Installation; Positioning The Unit; Connecting To Other Equipment; Connecting To A Power Supply - Arcam CD72 Handbook

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. Your Arcam dealer can
demonstrate this to ou.

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 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.
CD82 only: The second set of sockets can be used to
connect to a second amplifier 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.

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

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.
