Positioning the unit
Always place the CD player on a level, fi rm 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 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.
Audio outputs
Connect these to your amplifi er'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 amplifi er.
The second set of sockets can be used to connect to a second amplifi er set up for multi-room use.
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 75Ω 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 IR input
These connections are intended for use in multi-room installations. In normal use there is no
need to make any connections to these sockets.
TRIGGER IN
the CD36 to switch automatically in and out of stand-by when the amplifi er is switched off
and on.
REMOTE IN
is covered (or otherwise not 'visible' to the remote control). An external sensor is used to
receive the signals from the remote control, which are then fed to the CD36 (into this input)
using a suitable cable. Remote control signals acceptable to the CD36 must be in modulated
RC5 format, with a voltage level of between 5V and 15V.
Connecting to a power supply
Mains lead
The appliance is normally supplied with a moulded mains plug already fi tted 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.
Check that the plug supplied with the unit fi ts your supply and that your mains supply voltage agrees
with the voltage setting
If your mains supply voltage or mains plug is different, or you require a new lead, please consult your
Arcam dealer.
Plugging in
Push the plug (IEC line socket) of the power cable supplied with the unit into the socket
of the unit. Make sure it is pushed in fi rmly. Put the plug on the other end of the cable into your power
CD36
supply socket and switch the socket on.
