There are various possibilities to connect the CD player, depending upon the kind of audio components and auxiliary devices used. For the best connections please refer to the owner’s manual of your audio components or auxiliary devices. Following the various connection possibilities are explained:

CONNECTING AN ANALOG AMPLIFIER

Analog outputs

To connect an analog preamp, integrated amp or power amp the 089 offers balanced as well as unbalanced outputs (ANALOG OUTPUTS). If your amplifier provides balanced inputs, connect them to the terminals BALANCED R (36) and BALANCED L (39). Unbalanced connections can be made using the terminals UNBAL (37). An analog recording device may be hooked up to the terminal TAPE (38). For reasons of superior sound we recommend using balanced connections whenever possible. If you connect the CD player to an analog preamplifier or integrated amplifier, we recommend choosing the setting FIX in the SYSTEM-SETUP. You will find this setting in the menu item OUTPUT.

CAUTION: If the CD player is connected directly to power amplifiers, you must choose the setting VARIABLE ! ! ! The setting FIX may destroy your loudspeakers, because the CD player delivers maximum level to the outputs ! ! !

The pinning of the balanced outputs are: PIN1=GND, PIN2=NEG, PIN3=POS.

CONNECTING A DIGITAL AMPLIFIER

Digital outputs

The player provides two DIGITAL OUTPUTS for connecting a digital amplifier:

The terminal TOTX (32) sends optical signals via optical fiber cable with plugs according to TOSHIBA norm.

The terminal RCA (33) 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 (33) must not be connected to the analog input of an amplifier because this could damage the amp or the loudspeakers.

CONNECTING A DIGITAL SOURCE COMPONENT

Digital inputs

The CD player 089 offers two DIGITAL INPUTS for the connection of external digital source components such as DAT recorders or CD players: The terminal TORX (34) receives optical signals and requires an optical cable with plugs according to TOSHIBA norm. The terminal RCA (35) receives electronic signals and requires a 75ohms coax cable with RCA plugs.

Choose whichever connection sounds best to you if your amplifier allows both types of connection.

CAUTION: The digital inputs of the 089 can process PCM stereo data with a sample rate up to 192kHz. For sample rates above 96kHz the player needs to be switched to 192kHz mode by pressing the AUDIO button on your remote control.

CONNECTING AN ANALOG SOURCE COMPONENT

Analog inputs

The CD player 089 offers a balanced ANALOG INPUT for the connection of external analog source components such as a phono preamplifier or a FM-tuner for example. The analog input terminals (26) and (27) are balanced connectors. If your analog source component offers only unbalanced connectors, you need two RCA to XLR connectors, which you can order at your local dealer.

The pinning of the balanced inputs are: PIN1=GND, PIN2=NEG, PIN3=POS.

ADDITIONAL CONNECTIONS

REMOTE

Connecting DC OUT (30) to the corresponding DC IN jack of another BURMESTER- unit offers to switch on or off this other unit simultaneous by the 089. In this case, the 089 has the master function.
