Introduction

Thank you for purchasing your Sonata AR30/DR30. We are confident that you will enjoy many years of listening pleasure from it. Like all Cambridge Audio products, the Sonata AR30/DR30 adheres to three core principles – stunning performance, ease of use and incredible value.

The Sonata AR30 and DR30 were jointly developed to offer truly uncompromised audiophile quality audio in a small convenient and stylish package. The Sonata AR30 is a stereo receiver featuring high quality amplification with an in-built FM/AM tuner and supplied DD30 docking station for iPod. The US version of the AR30 additionally features a SIRIUS-Ready socket to allow satellite radio to be added in that country (requires a SIRIUS subscription).

The Sonata DR30 is an alternative stereo receiver featuring the same amplification and DD30 iPod dock but with a DAB/FM tuner for countries which broadcast DAB digital radio.

The supplied remote can control all of the Sonata AR30/DR30’s functions and those of an iPod when docked in the matching DD30 dock (supplied).

The audio circuitry draws on all our previous experience and features a true discrete high power amplifier, linear power supply and low flux toroidal transformer. Alarm and Sleep timer functions are available and you may choose to wake to the Tuner or attached iPod. A temporary aerial is supplied to get you going, however the use of appropriate external AM/FM/DAB aerials is strongly recommended to really get the best from your Sonata AR30/DR30.

Ultimate sound quality depends on the whole of your system, naturally we particularly recommend speakers from the Cambridge Audio Sirocco range as these have been designed for a perfect acoustic and aesthetic match. Your dealer can also supply excellent quality Cambridge Audio interconnects to ensure your system realises its full potential.

Thanks for taking the time to read this manual; we do recommend you keep it for future reference.
