1. Read these instructions.

2. Keep these instructions.

3. Heed all warnings.

4. Follow all instructions.

5. Do not use this apparatus near water.

6. Clean only with a dry cloth.

7. Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

8. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or

other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A

polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding-type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

IMPORTANT - The unit will become hot when in use. Do not stack multiple units on top of each other. Do not place in an enclosed area such as a bookcase or in a cabinet without sufficient ventilation.

Ensure that small objects do not fall through any ventilation grille. If this happens, switch off immediately, disconnect from the mains supply and contact your dealer for advice.

POSITIONING

Choose the installation location carefully. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight or close to a source of heat. No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, should be placed on the unit. Also avoid locations subject to vibration and excessive dust, cold or moisture. The unit can be used in a moderate climate.

This unit must be installed on a sturdy, level surface. Do not place in a sealed area such as a bookcase or in a cabinet. Do not place the unit on an unstable surface or shelf. The unit may fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult as well as serious damage to the product. Do not place other equipment on top of the unit.

Due to stray magnetic fields turntables or CRT TVs should not be located nearby due to possible interference.

Electronic audio components have a running in period of around a week (if used several hours per day). This will allow the new components to settle down, the sonic properties will improve over this time.

PLUG FITTING INSTRUCTIONS (UK ONLY)

The cord supplied with this appliance is factory fitted with a UK mains plug fitted with a 5 amp fuse inside. If it is necessary to change the fuse, it is important that a 5 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 mains 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 a 13 amp (BS 1363) plug is used, a 5 amp fuse must be fitted, or if any other type of plug is used a 5 amp fuse must be fitted, either in the plug or adaptor, or on the distribution board.

quality Cambridge Audio interconnects. This will ensure that you hear your system as we designed it. Please ask you dealer for details.

AUDIO INPUTS

These inputs are suitable for any ‘line level’ source equipment such as the audio outputs of CD players, BD/DVD players, etc.

PHONO INPUT

This input has a built in phono stage. Record players fitted with Phono Cartridges of the Moving Magnet (MM) tPlease consult your dealer for details. The ‘ground’ terminals on both the record player and the AXR100D should be connected (where possible) with a ground wire for lowest noise/hum pickup.

REC OUT

Connect to the recording input of a tape deck, CD recorder input, etc.

SUB-OUT

Connection to the input socket of an active subwoofer.

DAB/FM ANTENNA

Tuner aerial connections for picking up radio signals. Refer to the ‘Connections’ section of this manual. For permanent use, outdoor DAB/FM aerials are highly recommended.

SERVICE PORT

For servicing use only. Do not connect anything here as it may result in damage.

BLUETOOTH ANTENNA

Used for wireless streaming bluetooth (A2DP/AVRCP) audio capability directly from most phones, tablests and laptops. Refer to the operating instructions section of this manual

LOUDSPEAKER TERMINALS

Two sets of loudspeaker terminals are available, A (main loudspeaker terminals, top row) and B (secondary switchable loudspeaker terminals, bottom row). Connect the wires from your left channel loudspeaker to the Left positive and negative terminals, and the wires from the right channel loudspeaker to the Right positive and negative terminals. In each case, the red terminal is the positive output and the black terminal is the negative output.

Care should be taken to ensure no stray strands of wire are shorting speaker outputs together. Please ensure that the loudspeaker terminals have been tightened adequately to provide a good electrical connection. It is possible for the sound quality to be affected if the screw terminals are loose.

The use of A and B speakers affords you an easy and inexpensive way to create a simple multi-room system.

Note: When using two pairs of speakers, use speakers with a nominal impedance of 8 ohms.

HEAT TUNNEL VENT GRILLE

Allows cooling of internal circuitry via the heat tunnel. DO NOT OBSTRUCT!

VOLTAGE SELECT SWITCH

For servicing use only.

AC POWER SOCKET

Once all connections are complete, plug the AC power cable into an appropriate mains socket and turn the unit on.
