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 dierent, 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 to the CDS27 if it is installed in a position or system, where infrared cannot be used. If this is required, please contact your dealer for further information. NOTE < 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. e 12V TRIGGER IN input can be used to switch the CDS27 into and out of standby. Connecting the trigger output of your Arcam amplier (or other compatible device), will cause the CDS27 to come out of standby automatically when the amplier is switched on, returning to standby when the amplier is switched o. Please see your amplier handbook for further information. In normal use there is no need to make any connections to these inputs. e RS232 input is for optional connection to a home automation system or computer. Various third-party systems are available providing sophisticated control over all your entertainment devices using touch screens etc. Contact your dealer or installer for further details. e technical details of the remote control protocol are available from Arcam on request (email support@ arcam.co.uk). Interconnect cables We recommend the use of high-quality screened cables that are designed for the particular application. Other cables will have dierent 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.

See page 5. Coaxial digital output Use this socket if you are using a high quality audiophile DAC with a coaxial digital input. Connect to the digital input using a suitable 75Ω screened cable. CAUTION: Never connect the digital output socket to a conventional audio input. Wireless network connection Connect the supplied Wi-Fi antenna if a wireless network connection is required. A network connection enables Network audio playback (for setup details see page 11). Network connection Connect this socket to a port on your network router using an Ethernet patch cable (see page 7). A network connection enables network audio playback (for setup details see page 11). Making audio connections e CDS27 oers a number of alternatives for connecting audio, the connection type to use depends on the rest of your system; chose the type most appropriate to your amplier. For the best stereo sound quality we recommend connecting the stereo analogue audio outputs to the CD input on your amplier, allowing the CDS27’s audiophile digital-to-analogue circuitry to be utilised. Analogue Using a pair of stereo phono cables of suitable length, connect the outputs labelled “Phono” to the le and right CD/SACD inputs on your amplier. Alternatively, connect the le/right balanced outputs to a balanced input on your amplier. Digital Connect one of the Digital Audio outputs (Optical or Coaxial) to the ‘CD/SACD’ digital input of your receiver, these digital outputs provide PCM stereo only.

Also, for each author’s protection and ours, we want to make certain that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free soware. If the soware is modied by someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so that any problems introduced by others will not reect on the original authors’ reputations. Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by soware patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free program will individually obtain patent licenses, in eect making the program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for everyone’s free use or not licensed at all. e precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modication follow. TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING,

DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION

is License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the terms of this General Public License. e ‘Program’, below, refers to any such program or work, and a ‘work based on the Program’ means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modications and/or translated into another language. (Hereinaer, translation is included without limitation in the term ‘modication’.) Each licensee is addressed as ‘you’. Activities other than copying, distribution and modication are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. e act of running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Program (independent of having been made by running the Program). Whether that is true depends on what the Program does. ENGLISH

1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program’s

source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License along with the Program. You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option oer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.

2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any

portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and distribute such modications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: a). You must cause the modied les to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the les and the date of any change. b). You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License. c). If the modied program normally reads commands interactively when run, you must cause it, when started running for such interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on the Program is not required to print an announcement.) ese requirements apply to the modied work as a whole. If identiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it. us, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Program. In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this License.

3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on

it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following: a). Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine- readable source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for soware interchange; or, b). Accompany it with a written oer, valid for at least three years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for soware interchange; or, c). Accompany it with the information you received as to the oer to distribute corresponding source code. (is alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in object code or executable form with such an oer, in accord with Subsection b above.) e source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modications to it. For an executable work, complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface denition les, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a special exception, the source code distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the executable. If distribution of executable or object code is made by oering access to copy from a designated place, then oering equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place counts as distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code.

4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the

Program except as expressly provided under this License. Anyattempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.

5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not

signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Program or its derivative works. ese actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. erefore, by modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the Program or works based on it.

6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based

on the Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients’ exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to this License.

7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent

infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Program. If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances. It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free soware distribution system, which is implemented by public license practices. Many people have made generous contributions to the wide range of soware distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application MPEG Layer-3 audio coding technology licensed from Fraunhofer IIS and omson.

GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE

Version 2, June 1991 Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Soware Foundation, Inc. 51 Franklin Street, Fih Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301, USA Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. Preamble e licenses for most soware are designed to take away your freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free soware--to make sure the soware is free for all its users. is General Public License applies to most of the Free Soware Foundation’s soware and to any other program whose authors commit to using it. (Some other Free Soware Foundation soware is covered by the GNU Lesser General Public License instead.) You can apply it to your programs, too. When we speak of free soware, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free soware (and charge for this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change the soware or use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things. To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. ese restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the soware, or if you modify it. For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights. of that system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute soware through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice. is section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of the rest of this License.

8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted

in certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Program under this License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License.

9. e Free Soware Foundation may publish revised and/or new

versions of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may dier in detail to address new problems or concerns. Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program species a version number of this License which applies to it and ‘any later version’, you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that version or of any later version published by the Free Soware Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Soware Foundation.

10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other

free programs whose distribution conditions are dierent, write to the author to ask for permission. For soware which is copyrighted by the Free Soware Foundation, write to the Free Soware Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free soware and of promoting the sharing and reuse of soware generally. NO WARRANTY

How to Apply ese Terms to Your New Programs If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it free soware which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms. To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest to attach them to the start of each source le to most eectively convey the exclusion of warranty; and each le should have at least the ‘copyright’ line and a pointer to where the full notice is found. One line to give the program’s name and a brief idea of what it does. Copyright (C) <year><name of author> is program is free soware; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Soware Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version. is program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
