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.
