CAUTION!
The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive -Regulation of the European Union 2002 / 96 / EC governing the issue of separate waste collection. This device may not be disposed of in unsorted municipal waste. Devolve the appliance into a collection center for recycling and disposal of electrical and electronic equipment waste. Correct disposal of waste does not cause negative impacts on the environment and human health. You will thus contribute to the protection of the environment.

REMOTE CONTROL

Do not expose the sensors of your remote control to direct sunlight or to other strong light sources. Remote control operates at an angle of 60 ° to about 5 meters. Aim your remote control at the sensor on the device. There may not be any obstacles in the way between the sensor and remote control. If the appliance is placed behind glass, it may result in shortening the operating distance of a remote control (according to the color and strength of the glass). The keys on the remote control have the same function as the keys on the front panel of the device.

The remote control is equipped with features for the amplifier and the CD player:

Amplifier / Preamplifier features

• ON / OFF – Turning on and off the amplifier.
• DIMM – Sets the display brightness in steps.
• ◄IN – Input selector.
• IN► – Input selector.
• – VOLUME + – Volume control keys.
• MUTE – Instant muting of the volume.

CD Player features

• ON / OFF – Turning on and off the CD Player.
• DIMM – Sets the display brightness in steps.
• |<< BACKWARD – One short press jumps to the beginning of a track. If playback time lasts longer than 5 seconds, further pressing results in jumping one track back. When pressed for a longer time playback moves smoothly backwards.

• | FORWARD – A short press skips one track forward, when pressed for a longer time, playback moves smoothly forward.

• ►ǁ – Resumes and pauses CD playback.
• ■ – Ceases CD playback.
• INPUT – Input selector.
• REPEAT – Allows you to cyclically opt for single-track repeat, entire disc repeat, or disable repeat.

FRONT PANEL
Contains a button with an additional function unlike the remote control:

• FILTER – Pressing this button shows the actual digital filter being used by converters. You can change the filter by pressing the button again, otherwise actual filter remains active. The filter has two states, Natural and Dynamic and each of them affects the resulting sound performance that a listener can adjust to their requirements.

BACK PANEL

• POWER – Mains power inlet / mains switch with mains fuse.
• INPUT – 3 x Digital Input—1 x Coaxial, 1 x Optical, 1 x USB.
• OUTPUT – Analog XLR Balanced Output and Unbalanced RCA, 2 x Digital Output—1 x Coaxial, 1 x Optical

BASIC FUNCTION OF REPRODUCTION

Connect the power cord to the CD 1.10. Turn on the player with the main Power Main switch, which is located on the back panel. When you turn on the switch, the player is set into stand-by mode and the red LED on the front panel is on. After pressing the Power button (on the front panel or the remote control), the red LED flashes, and a controlled turning-on sequence gets initiated, which consists of preheating the tubes, thereby extending their life span. The cooling cycle is also being carried out when the appliance is turned off, if the main switch on the back panel is not turned off, i.e. after turning off via the button on the front panel, or remote control, and a 45-second countdown to cooling without indication begins. If we turn on the appliance at this time, the cooling will continue and will be indicated by a flashing red LED. When the cooling cycle is over the main toroidal transformer gets connected (the CANOR logo lights up), and then the slow start-up of voltage provided by the slow heating of tubes begins. The cycle lasts 45 seconds, then the red LED stops flashing, and an output relay connects the signal to output gold-plated Teflon RCA connectors as well as to XLR connectors with balanced output. If there is a CD in the CD drive, the device attempts to load the disc and the display shows “CD” and then “Reading” with the number of tracks and their total length. If a CD is not loaded, the display shows “No Disc”. During this period when a disc is being loaded, it is not possible to change the brightness of the display via the DIMMER button. The brightness can only be changed once the content of the CD is loaded.

CD TRAY OPENING AND COMPACT DISC INSERTION

Press the OPEN button, the display lights up the “Opening” indicator. The tray disengages itself and the Insert CD instruction is being shown on the display. Make sure the tray is opened completely. Grab a compact disc for the outer edges and insert it into the tray with a label on the top. Do not touch the surface with the data record (the surface is reflective). Twelve-centimeter discs are inserted into the outer ring, and eight-centimeter discs into the inner ring. Press the OPEN button again, the tray plugs in and the display shows “Closing” and subsequently “Reading”. If the CD 1.10 finds a compact disc in the drive, it loads its data, the total number of tracks, and the total disc time and shows them on the display. The tray plugs in even after pressing the PLAY button or after a mechanical push on the tray in the direction of insertion.

PLAYBACK INTERRUPTION
Playback can be interrupted for a short time by pressing the PLAY button. After repeated pressing of this button the playback resumes.

PLAYBACK TERMINATION
Press the STOP button to terminate the playback.

MANUAL SEARCH
Using a longer press on buttons (<<, >>) on the front panel of the appliance (or (|<<, >>|) buttons on the remote control) it is possible to search an arbitrary position within a track. This search operation is only possible during playback (during the action, the playback will be distorted).

REPEAT
Each time you press the REPEAT button, you cyclically select between the following: disabled repeat / single-track repeat / entire disc repeat.

INPUT SELECTION
You can select the input signal by repeatedly pressing the INPUT button on the front panel, or by pressing the INPUT key on the remote control. After turning it on it is always in the following order: 1. CD, 2. COAXIAL, 3. OPTICAL, 4. USB.

DIGITAL OUTPUTS
It allows you to connect external converters when playing CDs. External converters transmit digital SPDIF signal at default resolution of a CD simultaneously on COAXIAL output for RCA connector, and OPTICAL output for TOSLINK connector located on the CD 1.10 back panel.

DIGITAL INPUTS

• COAXIAL and OPTICAL – By selecting these inputs we can conduct digital SPDIF signals from other devices to the inputs on the CD1.10 back panel which we connect either by coaxial or optical cable. These inputs can process a 24-bit PCM signal with a 192 kHz sampling rate.
• USB – By selecting this input, it is possible to connect CD 1.10 to a PC as a USB Audio Class 2.0 soundcard.
