INTRODUCTION  
The Hafler IRIS system is  
of audio technology. The IRIS CD completes an intensive  
engineering effort to create series of components which  
a
major step forward in the world  
a
offer superior performance combined with the unprece-  
dented convenience of the IRIS remote control.  
The basic operation and features of the IRIS CD Player are  
described in simplified form in figures  
1
and 2. Although  
operation of the CD Player is possible by studying these  
diagrams only, complete appreciation of its features and  
operating modes can only be realized by thoroughly read-  
ing this owner’s manual.  
We have tried to present this information in an easy to  
follow format. We urge you to take the time to read through  
this manual as soon as possible.  
INSTALLATION  
SET-UP OF THE IRIS CD PLAYER  
FREE STANDING  
Always set the player horizontally on a flat, firm surface.  
Allow  
a
minimum space of  
a
least 14" above the player so  
as not to interfere with the cooling of the player.  
STACKED  
Locate the player preferably at the bottom. Never set the  
player directly on top of a high-power amplifier, because  
such an amplifier gives off  
a
substantial amount of heat.  
RACK MOUNTING  
The IRIS CD Player is shipped with removable end caps  
on its front panel. Optional rack mounting ears are avail-  
able from the factory for mounting the unit in  
19” equipment rack.  
a
standard  
1
WARNING- Never allow the player to stand for long  
periods in direct sunlight or near any heat source.  
CONNECTIONS  
REMOTE CONTROL  
The IRIS CD has two recessed male connectors on the  
back panel.  
They are internally connected together to  
allow the IRIS digital data-bus to “daisy-chain” to other  
IRIS-compatible accessories.  
Connect either end of the supplied ribbon-type umbilical  
cable to either of the CD’s connectors. Note that both of  
the cable’s connectors are keyed, and therefore fit only one  
way. Be sure to insert the plugs fully. Connect the free  
end of the cable to the connector on the rear of (either) the  
IRIS Preamp or IRIS Tuner.  
AUDIO  
Output Right/Left: For the signal output to the preamplifier.  
Connect a standard RCA-type patch cord from the right  
and left outputs into the corresponding CD input jacks of  
your IRIS preamplifier.  
Digital: For digital output signal to an outboard Digital to  
Analog (A/D) converter.  
POWER  
For AC line (mains) power. Make sure the line voltage on  
the rear of the unit is appropriate for your location.

IRIS REMOTE CONTROL  
TRANSMITTER  
You should re-read the remote section of the IRIS  
PREAMPLIFIER manual in conjunction with the following  
additional  
information.  
HANDSHAKE SYSTEM  
The umbilical connection established allows a very con-  
venient “HANDSHAKE” operation between IRIS SYSTEM  
COMPONENTS. In simple terms, your IRIS CD Player  
tells your IRIS Preamplifier that it is connected and  
powered. This tells the Preamplifier, when CD is selected,  
to automatically “transfer” the remote’s top eight (multi-  
legend) keys to perform CD command functions.  
All of the KEY functions of the CD Player panel which are  
convenient from remote operation are available from the

CLEAR KEY  
The CLR (CLeaR) key on the remote transmitter causes  
the CD Player to stop and allows selection of another input  
source to the IRIS Preamp within 3 seconds. If another  
source is not selected within three seconds, the remote’s  
key functions will remain in CD mode. If you wish to select  
another source but keep the CD Player operational:  
Press the HOLD key (prior to the CLR key).

RECORD SECURITY  
As explained in the “remote” section of the IRIS  
Preamplifier Manual, if RECORD SECURITY is in effect  
(either RECORD switch is IN on the IRIS Preamplifier), the  
CD or Tuner will refuse all IRIS remote commands, includ-  
ing CLR. (Volume and Balance are always active.) The  
Preamplifier’s red MUTE legend will remind you of this by  
its  
distinctive  
interrupted-flashing  
mode.  
THE INDICATIONS OF THE DISPLAY  
(Refer to Figure 2)  
Each Compact Disc has, along with the music, a list of  
contents detailing the numbers of the tracks, the playing  
time of each track and the total playing time of the disc.  
The player always scans this first and stores it in memory  
to provide information via the display.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION  
CARE OF THE DISCS  
Although both sides of a disc are protected by a special  
coating, it is still advisable to treat the discs with care:  
Never leave discs lying around: put them back in their  
holders immediately after use. Never write on the printed  
side! Do not attach any stickers on that side. Keep the  
shiny surface of the disc clean. Use a soft lint-free cloth  
and always wipe the disc in  
a
straight line from center to

Warning: Cleaning agents for conventional vinyl records  
are not suitable for cleaning a Compact Disc, nor may  
detergents or abrasive cleaning agents be used.  
PLAYER MAINTENANCE  
When cleaning the player and face-plate, we advise  
a
soft  
cotton cloth with a non-abrasive cleaner that is safe for  
Lexan and painted surfaces.  
DO NOT use paper towels or any course material to clean  
the face-plate as these materials may scratch the insert.  
The disc tray should be kept free of dust with  
a
dry cloth.

SYMPTOMS AND THEIR LIKELY CAUSES  
Insufficient familiarity with the combination of a new  
product and new discs may lead to faults arising during  
use. These are generally caused by a simple error in  
operation or external factors.  
It is perhaps useful to check the points listed below and  
where possible remedy these before taking your player for  
repair.  
-
Condensation has formed on the lens of the laser  
due to dramatic change in temperature. This will  
disappear automatically after some time.  
There is foreign object in the disc tray.  
The disc has not been inserted with the printed  
side up or there is no disc in the tray.  
a
-
-
a
-
-
The disc is dirty, badly scratched or warped.  
The player has been connected to the PHONO  
jacks of the preamplifier.  
If the fault remains, try to clear it by switching the player off  
and on. If this also fails to help, do not continue ex-  
perimenting, but remove the plug from the socket and  
consult your dealer.  
Under no circumstances should you repair the player  
yourself: this action will void the warranty!
