WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this unit to rain or moisture. Do not use in
damp conditions. Do not place objects containing liquids, drinks or vases for example, on the unit.
Do not open the cabinet. Refer to qualified service personnel only.
WARNING
CLASS 1
LASER
PRODUCT
This appliance is classified
as a CLASS 1 LASER
product. Do not open the
cabinet as the laser beam
used in this appliance is
harmful to eyes.
Mains Supply Voltage: This unit is supplied pre-configured for 220-240 VAC or 110-120 VAC 50/60 Hz. This setting can
only be changed by the manufacturer. Before use, check that the unit’s voltage setting displayed below the IEC mains inlet
matches the mains power supply in your area. Disconnect the mains supply if the unit will not be used for a long period of
time.
Cleaning: Disconnect the unit from the mains supply. Clean the cabinet, front panel and lid with a soft cloth slightly
moistened with a weak detergent solution or clear fluid glass cleaning product. Ensure the unit is fully dry before re-
connecting the mains supply. Do not re-connect the supply with damp hands.
Do not use any abrasive or solvent based cleaning products as these will damage the finish.
Placement: Operate the unit on a flat and level hard surface. To prevent the build-up of heat inside the player, place the
unit in a location with adequate ventilation and do not cover the unit. Do not locate the unit near heat sources such as
radiators or in direct sunlight. Do not move the player with a disc inside. The disc may be damaged.
Condensation: If the unit is moved from a cold location to a warm room, condensation may occur on the laser optics
causing a temporary malfunction. The unit will return to normal operation after a short period of time.

About Discs
Only handle discs by the edge. Do not touch the silver disc surface. If a disc requires cleaning, wipe it with a soft cleaning
cloth moving from the centre outwards. Do not wipe the disc in a circular motion. When not using discs, store them in a case.
Never place the disc on a surface out of it’s case as the disc will be permanently damaged. A disc damaged by marks and
scratches may no longer play. Even if it does play, the audio quality may be degraded.
Red Book Standard
Stream III is a ‘Red Book' standard CD player and as such will play any genuine red-book disc. These discs will normally carry
the Compact Disc logo. Some discs have been manufactured using various forms of copy protection such as Cactus and
the Sony BMG system. These discs, which do not normally carry the registered logo, may produce erratic behaviour when
played in Stream III and have been the subject of much controversy. More information on this subject and listings of corrupt
titles are available on various websites. Even if a copy protected disc does play, the audio quality may be compromised. Try
to avoid purchasing this type of disc wherever possible.
Discs That Cannot Be Played: Stream III is designed to play audio CDs only. CD-R discs optimised for audio use and
some ‘silver’ CD-R discs may also play correctly. Non-silver CD-R discs will not play. The player will play all discs fully
conforming to the Philips red book standard but may not play discs with some types of copy protection.

Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of a Leema Stream III CD player and DAC.
The Leema range of products has been painstakingly engineered in the United Kingdom to offer genuine state-of-the-art
performance.
Partnered with suitable equipment, Leema products will provide audio performance far beyond that of their competitors
and will equal or better the performance of products costing many times their purchase price.
A notable feature of this product is Leema’s latest Quad-DAC converter technology. In the Leema Stream III, this topology
uses four 24bit/192KHz digital-to-analogue converters feeding highly optimised, balanced-input analogue filters. The net
result is a CD player with analogue-like midband and high frequencies having great space and depth without the usual
harshness associated with digital recording formats. The DAC may also be used with external digital inputs.
Purchasers should read and follow this instruction manual, paying particular attention to the user installation and safety
advice section.
This manual has been written to enable you to achieve the very best performance and maximum listening pleasure from
your investment.
We wish you many years of pleasurable listening... Move Your World!
With best regards

Overview

Overview
Stream III is much more than a CD player. It is also a high-performance 24bit/192kHz DAC with multiple inputs and USB
CODEC. Also, by the use of our LIPS interface technology, Stream III may control aspects of the complete audio system. For
example, if a source other than CD is in use, simply selecting play will automatically switch the amplifier to the CD input and
select a default low volume level. Stream III may also be fully controlled by LIPS, enabling wired integration with control
systems such as Procontrol™or Crestron™.

LIPS - Leema Intelligent Protocol System
LIPS is a proprietary communication system which enables Leema audio components to talk to each other. A degree of
intelligence is instilled in each unit allowing the units to make decisions based on user requirements and system
configuration. For example, in a multi-channel system, the components understand which of them are required for normal
stereo material and which are required for multi-channel playback. When the user switches between input formats, the units
respond by powering up or down as required. In this way, the system is made much easier to use and energy is not wasted
powering units that are not required. Stream continues this theme and is able to control other units in the family, allowing the
majority of the system to be hidden away if required, in an air conditioned cupboard for example.
Making a LIPS connection
LIPS cables are directional and have one black end and one red. If Stream III is controlling other units, the black connector
should be plugged in to either LIPS socket on Stream and the red connector plugged in to the first amplifier component, e.g.
Pulse III. If Stream III is to be controlled, the black connector is connected to the master device and the red connector is
plugged in to either LIPS socket on Stream III.

Power Inlet
Ensure that the voltage
indicated is correct for your
area. This will normally
either be 230VAC or
115VAC.
‘LIPS’ bus connectors
These allow communication
between various Leema
system components.
RCA Audio Outputs
Use phono leads to connect
these outputs to conventional
unbalanced amplifier
Inputs.
Rear Panel
DIGITAL Output
Use a dedicated digital phono
lead to connect this output to
an SPDIF digital input.
DIGITAL connectivity
Three inputs to the 24 bit
192kHz DACs are provided,
along with a USB connector
for use with a computer.

Remote
1. POWER - The power button toggles Stream III between On and Standby. If a
LIPS connection is used, the power status of any other Leema components
connected via LIPS will also be controlled.
2. TRAY - The tray button ejects the disc if loaded.
3. INPUT -/+ If the systems includes a Leema amplifier, these buttons are used
to cycle through the available amplifier inputs. If a LIPS connection is used,
the amplifier may be out of sight of the remote, in an air conditioned
cupboard for example. If LIPS is not used, the remote will command the
amplifier using infra-red.
4. VOLUME -/+ The volume level of a Leema amplifier product may be
controlled from the Stream III remote. If a LIPS connection is used, the
amplifier may be out of sight of the remote, in an air conditioned cupboard
for example. If LIPS is not used, the remote will command the amplifier using
infra-red.
5. PLAY - The play button also provides a pause function if the disc is already
running. Tracks may be ‘queued’ by selecting pause and then NEXT/PREV to
queue the required track.
6. STOP - Stops the disc. Pressing stop repeatedly, while the disc is already
stopped, will cycle through the DAC external digital inputs.
