Unpacking and Placement Unpacking the CDD Unpack your CDD Compact Disc Drive and remove all accessories from the car- ton. Important! Keep all packing materials for future transport of your CDD. Shipping your new component in anything other than its purpose-designed packing material may result in damage that is not covered by the warranty.
Attempting to operate the CDD at an incorrect voltage can damage the unit. The CDD Compact Disc Drive is also set at the factory for operation on either 50 or 60 Hz AC line frequencies, as appropriate for the country in which it is to be sold.
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 CDD Compact Disc Drive incorporates many unusual features that enhance its operation.
Congratulations! Y ou should now be able to enjoy your favorite music while reading the rest of this manual. (Please, do read the rest of this manual.) Although your Proceed CDD Compact Disc Drive delivers outstanding perfor- Warm up/break-in period...
Special Design Features Congratulations on your purchase of the CDD Compact Disc Drive. The Madrigal design team is confident you will enjoy the outstanding performance of the CDD for many years. In case you are interested in technical details, what follows is a brief outline of some of the key technologies in your new transport.
Proceed products. Industrial Design The CDD shares the handsome industrial design of other Proceed components such as the DAP digital audio processor. Dark buttons against a light face simplify the operation of the CDD, even in a dimly-lit room.
c d d track/index display power program– program+ prev/rew play/pause next/f.fwd stop/drawer repeat time remaining on disc random program disc track PR O C E E D Front Panel, CDD POWER & POWER LED Assuming that the CDD’s power cord is connected to AC power, pressing this latching power button connects the CDD to the AC mains and turns on the unit.
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.
TIME INDICATOR The time section of the display can be set to display any of the following four indications of time in minutes and seconds: time elapsed in track time elapsed on disc time remaining on disc time remaining on track These four options are accessed by pressing the button to the right display...

If the CDD senses an obstruction during opening of the drawer mecha- nism, it will attempt to re-close. If successful, it will read the disc’s table of contents and display the disc’s number of tracks and total time (followed by the playlist’s track and time information, if one exists).

TIME ON DISC AND TIME REMAINING LED INDICATORS These LEDs are used to indicate which of the four available display modes the CDD is in. The four indications of time that can be displayed are: • (neither LED lit) time elapsed in track •...
It has been Madrigal’s experience that the AES/EBU interconnection stan- dard offers the best quality of all digital transmission interfaces when fully optimized, and we recommend its use wherever possible between Proceed components. However, optimizing any digital interface completely represents a significant engineering challenge.

S/PDIF (BNC) ELECTRICAL DIGITAL OUTPUT This output provides the digital audio signal ) via cables equipped with BNC-type connectors to the digital processor. This output conforms to the Sony/Philips Digital Interface Standard (S/PDIF), which calls for a 75Ω transmission of the DAS. Use a digital inter- connecting cable specifically designed for the 75Ω...
100 mA If you would like more information on the possibility of using an infrared repeater with your CDD, please contact your Proceed dealer. AC POWER INPUT This input accepts AC power from the AC mains (via the supplied AC cable).
Remote Control, CDD IR TRANSMITTER WINDOW The CDD’s Remote Control sends infrared (IR) commands through its pro- jection lens, and the CDD receives IR commands through its Remote sensor window. (See “Front Panel, CDD”). If either of these lenses is obstructed, /dwr no IR commands can be received by the CDD.

NUMERIC KEYPAD The numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 may be used to directly access in- dividual track numbers of discs played by the CDD. For example, to go di- rectly to track 13, press followed by , and then press .

PROCEED DAP CONTROLS These four buttons control the key functions of the Proceed DAP , should you choose to purchase this outstanding digital audio processor as a com- panion to your CDD.
BATTERY COMPARTMENT The two AA batteries used by the Remote Control must be placed inside the compartment on the back of the remote’s housing (near the bottom). Carefully remove the battery compartment cover and insert the batteries, being careful to orient them as indicated inside the battery compartment. Then replace the cover, clicking it into place.

If the requirements of your installation preclude a clean line of sight between the CDD and your listening position, you may want to consider using an infrared re- peater to route the remote control’s commands directly to the CDD, using the ex- ternal ir input on the rear panel.
75Ω S/PDIF interconnection (via either RCA or BNC connectors). Both cables are available in various lengths from your Proceed dealer. Using an appropriate cable, connect an output of your CDD to a suitable input of your digital processor.
Basic Operation Before operating your CDD, take a minute to become familiar with its controls and their locations. (See “Front Panel” and “Remote Control.”) To load a CD: Loading a CD 1. Enable the CDD’s controls by pressing if in standby . standby 2.
As soon as you release the button, play resumes. If you search past the beginning or end of a track, the laser pickup will move on to the previous (or next) track. If you try to search forward past the end of a CD or program, the laser pickup will stop at the end of the last track.
Track repeat takes priority over other functions such as . To re- next previous turn to normal operation, press repeat again. To repeat (continuously) a specific phrase or passage on a CD (when learning A-B Repeat how to play a favorite solo, for example), press rpt a/b on the remote at the be- ginning of the passage you would like to repeat.
Programming the CDD Introduction to Playlists Rather than playing an entire CD, you may choose to play only certain selections. To do this, you create a “playlist” for that particular CD. It may be used immedi- ately upon being created, and will remain in memory until replaced by a differ- ent playlist.

Using Learning Remote Controls The CDD includes both an infrared receiver and an infrared transmitter. With this capability, it can “teach” a learning remote control any commands that might be needed for remote operation. Specifically, the CDD can send all of the necessary IR commands from its display window, enabling you to teach a learning remote any or all of its pre-pro- grammed commands, as well as some optional special commands that are avail-...
