User manual VINCENT CD-S4

[. . . ] Class A CD-Player Class A CD player Lecteur de CD Classe A Dear Customer, we thank you for the confidence you prove in purchasing our product. It will match your high demands towards sound and manufacturing quality. Though it is understandable that you want to plug and play this product instantaneously, we encourage you to read this manual carefully before installation. It will help you in handling and operating this machine in your system and obtaining the best possible performance, even if it was installed by your dealer. [. . . ] Many devices which can be controlled by a switching signal (not preamplifiers or integrated amplifiers), have two terminals which do not differentiate between input and output. Even some devices that transmit the switch signal (preamplifiers and integrated preamplifiers) lack this marking. "POWER CONTROL" sockets of preamplifiers or integrated amplifiers must not be interconnected!All receiving devices must not be connected to more than one preamplifier or integrated amplifier (directly or indirectly)!If a "POWER CONTROL" cable is connected to the back of the CD-S4 and the 12V switching signal is given, the main amplifier can no longer be switched off with the "POWER" button. If the power control function is not desired, the switch signal cables must therefore be removed!The amplifier is switched on and off using this button at the front panel. When switched off the device is internally NOT separated from the AC power and reacts to a "POWER CONTROL" (12) switching signal. As a precaution, before switching on, the volume setting of your system's preamplifier and the level of the headphones (34) should be reduced. This function may only be activated with the remote control and only during playback. This control is to allow the adaptation of the player to the system (mainly the amplifier) and it must not be used to change the volume of the CD player in daily use. It is sufficient for almost all amplifiers/receivers/preamplifiers to put the setting to the maximum and to leave it there. A different value is only used if the CD player is much louder compared with the other sources at the amplifier/receiver or it is distorted (clipping). The maximum signal level is reached with a setting of 26 and the minimum is at 00. turn the dial "LEVEL" clockwise to increase the volume in the headphones and anticlockwise to reduce the volume. This volume control has no effect on the output level of the "ANALOG OUTPUT" (10) on the back of the device. This function can only be operated using the associated front panel button. When repeatedly pressed, the display (3) brightness is periodically reduced (1x), switched off (2x) and restored to the original, maximum brightness (3x). Change the volume level of connected headphones (33) Change the brightness of the front panel display This button, both on the front of the device and on the remote control, starts playing the inserted CD and the symbol " " appears on the display (3) during play. if there is no CD inserted , "NO DISC" appears in the display and pressing the button has no effect. If the button is pressed again while a CD is playing, play will be interrupted at the current position. this "PAUSE" mode is indicated in the display by the symbol " ". [. . . ] Create an audio connection between the CD player and the receiver/amplifier as described in the "Installation" section. Front panel display does not work It has been switched off before using "DIMMER" (15). One of the signal cables between CD player and amplifier input has not yet been plugged in or is defective. One of the loudspeaker cables or (if you are using pre & main amplifiers) one of the signal cables between pre and main amplifier is not correctly connected or is faulty. [. . . ]
