CD-TEXT

A CD-TEXT disc is a new type of music CD that includes, in addition to the music found on a conventional CD, text data containing

the artist’s name, the album name, track names, etc. This text data is recorded in an area that was unused on music CDs.

Accordingly, a CD-TEXT disc can be played on any conventional CD player, but the text data can be viewed only if the disc is played

on a player that supports the CD-TEXT function, such as the PMD330/331/340.

The player determines automatically whether the current disc is a conventional CD or a CD-TEXT disc.

This player can display the album name, track name, the artist’s name, the songwriter’s name, the composer’s name, and the

arranger’s name, as long as that information is recorded on the disc. Not all of this information will be present on every disc.

For details on how CD-TEXT is displayed, refer to the description of operation found later in this guide.

- This player can display 12 characters of text at one time. If the text data is longer than 12 characters, the text will scroll across the

display from right to left.

- Some CD-TEXT discs include the called “highlights”. This CD player does not support the Highlight Scan function to play the

highlights in sequence.

- The following languages can be displayed as CD-TEXT: English, French, Spanish, and German.

CD-RW Disc Playback

In addition to conventional music CDs and CD-R discs, this CD player can also play CD-RW discs.

- In order to play a CD-R or CD-RW disc, the TOC* must be recorded properly.

The process of writing the TOC information to the disc is called “finalizing,” and if this task was not completed properly, the disc

cannot be played back because it will not be recognized properly as a music CD by a regular CD player.

For details, refer to the instruction manual provided with the CD recorder.

- This CD player can only play discs that were recorded in the CD-DA format. Never attempt to “play” a CD-ROM or similar disc

containing computer data.

- When playing a CD-RW disc, it sometimes takes longer to read the TOC compared with a music CD or a CD-R disc.

- This CD player may not be able to play some CD-RW discs properly, depending on the conditions under which the disc was

recorded.

* “TOC” stands for “Table of Contents,” and contains information such as the number of tracks on a disc and the total playback time.

zANALOG OUTPUT

equipped with a RC5 remote control jack, be certain to connect

the “REMOTE CONTROL IN” jack on this unit with the

“REMOTE CONTROL OUT” jack on the other unit.

- When this CD player is connected to a cassette recorder or a

disc recorder (CD-R, CD-RW, etc.), RC5 provides synchro re

cording capabilities. (See also page 15.)

(Analog output jacks)

These are the analog signal output jacks. The red jack is the

right channel audio output, and the white jack is the left chan-

nel audio output jack.

Caution

Do not connect these jacks to the PHONO jacks on an ampli-

fier.

nANALOG BALANCED OUTPUT LEVEL

(Analog balanced output level adjustment)

xDIGITAL OUTPUT (SPDIF)

(PMD331/PMD340 only)

(Digital output jack)

Use a Phillips type screwdriver to adjust the analog balanced

output level. Turn the screwdriver clockwise to increase the

output level, and turn the screwdriver counterclockwise to de-

crease the output level. (Min. level = -11 dBu)

The digital signal from the compact disc that is being played is

output through this jack.

Connect a device with a digital input jack (such as recording

equipment, an amp, or a D/A converter) to this jack through a

RCA cable.

Caution

-Do not use excessive force when turning the screwdriver.

-The output level and channel balance are adjusted when the

unit is shipped from the factory. Do not change these adjust-

ments inadvertently.

Note:

When outputting a digital signal from the PMD331/PMD340,

set “D.OUT” in the Preset menu to “On”.

For details on how to make this setting.

(See also page 17.)

mANALOG BALANCED OUTPUT

(Analog balanced output jacks)

cFADER START

(PMD331/PMD340 only)

(Fader start input jack)

Connect a device with analog balanced inputs to these jacks

through a cable with XLR connectors.

An external switch connected to this jack can be used to con-

trol disc pause and playback.

Note:

(See also page 19.)

When connecting another device to this CD player through

these jacks, confirm that the pin assignments of the XLR con-

nectors match before making the connection.

If the pin assignments are different, change the connections

in the XLR connector cable so that the pin assignments match.

On the PMD331/PMD340, this feature is in the CONTROL I/O

connector ⁄0.

(See also page18.)

vREMOTE INT/EXT

(RC5 remote control internal/external switch)

When using an infrared remote control transmitter to control

this CD player, set this switch to “INT”. When incorporating this

CD player into a system by connecting this CD player (for re-

mote control) to equipment that is equipped with a RC5 com-

patible output, set this switch to “EXT”.
