HDD AUDIO PLAYER
HAP-S1
Connecting an amplifier
The HDD AUDIO PLAYER has an internal amplifier, but you can connect an external amplifier as well.
Note
Make sure that the AC power cord (mains lead) of the HDD AUDIO PLAYER is unplugged when
connecting any other cord.
Connect an amplifier to the D/A DIRECT·LINE OUT jacks on the rear panel of the HDD AUDIO PLAYER
using an audio cord (not supplied) as shown in the illustration below.
: D/A DIRECT·LINE OUT jacks of the HDD AUDIO PLAYER
: Audio cord (not supplied)
: Analog input jack of an amplifier
Note
The HDD AUDIO PLAYER is equipped with a built-in antenna for wireless LAN. Make sure to keep a
distance between the HDD AUDIO PLAYER and speakers or other devices to maintain good wireless
communication.
Hint
The D/A DIRECT·LINE OUT jacks directly output analog signals through the D/A converter without using
any internal connectors or signal switchers. This eliminates as many elements that reduce the sound
quality as possible.
You can use the HDD AUDIO PLAYER as a D/A converter by connecting it to an external amplifier.
You can connect a digital audio device to the OPTICAL IN or COAXIAL IN jack of the HDD AUDIO
PLAYER and output the signal from these jacks through the D/A DIRECT·LINE OUT jacks. (The D/A
DIRECT·LINE OUT jacks do not output analog signals input through the LINE IN jacks.)
