Page 3: Installation
Unpacking After unpacking your Cantata Music Center, inspect it for any shipping damage and contact us immediately if any is found. Do not plug the unit into any outlet if you discover any shipping damage. Please keep all packing materials for future transport of your player, and please do not detach the foam from the inside of the shipping crate. The crate is designed for easy reuse should it be needed and is well-tested to ensure the safety of your player. Shipping the unit in anything other than its original crate may result in damage that is not covered by warranty. If you require a replacement crate or other packing materials, please contact Resolution Audio. In addition to the Music Center, the following items are also included: mains power cord, USB cable, remote control, and (2) AAA batteries for the remote control. To install the batteries in the remote control, open the cover on the back of the remote, insert the batteries in the orientation shown inside the compartment, and re- place the cover. Installation 1. Turn off any associated components prior to connecting the Cantata Music Center. This minimizes the chance of momentary electrical surges disturbing your system. 2. Set the power switch on the rear of the unit to the OFF position, attach the power cord and connect it to your electrical outlet. (The OFF position is selected when the “O” symbol on the switch is depressed.) 3. Connect the analog outputs of the Cantata Music Center to your preamplifier or amplifier. The Cantata Music Center is designed to connect to any preamplifier or amplifier directly using RCA or XLR interconnects. 4. Turn on the main power switch on the rear panel of the Cantata Music Center. (The ON position is selected when the “I” symbol on the switch is depressed.) The Cantata will begin in low-power standby mode. Press the standby button on either the front panel or the remote control. The Cantata Music Center will take a few seconds to initialize and read the disc if present. Volume level is factory-set to a low level (30), but will subse- quently be restored to the last saved setting. 5. Turn on the rest of your system. It is a good habit to turn the amplifier on last, and off first, to prevent surges and transients from reaching your loudspeakers. 6. Insert a CD and press Play, or select an external input via the remote or front panel. 7. Adjust the volume. If you are using a preamplifier, we recommend setting the level to maximum (100). The volume setting can also be used to match the level of the Cantata Music Center to other source components, in order to minimize the difference when switching sources. -

, c a l i f o r n i a u s a DO NOT OPEN Power Connections and Controls Power Switch – When off, power is completely disconnected from the player. Fuse: Replace only with time-lag fuse, IEC 60127 Type 3 Rating: 1 00-120 VAC use 1.6 A, for 200-240 VAC use 800 mA Mains power – Connect to mains using IEC power cord. Voltage Indication – Be certain the Music Center has been configured for your local mains voltage. Communications Cantata Link – These connections link the Music Center to other Cantata series products, such as an am- plifier, allowing commands to be sent between the units. Use only the cables supplied with Cantata series products. Digital Inputs Ethernet – If you will be utilizing the network playback functionality of the Music Center, connect to your home network via ethernet cable. See page 7 for more information. USB – Allows playback from a computer-based music library via USB cable. See page 7 for more information. Toslink/AES/Coaxial – Allows playback from other digital sources such as DVD or digital tuner. Note that the source must be set for PCM-format audio only as the Music Center will not decode surround sound audio. - Page 7 USB and Network Playback Whether you’re using a Macintosh or a Windows computer, configuring playback through the Cantata Music Center is fairly simple. However, there are several steps which differ between the platforms and many variables which can affect the quality of the audio you hear such as settings within the operating system, the application being used to play music, and the audio files themselves. Due to the constantly-changing nature of operating systems and computer hardware, we are maintaining the most up-to-date information about connecting your Music Center to your computer as well as links to third- party software options on a special section of our web site: http://www.resolutionaudio.com/computeraudio...
