  • Page 6: Unpacking And Placement

    Unpacking and Placement Unpacking the CDP Unpack your CDP Compact Disc Processor and remove all accessories from the carton. Important! Keep all packing materials for future transport of your CDP . Shipping your new component in anything other than its purpose-designed packing material may result in damage that is not covered by the warranty.

  • Page 7: Operating Voltage & Frequency

    Dealer. Any modification to this equipment will void all warranties. If the AC mains voltage or frequency indicated on your CDP is incorrect, please contact your local, authorized Proceed dealer or distributor. The CDP can easily be powered by a normal 15-ampere AC mains line. If other devices are also powered from the same AC line, their additional power con- sumption should be taken into account.

  • Page 8: A Quick Start

    A Quick Start… We recognize that many people are understandably eager to begin listening to their new components, and that reading the manual is often done (if at all) at a later time—perhaps while listening to music with the new product itself. We strongly recommend that you read this manual thoroughly, as the CDP Compact Disc Processor incorporates many unusual features that enhance its operation.

  • Page 9: Warm Up/Break-In Period

    (Please, do read the rest of this manual.) Warm up/break-in period Although your Proceed CDP Compact Disc Processor delivers outstanding perfor- mance straight out of the box, you should expect to hear it continue to improve as it reaches its normal operating temperatures and its various components “break-in.”...

  • Page 10: Special Design Features

    To the contrary, the various stages of signal processing be- tween the laser pickup and the final output can only contribute additional jitter of their own. The Proceed CDP leaps beyond conventional digital audio technology by em- ploying a proprietary, closed-loop jitter-reduction system in conjunction with a double speed drive.

  • Page 11: Fully Balanced Design

    The CDP shares the handsome industrial design of other Proceed components Industrial Design such as the PRE preamplifier. Dark buttons against a light face simplify the opera- tion of the CDP , even in a dimly-lit room.

    PREV/REW BUTTON Pressing this button momentarily will return you to the beginning of the current track. Pressing it repeatedly will move you backward through the available tracks, one at a time. Pressing and holding this button will instead perform a reduced-volume reverse scan of the music, reminiscent of the audible rewind function found on many cassette decks.

    This turn-on output uses a two conductor ⁄ " mini-jack, as does the match- ing input on the power amp. They may be connected using any standard wire fitting those requirements.
