Congratulations on your purchase of the Sphinx
Project Thirty-two!
You are now part of an ever-increasing group of
quality-conscious audiophiles using Sphinx
products.
We are very proud of the tradition connected with
the SPHINX name, especially concerning audio
quality perfection.
This manual will help you to gain a maximum
amount of pleasure and quality from your new
Sphinx Project Thirty-two HDCD player.
This remarkable HDCD player is based upon the
latest Philips CDM-12.4 mechanism. One of the
special features is the discrete Class A output amp
section. The three separate 'R-core' transformers
for the digital and analogue sections plus the
integrated power supply filter ensure an extremely
high S/N-ratio.
A really unique feature are the 24 bit 8-times
oversampling D/A-converters of which there are two
in each channel: meaning the True Balanced signal
path is actually starting in the digital domain!
Extremely handy are the extra digital inputs by
means of which the D/A-converters are also
separately available for external signals.
The Project Thirty-two thus offers two distinct
functions from just a single component.
Almost all functions are accessible with the
supplied Sphinx Remote Control.
To obtain the maximum quality from this CD player
it is necessary to use it with top quality audio
components, preferably with other Sphinx
components.
Please read this manual carefully before you
install or use the Project Thirty-two. It is
important to familiarise yourself with the
special functions, operation and possibilities
of the Sphinx Project Thirty-two.
Your local dealer will be able to answer any
questions concerning other Sphinx audio
components.

1. UNPACKING
Before leaving the factory every Project Thirty-two
is subjected to stringent and extensive technical
and exterior quality inspection.
This ensures you will enjoy many years of high
quality audio performance from a perfect-looking
product.
After unpacking your Project Thirty-two we
therefore recommend you carefully check it for any
transport damage.
In case of damage: please contact your Sphinx
dealer immediately and retain all packing materials
for possible proof of damage and possible claims.
Even if the component is in perfect condition you
should still keep the packing materials. If you need
to transport your Project Thirty-two at a later time it
will be best protected by the original packing
materials.
