Because the CD2 runs cool, it can be placed in many system locations without compromise. We do not recommend placing weights or other objects directly on the CD2. This may scratch or mar the chassis finish. Do not use harsh chemicals when cleaning the outside of your CD2. Placement on top of your furniture or on a shelf with at least 6 inches of clearance above the CD2 will ensure that you can access the top loading CD transport mechanism.
DO NOT OPERATE the CD2 WITHOUT a CD in PLACE If you attempt to take the CD2 out of Wait State when no CD is present, it will go back into Wait State. The CD Laser is inactive whenever the CD2 is in Stop mode or Wait State. The Laser will not operate without a CD and the Magnetic Puck on the turntable. You can ONLY take the CD2 out of Wait State with a CD in place and the Magnetic Puck on the CD.
The CD2 Remote Control has a comprehensive set of control features that are not available on the front panel control. To access all CD2 control features press the button marked CD on the remote control. e.One DAC or Preamp functions can be controlled by selecting DAC or PRE on the remote. The Main CD controls will still operate in the DAC and PRE modes. Display: Toggles the Display ON and OFF. When in OFF mode, the Display will come on momentarily when changing the CD2 operation.
The CD2 digital outputs operate only at 16/44.1. Any processing of the digital data will be handled by your external DAC. The 192kHz setting is used only when using the CD2 analog outputs. IMPORTANT: If using the CD2 directly into a power amplifier, ensure that the Fixed/Variable Output button is in the OUT (variable) position.
• The CD2 must be powered by either the desktop power supply, the VBS1 or the LNS1. If using the VBS1, please refer to the VBS1 User’s Guide for connectivity. If using the LNS1, please read the following: • The LNS1 is designed to power Bel Canto CD2 or VB equipped products only. Use of any cable other than the supplied power interconnect may damage either the LNS1 or VB equipped unit and will void any warranty. Certain non-VB equipped Bel Canto units can be factory upgraded.
• The precision machined and polished turntable axis is designed to center the magnetic puck for stable rotation, minimizing a potential source of low frequency jitter. This axis is polished to prevent scratching of the CD surface because of contact with the axis when placing or removing a CD from the turntable. • The magnetic puck can be stored either on the top surface of the CD2 top cover or on the turntable axis when not playing a CD.
