QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

My CD transport has both EIAA fiber optic and coaxial outputs. Which one

should I use?

Given a choice, we prefer the coaxial connection. If available, we suggest the

AES/EBU balanced format. This format utilizes a +’5v digital format and

has the additional benefit of balanced termination.

NOTE: For the KPS-30i, we recommend noncapacitive coaxial cable which has

a bandwidth in excess of IOMHz and excellent shielding properties. This is

true on both RCA and XLR terminated cables.

Q. Will I damage my KPS-30i if I leave the power ON all the time?

Ao No it’s intended to be on at all times. The circuits perform more consistently

once they reach thermal equilibrium.

NOTE: For the protection of your unit, we recommend disconnecting the AC

cord from the wall outlet before any electrical storms or if you plan on being

away from home for prolonged periods of time.

I have some very fine audiophile interconnect cable which has superior

sonic characteristics. Can I use this for my coaxial digital input?

A. You may experiment with any high quality cable. Note that most audio

interconnect cable is not designed to carry the ultra-high frequency

information of the digital bit stream.

Q. When I try to play a certain disc the KPS-30i displays an error message and

will not play. Is the transport defective?

A. Check to make sure the magnetic clamp is properly centered on the disc. If

this is not the problem, the disc may need to be cleaned. If the surface of

the disc is soiled the laser cannot read the data and will display an error

message or skip sections of tracks. You may want to experiment with some

compact disc cleaning products. If, after cleaning the disc, it still will not

play, the problem may be with the indexing on the CD. Some recording

companies stretch the parameters of the CD, pre~enting them from

conforming to transport standards. The KPS-30i transport is a very

accurate reading device and certain discs, typically those that do not

conform to the Sony and Philips discs standards, may not be acceptable to

the transport.
