The residual adhesive may cause the disc tostick to the turntable of the CD-RW901. If it sticksto the turntable, you will need a technician to get itout.ConnectionsThe following should be noted when you connect theunit to other equipment.It is possible to connect the unit’s DIGITAL COAXIALIN, DIGITAL OPTICAL IN, DIGITAL IN (AES/EBU),and balanced or unbalanced ANALOG INs (L, R) toother equipment at the same time. However, the unitcan receive signals from only one digital input at a time.Currently selected input jack is shown on the display.Audio signals output from the unit are output from thebalanced or unbalanced ANALOG OUT jacks, as well asfrom the DIGITAL COAXIAL OUT, DIGITAL OPTICALOUT and DIGITAL OUT (AES/EBU) connector simulta-neously (but not from the digital outputs in stop mode).Currently selected input jack is shown on the display.Beware of condensationIf the unit (or a compact disc) is moved from a cold to awarm place, or used after a sudden temperature change,there is a danger of condensation; vapor in the air couldcondense on the internal mechanism, making correctoperation impossible. To prevent this, or if this occurs,let the player sit for one or two hours at the new roomtemperature before using.The pinouts of the CONTROL I/O (parallel) terminal onthe rear panel (see “Rear panel” on page 11) are:Pin Function1 STOP TALLY OUT2 REC TALLY OUT3 SKIP (forward) IN4 SKIP (back) IN5 EOM TALLY OUT6 REC IN7 CALL IN8 GND9 PLAY TALLY OUT10 READY TALLY OUT11 FADER, START/STOP12 STOP IN13 PLAY IN14 READY IN15 +5Vaa. The maximum current supplied from this terminal is 50 mA.Tall signals are open collector, with a maximum currentof 50 mA. Input signals are active when low (groun) for≥ 30 ms.A fader start/stop control should be wired according tothe following schematic:Control connections
