where the symbol at left is shown.  
A Brief History of Wadia  
Wadia was originally founded in 1988, making it the first high-end audio  
company dedicated to digital audio reproduction. Wadia was formed  
by a group of telecommunications engineers from 3M Corporation  
who were committed to using advanced digital technology to improve  
the performance of digital audio equipment.  
Wadia’s first product, the Wadia 2000 Decoding Computer, was a  
breakthrough in that it proved the viability of the Compact Disc as a  
musically involving format. Wadia has continued to develop new  
methods and technology and each successive product has resulted in  
a new standard of performance for digital audio decoding. Here is an  
abbreviated list of the technological innovations Wadia engineers  
pioneered:  
Patented DigiMaster™ up-sampling algorithm, optimized for  
extracting maximum musical information from digital-audio data  
stream.  
First company to apply high bandwidth glass fiber optics to home  
audio.  
Direct-Connect™ system to connect digital audio products directly  
to an amplifier.  
ClockLink™ proprietary jitter-reduction technology.  
Swift-Current™ zero-feedback current to voltage converter.  
4
Wadia’s digital expertise and record of accomplishment exceed those  
of any audio company, but technology alone does not guarantee  
musical performance. Wadia designs are born of a delicate balance  
of technology shaped by a passion for music.  
Wadia is proud to introduce the Wadia 302 CD Player, a breakthrough  
in sonic performance and value, and a strong evidence of our  
dedication to music reproduction.  
Wadia 302 CD Design Philosophy  
The Wadia 302 Compact Disc player is the first of Wadia’s new 3 –  
series, a range of products that set a new standard for performance,  
aesthetics, and value. The Wadia 302 CD Player has received the  
benefit of over 13 years and thousands of hours of development that  
have resulted in the Wadia legacy. Viewed this way, the Wadia 302 CD  
Player is one of the most outstanding values in the world of high-end  
music reproduction.  
Wadia Digital Volume Control with Direct-Connect™  
The Digital Volume Control and Direct-Connect circuitry perform the  
functions of a preamplifier while the signal is in the digital domain. This  
allows the Wadia 302 CD Player to be connected directly to your  
power amplifier, bypassing the losses inherent in conventional  
preamplifiers. New in the Wadia 302 CD Player is the ability to optimize  
the output level to match your system by setting switches on the Wadia  
302 CD Player rear panel.  
DigiMaster™ Upsampling System  
Wadia’s DigiMaster is a patented digital upsampling system designed  
to extract maximum musical realism and detail from digital audio. In  
the Wadia 302 CD Player, Wadia introduces the latest version of  
DigiMaster, with the best cost/performance ratio of any DigiMaster  
system to date. In addition, this new version of DigiMaster accepts  
96kHz signals and upsamples incoming signals to 705.6 kHz or 768 kHz.  
5
Swift Current I-V Converter  
The Wadia 302 CD Player is the first Compact Disc player in this price  
range to use Wadia’s patented Swift Current technology. This  
proprietary, custom-fabricated integrated circuit performs the sonically  
critical current-to-voltage conversion with no global negative  
feedback, resulting in demonstrably superior sound quality.  
The Music Comes First  
As with all Wadia products, the Wadia 302 CD Player is the result of a  
design philosophy that bridges the gap between the traditional  
engineering and empirical approach to audio design. That is, Wadia  
engineers are guided equally by advanced measurement techniques  
and extensive listening during the development process. The result is  
performance that exceeds the expectations of even the most  
demanding listener.

Installation _____________________  
This section includes information on how to unpack and position your  
Wadia 302 CD Player.  
Unpacking  
After carefully unpacking your Wadia 302 CD Player, inspect for any  
shipping damage and call your dealer immediately if any is found. Do  
not plug your Wadia 302 CD Player into any outlet if you find shipping  
damage.  
Please save all packing materials so the unit can be easily and safely  
shipped if the need arises.  
The Accessory Kit  
Included in the carton, you will find an accessory kit that contains the  
following:  
AC power cord  
Remote Control  
Two type-AA batteries  
Three cone feet and flat metal discs  
One 75 Ohm BNC-to-RCA adapter  
Installing Batteries In Remote Control  
The Wadia 302 CD Player remote control requires two batteries, which  
you will find in the accessory kit. To install the batteries, unscrew the  
battery cover on the back of the remote. Insert the batteries as  
indicated on the battery holders, and replace the cover.  
7
Installing Cone Feet  
The Wadia 302 CD Player is equipped with three cone feet that screw  
into inserts in the bottom panel. These feet will improve performance by  
reducing vibration. If the Wadia 302 CD Player is sitting on a shelf that  
can be damaged by the sharp feet, place the steel discs under each  
foot to protect the shelf surface.  
Choosing a Location for the Wadia 302 CD Player  
The sound quality of all high-performance digital and analog  
components can be degraded by vibration. Although the Wadia 302  
CD Player uses some of the most advanced noise-reduction circuitry  
available, it too will benefit from any efforts taken to reduce vibration.  
For best performance, place the Wadia 302 CD Player on a solid, non-  
resonant shelf that will minimize vibration.

Avoid allowing static shocks to be applied to the inputs or outputs. To  
prevent static shocks, touch any grounded surface, such as the chassis  
of a component that is plugged into an AC socket, before connecting  
or removing a cable. It is unlikely that a static shock will damage the  
unit, but it may cause the Wadia 302 CD Player circuitry to lock-up (see  
Trouble Shooting in Appendices).  
Inputs and outputs can be safely connected to the Wadia 302 CD  
Player:  
When the AC power is switched off OR  
When the unit is in Relay-Mute mode (See Mute in Operation)  
9
Connecting to AC Power  
Check to make sure your Wadia 302 CD Player has been  
manufactured for operation at your AC line voltage. Attempting to use  
your Wadia 302 CD Player at any voltage other than that specified on  
the rear of the unit may cause damage that is not covered by Wadia’s  
warranty.  
Using AC Line Conditioners  
Of the wide range of power line conditioners currently available, some  
can provide substantial improvement in sound while others actually  
degrade sonic performance. Use caution in selecting a power line  
conditioner for your system. In particular, avoid using inexpensive “surge  
protectors”. Although these can prevent damage from high voltage  
spikes, they often degrade performance.  
Leaving the AC power on  
The Wadia 302 CD Player is designed to be able to have the AC power  
on with no harm or wear to the unit. To reduce wear and power  
consumption, all motors and laser circuitry turn off when the unit stops  
playing. Leaving the power on allows the circuitry to remain at a  
constant operating temperature, providing better performance and  
longer life. However, there is always a slight increase in risk of fire or  
damage to any electrical component when the power is left on. We  
leave the decision to leave the Wadia 302 CD Player powered to the  
individual owner.  
Break-in and warm-up  
Careful listeners will notice that the sound of the Wadia 302 CD Player  
improves steadily after the unit is powered-up. A new unit will undergo  
more dramatic changes when power is applied for the first time.  
Depending on the resolution of the system and the attentiveness of the  
listener, you may find that the sound continues to improve over the first  
several weeks of operation. If the power is disconnected for a period of  
an hour or more, the unit will undergo similar but less dramatic break-in.  
10  
Questions about Connecting the Wadia 302 CD Player  
To help you decide the best way to connect the Wadia 302 CD Player  
to your system, read the following list of question asked by Wadia  
owners:  
Direct-Connect™ or Pre-Amplifier?  
The Wadia 302 CD Player is designed to produce excellent  
performance in systems with or without preamplifiers. However, in many  
systems a preamplifier is unnecessary when using your Wadia 302 CD  
Player. The Direct Connect technology incorporated into the Wadia  
302 CD Player provides all the necessary control functions of a  
preamplifier while the signal is still in the digital domain. This avoids the  
sonic degradation caused by analog circuitry, switches, and wire. The  
Direct-Connect output stage can drive any power amplifier and any  
interconnects, even very long lengths. Many listeners are surprised by  
the improvement in performance compared to even the most  
expensive preamplifiers. Even if you purchased your Wadia 302 CD  
Player with the intention of connecting it through a preamplifier, we  
suggest that you experiment with direct connection to your amplifier.  
Does Direct-Connect™ compromise performance with a preamplifier?  
Although we encourage listeners to bypass their preamplifier, the  
Wadia 302 CD Player is not compromised in any way when used with a  
preamplifier. The Wadia 302 CD Player performs all preamplifier  
functions such as input selection and volume control in the digital  
domain. As a result, there is no circuitry associated with Direct-Connect  
that affects the audio performance. The Wadia 302 CD Player offers  
uncompromised performance in systems with and without  
preamplifiers.  
How should I connect Analog Sources?  
To use analog sources in a system using Wadia’s Direct Connect  
system, Wadia has introduced the Wadia 130 and 150 Analog-to-  
Digital converters. Now it is possible to use analog sources, such as a  
tuner, tape deck, or even a turntable (in conjunction with a suitable  
phono stage) in your system without using a conventional analog  
preamplifier. Consult your dealer for more information on the Wadia  
Analog-to-Digital products.  
11  
Bypassing the Wadia Digital Volume Control  
Unlike conventional volume controls, there is absolutely no circuitry in  
the analog signal path of the Wadia Digital Volume Control -- no  
passive parts, switch contacts, resistors, or even circuit board traces.  
The Wadia Digital Volume Control operates in the digital domain; it  
comprises one computer-programming step in the Wadia’s digital filter  
algorithm.  
If you are connecting the Wadia 302 CD Player to a preamplifier or  
amplifier with volume control integrated, you can set the Wadia 302  
CD Player volume control to the maximum level (99) and achieve full  
resolution.  
Connecting Directly to an Amplifier  
To connect your Wadia 302 CD Player to a power amplifier, ensure that  
your power amplifier is turned off, and then connect your analog  
interconnects from the Wadia 302 CD Player balanced or unbalanced  
analog outputs to the amplifier’s inputs.  
Connecting to a Preamplifier  
To connect the Wadia 302 CD Player, simply connect the balanced or  
unbalanced analog outputs from the Wadia 302 CD Player to a pair of  
line-level inputs on the preamplifier.  
When using a preamplifier, turn the Wadia 302 CD Player volume  
control to its maximum volume (99).  
12  
Adjusting the Maximum Output Voltage  
The Maximum Output Voltage is the output voltage when the volume  
control is set to maximum setting (99). The Maximum Output Voltage is  
factory set to 4.0 V on the balanced output and 2.0 V on the  
unbalanced output. You can adjust the Maximum Output Voltage on  
the Wadia 302 CD Player to match your system by setting the two small  
switches on the rear panel as shown in the table below.

*Factory setting  
The Maximum Output Level is factory set to match the majority of  
audio systems. However, you may want to adjust the Maximum Output  
Voltage under two circumstances.  
First, if you are connecting the Wadia 302 CD Player to a preamplifier,  
you may find that other components in your system, such as  
phonograph or tuner, play either louder or softer than the Wadia 302  
CD Player. In this case, adjust the Maximum Output Level so the  
volume of the Wadia 302 CD Player more closely matches the level of  
your other source components.  
Second, if you are connecting the Wadia 302 CD Player directly to your  
amplifier, you may need to adjust the Maximum Output Voltage to  
match the sensitivity of your amplifier or speakers. The Wadia Digital  
Volume Control performs best when operated in the top one-third of its  
range, (67 or higher). If you find that you listen often with the digital  
volume set lower than 50, reduce the Maximum Output Voltage so that  
the digital volume control is set higher during normal listening.  
If you have unusually inefficient loudspeakers or a low-gain amplifier,  
you may find that the output of the Wadia 302 CD Player is too low and  
that even at a volume setting of 99 the sound level is not loud enough.  
In this case, increase the Maximum Output Voltage.  
13  
Infrared Input and Pass-through  
The Wadia 302 CD Player is equipped with a pair of 1/8" mini-plug  
infrared (IR) pass-through jacks. The IR pass-through jacks can be used  
with an IR receiver/transmitter system to send remote control  
commands directly to the Wadia 302 CD Player. This may be useful for  
example, if the Wadia 302 CD Player is located outside the field of view  
of your listening position.  
Optional Digital Inputs  
Digital inputs are available as an option on the Wadia 302 CD Player.  
The digital inputs allow you to connect other digital sources and  
receive the benefits of Wadia’s decoding performance. The Wadia 302  
CD Player Digital Input card has the following inputs:  
Input 1: Glass-fiber optical  
Input 2: Coaxial with BNC connector  
Input 3: Coaxial with BNC connector  
Input 4: Plastic-optical TOSLINK  
All inputs automatically adjust to any of the standard digital-audio  
data-rates from 32 to 96 kHz.  
Digital Output  
The Wadia 302 CD Player is equipped with one digital output to allow  
the internal CD transport to feed another component, such as a digital  
recording device. The digital output is a S/PDIF signal on a high-quality  
BNC jack.  
14  
Choosing a Digital Cable  
For maximum performance we recommend using an ST glass-optical  
cable, which can be purchased from your Wadia dealer, for any  
digital audio connections. Wadia Digital was the first company to use  
glass fiber-optic data-transmission in digital audio and we believe that  
it offers the best performance of all the available options. Based on our  
experience, here is a list of digital interface methods in descending  
order of performance:  
1. ST-type Glass optical (as implemented by Wadia, with high  
quality glass-optical cable)  
2. AES/EBU using XLR connector  
3. Coaxial S/PDIF cable using BNC connector  
4. Coaxial S/PDIF cable using RCA connector  
5. TOSLINK plastic-optical cable  
The quality of any of these transmission methods depends on the  
quality of the cable and the sophistication of the transmitter and  
receiver. For example, a high-quality coaxial S/PDIF cable can  
outperform a low-quality AES/EBU cable. A high-quality AES/EBU cable  
may outperform a poorly implemented glass-optical system.  
If you are using a coaxial S/PDIF connection, we recommend having  
the cable terminated with a BNC connector. This will provide higher  
performance than an RCA connector. Your Wadia 302 CD input kit  
comes with an RCA/BNC adapter that can be used for experimentation  
between different types of coaxial S/PDIF cables.  
Again, we highly recommend that you take advantage of your dealer’s  
experience and, most importantly, trust your ears.  
Connecting to the Digital Inputs or Output  
To connect to either the digital inputs or output of the Wadia 302 CD  
Player, simply connect the appropriate digital input or output to the  
outboard component.

For track numbers greater than 10, use the >10 key to set the first digit  
and then one of the number keys for the second digit.  
VOLUME UP/DOWN  
Pressing these keys increases or decreases volume by 0.5 dB for each  
time the key is pressed. The two-digit LED on the front panel indicates  
the volume level, with a range of 0-99. When the volume is set to zero  
the output is muted. Volume level of 01 is –50dB from maximum  
output, and each successive step increases the output by ½ dB until  
maximum output is reached and the display indicates 99.  
19  
MUTE  
The Wadia 302 CD Player has two mute modes that are automatically  
implemented under different circumstances.  
1. Software Mute: When the MUTE key is pressed on the remote  
control, the Wadia 302 CD Player DSP engine transmits a stream of  
zero signal-level samples to the DAC section, which results in zero  
output.  
2. Relay Mute: The Wadia 302 CD Player has mute relay connected  
between the positive and negative outputs. When this relay is  
engaged, it connects the positive output to the negative output,  
reducing the output to zero. This relay, which produces an audible  
click when it engages or disengages, is not in the music signal  
path. The mute relay is engaged under any of the following three  
conditions:  
Each time the Wadia 302 CD Player power switch is turned on.  
When the Wadia 302 CD Player detects AC input level below  
its minimum operating range.  
When the volume control is set to zero AND the MUTE key on  
the remote control is pressed.  
When the Wadia 302 CD Player is in either software or relay mute, the  
Mute indicator on the front panel will illuminate. Note that the CD will  
continue playing even when the output is muted.  
INPUT  
The Wadia 302 CD Player can be configured with four optional digital  
inputs (See section on Optional Inputs). Each time the INPUT key is  
pressed, the next input is selected. For example, if you are listening to  
the internal CD drive, and you press the INPUT, Input 1 will be selected.  
Press it again, and Input 2 will be selected and so on. After Input 4, the  
list will begin again with the internal CD drive.  
INVERT  
Pressing the INVERT key on the remote control will cause the Wadia 302  
CD Player to invert phase; pressing it again will switch the phase back  
to normal. When the phase is inverted, the INVERT indicator on the front  
panel will illuminate.  
REPEAT  
Pressing the REPEAT key will repeat the entire disc, program, or single  
track continuously. Pressing it a second time will stop repeating. The  
repeat mode is indicated by the front panel display.  
20  
SINGLE  
To play a Single track first press the Single button (a ONE indicator will  
light in the display window), then press the numeric button(s) that  
correspond(s) to the track you would like to play.  
PROGRAM  
The PROGRAM key can be used to create a program to play tracks on  
a disc in any order you choose. Programming functions are available  
only when the CD is stopped. Follow these steps to create a program:  
1. Press the PROGRAM key to enter the programming mode (the  
display will indicate Pr).  
2. Use the Direct Access Keypad to select a desired track.  
3. Repeat until all desired tracks are entered.  
4. Press PLAY to hear the tracks in the program order.  
5. Pressing Program a second time will return you to the  
programming mode where you may check your program.  
6. Opening the disc loading drawer or turning the power off will  
erase the program.  
CHECK
