When you make connections, be careful to avoid tension on either wires or fiber optic cables which
might cause damage to the cormectors or cause them to pull loose later on. Do not attempt to bend
either coaxial or optical digital cables at a sharp angle, as this may permanently damage them. It is
safest to turn ofT the power of your preamp and power amp while making connections, not only
for the connections you are making, but to avoid the chance of disturbing adjacent connections. As
an additional safeguard, turn your preamp's volume control to minimum before making new
cormections.

. Coaxial output connections are provided on most high quality CD players. You should use
only a good quality cable which has been designed for digital data transmission. Cables designed
for audio frequencies are not suitable and will not give you satisfactory results.
. TOSlink fiber optic connections are also popular and are found on most high quality video
laser disc players as well as CD players and CD transports. Your dealer can assist you to select an
appropriate optical cable with TOSlink connectors. According to the TOSlink standard, you are
restricted to TOSlink cable lengths from 0.2m (A<8") to 10m (-30').
. 81 module fiber optics are considered state-of-the-art. They are superior to either coaxial or
TO5link connectors for data transmission. The 5T module employs the AT&T standard; both
plastic and glass fiber optic connectors are available for 5T modules connectors.
You should experiment among the connector options to detennine which sounds the best in your
system. You may find careful extended listening required in order to hear the subtle differences
between the different interface technologies accomodated by-the D/AC-IOOO.
It is possible to connect three separate digital sources to your D/ AC-l 000 and select among them
from the front panel, however RF radiations from the unused digital inputs may "contaminate" the
sound of the selected input source. If you have more than one digital source connected, make sure
you turn off the power of the unused source(s) until you are ready to listen to it.
Outputs
Connect the Analog Output jacks to any line-level input on your preamplifier or even your
power amplifier if it is equipped with level controls. Use only high quality hookups to preserve
detail and clarity. Make sure your preamp is either turned off or its volume set to minimum when
making these connections.
If you have a digital recorder (DAT, MD, DCC, CD-R), you may connect its record input to the
D/AC-IOOO's Digital Output Record jack. This is an RCA type connector; use only digital
quality cable.
