Connections - Burmester Reference 069 Owner's Manual

All terminals for hook up are located on the rear panel. While connecting the CD player, all components of the music
system must be turned off.
There are various possibilities for connecting the CD player, depending upon the kind of audio components and
auxiliary devices used. For the best connections please also refer to the owner's manual of your audio components
or auxiliary devices. The following explains the various hookup possibilities:
HOOKUP TO AN ANALOG PREAMP, INTEGRATED AMP OR POWER AMP
Analog outputs To connect an analog pre amp, integrated amp or power amp the 069 offers balanced as
well as unbalanced outputs (ANALOG OUTPUTS). If your amplifier provides balanced
inputs, connect them to the terminals BALANCED R (36) and BALANCED L (39).
Unbalanced connections can be made using the terminals UNBAL (37). An analog
recording device may be hooked up to the terminal TAPE (38).
For reasons of superior sound we recommend using balanced connections whenever
possible. If you connect the CD player to an analog pre amplifier or integrated amplifier, we
recommend choosing the setting FIX in the SETUP MENU. You will find this setting in the
!
menu item OUTPUT.
CAUTION: If the CD player is connected directly to power amplifiers, you must
choose the setting VARIABLE ! ! !
loudspeakers, because the CD player delivers maximum level to the outputs ! ! !
The pinning of the balanced outputs are: PIN1=GND, PIN2=NEG, PIN3=POS.
HOOKUP TO A DIGITAL AMPLIFIER
Digital outputs The player provides two DIGITAL OUTPUTS for connecting a digital amplifier:
The terminal TOTX (31) sends optical signals via optical cable with TOSHIBA-norm plugs.
The terminal RCA (32) requires a 75ohms coax cable with RCA plugs.
Choose whichever connection sounds best to you if your amplifier allows both types of
hookup.
CAUTION: The terminal RCA (32) must not be connected to the analog input of an amplifier
because this could damage the amp or the loudspeakers.
HOOKUP OF A DIGITAL SOURCE COMPONENT
Digital inputs The CD player 069 offers three DIGITAL INPUTS for the connection of external digital
source components such as DAT recorders or CD players:
The terminals RCA1 (35) and RCA2 (34) receive electronic signals and require 75ohms
coax cable with RCA plugs.
The terminal TORX (33) receives optical signals and requires an optical cable with plugs
according to TOSHIBA norm.
Choose whichever connection sounds best to you if your amplifier allows both types of
hookup.
CAUTION: The digital inputs of the 069 can process PCM stereo data with a sample rate up
to 96kHz.
