Cyrus DAD7 CAUTIONS

Your Cyrus DAD7 is factory set to operate from a fixed
mains supply voltage, which is marked on a label at the
rear of the unit. Before connecting, check that this voltage
is the same as your mains supply, i.e.

230V Products Voltage Range 220V-240V
115V Products Voltage Range 110V-120V
100V Products Voltage Range 100V

UNPACKING

Always follow the instruction handbook and retain it in a
safe place for future reference. Before proceeding with
installing the Cyrus DAD7, ensure that the following
items are included in the accessory box:

• Instruction Manual

• Power Cable

• Remote Handset

• Disc Clamp

• Guarantee Card

After removing these items, please retain the packing for
future use.

LOCATION

Install the Cyrus DAD7 in a well ventilated location where
it will not be exposed to high temperature or humidity.
Avoid installing the DAD7 in a location which is exposed

to direct rays of sun, or near to hot appliances or radiators.
Placing and using the DAD7 for long periods on heat­generating sources will affect performance and may
damage the cabinet. Installation in a damp or dusty
environment may result in malfunction or accident.

RE-LOCATING

The Cyrus DAD7 is supplied ready for use in your
location. Care has been taken to ensure that the power
supply requirements are correctly set. Consult your Cyrus
distributor to arrange for conversion of your DAD7 should
you move to another area with a different mains voltage.

PRECAUTIONS REGARDING INSTALLATION

It is important not to let any liquid or foreign object fall
into this unit. When routing the power cord avoid running
it over or near sharp objects.
Exercise particular care when the dust cover is open to
avoid any contact with the sensitive optical components.
If the Cyrus DAD7 is not to be used for a long period of
time, unplug the unit from the mains power supply.
This unit contains no user serviceable parts, therefore

never

remove any panels from the unit or attempt to
service the unit. In the unlikely event of failure, please
refer to qualified service personnel.

Cyrus DAD7 INSTALLATION

POSITIONING THE UNIT

The Cyrus DAD7 may be positioned as a free standing
unit or alongside a partnering Cyrus Dacmaster or Cyrus
PSX-R where used. Never stand the unit on top of a power
amplifier, which may generate heat. The DAD7 must
always sit horizontally on a flat firm surface. (A Cyrus
Isoplat is ideal for this purpose).

Ensure that there is enough clearance above the DAD7 to
allow access to the dust cover when fully open.

CONNECTING THE UNIT

The Mains Supply

The moulded IEC connector of the mains lead supplied
should be plugged in to the power inlet
the unit. The mains fuse

6

is located on the rear panel

5

on the rear of

next to the power switch. It must only be replaced with the
following types :

UK/Europe - 230V T100mA/20mm
N.America - 115V T200mA/20mm
Japan - 100V T250mA/20mm

In the U.K., the Cyrus DAD7 comes with the mains plug
fitted. In the unlikely event that the plug fuse should need
replacing ensure that it is only replaced with a 3 Amp
Fuse.

MC-BUS System Connection

This is an optional connection which enhances and
expands the functional capability of specific Cyrus
products, including your Cyrus DAD7. Through the MC­BUS and certain ancillary equipment a highly functional
integrated system with full remote control may be set up.
This feature is usable if you also own a Cyrus III

amplifier, Cyrus pre-amplifier, or the Cyrus Systems
Controller.

Connecting to an Amplifier

A pair of quality RCA interconnects are supplied with the
DAD7. Connect one end of each lead to the audio output
sockets of the Cyrus DAD7

2

and the other end to the
corresponding input of the amplifier or receiver. Amplifier
inputs that are suitable for this purpose are CD or AUX
inputs. DO NOT connect the DAD7 to the PHONO input
sockets of the amplifier, as this could damage your
amplifier/speakers.

INSTALLATION Cyrus DAD7

Upgrading with a

Cyrus PSX-R

Intelligent Power

Supply (Optional)

When upgrading with a PSX-R Intelligent power supply,
only one connection is necessary to the DAD7. The
Cannon connector fitted to the umbilical cable on the

PSX-R must be securely connected to the socket marked
PSX-R

4

on the rear of the DAD7. When correctly fitted,

the connector will latch into place in the socket. Note that
when a PSX-R is in use, both the PSX-R power supply

and

the DAD7 will require connection to the mains supply.

Connecting to an External D/A Converter (Optional)

The DAD7 also supplies a digital output signal which can
drive an external D/A converter if desired, such as the
Cyrus Dacmaster. Using a single RCA interconnect
designed for digital signals, connect from the socket
marked SPDIF OUT

1

to an input of the D/A converter

(the CD input is recommended for best performance when
using the Cyrus Dacmaster). Ensure that you use a cable
specifically designed for use with digital data, rather than
an audio phono cable. Use of the wrong type of cable may
cause a mismatch between components and degrade sound
quality. Referring now to the D/A converter handbook,
connect the D/A converter audio outputs to a suitable
input of the amplifier.
