KPS-20 BASIC OPERATION
Below are instructions for a quick installation of the KPS-20. Please refer to
the Typical System Setup illustrations on pages 24, 25, and 26. Also, allow the
unit to settle at room temperature before operation is started.
1. Plug the KPS-20 into the standard wall AC receptacle. Connect the KPS-20
output to the appropriate location: KPS-20i to preamp input; KPS-20i/I to
amplifier or crossover input; KPS-20t to D/A processor input. Engage the
power switch on the rear panel by pushing it up to the ON position. This
powers the processor sections in the KPS-20i and KPS-20i/I.
2. Press the Power button on the front panel or on the remote control to power
the transport stages. The display section will now illuminate. The processor
portion of the KPS-20i and KPS-20i/I is on at all times once the rear panel
switch is engaged. This is to insure thermal stability and improve sonic
performance.
3.
Press the Open/Close button on the front panel and the top cover assembly
will open, exposing the CD transport and spindle. Place the compact disc,
label side up, onto the drive spindle. Place the five point custom clamp onto
the drive spindle, securing the CD in place. Make sure the clamp is centered
firmly on the custom CD spindle hub. Press the Open/Close button again or
Play and the cover will close.
NOTE: In the event that you wish to rapidly change a number of CDs, the
KPS-20 can be played with the cover open. Move the switch on the back panel
marked "Manual~Auto" to the "Manual" position..The KPS-20 will now play
with the cover open. However, do not forget that you are compromising the
quality of the music when the CD is exposed to light. Also, it is always
preferable to close the cover when playing music at a high volume in order to
maintain optimum tracking.
4. Press Play on the front panel or remote control. Note: if you pressed Play in
step 3 the disc will already be playing. The disc will start playing from track 1.
To select a ’different track you can press the track forward {> I} or track back
{I <} button until you reach the desired track number or punch the number of
the desired track into the keypad on the front panel or rem’ote control.
5. Press the Stop button to stop play.
