1. Preface
Dear TRIGON - customer,
Thank you for choosing the CD P ayer RECALL II. This device was manufactured uti izing
the strictest production contro s and the atest precision techno ogy.
Even if you are fami iar with the use of HiFi devices, you shou d study this operation
manua carefu y and confirm your understanding of the instructions, which are contained
therein.
P ease keep this instruction manua , because it can serve as an aid in hand ing your CD
P ayer in the future.
The TRIGON - team wishes you ots of fun with your new CD P ayer.
2. General technical manual
The Recall II is a CD-P ayer, where outstanding tona qua ity meets a design and set
of features that conform to high-end demands.
This is exemp ified by a high-qua ity drive – whose oader is guided by side stain ess-stee
push rods – that ensures that there is no oss of (digita ) musica information from the
start of p ayback onward. The digita signa is then passed on to a state-of-the-art 24-Bit
seria converter with a 192-KHz samp ing frequency from Burr Brown, which converts it
into an ana og signa .
The drive osci ator c ocks the entire digita audio, so that c ock-jitter is kept to a minimum.
The steep ro -off s ope of the output fi ter effective y prevents any a iasing of the p ayback
signa .
The power is supp ied by a specifica y deve oped switched mode power supp y, which
provides the CD-p ayer with a steady f ow of power – even with arge f uctuations in
vo tage - and e iminates the sound a tering effects of e ectricity.
The 2mm strong stee -sheet casing is ined interna y partia y with absorption mats, so that
microphonic effects are kept from the sensitive e ectronics. The TRIGON suspension
absorber feet - whose princip e of operation corresponds to that of a Be evi e washer –
round off a systematic approach to prevent sound distortions through microphonic effects.
The wide range of media in use today doesn’t pose a prob em for the Recall II’s
high-qua ity techno ogy and its audio-optimized drive: The Recall II is ab e to p ay
CD-Rs and CD-RWs. These shou d be of good qua ity, otherwise “dropouts“ may occur
during p ayback.
The Recall II is comp ete y microprocessor contro ed. It is possib e to operate the
p ayer itse f direct y (not a functions) as we as via IR-remote contro (Trigon
Director) . The c ear y aid out disp ay – which can be dimmed and turned off by the
Director - shows the current operating state. The Director can a so turn the CD-
p ayer on and off.

2.1 Safety notices.
TRIGON ELEKTRONIK assumes no iabi ity for damage, which resu t from
inappropriate hand ing and/or disregard for the fo owing safety instructions.
The CD-p ayer may not be p aced c ose to strong heat sources such as heating e ements,
furnaces, high-powered amps, open fires, etc.
The CD-p ayer may not be exposed to strong impacts and vibrations.
The CD-p ayer may not be connected to the power out et immediate after being brought
from a co d environment to a warm one. Condensation cou d damage the device. Wait a
few minutes unti the device is warmed up to room temperature.
The CD-p ayer shou d not be exposed to direct sun ight.
P ease ensure that the device gets sufficient venti ation at its insta ation ocation.
Don’t pour f uid on the CD-p ayer; the inside of the device must remain dry.
Ne er acti ate the de ice without ha ing the protecti e casing in place.
Always remo e the power plug from the socket before opening the de ice.
Never bridge the fuse. P ease rep ace a defective fuse on y with an origina fuse of the
same type and rating.
Never attempt repairs on your own. On y authorized, proper y trained technica personne
may undertake any maintenance and/or repair. Any damage that resu ts from improper
hand ing or unauthorized repair attempts wi void any possib e warranty c aim.
P ease a ways turn off your system’s device before changing and/or attaching cab es.
The RECALL II can operate at a vo tage between 180V and 250V, 230V is the
average. If another vo tage is required, p ease contact your dea er or TRIGON , so that
the device can be retrofitted.

2.2 Set-up Recommendations
After unpacking the unit, examine the device first for possib e transport damage. If you
shou d determine damage has occurred, then immediate y contact your dea er. Next,
examine the contents of the container to ensure a components are present. You shou d
find, addition to the RECALL II, the fo owing:
- Mains cab e TRIGON VOLT
- IR remote contro DIRECTOR
- Operating instructions RECALL II
- Warranty requirement certificate
Set up the device horizonta y in a dry p ace. Ensure good venti ation. Strong magnetic
scattering fie ds, which are caused by output stage transformers and ha ogen ight
transformers, can ead to stray humming effects. Therefore set up the CD P ayer some
distance from such devices. A so, do not ay the cab e connections para e to the ighting
eads.
Stray humming effects are a so produced from f uorescent amps, so keep a minimum
distance of approximate y 1m. Avoid direct sun ight and don’t set up the RECALL II
c ose to strong heat sources.
2.3 Guarantees and Ser ice
The RECALL II is a high-qua ity and sophisticated product. We at TRIGON try to
ensure the demands made of a TRIGON -product are met via numerous qua ity tests
and strict goods contro . If a prob em shou d however occur, then TRIGON
ELEKTRONIK Gmb grants a 3-years warranty. The warranty inc udes the repair
of the defective part as we as any abor charges. This is the imit of iabi ity.
The warranty exc udes any damage which resu ted from inappropriate insta ation,
incorrect operation or repairs through unauthorized specia ist dea ers and private
individua s. Further the warranty is void with disguised seria numbers as we as when
damage occurs as a resu t of accident or transport damages.
3. Start-up
After unpacking the CD P ayers, we recommend you first connect and switch on the device
with e ectricity to the un it on y, without having first connected it to other devices.
After a short switching on phase (the operating disp ay LED [ 5 ] f ashes) you hear a ow
c icking of a re ay. The RECALL II is now ready for use. You shou d now make
yourse f somewhat fami iar with the contro s and the fema e connectors.

[ 11 ] Key MODE
The four different time modes can be se ected with this key. For further information see
number [ 4 ].
[ 12 ] Power switch
The RECALL II can be switched on and/or off with this switch. The mains vo tage is
direct y powered, i.e., the RECALL II doesn’t use any e ectricity when switched off.

3.2 The Connections on the Back
[ 13 ] Power Connector, Power Switch and Power Protection
The enc osed high-qua ity mains cab e Vo t wi be inserted into the socket. P ease pay
attention to the mark (red point) and insert the p ug into the e ectrica out et of mu tiway
connector so that the red mark ines up with the power phase. You can spot the power
phase with the he p of a simp e mains tester. The red mark shou d square to that contact
of the e ectrica out et, where the mains tester ights up. This kind of “outphasing“ improves
the rendition and shou d be uti ized for a components of a system as we .
The power connection is turned on by the togg e switch. If necessary, rep ace the fuse
on y with a fuse of the same va ue. The mains p ug must be pu ed out, before the fuses
are exchanged.
[ 14 and 15 ] Cinch Exit
This output p ug is connected with the input p ug of the rendition amp ifier. These
entrances are usua y designated at the amp ifier with CD, AUX or LINE INPUT.
(P ease take note of the operating instructions of your amp ifier)
[ 16 and 17 ] Symmetrical Exit
This output p ug is connected with a symmetrica input p ug of the rendition amp ifier.
These entrances are usua y designated at the amp ifier with CD, AUX or LINE INPUT.
(P ease take note of the operating instructions of your amp ifier)
If your amp ifier has a symmetrica input p ug, then this entrance is preferred, because
possib e interspersed externa signa s on the cab e connection extinguish themse ves so
again.
[ 18 ] Digital Output
A separate digita -ana ogue transducer can be attached at this BNC socket. P ease make
sure that you attach and adjust the provided HF-termina resistance to this socket, if you
don’t use this exit. This avoids radiating uncontro ed high frequency signa s with this exit,
such as with a radio station, where it is possib e that sensitive high frequency devices ike
your UKW-Tuner or te evision cou d be disturbed.

4. What to do, if...
In this chapter we want to give you a few hints, which wi he p to reso ve sma er prob ems.
4.1 ... nothing works?
Is the power supp y p ug inserted correct y? - Put the power supp y p ugs firm y into the
p ug socket.
Does the mains vo tage rest against the used main p ug socket, or has the home fuse
maybe reacted? – Examine the home fuse.
Did the interna micro fuse burn through? – Return the device back for service.
4.2 ... one hears nothing?
Is the correct entrance at the amp ifier se ected? - Se ect the correct entrance.
Does the RECALL II supp y at a a signa ? – Attach the RECALL II to another
entrance and examine if it functions. If this is the case, something is wrong with the other
entrance of the amp ifier. - Examine the entrance of the preamp ifier.
Was a computer data CD inadvertent y inserted? – Insert an audio CD.
Did the RECALL II read the CD correct y? – If the p ayer cannot read the CD, it tries
to read the data in anyway. If it isn’t successfu , the message “NO disc or 00 0000”appears
in the disp ay. The CD is either defective or bad y scratched and/or dirty. - Use a new CD.

4.3 ... it hums?
Are the connecting cab es tight and firm y put in? – Examine connection eads.
Sometimes mu tip e groundings can cause so-ca ed humming oops. This prob em
requires an experienced technician. We recommend you to contact your specia ist dea er.
... It hums on y, if the tuner, the video recorder, or the te evision is connected to the
preamp ifier. - A these devices are connected with a grounded antenna. Thus it causes a
humming oop again, which can be simp y e iminated, in this case simp y with a fan-jet
fi ter, which is switched into the antenna in et. Such fan-jet fi ters are avai ab e
inexpensive y in radio and te evision specia ity shops.
4.4 ... the remote control doesn’t operate?
Does the remote contro operate in the preamp ifier mode? – Press the key on the
remote contro . The LED wi shine. The remote contro is activated now for the
RECALL II .
Are the batteries dead? - Insert new batteries.
Is there too much distance? - Reduce the distance. The IR remote contro has a imited
range. The IR remote contro wi operate at a distance of up to eight metes with fu y
charged batteries, depending upon exposure to sun ight.
If the receiver probe is exposed to bright sun ight, the range decreases. – Avoid direct
sun ight.
