CONNECTION
When making any connections to this component or any other device, make
sure the power amplifier and the preamplifier are OFF and disconnected from
the AC current.
1. Plug the CD-1 into a standard wall AC receptacle.
NOTE: If the phase control indicator glow red, the phase polarity is wrong.
Reverse the AC plug! (This function is operating for 230V and Schucko plug
version only)
2. Connect the CD-1 analog output to the appropriate preamplifier or
integrated amplifier input.
The CD-1 is equipped with two analog output configurations:
Single-ended via RCA connectors and balanced via XLR connectors.
The XLR pin configuration is:
Pin 1 Ground
Pin 2 Non-inverting ( plus + )
Pin 3 Inverting ( minus - )
The left and right channel RCA and XLR outputs are labelled on the rear
panel.
The CD-1 is equipped with one S/PDIF coaxial digital output in order to send
this output to a digital recording device or external D/A processor.
Note: Never connect this jack to a non-digital input of an amplifier, such as
AUX, CD, TAPE, PHONO, etc. Damage May Occur!
BREAK-IN PERIOD
Your new Ayon Audio electronics CD-1 tube CD- Player has an initial break–in
period. The unit will not perform to its full sonic potential when first installed in
your system. This is partially due to a residual polarization of the dielectric
materials used in the PCB, like resistors, capacitors, chokes, transformers and
internal wiring. As music is played through the unit, the electrical signal will
gradually anneal these materials. Only after the break-in period will the full
performance of your Ayon Audio CD-1 is fully realized. The break-in process
will occur naturally as music is played through the system.
° Break- in: 30 to 50 hours
