Safety guidelines

Safety instructions

This product is designed and manufactured to meet strict quality and safety standards. However, you should be aware of the following installation and operation precautions:

1. Take heed of warnings and instructions

You should read all the safety and operating instructions before operating this appliance. Retain this handbook for future reference and adhere to all warnings in the handbook or on the appliance.

2. Water and moisture

The presence of electricity near water can be dangerous. Do not use the appliance near water – for example next to a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, in a wet basement or near a swimming pool, etc..

3. Object or liquid entry

Take care that objects do not fall and liquids are not spilled into the enclosure through any openings. Liquid filled objects such as vases should not be placed on the equipment.

4. Ventilation

Do not place the equipment on a bed, sofa, rug or similar soft surface, or in an enclosed bookcase or cabinet, since ventilation may be impeded. We recommend a minimum distance of 50mm (2 inches) around the sides and top of the appliance to provide adequate ventilation.

5. Heat

Locate the appliance away from naked flames or heat producing equipment such as radiators, stoves or other appliances (including other amplifiers) that produce heat.

6. Climate

The appliance has been designed for use in moderate climates.

7. Racks and stands

Only use a rack or stand that is recommended for use with audio equipment. If the equipment is on a portable rack it should be moved with great care, to avoid overturning the combination.

8. Cleaning

Unplug the unit from the mains supply before cleaning.

The case should normally only require a wipe with a soft, damp, lint-free cloth. Do not use paint thinners or other chemical solvents for cleaning.

We do not advise the use of furniture cleaning sprays or polishes as they can cause indelible white marks if the unit is subsequently wiped with a damp cloth.

9. Power sources

Only connect the appliance to a power supply of the type described in the operating instructions or as marked on the appliance.

10. Power-cord protection

Power supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords and plugs, and the point where they exit from the appliance.

11. Grounding

Ensure that the grounding means of the appliance is not defeated.

12. Power lines

Locate any outdoor antenna/aerial away from power lines.

13. Non-use periods

If the unit has a standby function, a small amount of current will continue to flow into the equipment in this mode. Unplug the power cord of the appliance from the outlet if left unused for a long period of time.

14. Abnormal smell

If an abnormal smell or smoke is detected from the appliance, turn the power off immediately and unplug the unit from the wall outlet. Contact your dealer immediately.

15. Servicing

You should not attempt to service the appliance beyond that described in this handbook. All other servicing should be referred to qualified service personnel.

A. the power-supply cord or the plug has been damaged, or
B. objects have fallen, or liquid has spilled into the appliance, or
C. the appliance has been exposed to rain, or
D. the appliance does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a marked change in performance, or
E. the appliance has been dropped or the enclosure damaged.

Safety compliance

This product has been designed to meet the EN60065 international electrical safety standard.

Using this handbook

This handbook has been designed to give you all the information you need to install, connect, set up and use the Arcam CD72 or CD82 compact disc players. The CR-314 remote control handset supplied with this equipment is also described, as it applies to operating the CD players.

Safety

Safety guidelines are set out on the inside front cover of this handbook.

Many of these items are common sense precautions, but for your own safety, and to ensure that you do not damage the unit, we strongly recommend that you read them.

Models covered

This handbook covers two CD players:

CD72

CD82

These use the same basic chassis and mechanics and the controls are identical. They differ in the audio path electronics used.

These CD players have been designed to be upgradeable to a higher specification player in the Arcam range. For example, the CD72 can be upgraded to CD82; the CD82 can be upgraded to CD92. Your Arcam dealer can give you more information on this upgrade path.

CD72 player

This has a Delta-Sigma DAC (Digital to Analogue Converter) with 24-bit filtering.

CD82 player

The CD82 uses two 24-bit 192kHz capable Wolfson DACs in a dual-mode configuration with one DAC chip used for the left channel and one DAC chip used for the right channel.

The player uses high quality Burr Brown op-amps in the output stage and the DAC module includes a high stability Class 1 crystal oscillator.

Positioning the unit

Always place the CD player on a level, firm surface. Placing your player on a set of dedicated sorbothane isolation feet will isolate the unit from its surroundings as well as absorbing the vibrations created within the player itself. You will generally hear some sonic improvements, which makes this an extremely cost-effective upgrade. Your Arcam dealer can demonstrate this to ou.

Connecting to other equipment

Interconnect cables

Interconnecting cables are not supplied with this CD player. We recommend high quality cables as inferior quality cables will degrade the sound quality of your system. Please contact your Arcam dealer for details of suitable cables.

Audio outputs

Connect these to your amplifier's CD or any other line-level input using suitable high quality interconnect cables. Ensure that the left and right audio outputs from the CD player are connected to the same left and right inputs on your amplifier.

CD82 only: The second set of sockets can be used to connect to a second amplifier set up for multi-room use.

Coaxial digital output

Use this socket if you are using a separate digital to analogue converter (DAC) or digital recorder. Connect to the DAC or recorder's digital input using a suitable 75Ω screened cable.

CAUTION: Never connect the digital output socket to a conventional audio input.

Optical digital output

Use this socket if you are using a separate DAC or digital recorder with an optical connection. Connect using a suitable optical cable.

Remote input connection

It is not necessary to make any connection to this socket in normal use. This connection is for ease of installation to multi-room remote control systems and is suitable for modulated IR commands. Contact your multi-room installer for more information.

Connecting to a power supply

Wrong plug?

Check that the plug supplied with the unit fits your supply and that your mains supply voltage agrees with the voltage setting (120V or 230V) indicated on the rear panel of the unit.

If your mains supply voltage or mains plug is different, consult your Arcam dealer or Arcam Customer Support on [phone].

Mains lead

The appliance is normally supplied with a moulded mains plug already fitted to the lead. If for any reason the plug needs to be removed, it must be disposed of immediately and securely, as it is a potential shock hazard when inserted into the mains socket. Should you require a new mains lead, contact your Arcam dealer.

Plugging in

Push the plug (IEC line socket) of the power cable supplied with the unit into the socket (POWER INLET) in the back of the unit. Make sure it is pushed in firmly.

Put the plug on the other end of the cable into your power supply socket and switch the socket on.

Continual improvement policy

Arcam has a policy of continual improvement for its products. This means that designs and specifications are subject to change without notice.

Radio interference

The CD72 and CD82 players are digital audio devices which have been designed to very high standards of electromagnetic compatibility.

Both CD players and DACs generate, and can radiate RF (radio frequency) energy. In some cases this can cause interference with FM and AM radio reception. If this is the case, keep the CD player and its connecting cables as far from the tuner and its aerials as possible. Connecting the CD player and the tuner to different mains sockets can also help to reduce interference.

EC COUNTRIES — These products have been designed to comply with directive 89/336/EEC.

USA – These products comply with FCC requirements.

Laser radiation

If an Arcam CD player is operated whilst the outer casing is removed, invisible laser radiation could cause eye damage.
