Thank you for purchasing your Cambridge Audio One+! We hope that you enjoy many
years of listening pleasure from it. Like all Cambridge Audio products, One+ adheres
to three core principles – stunning performance, ease of use and incredible value.

One+ has been developed to offer uncompromised audiophile sound quality in a small,
convenient and stylish package with everything you need from one compact unit.

One+ comprises a high quality CD player, amplifier, DAB and FM tuner, memory card
interfaces, and iPod functionality, drawing on our 40 years of experience in designing
hi-fi.

Compatible with SD and SDHC cards and USB memory sticks of up to 8Gb, One+ can
play back MP3 or WMA files both from these and CD-R/-RW compact discs.

A supplied DD30 iPod dock is compatible with all current iPod models such as iPod
nano (1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th generation), iPod (4th generation, photo and 5th
generation), iPod classic and iPod touch (1st and 2nd generation) and a front panel
MP3 input and two rear Auxiliary inputs mean that you can even connect other MP3
players, games consoles and other devices.

The supplied Navigator remote provides simple access to all features and offers control
of your iPod when connected to the supplied dock.

Ultimate sound quality depends on the whole of your system, naturally we particularly
recommend speakers from the Cambridge Audio Sirocco range as these have been
designed for a perfect acoustic and aesthetic match. 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.

FCC regulations

NOTE: THE MANUFACTURER IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY RADIO OR TV
INTERFERENCE CAUSED BY UNAUTHORIZED MODIFICATIONS TO THIS EQUIPMENT.
SUCH MODIFICATIONS COULD VOID THE USER AUTHORITY TO OPERATE THE
EQUIPMENT.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits

are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there
is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.

If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged
to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

- Re-orient or relocate the receiving antenna.

- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the

receiver is connected.

- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Ventilation

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. Any space open at the back (such as a dedicated
equipment rack) is fine however. 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.

Power sources

The unit should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the
marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power-supply to your home, consult your
product dealer or local power company.

Important safety instructions (continued)

This unit has been designed to be left in Standby mode when not in use as this will
increase the life of the unit (this is true with all electronic equipment). To turn the unit
off, switch off at the rear panel. If you do not intend to use this unit for a long period
of time, unplug it from the mains socket.

Overloading

Do not overload wall outlets or extension cord as this can result in a risk of fire or
electric shock. Overloaded AC outlets, extension cords, frayed power cords, damaged
or cracked wire insulation, and broken plugs are dangerous. They may result in a shock
or fire hazard.

Be sure to insert each power cord securely. To prevent hum and noise, do not bundle
the interconnect leads with the power cord or speaker leads.

Cleaning

To clean the unit, wipe its case with a dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use any cleaning fluids
containing alcohol, ammonia or abrasives. Do not spray an aerosol at or near the unit.

Plug Fitting Instructions (UK Only)

The cord supplied with this appliance is factory fitted with a UK mains plug fitted with
a 13 amp fuse inside. If it is necessary to change the fuse, it is important that a 13
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 standard 13 amp (BS 1363) plug is used, a 13 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.

Connections (continued)

Note: Do not plug in the mains power lead or turn the unit on until all connections
have been made.

Loudspeakers

Check the impedance of your speakers. Speakers with an impedance of between 4
and 8 Ohms are recommended.

The coloured speaker terminals are positive (+) and the black speaker terminals are
negative (-). Make sure correct polarity is maintained at each speaker connector or
the sound can become weak and “phasey” with little bass.

Prepare the speaker cords for connection by stripping off approximately 10mm (3/8”)
