Cambridge Audio DAB500 Setting Up, Connecting To An Amplifier, Connecting To Digital Devices

DAB500

SETTING UP

This section provides information on connecting your DAB500 to other hi-fi equipment and connecting an aerial. All components must be switched off when connecting the DAB500.

CONNECTING TO AN AMPLIFIER

The signal from your DAB500 must be passed to an amplifier, which then feeds loudspeakers to create sound.

Connect a high quality interconnect cable to the DAB500's "Output" sockets on the rear panel of the DAB500 - white/black to the "L" output and the red to the "R" output.

Connect the other end of the cable to your amplifier's "Tuner" inputs, again making sure the white/black plug goes to the "L" input and the red to the "R" input.

CONNECTING AN ADDITIONAL TUNER OR AUXILIARY SOURCE

You can connect your old FM/AM tuner, or another auxiliary source, to your amplifier through the DAB500 to reduce connections to your amplifier.

Locate the "Input" sockets on the rear panel of the DAB500 and the "Output" sockets on the auxiliary device.

Using a high quality interconnect cable, connect the "L" sockets to the white/black plugs and the "R" sockets to the red plugs.

The auxiliary device signal will now be passed through the analogue outputs to your amplifier when your DAB500 is switched off.

CONNECTING TO DIGITAL DEVICES

The DAB500 is equipped to provide a high quality digital audio output for connection to digital loudspeakers, amplifiers and other digital devices such as a MiniDisc or CD Recorder featuring the appropriate SPDIF digital input connector.

Connect the SPDIF sockets on the DAB500 to the "Digital-in" socket on your digital device using a high quality digital cable.

Connect either the optical or phono connection NOT both.

CONNECTING YOUR AERIAL

You need to connect either the supplied indoor aerial or other aerial to receive radio broadcasts.

Locate the aerial socket on the rear panel of the DAB500. Insert the aerial into the socket.

If using the indoor aerial, attach the main run horizontally to a wall and extend the arms vertically, forming a sideways figure T (see diagram below). Please see the section later in the manual, "Improving Your Reception", if you find reception is poor or no stations are found.
