VINCENT CD-200 Manuel D'utilisation page 33

The CD-200 has two analogue signal outputs and
one digital output connection on the back of the
device. The signal from the integrated D/A conver-
ter can be input to a traditional analogue audio
component (amplifier) via the analogue outputs
(13). On the digital output (14) there is a digital
output audio signal which can be processed by
external D/A converters or digital processors.
Use of the analogue RCA output
This is where the stereo audio signal converted to analogue by the high quality integrated D/A converter
and amplified by the Hybrid stage is output. One stereo set of RCA cable is required for connection to
an amplifier. Connect the RCA connectors ("L" and "R") in the field "AUDIO OUTPUTS" (13) with the left
and right audio connectors of the amplifier input (standard line level input) which is usually labelled "CD,"
"LINE IN" or "FRONT R/L".

Use of the digital output
This output emits the music signal as a digital S/PDIF audio signal (PCM). The connection is only required
if an external D/A converter is to be used or the player is to be connected to the coaxial digital audio
input of an AV receiver or an AV preamplifier. To make the connection you need a coaxial cable with 75Ω
characteristic wave impedance and with a RCA connector on both sides, which is not supplied with the
device. Connect the connector "DIGITAL OUT COAXIAL" (14) of the device to the digital input socket of
the amplifier which is usually labelled "DIGITAL IN" or "COAXIAL". The best sound is obtained in most
cases by connection with one of the analogue outputs (13).

OPTICAL IN
Only one of the three outputs needs to be connec-
ted to play CDs. Select the appropriate connection
between the CD player and your amplifier, pream-
plifier, receiver or converter. Bear in mind when
doing this that the special sound qualities of the
player's hybrid amplifier stage will only be exploi-
ted if one of the analogue outputs (14) is used to
transmit the music signal.
