This chapter provides information on
the supplied accessories and how to
connect various audio components to
the Super Audio CD player.  Be sure
to read this chapter thoroughly before
you actually connect anything to the
player.

This player comes with the following items:
• Audio connecting cord

(phono jack 

×

 2 y phono jack 

×

 2)  (1)

• Mains lead (1)
• Plug adapter (U.S.A. and Canadian models only) (1)
• Stabilizer (1)
• Remote commander (remote) RM-DS1 (1)
• R03 (size-AAA) batteries (2)

Insert two R03 (size-AAA) batteries into the battery
compartment with the + and – correctly oriented to the
markings.  When using the remote, point it at the remote
sensor   on the player.

z

Under normal conditions, the batteries should last for about six
months.  When the remote no longer operates the player, replace
both batteries with new ones.

Notes
• Do not leave the remote in an extremely hot or humid place.
• Do not drop any foreign object into the remote casing,

particularly when replacing the batteries.

• Do not use a new battery with an old one.
• Do not expose the remote sensor to direct sunlight or lighting

apparatus.  Doing so may cause a malfunction.

• If you do not intend use the remote for an extended period of

time, remove the batteries to avoid possible damage from
battery leakage and corrosion.

Connect the Super Audio CD player to an audio
component. Be sure to turn off the power of all
components before making connections and connect
securely to prevent noise.

Use an audio connecting cord for this connection. Be sure to
match the colour-coded pin to the appropriate jacks: white (left)
to white and red (right) to red.

Use an XLR (balanced) cord for this connection. When connecting
an XLR (balanced) cord to the LINE OUT BALANCED
connectors, set the BALANCED OUT ON/OFF switch on the rear
panel of the player to ON.

Use an optical digital cable for this connection. When connecting
the optical digital cable to the DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL
connector, take the cap off the connectors and push the cable
plugs in until they click into place.
Be sure to show “16 bit” in the display by pressing DIGITAL OUT
on the upper side of the player. Be careful not to bend or twist the
optical cable.

Note
Only the audio signals of the CD can be output from the
DIGITAL OUT connectors. Those of the Super Audio CD cannot
be output through DIGITAL OUT.

Use a coaxial digital cable to connect the audio components
equipped with coaxial digital input connectors. When connecting
the coaxial digital cable, be sure to show “16 bit” in the display
by pressing DIGITAL OUT on the upper side of the player.

Note
Only the audio signals of the CD can be output from the
DIGITAL OUT connectors. Those of the Super Audio CD cannot
be output through DIGITAL OUT.

The Super Audio CD includes high frequencies beyond
the audible range, although the design of normal
amplifiers and speakers is based on characteristics
corresponding to the audible range.
Therefore, if you increase the volume or treble excessively
during Super Audio CD playback, noise may occur or the
amplifier’s protect circuit may be activated. To prevent
these problems, set the switch at the rear of this player in
accordance with the connected amplifier.  This enables
you to match the output signal to the amplifier
characteristics.

This switch is set to “STANDARD” at the factory. When
you connect this player to a normal amplifier, leave the
switch as it is. Never set it to “CUSTOM,” otherwise noise
may be produced or the speakers and the amplifier may
be damaged.

When you connect this player to the Preamplifier TA-E1
(not supplied) and the Power Amplifier TA-N1 (not
supplied), remove the cover as illustrated below, and set
the switch to “CUSTOM.”
The “CUSTOM” mode enables you to enjoy wider range
of frequencies.

Note
When you record the audio signals of a Super Audio CD to a tape
deck (Cassette deck etc.), set the switch to “STANDARD” even if
the player is connected to the Preamplifier TA-E1 and the Power
Amplifier TA-N1.

Connect the supplied mains lead to the AC IN terminal on
the player.

Connect the supplied mains lead to the mains.

U.S.A. and Canadian models only
The supplied mains lead has a 3-pronged grounded plug.
If you are using 3-pronged grounded mains, the plug can
be inserted directly into the mains. However, if the socket
is a 2-pronged grounded mains, use the supplied plug
adapter or a commercially available plug adapter.

2-pronged polarized mains
• When the width of the mains are a different size

Use the supplied plug adapter.

• When the width of the mains are the same size

Use a commercially available plug adapter. In this case,
you can check the polarity of the mains with a
commercially available spark-testing screwdriver.  It is
the pronged ground that does not light the neon grow
lamp even if you insert the spark-testing screwdriver
into the mains. Insert the blades so that the “N pole”
can be inserted to the ground on the plug.

If noise (hum) is produced
Noise may be caused by an electric potential difference on
the ground circuit.* In this case, use the supplied plug
adapter and be careful not to connect the ground lead to
anything.

* Although the ground of the domestic mains is normally a

safety ground, a few electrical potential differences may be
produced, depending on the mains. Therefore, use of the
supplied 3-pronged mains lead may lessen the quality of the
audio signal or may produce humming noise.

When you connect this player to the following units,
remove the cover as illustrated below, then set the switch
to “CUSTOM.”
• TA-E1 (stereo preamplifier) and TA-N1 (stereo power

amplifier)

• T A-FA777ES (integrated stereo amplifier)
The “CUSTOM” mode enables you to enjoy a wider range
of frequencies.

Note
When you record the audio signals of a Super Audio CD to a tape
deck (Cassette deck etc.), set the switch to “STANDARD” even if
the player is connected to the one of the units described above.

You can play the following discs with this player.
Depending on the type of disc to be played, select the
appropriate indicator by pressing SACD/CD (pages 8,
12).

This disc consists of a single HD layer*.
Press SACD/CD repeatedly so that the SACD indicator
on the upper side of the player lights.
*High density signal layer for the Super Audio CD

This disc consists of dual HD layers and is capable of
extended play over long periods.
Press SACD/CD repeatedly so that the SACD indicator
on the upper side of the player lights.
Also, as the dual layer disc consists of dual HD layers on
one side only, it is not necessary to turn the disc over.

This disc is the current format.
Press SACD/CD repeatedly so that the CD indicator on
the upper side of the player lights.

This disc consists of an HD layer and a CD layer. Press
SACD/CD to select the layer you want to listen to. Also,
as the dual layers are on one side, it is not necessary to
turn the disc over. You can play the CD layer using a
conventional CD player.

Incompatible Discs
This player cannot play the following discs. If you try to
play them, the error message “TOC Error” will appear or
there will be no sound.
• CD-ROM
• DVD etc.
