CONNECTIONS

All terminals for hook up are located on the rear panel. While connecting the CD player all components of the music system must be turned off.

CAUTION: Before connecting the unit please check if the input voltage of the 061 is equal to the local voltage of your wall outlet. Make sure the ground lead in your power outlet is working correctly. A missing or faulty ground is extremely dangerous!
In case of doubt contact a licensed electrician.

AC mains terminal
Make sure the AC mains switch (20) is set to OFF. Connect the appliance connector of the power cord to the AC mains terminal (21). Then plug the power cord into the wall outlet.There are various possibilities for connecting the CD player, depending upon the kind of audio components and auxiliary devices used. For the best connections please also refer to the owner’s manual of your audio components or auxiliary devices. The following explains the various hookup possibilities:

HOOKUP TO A DIGITAL AMPLIFIER

Digital outputs The player provides two digital outputs for connecting a digital amplifier: The terminal TOTX (24) sends optical signals via optical cable with TOSHIBA-norm plugs. The terminal RCA (25) requires a 75ohms coax cable with RCA plugs. Choose whichever connection sounds best to you if your amplifier allows both types of hookup.

CAUTION: The terminal RCA (25) must not be connected to the analog input of an amplifier because this could damage the amp or the loudspeakers.

HOOKUP OF A DIGITAL SOURCE COMPONENT

Digital inputs The CD player 061 offers three digital inputs for the connection of external digital source components such as DAT recorders or CD players: The terminals RCA1 (28) and RCA2 (27) receive electronic signals and require 75ohms coax cable with RCA plugs. The terminal TORX (26) receives optical signals and requires an optical cable with plugs according to TOSHIBA norm. Choose whichever connection sounds best to you if your amplifier allows both types of hookup.

CAUTION: The digital inputs of the 061 can process PCM stereo data with a sample rate up to 192kHz. If the digital source offers a sample rate with more than 96kHz you must switch the CD player to 192kHz with the AUDIO button of the remote control. This is done when the AUDIO LED (11) lights up.

HOOKUP TO AN ANALOG AMPLIFIER

Analog outputs To connect an analog amplifier or receiver the 061 offers balanced as well as unbalanced outputs. If your amplifier or receiver provides balanced inputs connect them to the terminals BALANCED R (29) and BALANCED L (32). Unbalanced connections can be made using the terminals UNBAL (30). An analog recording device may be hooked up to the terminal TAPE (31). For reasons of superior sound we recommend using balanced connections whenever possible. The pinning of the balanced outputs are: PIN1=GND, PIN2=NEG, PIN3=POS.

ADDITIONAL CONNECTIONS
MMI slot (optional) The MMI slot (19) offers to integrate future developments into the CD player 061, for example a multi media interface.

REMOTE Connecting DC OUT (22) to the corresponding DC IN-jack of another BURMESTER-unit offers to switch on or off this other unit simultaneous by the 061. In this case, 061 has the master function. Connecting DC IN (23) to the corresponding DC OUT-jack of another BURMESTER-unit offers to switch on or off the 061 simultaneous by the other unit. In this case, 061 has the slave function.

BURLINK(optional) To the BURmester-LINK interface plugs (17), (18) a computer system like PC, CRESTRON®, Nevo e.g. can be connected to the CD player 061. The computer system allows a comfortable control of your hifi system using an individual programmable touch panel for example. With the LEDs beside the plugs named T and R (Transmit and Receive) you can check whether data exchange is working. The BURLINK module is available on request at your local dealer.
