Non-use periods If the unit has a standby function, a small amount of current will continue to flow into the equipment in this mode. Unplug the power cord of the appliance from the outlet if left unused for a long period of time. 2. [. . . ] The resulting four mono signals (two for each channel) are summed together to help improve dynamic range, linearity and therefore distortion. 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. CD93 3 English Installation Positioning the unit Always place the CD player on a level, firm surface. Placing your player on a set of dedicated sorbothane 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 (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 4 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 (marked POWER INLET) in the back of the unit. Make sure it is pushed in firmly. 1 Put the plug on the other end of the cable into your power supply socket and switch the socket on. Coaxial digital output 2 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 3 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 5 It is not necessary to make any connection to this socket in normal use. This connection is for ease of installation to multiroom remote control systems and is suitable for modulated IR commands. Contact your multi-room installer for more information.
