Owner's Manual
SimLink™
The
SimLink™
provides
between various MOON components. For example, if
you were to connect the 650D DAC / CD Transport to
the 650D Integrated Amplifier via the SimLink™,
pressing the
(play) button on the 650D would make
the integrated amplifier automatically switch to it's
designated input for the DAC / CD Transport (Please
refer to the 650D owner's manual for more information
if applicable). If you were to adjust the brightness level
of the large digital display window using the "Display"
button on the 650D, the brightness level of the 650D
display will automatically adjust to the same brightness
level as that of the 650D.
SimLink™ is a true bi-directional connection, adjusting
the 650D brightness level will automatically adjust the
brightness level of the 650D.
A third feature of SimLink™ involves the "Standby"
function. By pressing down and holding the "Standby"
button for 2 seconds on the 650D, all other MOON
components connected via the SimLink will go into
"Standby" mode along with the 650D. The same logic
applies when switching from "Standby" to active mode.
The connection rules for the SimLink™ are very basic.
You must always connect the supplied cable between
one component's "SimLink™ Out" jack and another
component's "SimLink™ In" jack. If you inadvertently
connect the cable between either two "SimLink™ In" or
two "SimLink™ Out" jacks, the SimLink™ communication
feature will not function.

When you are using your MOON 650D with an older
MOON product such as a P-7, P-8 or i-7, you will need to
update the software of the older product to allow for
complete SimLink™ functionality. Contact your retailer
for further details.

Operating the 650D
We recommend that you leave your MOON 650D DAC
powered up at all times to maintain optimal
performance. When you plan to be away from your
home for a few days, powering off the DAC may not be
a bad idea. Once fully "broken-in", please keep in mind
that your 650D will require several hours of playing
time before it reaches its peak performance after you've
powered it up again.
Turning on your MOON 650D for the first time
Prior to turning the DAC on for the first time, make sure
that every cable is properly connected to avoid any
problems. Flick the main rocker switch, located on the
rear panel, labeled "POWER" to the '1' (on) position to
place your 650D in to standby mode. Next, briefly press
the push button labeled "Standby" located on the front
panel. You will hear a very faint click sound confirming
that everything is in order. The blue LED on the front
panel will illuminate, indicating that the 650D is now
powered up and ready for use.
On and Off Sequence
To avoid having any annoying noises (ie. "thumps" and
"pops") emanate from your speakers when powering
your 650D on or off, you should always power up your
650D DAC before powering up your preamplifier
and/or integrated amplifier. As well, always power
