THE TOP COVER REMOVED. CONTACT WITH HIGH VOLTAGE INSIDE THE  
CD-306/200 PLAYER CAN BE FATAL !!!!!  
2.1 Unpacking  
All shipping containers have been specifically designed to protect their contents and special care  
has been taken to prevent damage under normal shipping conditions.  
Mishandling should be evident upon inspection of the shipping container. If CD-306/200 player  
mechanism or other damage is found after unpacking and visual inspection, take care not to  
destroy the evidence so that the shipping agent may inspect the damage. If necessary, document  
the damage with photographs and contact the shipping company immediately.  
Carefully remove your CD-306/200 CD Transport/Processor from its packing carton and  
examine it closely for signs of shipping damage. It is recommended to save all original packing  
cartons to protect your CD-306/200 from damage should you wish to store it or ship it for  
after-sales service.  
2.2 Placement  
In general, the location of your new CD-306/200 is not critical. However, certain precautions  
must be taken to ensure optimum performance. Avoid extremely hot locations such as near  
radiators or other heating units. Keep the top of the CD-306/200 clear of books, paper or other  
equipment to protect against overheating!! DO NOT place your CD-306/200 in a completely  
closed-in bookcase, as overheating will damage the CD Player! Do not stack the CD-306/200 on  
top of a power amplifier. Allow 8 to 10 inches above the unit for proper ventilation.  
2.3 Power Requirement  
The CD-306/200CD Transport/Processor is designed to operate from AC mains current. The  
design voltage is either 100-120V /or 200-240Volts AC, 50-60 Hz.  
2.4 Connections  
Digital Outputs : The outputs send a digital signal and should only be connected to the  
appropriate digital signal input of an accompanying component.  
Analog Outputs :These are for connection to the CD or AUX input jacks of an accompanying  
preamplifier.  
Digital Inputs: These are for connection to the CD, CD-R, DAT, MD,MP-3 and DVD player’s  
digital output jack.  
P.3  
 
OPERATION  
Signal output connection is made via the output jacks on the rear panel of the CD-306/200. The  
analog or digital output interconnect cables should go to the input connections on the  
accompanying preamplifier or Digital to Analog processor. The choice of high quality  
interconnect cable is important and we recommend them highly. Your audio dealer will have the  
proper cables in stock for this purpose.

3.13 Break- In Period  
The micro-components, capacitors and output transformers take approximately 100 hours of  
music playing to fully settle in for peak performance. The CD-306/200 will seem OK sounding  
right out of the box. However, after the first couple of hours you will notice increased depth and  
tighter bass. This break-in period contradicts engineering theory, but is true with most HIGH  
PERFORMANCE audio components.
