Installation
Positioning the unit
Connecting to a power supply
Always place the CD player on a level, firm surface. Placing
your player on a set of dedicated sorbothane isolation feet
will isolate the unit from its surroundings as well as absorbing
the vibrations created within the player itself. You will generally
hear some sonic improvements, which makes this an extremely
cost-effective upgrade.
Wrong plug?
Check that the plug supplied with the unit fits your supply and
that your mains supply voltage agrees with the voltage setting
(120V or 230V) indicated on the rear panel of the unit.
If your mains supply voltage or mains plug is different, consult
your Arcam dealer or Arcam Customer Support on +44
(0)1223 203203.
Connecting to other equipment
Mains lead
Interconnect cables
The appliance is normally supplied with a moulded mains plug
already fitted to the lead. If for any reason the plug needs to
be removed, it must be disposed of immediately and securely,
as it is a potential shock hazard when inserted into the mains
socket. Should you require a new mains lead, contact your
Arcam dealer.
Interconnecting cables are not supplied with this CD player. We
recommend high quality cables as inferior quality cables will
degrade the sound quality of your system. Please contact your
Arcam dealer for details of suitable cables.
Audio outputs
Connect these to your amplifier’s CD or any other line-level
input using suitable high quality interconnect cables. Ensure
that the left and right audio outputs from the CD player are
connected to the same left and right inputs on your amplifier.
Plugging in
Push the plug (IEC line socket) of the power cable supplied with
the unit into the socket (POWER INLET) in the back of the unit.
Make sure it is pushed in firmly.
Coaxial digital output
Put the plug on the other end of the cable into your power
supply socket and switch the socket on.
Use this socket if you are using a separate digital to analogue
converter (DAC) or digital recorder. Connect to the DAC or
recorder’s digital input using a suitable 75Ω screened cable.
CAUTION: Never connect the digital output socket to a
conventional audio input.
Optical digital output
Use this socket if you are using a separate DAC or digital
recorder with an optical connection. Connect using a suitable
optical cable.
Remote input
It is not necessary to make any connection to this socket in
normal use. The connection is for ease of installation to multi-
room remote control systems and is suitable for modulated
IR commands. Contact your multi-room installer for more
information.

Continual improvement policy
Arcam has a policy of continual improvement for its products.
This means that designs and specifications are subject to
change without notice.
Radio interference
The CD62 is a digital audio device which has been designed to
very high standards of electromagnetic compatibility.
The CD player and DAC generate, and can radiate RF (radio
frequency) energy. In some cases this can cause interference
with FM and AM radio reception. If this is the case, keep the CD
player and its connecting cables as far from the tuner and its
aerials as possible. Connecting the CD player and the tuner to
different mains sockets can also help to reduce interference.
EC COUNTRIES -– This product has been designed to comply
with directive 89/ 336/ EEC.
USA – This product complies with FCC requirements.
Laser radiation
If an Arcam CD player is operated whilst the outer casing is
removed, invisible laser radiation could cause eye damage.
