How to handle discs

• Do not use any deficient disc (with cracks, warp, etc.).
• Do not damage the signal surface of the disc or make it dirty.
• Do not place paper or a sticker on the disc. Such awkward handling can warp the disc and playback may become impossible. In many cases, rental discs carry labels and paste may protrude from under the label. Before use, check that the disc is free from protruding paste or the like.
• Do not play with two discs in a stack.
• Some of discs with printable surface, so-called "printable CD-R", easily stick to the clamper (that holds a CD during playback). Please do not use such a disc. Otherwise, it may become impossible to take out the disc or it may become a cause of failure of the unit.

How to store discs

• Always put your discs in a case. Store them vertically where high temperature, high humidity, and direct exposure to sunlight are not prevalent. Places with extremely low temperature should also be avoided.
• Read the caution notes carefully that are attached to discs.

Disc cleaning

• If a disc is dirty from fingerprints or dusty, the sound quality may be lowered. Lightly wipe the disc with soft cloth, from the inside to outer periphery. (Don't wipe it along the circumference.)
• Do not use a volatile chemical such as benzine or thinner. Record spray, anti-static agents, and other such materials cannot be used either.
• Where the disc seems to be very dirty, dip soft cloth in water, wring it well, and remove contaminants. Lastly, remove the moisture with dry cloth.

Disc in a specific shape

This unit cannot accept discs in specific shapes (heart-shaped, hexagonal, etc.) for playback. Never use such discs as they can cause malfunctions.

Lens cleaning

If the lens is dusty, sound skips may take place. Do not use any cleaning discs available on the market because they may damage the lens.

Digital input selection switch (DIGITAL IN)

Remote control

• Main unit

This switch is pressed when using this unit as a D/A converter.

1. Each time the DIGITAL IN switch is pressed, the display changes as follows. COAXIAL → OPTICAL → USB → CD

The coaxial and optical inputs support the following signals.

Sampling frequency : 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz,

88.2 kHz, 96 kHz, 176.4 kHz, 192 kHz

Number of quantization bit : 16-bit, 20-bit, 24-bit

The USB input supports the following signals.

- PCM signal

Sampling frequency : 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz,

88.2 kHz, 96 kHz, 176.4 kHz, 192 kHz

Number of quantization bit : 16-bit, 24-bit, 32-bit

When the OS is Windows, the dedicated driver software needs to be installed.

Refer to "Driver Installation Manual" on the LUXMAN website for detailed information.

With Mac, this unit is automatically recognized.

Caution:

Connection between a PC and this unit with use of a USB cable shall not be performed before the installation of this driver software is completed. Failure to observe this may cause malfunction.

2. The selected input type and sampling status are displayed on the main unit display window.

This sampling frequency and bit count of the digital signal are displayed, which is connected to the input terminal (COAX/OPT/USB) selected with the digital input selection switch. When one of COAX/OPTICAL/USB is selected using the digital input selection switch and the digital signal from each digital device and this unit are synchronized, the sampling frequency and bit count of the digital signal are displayed.

When a digital signal input is not provided or the signal is not synchronized even if the signal input is provided, "UNLOCK" is displayed.

When USB is selected, only the sampling frequency is displayed. The bit count is not displayed.

- The bit count (word length) indicates the contents of the word length data included in the channel status which is specified in IEC60958-3 (digital audio interface - Part 3: consumer applications).

Some output devices may provide channel status data (word length data) whose content is different from the actual word length. In such a case, the contents of the channel status data are indicated on the display instead of the actual bit count.

Alternatively, some devices or sources may provide the data that states "the word length is not specified". In such a case, the bit count is not displayed.

- There may be a case where the display indicates "LOCK" shortly, and then "UNLOCK". (The reverse case is also possible.) That is because the former state (LOCK/ UNLOCK) is indicated for approx. 0.5 seconds since an input signal is changed until the circuit gets stable.

Detailed Settings

Dimmer switch (DIMMER)

Remote control

The brightness of the main unit display can be adjusted. The brightness can be adjusted in 4 steps from light off to normal.
