File this owner's manual in a safe place so you don’t misplace it. Save the carton and packing inserts in  
case you ever have to ship or move your C/DP-1000. Find the serial number which is printed on the  
unit’s rear panel and note it here for future reference or in case of casualty loss or theft:  
_________________________  
Placement  
Your C/DP-1000 should be placed on a level and sturdy surface, out of direct sunlight. It should be in a  
well-ventilated area, away from heating ducts or radiators. The area must be free of dust or excessive  
humidity.  
The location should be stable and isolated from speakers or foot steps to minimize vibrations which  
could interfere with the sensitive optical laser and thereby require the error correction circuits to engage  
for other than defects in the CDs themselves. Your unit will simply sound better.  
The unit should not be placed near any component which generates a strong magnetic field, such as a  
power amplifier. Do not place directly on top of an amplifier which may generate excessive heat.  
It is also wise not to place any CD player nearby your tuner or TV since digital circuitry uses very high  
frequency signals which could cause interference with clear broadcast reception, or conversely the  
tuner’s radiations from its local oscillator will pollute the clarity of CD reproduction.  
If you have any doubts about a correct location for your C/DP-1000, call your Parasound dealer for  
further advice.  
 
The ADAM is attached to a plate which replaces the one you just removed.There is a small 4 pin con-  
nector socket on the top of the main printed circuit board of your C/DP-1000, just inside the exposed  
opening of the rear panel. Attach the connector on the wire coming from the ADAM to this connector;  
there is only one direction you can fit the plug onto the socket. Make sure it is firmly connected, but if  
there is resistance, don’t force it! Try the other direction first so you don’t break the connector. Secure  
the ADAM with the two screws. Your C/DP-1000 is now a highly sophisticated CD Transport.

Operating Your C/DP-1000  
Power Switch  
Use this to turn the unit on and off. This control is not duplicated on the remote control handset since  
you will have to load a disc on the player before using it anyway.  
Open/Close  
Press once to open the disc carousel; press again to close. Never interfere with the carousel opening or  
closing or try to force it with your hand. Make sure the carousel is closed before you turn off the power.  
Play/Pause  
Press Play to listen to the disc. Press a second time to pause precisely at any location. Press Play once  
again to resume. During Play or Pause the laser is operating. You can also use the Play button while the  
disc loading tray is open and it will automatically close the tray and commence normal play.  
Track Skip  
These buttons skip tracks each time they are pressed. If you are in the middle of a track, pressing this  
button once will return play to the beginning of that track.  
Disc Skip  
These buttons skip tracks each time they are pressed. If you are in the middle of a track, pressing this  
button once will return play to the beginning of that track.  
Search  
This is a fast review or fast forward cue to assist you in finding a specific segment within a given track.  
Stop  
This disengages the laser operation and stops the disc. Once you’ve pressed Stop, if you press Play  
again the player will have to spin the disc again for a few seconds before Play can resume.

Program  
Programming allows you to select specific tracks or rearrange the entire play sequence. Programming  
must be performed in the STOP mode. To store tracks on a disk, select the track number with the  
number or SKIP buttons on the remote handset. Next, press the PROGRAM button to store the selected  
track. The display will indicate 01 for the first programmed track. The display will then flash 02 until  
you select the next track and press PROGRAM. Repeat this procedure for each of the tracks you want  
to store. A maximum of 20 tracks may be programmed. Once the PLAY/PAUSE button is pressed, the  
tracks will play in programmed order.

Checking, Changing, and Clearing Program  
Each time you press the PROGRAM button, the track number and its program position will appear in  
the display. You can add tracks to the program by pressing PROGRAM for the track you want to add.  
Tracks can be cleared individually by pressing the CLEAR button for the track you want to delete.  
Other Display Functions  
When you first play your C/DP-1000, its display panel will show you if the unit has recognized a play-  
able undamaged CD in its disc compartment. You will hear the machine spin for a moment while it  
studies the data coded onto the disc. If there is no disc present, the display will indicate four zeros.  
Once there is a disc loaded, the system will scan the information on the disc, from beginning to end, and  
will briefly show you how many tracks and the total playing time contained on that disc.  
After displaying the track and playing time information, the unit will stop at track 1 and wait for you to  
press the PLAY button. At the end of the disc, the display will read 0:00 after the unit has stopped.

Caution  
Be patient while loading the disc. Never try to load the disc before the holder has opened fully. Never  
try to close the drawer before you are certain the disc is properly seated in the recess of the holder. If the  
machine tries to withdraw the holder with the disc only partially in place, it may ruin the disc. A disc  
that is warped may interfere with drawer operation. Do not try to play a warped disc.  
Maintaining Your C/DP-1000  
Your C/DP-1000 is made to provide years of faithful service. You should keep it dusted, but never use  
any abrasives, solvents or treated rags which could harm the surface. The acrylic window over the  
function display is quite easy to scratch.  
Try to avoid smoking nearby the player. The residue could easily get into the delicate optical parts.  
The same precautions apply to the remote controller.  
Since dust and dirt can cause problems, never turn off the C/DP-1000 with the disc drawer open.  
Taking Care of Your Compact Discs  
Be careful to handle discs only at their edges. For cleaning there are several CD cleaners available at  
your Parasound dealer. Just remember to wipe gently from inside to out, never in a circular fashion as  
you would an ordinary LP record. Never leave any discs lying around outside of their proper holders.  
In Case of Difficulty  
If you believe your unit is malfunctioning, please refer again to these instructions. It is quite easy to  
confuse some of the programming functions until you become accustomed to them.  
Disc holder won’t close when disc has been inserted:  
-discs are not placed properly in the holder  
-disc is warped  
Disc is inserted, but display does not show number of tracks and playing time:  
-disc was inserted upside down  
-disc is dirty - clean it carefully  
-disc is scratched or defective - try another disc  
-there is condensation on the laser lens - allow to warm up and dry  
Sound skips or mistracks often:  
-player is exposed to excessive vibration - find better location  
Program function will not operate:  
-programming was erased - reprogram the memory  
Hum:  
-a cable connection is loose - press cable plugs in tightly  
-a cable could be defective - try another cable  
One channel not operative:  
-check cable connections  
-try another source at your preamp to confirm problem is with your CD player  
Remote control does not work:  
-batteries in remote control are weak  
-there is an obstruction between the remote control and player  
-you are at too great an angle to player for remote signal to reach it  
-there is no disc loaded in the player  
-player is exposed to bright light which interferes with the remote signal

If you still have difficulty after trying the above, call your Parasound Dealer for further advice. If he  
cannot help you, call Parasound Technical Service during normal West Coast business hours at  
(415) 397-7100. We may be able to suggest some other diagnostic procedures.  
If we determine that the player must be returned for factory service, we will give you specific instruc-  
tions, including a specific Return Authorization number. Pack your unit carefully in both its original  
carton and its styrofoam protection and also an outer overcarton for adequate safety.  
You must mark the Return Authorization number on the outer carton only; units that arrive without  
evidence of adequate packing or without an outer carton or Return Authorization number will be re-  
fused.  
Rewiring For 220 V - 240 V Operation  
Your C/DP-1000 may be rewired for operation abroad. This involves moving a jumper wire on the  
primary side of the power transformer. Please refer this voltage conversion to a qualified electronics  
technician to avoid possible injury or damage to the C/DP-1000.  
With the C/DP wired for 120 V operation, there is a small 1/4" jumper wire labeled J003. To convert  
the C/DP-1000 to 230 V operation, move the jumper so the neutral of the AC is connected to the outer  
winding of the transformer instead of the center pin.
