Cambridgeaudio cd 5 owners manual

Page 1

Thank you for purchasing this Cambridge Audio CD player. This model is part of our com mitment to the on-ggoing development of the Cambridge Audio range. We hope that you will appreciate the results and enjoy many years of listening pleasure from them. As with previous Cambridge Audio CD players, the CD5 makes use of a custom Cambridge Audio servo solution and transport, at the heart of which is a VLSI (Very Large Scale Integration) circuit which dynamically adjusts in real time the focusing, tracking and output level of the laser for the maximum retrieval of digital information. To ensure the very best performance there are also multiple separate power supplies for the D/A converter circuitry, audio filters, clocks and other stages, as well as extensive use of low impedance film capacitors. The CD5 CD player also now features MP3 playback and allows naviga- tion of MP3 folders on the disc directly from the remote control and front panel. Your CD player can only be as good as the system it is connected to. Please do not compromise on your amplifier, speakers or cabling. Naturally we particularly recommend amplification from the Cambridge Audio range, which have been designed to the same exacting standards as our CD players. Your dealer can also supply excellent quality Cambridge Audio interconnects to ensure your system realises its full potential. Thanks for taking the time to read this manual; we do recommend you keep it for future reference. Matthew Bramble Technical Director INTRODUCTION

The crossed-out wheeled bin is the European Union symbol for indi- cating separate collection for electrical and electronic equipment. This product contains electrical and electronic equipment which should be reused, recycled or recovered and should not be dis- posed of with unsorted regular waste. Please return the unit or con- tact the authorised dealer from whom you purchased this product for more information. Plug Fitting Instructions (UK Only) The cord supplied with this appliance is factory fitted with a 13 amp mains plug fit- ted with a 3 amp fuse inside. If it is necessary to change the fuse, it is important that a 3 amp one is used. If the plug needs to be changed because it is not suitable for your socket, or becomes damaged, it should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted following the wiring instructions below. The plug must then be disposed of safely, as insertion into a 13 amp socket is likely to cause an electrical hazard. Should it be necessary to fit a 3-pin BS mains plug to the power cord the wires should be fitted as shown in this diagram. The colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug. Connect them as follows: The wire which is coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured BLACK. The wire which is coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured RED. The wire which is coloured GREEN/YELLOW must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter E or coloured GREEN. If your model does not have an earth wire, then disregard this instruction. If a 13amp (BS 1363) plug is used, a 3amp fuse must be fitted, or if any other type of plug is used a 3 amp or 5 amp fuse must be fitted, either in the plug or adaptor, or on the distribution board. Checking the Power Supply Rating For your own safety please read the following instructions carefully before attempting to connect this unit to the mains. Check that the rear of your unit indicates the correct supply voltage. If your mains supply voltage is different, consult your dealer. This unit is designed to operate only on the supply voltage and type that is indicat- ed on the rear panel of the unit. Connecting to other power sources may damage the unit. This equipment must be switched off when not in use and must not be used unless correctly earthed. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove the unit's cover (or back). There are no user serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qual- ified service personnel. If the power cord is fitted with a moulded mains plug the unit must not be used if the plastic fuse carrier is not in place. Should you lose the fuse carrier the correct part must be reordered from your Cambridge Audio dealer. The lightning flash with the arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of un-insulated dangerous voltage within the products enclosure that may be of sufficient mag- nitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons. The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and mainte- nance instructions in the service literature relevant to this appliance. This product complies with European Low Voltage (73 / 23 / EEC) and Electromagnetic Compatibility (89 / 336 / EEC) Directives when used and installed according to this instruction manual.
