These CD players have been designed to be upgradeable
to a higher specification player in the Arcam range. For
example, the CD72 can be upgraded to CD82; the CD82 can
be upgraded to CD92. Your Arcam dealer can give you more
information on this upgrade path.

CD72 player
This has a Delta-Sigma DAC (Digital to Analogue Converter) with
24-bit filtering.
CD82 player
The CD82 uses two 24-bit 192kHz capable Wolfson DACs in
a dual-mode configuration with one DAC chip used for the left
channel and one DAC chip used for the right channel.
The player uses high quality Burr Brown op-amps in the output
stage and the DAC module includes a high stability Class 1
crystal oscillator.

Installation
Remote input connection
Positioning the unit
It is not necessary to make any connection to this socket in
normal use. This 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.
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. Your Arcam dealer can
demonstrate this to ou.
Connecting to a power supply
Wrong plug?
Connecting to other equipment
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.
Interconnect cables
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.
If your mains supply voltage or mains plug is different, consult
your Arcam dealer or Arcam Customer Support on +44
(0)1223 203203.
Mains lead
Audio outputs
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.
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.
CD82 only: The second set of sockets can be used to
connect to a second amplifier set up for multi-room use.
Plugging in
Coaxial digital output
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.
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.
Put the plug on the other end of the cable into your power
supply socket and switch the socket on.
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.

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 CD72 and CD82 players are digital audio devices which
have been designed to very high standards of electromagnetic
compatibility.
Both CD players and DACs 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 -– These products have been designed to
comply with directive 89/336/EEC.
USA – These products comply 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.
