suitably

encoded

CDs.The

sonic

performance

of

the

Alpha

9

makes

it

one

of

the

very

best

CD

players

currently

available,

regardless

of

price.

2

For

optimum

sonic

performance,

the

analogue

power

supply

of

the

Alpha

CD

players

is

kept

powered

up

all

the

time

the

unit

is

connected

to

the

mains

supply.

The

front

panel

power

switch

powers

down

all

other

circuitry.

This

means

that

even

though

the

power

switch

is

off,

it

may

be

possible

to

hear

a

slight

residual

hum

coming

from

the

mains

transformer

inside

the

CD

player

This

is

perfectly

normal.

If

the

unit

is

to

be

left

unused

for

an

extended

period,

we

recommend

that

it

is

disconnected

from

the

mains

supply

by

switching

it

off

at

the

wall

socket.

3

This

appliance

is

normally

supplied

with

a

moulded

mains

plug

already

fitted

to

the

lead.

If

for

any

reason

the

plug

needs

to

be

removed,

it

must

be

disposed

of

immediately

and

securely,

as

it

is

a

potential

shock

hazard

when

inserted

into

the

mains

socket.The

unit

is

double

insulated

and

does

not

require

an

earth.

If

the

plug

is

removed

then

the

remaining

lead

must

be

rewired

as

follows:

The

blue

wire

must

be

connected

to

the

terminal

which

is

coloured

blue

or

marked

with

the

letter

N.

4

The

green

and

yellow

wire

must

be

connected

to

the

terminal

which

is

coloured

green

and

yellow,

or

marked

with

the

letter

E

or

the

safety

earth

symbol.

wire

must

be

connected

to

the

terminal

which

is

coloured

brown

or

marked

with

the

letter

L.

For

convenience

and

ease

of

use,

Alpha

CD

players

are

supplied

with

an

infra-red

remote

control

handset.

The

handset

transmits

Philips

RC-5

type

codes.

POSITIONING

Always

place

the

CD

player

or

transport

on

a

level,

firm

surface.

Placing

your

player

on

a

set

of

dedicated

sorbothane

isolation

feet

will

isolate

the

unit

from

its

surroundings

as

well

as

absorbing

the

vibrations

created

within

the

player

itself.

You

will

generally

hear

some

sonic

improvements,

which

makes

this

an

extremely

cost-effective

upgrade.

RADIO

INTERFERENCE

The

Alpha

7SE/8SE/9

CD

players

are

digital

audio

devices

which

have

been

designed

to

very

high

standards

of

electromagnetic

compatibility.

Both

CD

players

and

digital

to

analogue

converters

(DACs)

generate,

and

can

radiate

RF

(radio

frequency)

energy.

In

some

cases,

this

can

cause

interference

with

FM

and

AM

radio

reception.

If

this

is

the

case,

keep

the

CD

player

and

its

connecting

cables

as

far

from

the

tuner

and

its

aerials

as

possible.

Connecting

the

CD

player

and

the

tuner

to

different

mains

sockets

can

also

help

to

reduce

interference.
