Adcom GCD-700 - Manual (Page 5)

FIXED OUTPUT ®
The decoded, analog audio signal is available at this output at a level compatible with most preamplifiers, tuner/preamps, and
receivers. Simply connect one end of the supplied audio cable to the FIXED OUTPUT terminal of the GCD-700, left (L) and
right (R), and the other end to the CD, AUX, or TAPE IN/PLAY input terminals, left (L) and right (R) of the preamplifier or
receiver.
VARIABLE OUTPUT ®
The decoded, analog audio signal is also available at this output, however, the level can be adjusted using the VOLUME control
buttons on the RC-700CD remote control, The VARIABLE output will be most useful when using the CD player to drive an
amplifier directly. It can also be used to drive a second system simultaneously in conjunction with the FIXED output.
Furthermore, it is useful when you want the CD playback level to match those of other sources such as a tuner or cassette deck
which may be considerably different. This can be accomplished by monitoring the different sources and making the necessary
volume adjustments using the RC-700CD remote control.
To use the VARIABLE output, connect one end of a high quality RCA audio cable to the VARIABLE output terminal of the CD
player left (L) and right (R), and the other end to the CD, AUX, TAPE IN/PLAY or main input terminals, left (L) and right (R) of
the preamplifier, tuner/preamp, or amplifier.
NOTE
THE VOLUME CONTROL ON THE RC-700CD REMOTE CONTROL WILL HAVE NO EFFECT ON THE FIXED OR
DIGITAL OUTPUTS OF THE GCD-700.
DIGITAL OUTPUT ©
The digital output from the CD being played is available at this output. This signal is designed to be used with an external
digital-to-analog converter, digital tape recorder, or other component with the necessary digitai conversion circuits built in that
accept the Sony/Phillips Digital Interface Format (S/PDIF) standard.
REMOTE ®
The DIN jack connection is for use with other ADCOM components such as the GFB-800II Music Control Center. It allows the
GCD-700 to be controlled using the remote control transmitter of the main ADCOM controi center or preamplifier by use of a
special cable. Rease consult you local ADCOM dealer for more information.
AC POWER CORD ®
This polarized AC line cord can be connected to the preamplifier’s or receiver’s auxiliary AC oufiet (switched or unswitched) or
directly into a standard wall outlet provided they suppiy a voitage consistent with the voltage requirements printed on the rear
panel of the GCD-700.
NOTE
The GCD-700’s power cord is supplied with a “poiarized” AC piug as required by UL/CSA standards and the Nationai
Electrical Code, To minimize the risk of electrical shock and to ensure minimal hum from the system, do not defeat
the polarity ensuring feature of the plug (one wide blade and one narrow blade). To prevent electrical shock, do not
use this polarized plug with an extension cord or other outlet unless the blades can be fully inserted to prevent blade
exposure.
NOTE
IF PLUGGED INTO A SWITCHED OUTLET WITH ONE OR MORE DISCS LOADED, THE GCD-700 WILL
AUTOMATICALLY START PLAYING A DISC WHEN POWER TO THE SWITCHED OUTLET IS TURNED ON.
