Arcam CD37 - Unit Placement and Ventilation; Power and Interconnect Cables; Remote and Trigger Input Usage

E-4
installation
Arcam’s CD37 provides class-leading sound quality from compact discs.
e CD37 has a Delta-Sigma DAC (Digital-to-Analogue Converter)
with DSD (Direct Stream Digital) ltering, allowing ne details to be
reproduced with startling clarity from conventional CDs or Super Audio
CDs. e CR90 ‘universal’ remote control supplied with the CD37 is
simple to use and can control up to eight audio devices – such as an
amplifer, television or Personal Video Recorder.
e high performance CD37 audio disc player is designed to truly bring
your music to life.
Placing the unit
< Place the CD player on a level, rm surface,
avoiding direct sunlight and sources of heat or
damp.
< Do not place the CD player on top of an amplier
or other source of heat.
< Do not place the CD player in an enclosed space
such as a bookcase or closed cabinet unless there
is good provision for ventilation. e CD player is
designed to run warm during normal operation.
< Do not place any other component or item on
top of the CD player as this may obstruct airow
around the unit, causing the CD player to run hot.
< Make sure the remote-control receiver
(behind the FMJ badge on the front panel) is
unobstructed, or remote control will be impaired.
< 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 CD player 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 CD player, 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.
The remote control and trigger
inputs
e REMOTE IN input can be used to pass RC5 codes
(see page 9) to the CD37 if it is installed in a position,
or a system, where infrared cannot be used. If this
is required, please contact your dealer for further
information.
e
TRIGGER IN input can be used to switch the CD37 in
and out of stand-by. Connecting the trigger output of
your Arcam amplier (or other compatible device), will
cause the CD37 to come out of stand-by automatically
when the amplier is switched on, returning to stand-by
when the amplier is switched o. Please see your
amplier handbook for further information.
In normal use there is no need to make any connections
to these inputs.
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.
e remote control input requires a mono 3.5mm
jack, with the tip active and the sleeve grounded.
e remote control signals must be in modulated
RC5 format (at 36kHz), with a voltage level of
between 5V and 12V.
