INTRODUCTION

The Myryad MXC6000 Compact Disc
Player has been designed to offer a
combination of high quality sound
reproduction and elegant styling in keeping
with other Myryad products.

The MXC6000 is a full-function remote­controlled CD player. It has fixed-level low­impedance audio outputs to drive a Myryad
integrated amplifier or pre-amplifier - or
other high quality amplifier. In addition it
has a digital output on a single RCA phono
socket (SPDIF standard), suitable for
driving a separate DAC (Digital-to­Analogue-Converter), and a Smart My­Link® control input and output.

The MXC6000 offers a range of expansion
possibilities:

• The digital output can be used to feed
a separate DAC or digital recorder.

• The Smart My-Link® input can be
connected to a Myryad integrated
amplifier or pre-amplifier so that the
MXD6000 will automatically be
switched on or off when the amplifier
is switched on or off.

• The My-Link input/output can be
coupled to other Myryad products that
can then be remote-controlled via the
MXD6000's infra-red receiver - or vice­versa.

• When linked via the Smart My-Link®
to a compatible Myryad integrated
amplifier or preamplifier a number of
extra features become available which
make the system as a whole easier
and quicker to operate.

INSTALLATION AND
SAFETY

This CD player generates very little heat
but still requires some ventilation. Do not
place it on a rug or other soft surface into
which it could sink, obstructing the air inlets
in its underside. Do not allow any
obstruction to the ventilation slots in the
rear panel. The CD player should not be
installed in a built-in situation such as a
bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation
is provided.

CAUTION: TO PREVENT A FIRE OR
SHOCK HAZARD, DO NOT PERMIT THIS
PRODUCT TO BECOME WET. IF LIQUID
IS ACCIDENTALLY SPILLED ON IT,
IMMEDIATELY SHUT OFF ITS POWER
AT THE WALL SOCKET AND UNPLUG
THE AC POWER CORD. ALLOW
SUFFICIENT TIME FOR COMPLETE
EVAPORATION TO OCCUR BEFORE
OPERATING THE UNIT AGAIN. IF THE
LIQUID IS ANYTHING BUT WATER
AND/OR ALCOHOL, A QUALIFIED
SERVICE TECHNICIAN SHOULD
EXAMINE THE UNIT BEFORE IT IS USED
AGAIN

Do not remove the cover, or attempt to
modify or repair the CD player yourself.
Refer all servicing to a qualified technician.
The CD laser radiation is Infra-Red, so you
cannot see it. If the cover is removed for
any reason, you MUST pay attention to the
following warning.

SETTING UP YOUR
SYSTEM

REAR PANEL
CONNECTIONS

1. Power Inlet

Before making any connection, check that
the mains voltage setting printed on the
rear panel is the same as your local mains
supply.

Plug the female (socket) end of the power
cord into the power inlet on the rear of the
CD player. Plug the male (plug) end of the
cord into a "live" wall socket or a suitable
heavy-duty extension cable.

UK version: The mains plug is supplied
fitted with a 5A fuse. It should only be
replaced with a fuse of the same rating (5A)
which complies with BS1362.

2. Power Switch
Press one side of this rocker switch (the

side nearer the edge of the rear panel) to
switch the CD player ON and the other side
(towards the output sockets) to switch it
OFF. When the POWER switch is in the
OFF position all power is disconnected
from the CD player. In this condition the CD
player cannot be powered up from the front
panel or the remote control. When the
POWER switch is in the ON position (and
the power cord correctly inserted and
plugged in to a live wall socket) the CD
player will power up in standby mode (see
FRONT PANEL CONTROLS, STANDBY,
page 4).

It is recommended that the POWER switch
is turned OFF if the CD player is not going
to be used for an extended period of time.

3. Digital output

This is a serial electrical digital
output to the “SPDIF” standard. It should
be connected via a suitable interconnect to
the SPDIF input of a separate DAC (Digital­to-Analogue-Converter), digital pre-amp or
digital recorder. The cable should be of
standard 75Ω impedance for best
performance.

4. My-Link input/output

When this CD player is used in a system
with other Myryad products (e.g. MX­Series, M-Series, Cameo or Z-Series), all
may be joined together via the My-Link.
The My-Link is a communications bus that
allows all the linked components to operate
together as a system and distributes the
remote commands received by any one to
each of the others. The simplest function
provided by the My-Link bus is that all
linked units will switch into or out of standby
mode when the amplifier’s front panel or
remote control standby key is pressed.

Use a short RCA-to-RCA (phono-to-phono)
interconnect cable to connect from the
MY-LINK IN socket on the MXC6000 to the
MY-LINK OUT socket on the amplifier. A
second cable may then be run from the
MY-LINK OUT socket on MXC6000 to the
MY-LINK IN socket on a Myryad tuner –
“daisy-chain” fashion. Further compatible
Myryad products can be linked in the same
way, running from the MY-LINK OUT
socket on the tuner. Inexpensive
interconnects may be used as the My-Link
bus carries only control signals, not audio,
so these cables have no effect on sound
quality.

When other Myryad products equipped with
Smart My-Link® (e.g., MX-Series, Cameo
or Z-Series) are connected via the My-Link
many more powerful system features are
available (see page 8).

5. Line outputs

These outputs are suited to the “CD” or
other “Line” inputs (e.g. TUNER or AUX) of
any integrated amplifier or pre-amplifier.
Never connect to the amplifier’s PHONO
inputs.
