SimLink™
The SimLink™ provides communication features between various MOON components. For example,
ifyouwere to connect the 260D to the 340i via the SimLink™, pressing the  (play) button on the 260D
willcause the 340i to automatically switch to the input labelled ‘B1’. You can change this default setting
asfollows: Select the input that you want as the new default for CD, then press and hold the INPUT (left)
button until the front panel display begins to flash on and off.
A second feature of SimLink™ involves the “Standby” function. By pressing down and holding the “Standby”
button for 2 seconds on the either the 260D or 340i, both units will go into “Standby” mode. The same logic
applies when switching from “Standby” to active mode.
If you are using the “MiND” Music Streamer and an external digital-to-analog converter (DAC),
youmustmake a SimLink™ connection between the “MiND”s SimLink™ out and the 340i’s SimLink™ in.
The“A1” input is the default input for the “MiND” Music Streamer; When you press the  (play) button
onthe “MiND” App, the 340i will automatically switch to the input labeled “A1”. You can change this default
settings for the “MiND” as follows: Select the input that you want as the new default for “MiND”,
thenpressand hold the “MP” button until the front panel display begins to flash on and off.
If your 340i includes the “DAC” option, then the default input for the MiND is the ‘D2” input; When you press
the (play) button on the “MiND” App, the 340i will automatically switch to the input labeled ‘D2’.
Youcanchange these default settings for the “MiND” as follows: Select the input that you want asthenewdefault
for “MiND”, then press and hold the “MP” button until the front panel display begins toflash on and off.
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
may not function. Also, there is no master component in a SimLink™ chain; no one particular component
operates as the main communications controller.
The MOON 340i is equipped with a pair ofgold-
plated binding posts. Connect your speakers,
withthe cables of your choice, to the 340i’s speaker
binding posts. Take care to respect thepolarity
(“+”, “-” ) of the outputs. Onceagain,
don’thesitate to use high quality speaker cables*.
Poorquality speaker cables candegrade theoverall
sonic performance ofyour system.
Connect the supplied AC power cable to the IEC
receptacle, located on the amplifier’s rear panel.
Ensure that the AC wall outlet you use
hasafunctioning ground. For the best sonic
performance, it is preferable that you plug
your340i directly into a dedicated AC outlet
andavoid using an extension cord. If you have
thetime and willingness, consider installing
asuperior quality AC wall outlet such asahospital
grade Hubbell*.

Retailer about the benefits of high quality cables
foryour system, and superior quality AC walloutlet.
