Analogue Outputs
Balanced Output
Balanced connections provide greater dynamic headroom and improved S/N
ratio. If your amplifier has a greater dynamic headroom input uses the balanced
connection. You need one XLR balanced cable per channel. The socket connects
to the player and the plug normally connects to the amplifier.
Unbalanced Output
If you cannot used the balanced outputs, connect a high quality stereo screened
RCA phone change to phono lead from the unbalanced outputs of the 8300CDQ
to a suitable input of the amplifier.
Headphone Output
A stereo 6.3mm (1/4") jack is provided on the front panel for connecting
headphones. Connecting headphones mutes the audio signal. 8300CDQ
headphone output is up to +3dB, users can select suitable output level base on
their headphones. Caution: When using headphones, playing music at very high
volumes may permanently damage your hearing.
Analogue Input
Three standard line inputs are provided. Connect a high quality screened RCA
phono lead from the line output of your source component the appropriate input
of the 8300CDQ
Digital Outputs
Coaxial and Optical output
One Coaxial and one Optical SPDIF digital output. Connect a suitable digital
coaxial (fully screened) interconnect or optical cable from the appropriate SPDIF
output of the 8300CDQ to the input of the DAC or CD transport.
Digital Inputs
Four digital inputs (Two Coaxial and two Optical) are provided for connecting
the 8300CDQ to an external SPDIF source. The inputs are connectable to a
wide range of digital media. Connect a suitable digital coaxial (fully screened)
interconnect or optical cable from the SPDIF output of the source component to
the appropriate input of the 8300CDQ.
If you are connecting a multichannel source, access the menu of the source
component and set SPDIF output to (L)PCM Stereo with the speakers OFF.
USB Port
Use a certified USB2.0 cable, connect the cable to 8300CDQ and
then to the USB port on the digital source. If the media player on your
computer features stereo and multichannel output set the output of the
media player to stereo.
12V Trigger Connectors
A trigger circuit is a "daisy chain" in which one unified command from
the master unit (8300CDQ) can bring all the connected "slave" units
into or out of standby. The slave equipment is left powered on but is
switched in and out of standby in synchronism with the master. When
the 8300CDQ is powered on or off, the trigger pulse switches all slave
equipment on or off in tandem.
Two trigger outputs are provided and they are both enabled as supplied
though you may fully or partially disable them as required.

Mains Input
Before connecting the 8300CDQ to the mains supply make sure that all the other
connections to your system have been properly and securely made. Make sure
the ON/OFF switch on the 8300CDQ is switched off. Switch the mains supply
off at the wall socket, and then, using the cable supplied, connect the socket on
the back of your 8300CDQ to an AC supply outlet. The player is now ready for
operation.
