TIMER PLAY
This unit can perform timer play by cooperating with your audio
timer.
Connect this unit’s power cord to the audio timer’s power socket
and the timer’s power cord to power outlet.
* For connection to audio timer and it’s operation, please refer
to the instruction manual of your audio timer.
Setting method of Timer Play
q Press POWER switch to turn ON the power.
w Insert the disc to be played.
* In timer play mode, tracks are played normally.
e Set the audio timer.
ABOUT BALANCED JACKS
q The balanced output connector uses a XLR connector.
w The XLR connector for professional use is internally wired
in either of the following two systems.
1. USA system (Pin w = COLD, Pin e = HOT)
w q
e
GND
HOT
COLD
2. European system (Pin w = HOT, Pin e = COLD)
w q

e The SA-7S1 uses the 1. USA system.
When a preamp or main amplifier adopting the European
system is connected using a cable with XLR balanced
connectors, the reproduced signal may be inverted of
phase.
In this case, refer to “ANALOG OUTPUT CONNECTOR
PHASE SWITCHING”, and set so that the correct phase
is used.

OPERATION
ANALOG OUTPUT CONNECTOR
PHASE SWITCHING
By digitally processing audio signals read by this unit, it is
possible to perform phase inversion without changing the tone
quality.
Inverted signals are output from the UNBALANCED output
connector, and the BALANCED output connector interchanges
between HOT and COLD signals.
As the USA system has been adopted for the BALANCED
output connector, if the amp or other device used with this unit
is a European system device, a phase inversion cable would
normally need to be used to playback with the correct phase.
However, by pressing the INV. PHASE button on this unit, you
can listen to the correct phase without replacing the cable.
Moreover, if a disc that has been recorded with the incorrect
phase is being played, you can play it in the correct phase by
pressing the INV. PHASE button.
To change the mode
Every time the INV. PHASE button on the front of this unit is
pressed, the phase of the signal being output from the
ANALOG OUTPUTS connector (BALANCED, UNBALANCED)
is inverted. The indicator flashes during inverted playback.

Inverted phase
Caution
•
Phase switching is only possible when the LCD display is
turned on.
• If switching is performed during playback, sound output is
stopped for approximately one second to prevent the
occurrence of unnecessary noise.
• The information after this operation is stored by the last
memory function even after the power is switched OFF.
