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
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, lintfree 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.
16. Damage requiring service
The appliance should be serviced by qualified service personnel
when:
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 FMJ CD33 Compact
Disc player. The remote control handset supplied with the equipment
is also described.
It may be that the CD33 has been installed and set up as part of your
Hi-Fi installation by a qualified Arcam dealer. In this case, you may wish
to skip the sections of this handbook dealing with installation and
setting up the unit. Use the Contents list to guide you to the relevant
sections.
SAFETY
Safety guidelines are set out on the following page 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. This is a class 1 product and requires
an earth connection.

The FMJ CD33 incorporates the latest audio up-sampling technology
to convert the 44.1kHz data from the CD up to 192kHz in 24-bit
precision using the Analog Devices AD1896 sample rate converter.
The 192kHz audio data is converted into the analogue domain using
four Wolfson Micro WM8740 24-bit stereo DACs. Left and right
output channels are made using two stereo DAC chips per channel,
both operating in dual mono configuration. The resulting four mono
signals (two for each channel) are summed together to help improve
dynamic range, linearity and therefore distortion.
Due to the higher sample rates, the digital filters roll off less
aggressively than for standard DACs, and the analogue filters have a
wider bandwidth resulting in less phase distortion, particularly for the
higher frequencies.
