Important Safety Precautions
•Use only an approved power cable and plug or distribution board to connect your
player to a power outlet. Do not use an extension cable.
•Never touch the mains plug if your hands are wet.
•Do not attempt to open the equipment. The invisible laser beam in this compact disc
player is harmful to the eyes. Refer servicing and repair to qualified service
personnel. Touching live components inside the case can result in a fatal electrical
shock!
•Read the Owner's Manual and Safety Precautions before operating the equipment.
•Keep this Manual in a safe place so that you can refer to it later.
•Please heed all warnings on the equipment itself and in the Owner's Manual.
•Please follow the instructions contained in your Owner's manual and never use this
equipment for any purpose other than is explained in this Owner's Manual.
•Only connect this equipment to a power source of the type described in the Owner's
Manual and specified for this equipment.
•Make sure that there is adequate ventilation around the equipment to allow proper
cooling. Keep the equipment away from direct sunlight. Avoid installing the unit
close to sources of heat or in spaces such as bookshelves or cupboards where heat
radiation may be obstructed. Avoid excessive temperatures in the room, as these
could ultimately damage sensitive components and reduce the service life of your

department.
•Never remove the earth connection from the plug. It is there to ensure your safety.
•Arrange the power cable so that no one can accidentally stand on it. Avoid locating it
under objects that might put pressure on the cable. Pay particular attention to areas
where the cable exits from plugs, AC outlets and from the unit itself.
•Never operate the unit without being present. Disconnect the plug from the wall
outlet and remove all aerial connections (including cable aerials) when: you clean
the unit, you do not expect to use the unit for long periods of time, during an
electrical storm.
•If you have an external antenna or cable antenna connected to your hi-fi system, we
recommend that you use a signal isolating filter to avoid interference or damage
during thunderstorms.
•Problems: If you lose the sound while the player is operating, or if you notice smoke
or burning, switch the unit off immediately and contact your dealer or our service
department.
•Only replace defective fuses after you have traced and removed the cause of the
fault and then only with a fuse of the same rating. Remove the mains plug before
changing fuses. Use an insulated screwdriver to remove and replace the fuse.

820S Super Audio CD Player
•Place your SACD player on a stable support and use a spirit level to make sure
it is perfectly level. We recommend the use of a solidly constructed hi-fi rack
with adjustable shelves. In our experience, you will achieve good results with
racks using MDF shelves. Glass, metal or stone are less suitable for use as hi-fi
equipment supports. Avoid placing the player close to loudspeakers or any
other source of vibration. The 820S will respond to these measures by
performing at its best. Never stack the 820S directly on other items of
equipment. Vibrations from mains transformers and electromagnetic
interference from other components can have a negative impact on the
player's sound quality. Please do not place the outboard power supply next
to the SACD player, but at a reasonable distance - close to the power
distribution board is ideal. 800 series products are not suitable for installation
in enclosures such as 19” racks or cabinets. The on/off switch at the rear of
the unit must always be accessible.
•Take some time to organize your cabling. Try to keep power cables away
from interconnect and speaker cables. Shielded power cords can significantly
reduce the transfer of interference to your signal cables. The SUB-D cable
(special 15-pin cable) provided is intended to link the outboard power supply
with the SACD player. Never connect the SACD player and/or the ANALOG
POWER SUPPLY to a computer or computer peripheral, as it will damage
these components.
•Make sure that the polarity of the mains wiring is the same for all system
components. You can achieve this by connecting all system components
through a single high quality mains distribution board. The lower the
contact resistance between the power outlets of your signal source and your
amplifier, the less the audio signal will be polluted and the better your hi-fi
system will sound. Connecting your components with the correct mains
polarity is particularly important. Use a phase tester to determine which pole
is life. Mark the appropriate side. Connect the marked side of the 820S and
ANALOG POWER SUPPLY power plugs to the positive conductor of your
power outlet/distribution board.
•Cleaning and maintenance: To clean your CD player, use a soft cloth. Use a
proprietary glass cleaner to remove stubborn dirt from the front panel. Do
not use water! Never use solvents or white spirit. These will cause irreparable
damage to the surface of the unit.

820S Super Audio CD Player
Analog output
The D 820S has both balanced (XLR) and unbalanced (RCA) analog outputs.
Connect these to the appropriate inputs on your amplifier.
When inserting the cables, check that the plugs fit tightly in their sockets! Poorly
fitting phono plugs can detract considerably from the sound quality of your
system. Use gold-plated plugs whenever possible, as these have the lowest
contact resistance.
Digital output
The digital outputs carry a standard S/P DIF or AES/EBU 16-bit, 44.1 kHz signal for
connecting to an external DAC digital clock signal processor. An RCA phono
socket is provided for the coaxial S/P DIF output and an XLR socket for the
AES/EBU output. The digital output works only in CD mode.
XLR pin connections:
Pin 3: Signal -
Pin 1: Ground
Pin 2: Signal +
To ensure correct operation, use only high quality digital cable of appropriate
impedance (RCA = 75 ohm, XLR = 110 ohm).
Digital inputs
The digital inputs accept standard S/P DIF and AES/EBU signals. Only audio data
is recognized. Encoded formats such as Dolby Digital cannot be processed! The
digital inputs are for connecting external digital sources (DAT/DVB/MD/PC etc.).
They will handle signals up to and including 192kHz/24bit. RCA phono sockets
are provided for the coaxial S/P DIF inputs and an XLR socket for the AES/EBU
input.
XLR pin connections:
Pin 3: Signal -
Pin1: Ground
Pin 2: Signal +
To ensure correct operation, use only high quality digital cable of appropriate
impedance (RCA = 75 ohm, XLR = 110 ohm). Unsuitable cables can cause
problems, particularly with sample rates above 48 kHz, where the input may not
lock onto the digital signal.
10

820S Super Audio CD Player
Power connection
The power inlet is designed to take a removable IEC cable. We recommend you
use a high quality audiophile power cable. Your dealer will be able to advise you!
Power (on/off) switch
The on/off switch disconnects the 820S fully from the AC mains supply.
Input for 800 analog power supply
The 15-pin SUB-D connector for the analog supply voltage is for connecting the
800 ANALOG POWER SUPPLY only. Connect both units together first and only
then connect the power cable to the AC mains supply.
SYSCOM
This connection lets you network several 800 series products so that you can
control the switching and display operation of several components from a single
controller. To take advantage of this feature you need an appropriate power
amplifier or preamplifier. You should switch off all system components before
changing SYSCOM cables. Use only the SYSCOM cables supplied. Do not use any
other type of cable, as this could damage your equipment! If you need longer
SYSCOM cables, please contact Lindemann audiotechnik directly (see back page
for contact details) or your dealer. You will find a detailed description of all Link
Mode functions in the Link Mode section.
