Page 2: About Compact Disc Digital Audio
About Compact Disc Digital Audio… To most people, a Compact Disc (CD) looks like a small, silver phonograph record. In fact, there are some important differences between records and CDs. The information on a phonograph record is contained within its grooves. -
Page 3: Front Panel
When the master power switch on the rear panel is in the "|" (on) position, pressing this button takes the PCD 3/PDT 3 out of “standby” mode, turns the Display on, and makes the PCD 3/PDT 3 ready to play a CD. Pressing the button again puts the PCD 3/PDT 3 in standby mode and clears any previously programmed sequence of selections. - Page 4 pause While a CD is playing, pressing this button suspends play; pressing it again resumes play at the point where pause was first pressed. The LED above the pause button lights while play is suspended. next Pressing this button while a CD is playing suspends play, “skips” to the next track on the CD (or the next track in a programmed sequence), and begins playing that track.

Installing the spikes 3. The PCD 3/PDT 3 is shipped so that it rests solidly on two wide "feet," (optional) positioned under the front and back of the unit. -
Page 14: Removing The Transport Screws
You may choose instead to install the spikes in a triangular arrangement: Three spikes, mounted in a triangular pattern Install the spikes one at a time. Using the supplied hex key, remove the screw securing the foot to the base of the unit. Insert the threaded end of the spike through the hole in the foot, then turn it clockwise until it's hand-tight. -
Page 15: Location
Audio connections, PCD 3 9. Using a pair of high-quality audio cables, connect the left and right outputs of the PCD 3 to the left and right “CD” inputs of your receiver, integrated amplifier, or preamplifier. Make sure to connect the left output of the PCD 3 to the left input of the receiver, integrated amplifier, or preamplifier, and likewise for the right channel. -
Page 16: Audio Connections, Pdt 3
NEVER connect the PDT 3's digital output to PHONO inputs. Power supply connection 12. Connect the power supply cord of the PCD 3/PDT 3 to an unswitched convenience outlet (like those on the rear panel of many audio components). If you connect the PCD 3/PDT 3 directly to a wall outlet, make sure that the outlet has polarized sockets. -
