. Now connect the cable to a suitable AC power point.
There is no mains power switch on the CD 8
SE
2
. To switch off the mains
supply to the CD 8
SE
2
remove the plug from the wall outlet. For this reason,
ensure that the plug is easily accessible when installing the unit.
Connecting to the System Amplifier
(CD 8 SE
2
and CD 6 SE
2
only)
Connect a suitable stereo RCA phono interconnect to the audio output
sockets
a of the CD 8 SE
2
and the corresponding input of the amplifier or
receiver. Amplifier inputs suitable for this purpose are CD or AUX inputs.
Dual outputs are provided for convenient connection to multiroom units or for
direct connection to tape/disc recorders etc.
DO NOT connect the CD 8
SE
2
to the PHONO input of the amplifier, as this
could damage your amplifier or speakers.
Connecting an External D/A Converter
The CD 8 SE
2
provides a digital output to drive an external D/A converter.
Using a digital interconnect, connect the DIGITAL OPTICAL
b or DIGITAL
COAXIAL
c (CD 8 SE
2
, CD XT SE
2,
CD T TRANSPORT only) to the input of a
suitable D/A converter and connect the converter’s audio outputs to a suitable
input of the amplifier. Refer to the D/A converter handbook for guidance.
The DIGITAL COAXIAL connection is recommended where this connection is
available.
Connecting a Cyrus PSX-R (CD 8 SE
2
and CD XT SE
2
only)
The Cyrus PSX-R is a high quality regulated power supply, the use of which
will elevate your CD 8
SE
2
into a true world-class state-of-the-art product.
The connector fitted to the umbilical cable from the PSX-R must be securely
connected to the PSX-R socket
e on the rear of the CD 8 SE
2
. When correctly
fitted, the connector will latch into the socket.
NOTE: The PSX-R power supply and the CD 8
SE
2
will both require
connection to the mains supply.
NOTE: Connection of a PSX-R is detected automatically, so no internal
adjustments are required.
MC-Bus System Connection (Optional)
By using the MC-BUS connection on your CD 8 SE
2
, a highly functional
integrated system with full remote control may be set up. This feature is
usable if you own a Cyrus amplifier. Refer to the relevant product handbook
for MC-BUS wiring instructions.
