1 Preface
The Audionet Scientists Team and its leading scholars congratulate you on your
purchase of this unit, sending cheers directly from our research and development
center.
The predecessor model ART G3 is widely considered to be one of the best-
sounding CD players ever made, boasting unique acoustic and design character-
istics that convinced music-lovers around the world. An impressive list of test
victories, distinctions, and awards testifies to the long and triumphant reign of the
ART G3.
Curtain call for the third generation of CD player: the new PLANCK is nothing
less than Audionet’s final statement for reproducing the classical compact disc.
At the same time, it also represents a thoroughbred high-end D/A converter. Its
sound quality can be used via further digital systems, especially computers. This
is possible via optical and electrical digital inputs.
The PLANCK is geared towards the requirements of classical stereophony. Ex-
pert connoisseurs of high-quality musical reproduction will find the product not
only delivers the aural satisfaction they dream of, but even opens up previously
unknown musical realms. Combining craft with precision and presence, PLANCK
fulfils its makers’ vision of pushing back the quality frontiers of classical CD play-
back to rival the standard of advanced high-resolution media. PLANCK is
equipped with the potential to become a further milestone in audiophile acoustic
art.
Even if you’re an experienced aficionado of ultra-highend components, please
start listening to your new Audionet PLANCK by reading this manual carefully
before you plug it in. This will ensure you'll enjoy all functions of this unit without
any compromise or potential disruption.

1.1 Included items
Included you will find the following items:
• The Compact Disc player Audionet PLANCK
• The Audionet Metal Remote Control
• The user's manual (that you are currently reading)
• One low resonance stabilizer made of black POM
• One standard mains cord
• One optical Toslink cable (Audionet Link)
1.2 Transport
Important
• Transport the PLANCK in the included package only.
• Never leave a CD or the stabilizer inside the PLANCK during transport.
The sensitive mechanics of the drive could suffer damage.
• Always use the included bag to prevent scratches on the housing.
• Please allow the PLANCK to adapt to the climatic conditions in your listening
room after the transport. As known for every optical device, low tempera-
tures and humidity may cause the laser unit to be covered with condensation.
Leave the drawer of the PLANCK open for several hours before switching
the device on for the first time after transport.

4 Installation and power supply
Important
• While connecting or removing the PLANCK to or from a pre-amplifier, both
units and the corresponding power amplifiers have to be switched off to pre-
vent damage of the PLANCK or any of the connected units.
• Please make sure that all cables are in absolute best conditions! Broken shields
or short-cut cables could damage the PLANCK and any other connected unit.
4.1 Placement
Important
• It is recommended to place the PLANCK into a high quality rack or onto a
stable table.
• Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight.
• Do not place the PLANCK in close range to heat sources like radiators.
• Do not place the PLANCK on top of other units that produce heat, especially
not on top of power amplifiers, preamplifiers or similar. Both units could suf-
fer damage from thermal overload.
• Do not use the unit in a place where it is exposed to vibrations.
• Do not place the unit close to loudspeakers or in corners of a room where
it is exposed to high levels of sonic energy. This might reduce the sound qual-
ity of the unit.

4.2 Mains connection
The mains input * is located on the back panel of the PLANCK. Use the in-
cluded mains cord to connect the unit to mains. If the use of a different power
cord is preferred, make sure that it meets the electrical specifications and safety
standards for your home country.
Important
• The electrical specifications of your home country must meet the electrical
specifications printed on the back panel.
• The PLANCK is a Class I unit and must be earthed. Please ensure a stable
earth connection. 'PHASE ' ('hot' pin) is marked on the back panel.
• Never pull the mains plug while the PLANCK is switched on! Always power
the unit down to stand-by mode first, before pulling the mains cord from the
mains input on the back panel. Wait at least 3 minutes before re-plugging
the unit to mains.
The PLANCK should only be disconnected from mains in cases of extended ab-
sence (like vacations) or if massive trouble on the mains power is to be expected.
Pull the mains plug to completely disconnect the unit from mains.
4.3 Orientation of mains plug
The correct polarization of mains is important for reasons of audio clarity and
stability. Please connect the mains cord so that the hot pin of the wall outlet is
connected to the pin of mains input marked with 'PHASE' on the back panel
of the unit.
*refer to numbers in section 'Overview back panel' on page 8.
