User manual ARCAM CD33

[. . . ] Racks and stands Only use a rack or stand that is recommended for use with audio equipment. If the equipment is on a portable rack it should be moved with great care, to avoid overturning the combination. The case should normally only require a wipe with a soft, damp, lintfree cloth. We do not advise the use of furniture cleaning sprays or polishes as they can cause indelible white marks if the unit is subsequently wiped with a damp cloth. [. . . ] Due to the higher sample rates, the digital filters roll off less aggressively than for standard DACs, and the analogue filters have a wider bandwidth resulting in less phase distortion, particularly for the higher frequencies. OTHER LANGUAGES Check the Arcam website (www. arcam. co. uk) for further languages. 3 Installation 230V AUDIO OUTPUTS L DIGITAL OUTPUTS R 1 2 REMOTE IN POWER INLET CO-AXIAL OPTICAL 1 23 4 5 1 2 3 4 5 Power inlet, with voltage indicator Coaxial digital output Optical digital output Twin audio outputs Remote input POSITIONING THE UNIT Always place the CD player on a level, firm surface. Placing your player on a set of dedicated isolation feet will isolate the unit from its surroundings as well as absorbing the vibrations created within the player itself. You will generally hear some sonic improvements, which makes this an extremely cost-effective upgrade. CONNECTING TO A POWER SUPPLY WRONG PLUG? Check that the plug supplied with the unit fits your supply and that your mains supply voltage agrees with the voltage setting (120V or 230V) indicated on the rear panel of the unit. If your mains supply voltage or mains plug is different, consult your Arcam dealer or Arcam Customer Support on +44 (0)1223 203203. CONNECTING TO OTHER EQUIPMENT INTERCONNECT CABLES Interconnecting cables are not supplied with this CD player. We recommend high quality cables as inferior quality cables will degrade the sound quality of your system. Please contact your Arcam dealer for details of suitable cables. MAINS LEAD The appliance is normally supplied with a moulded mains plug already fitted to the lead. If for any reason the plug needs to be removed, it must be disposed of immediately and securely, as it is a potential shock hazard when inserted into the mains socket. Should you require a new mains lead, contact your Arcam dealer. AUDIO OUTPUTS Connect these to your amplifier's CD or any other line-level input using suitable high quality interconnect cables. Ensure that the left and right audio outputs from the CD player are connected to the same left and right inputs on your amplifier. The second set of sockets can be used to connect to a second amplifier set up for multi-room use. PLUGGING IN Push the plug (IEC line socket) of the power cable supplied with the unit into the socket (POWER INLET) in the back of the unit. Put the plug on the other end of the cable into your power supply socket and switch the socket on. COAXIAL DIGITAL OUTPUT Use this socket if you are using a separate digital to analogue converter (DAC) or digital recorder. Connect to the DAC or recorder's digital input using a suitable 75 screened cable. CAUTION: Never connect the digital output socket to a conventional audio input. OPTICAL DIGITAL OUTPUT Use this socket if you are using a separate DAC or digital recorder with an optical connection. Connect using a suitable optical cable. REMOTE INPUT CONNECTION It is not necessary to make any connection to this socket in normal use. This connection is for ease of installation to multi-room remote control systems and is suitable for modulated IR commands. Contact your multi-room installer for more information. 4 Using your CD player CD33 COMPACT DISC PLAYER LOAD PLAY STOP PAUSE POWER POWER Press this button to switch the CD player on and off.
