Proceed PDP - Manual (Page 9)

■ The Proceed PDP 3 provides balanced analog output by way of
standard three-pin XLR-type connectors. This provides the
highest quality connection and, therefore, the best sound.
Terminated with the proper connector, balanced input on an
amplifier or power amplifier minimizes the chance of
“coloration” of the sound due to cabling. If you’re unfamiliar
with balanced interconnection and how it works with your
audio system, see your Proceed dealer for more information.
For instructions on connecting digital sources to the Proceed PDP 3,
see step 6.
For instructions on connecting the Proceed PDP 3’s balanced or
unbalanced analog outputs to your audio system, see step 7.
For instructions on connecting the Proceed PDP 3’s digital outputs
to your audio system, see step 8.
6. Using a high-quality audio cable, connect the digital output of a
digital audio component (such as a digital FM tuner, compact disc
player, or digital audio tape recorder) to one of the inputs on the
rear panel of the PDP 3.
You may connect up to four digital sources to the PDP 3.
■ source 1 accepts digital audio via a cable equipped with
TOSLINK-type optical connectors.
■ source 2 accepts digital audio via a cable equipped with ST-
type optical connectors.
■ source 3 accepts digital audio via a cable equipped with RCA-
type connectors.
■ source 4 input accepts AES/EBU digital audio via a cable
equipped with XLR-type connectors.
7. Using a pair of high-quality audio cables, connect the PDP 3's line
out left and line out right to left and right line-level inputs of your
receiver, integrated amplifier, or preamplifier. Make sure to
connect the left output of the PDP 3 to the left input of the
receiver, integrated amplifier, or preamplifier, and likewise for the
right channel.
NEVER connect the PDP 3’s balanced or unbalanced outputs to
PHONO inputs.
8. Using a high-quality audio cable, connect the digital output of the
PDP 3 to the digital input of your receiver, integrated amplifier,
preamplifier, or digital processor.
NEVER connect the PDP 3’s digital output to PHONO inputs.
