Your compact disc player is now ready for use. 2 Use good quality interconnect cables from these sockets to any line level input on your amplifier. For best results and matched performance, we recommend connection to a Cambridge Audio Azur amplifier. 6 Power On/Off S/P DIF co-axial digital output Switches the unit on and off. 3 Control Bus For input to a separate DAC, such as Cambridge Audio DacMagic*, or digital recording machine. To obtain best results, use a high quality 75ohm digital RCA interconnect cable (not one designed for normal audio use). 7 In Allows un-modulated commands from multi-rooms systems or other components to be received by the unit. Out Loop out for control bus commands to another unit. 4 TOSLINK Optical digital output IR (Infra Red) Emitter In Use to connect to the input of a separate DAC* or digital recording machine. Note: To obtain the best results from your system we recommend using only high quality Cambridge Audio interconnects. Please ask you dealer for details. * For more information, see the DacMagic page on the Cambridge Audio website: www. cambridgeaudio. com/products. php Allows modulated IR commands from multi-room systems or IR repeater systems to be received by the unit. Refer to the `Custom Installation' section for more information. 5 Front panel controls 1 2 3 4 5 6 1 Standby/On Display functions 1 2 3 Switches the unit between On and Standby mode. The blue LED will remain bright when the unit is on, becoming dim when the unit is in a special eco-friendly standby mode. It is advisable to switch the unit off at the mains if it is not likely to be used for an extended period of time. Note: For convenience, the player can be programmed to automatically enter Standby mode after a period of inactivity. To enable this feature, see "Using the set-up menu" on page 9. 1 2 4 5 6 Play Open/Close Illuminated during disc playback. 2 Allows you to open and close the disc tray. After placing a CD in the tray, press Open/Close to close the tray. 3 Pause Infrared sensor Indicates that disc playback has been paused. 3 Receives IR commands from the supplied remote control. A clear, unobstructed line of sight between the remote control and the sensor is required. 4 Display Play/Pause Alpha-numeric characters which display playback information. On inserting a disc, the CD player will take a few seconds to read the Table of Contents (TOC) information from the disc. The display will then show the number of tracks on the CD and the total length of the CD. If the CD incorporates CD-text, the name of the album will scroll once (the number of tracks remains stationary throughout). Once playback of an individual track begins, the track number, total number of tracks and play-time will be displayed. Pressing the (Info) button on the remote control will re-display the CD-text. 4 Plays the disc and pauses play. 5 Stop Stops the CD playing. 6 Skip/Scan Enables you to skip between and search within tracks.

I. ) use The 550C and 650C feature a Control Bus input/output that allow unmodulated remote control commands (positive logic, TTL level) to be received electrically by the unit and looped to another unit if desired. These control commands are typically generated by custom installation (multi-room) systems or remote IR receiver systems. An IR Emitter Input is also provided that allows modulated IR remote control commands to be received electrically by the unit. [. . . ]
