installation
Arcam’s CD17 provides class-leading sound quality from compact discs.
e CD17 has a Delta-Sigma DAC (Digital-to-Analogue Converter) with
24-bit ltering, allowing ne details to be reproduced in startling clarity.
e CR10 remote control supplied with the CD17 is simple to use and can
also control an Arcam amplier.
e high performance CD17 audio disc player is designed to truly bring
your music to life.
Placing the unit
< Place the CD17 on a level, rm surface, avoiding
direct sunlight and sources of heat or damp.
< Do not place the CD17 on top of an amplier or
other source of heat.
< Do not place the CD17 in an enclosed space
such as a bookcase or closed cabinet unless there
is good provision for ventilation. e CD17 is
designed to run warm during normal operation.
< Do not place any other component or item on top
of the CD17 as this may obstruct airow around
the unit, causing the CD17 to run hot.
< Make sure the remote-control receiver to the
le of the front panel display is unobstructed,
otherwise this will impair the use of the remote-
control.
< Do not place your record deck on top of this
unit. Record decks are very sensitive to the noise
generated by mains power supplies which will be
heard as a background ‘hum’ if the record deck is
too close.
Power
e CD17 is supplied with a moulded mains plug
already tted to the lead. Check that the plug supplied
ts your supply – should you require a new mains lead,
please contact your Arcam dealer.
If your mains supply voltage or mains plug is dierent,
please contact your Arcam dealer immediately
Push the IEC plug end of the power cable into the socket
on the back of the CD17, making sure that it is pushed
in rmly. Plug the other end of the cable into your
mains socket and, if necessary, switch the socket on.
Interconnect cables
We recommend the use of high-quality screened cables
that are designed for the particular application. Other
cables will have dierent impedance characteristics
that will degrade the performance of your system (for
example, do not use cabling intended for video use to
carry audio signals). All cables should be kept as short
as is practically possible.
It is good practice when connecting your equipment to
make sure that the mains power-supply cabling is kept
as far away as possible from your audio cables. Failure to
do so may result in unwanted noise in the audio signals.
