ArtoPlayer 1000
Introduction
Congratulations on your new ArtoPlayer 1000. We think you have made
an excellent choice!
All ARTORA products are designed, engineered and manufactured in
Denmark and thoroughly tested before shipment in order to provide you
with the best in musical satisfaction and lasting value. We have gone to
every length to assure that this CD player will work with very little previous
knowledge of the product so that everybody will be able to enjoy its
musicality right away.
Nonetheless we recommend that you read these instructions carefully, as
there are elements that should be acknowledged before
you start using your new ArtoPlayer 1000.
Unpacking
Carefully lift the ArtoPlayer 1000 out of the box and make sure not to
scratch the surfaces. Please save the packaging in a dry place for future
use. Your ArtoPlayer 1000 is a delicate precision electronic instrument
and should always be properly packed before transportation. Because of
its weight and ne surface nish it is highly probable that the surface will
be damaged if not shipped in its original custom-made packaging.
GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Read instructions
All the safety and operating instructions should be read carefully before
the unit is operated.
Retain instructions
The safety and operating instructions should be retained for future
reference.
Heed warnings
All warnings on the equipment and in the operating instructions should
be adhered to.
Water and moisture
The unit should not be used near water – for example, near a bathtub,
washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry machine, in a wet basement or near a
swimming pool etc.
Heat
The unit should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators,
heat registers, stoves, direct sunlight or other components that produce
heat.
Ventilation
The unit should be situated so that its location or position does not
interfere with its proper ventilation. For example, the unit should not be
situated on a bed, sofa, rug, carpet, or similar surface that may block the
ventilation openings, or placed in a built-in installation such as a book-
case or closed cabinet that may impede the ow of air through the
ventilation openings.
Object and liquid entry
Care should be taken so that objects do not fall, and liquids are not spilt
into the enclosure openings.
Non-use periods
The power cord of the equipment should be unplugged from the mains
outlet when left unused for a longer period of time – for instance through
a vacation period.
Service and repairs
All service and repair work must be performed by a qualied technician,
authorized by ARTORA. The warranty is void, if the unit has been
modied or tampered with.
INSTALLATION and OPERATION
Installation
It is always good practice to do all connecting or disconnecting with the
power switched off. This will prevent unpleasant and loud noises coming
from the loudspeakers and avoid the risk of damage to the equipment.
Rear panel
The rear panel of the ArtoPlayer 1000 has an input socket for the mains
cable and outputs for both analog and digital signals.
Analogue Outputs
The ArtoPlayer 1000 has left and right channel analog outputs via
RCA type connectors. Use these outputs for connection
to an integrated amplier or a preamplier.
Digital Outputs
There are two digital outputs on the ArtoPlayer 1000 – one via a RCA
type connector and the other via a TOSLINK type connector. If you wish
to use the ArtoPlayer 1000 with a separate D/A converter, connect this
to either the RCA socket or the TOSLINK socket. DO NOT connect to
both sockets at the same time, as this could degrade the sound quality.
Power cord
The separate power cord supplied connects to the 2-pin power socket
on the rear panel. Make all connections before tting the mains power
cord.
ON/OFF
Press the ON/OFF button on the back of the ArtoPlayer 1000 to power it
up.
Standby
You will notice that the ARTORA products do not have a standby
function. This is because we constantly strive to make our products as
environment-friendly as possible; and the best way to save on electricity
is to turn off the unit when not in use.
A lot of audio products require a long warm up period in order to perform
their best. This is not the case with ARTORA, since all of our products
have been designed using the latest digital technology – and they all
sound great, even when just turned on.
Mains Voltage
The correct AC mains voltage is printed on the label situated on
the bottom of the unit. Make sure your AC mains voltage is correct
before connecting the unit. The ArtoPlayer 1000 is factory set for a
specic voltage and will only work with that voltage (±10%).
Three versions of the ArtoPlayer 1000 are available:
100V 50/60Hz, 120V 50/60Hz and 230V 50/60Hz.
In case you move to a country that has a different AC supply voltage,
contact your ARTORA dealer, or the authorized distributor, for a
professional conversion to the new supply voltage.
Cables
Use the best available interconnect cables. We cannot emphasize this
enough. As better components and systems are developed, it becomes
increasingly important to avoid the limitations of inferior system intercon-
nections.
‘LESS IS MORE’
The ArtoPlayer 1000 has three hidden switches incorporated in the
words ‘LESS IS MORE’ on top of the cabinet. These three switches/
words control all basic functions of the ArtoPlayer.
Please note that there are a couple of different functions hidden behind
every word and in some cases two words must be pressed simultane-
ously in order to activate the desired function. You’ll get familiar with the
various commands after just a few minutes. All functions can also be
accessed via the optional ArtoRemote (please refer to the section about
the ArtoRemote).
General
If the unit is set to PAUSE, STOP or EJECT this will read in the display for
three seconds at maximum light strength.
Tracks will read 1, 2, 3 and so forth – minutes and seconds will read
1:01 etc. If no disc is present in the slot-drive, the display will read “NO
DISC” whenever the unit is turned on.
