Introduction

Thank you for purchasing this Cambridge Audio Topaz SR10 Stereo Receiver. We are confident that you will enjoy many years of listening pleasure from it. Like all Cambridge Audio products, the SR10 adheres to three core principles – stunning performance, ease of use and incredible value.

Our usual attention to detail is present with a completely discrete high power bipolar transistor based power amplifier, very quiet speed controlled fan cooling and a custom low flux toroidal transformer for audiophile audio performance.

The built-in FM/AM tuner features RDS for station name display on FM stations that support this function.

The unit can support a wide range of external sources and a front panel MP3/Portable Media Player input has been fitted which can be used with the headphone or line-level outputs of most portable players.

The supplied remote control can control this receiver and its built in tuner plus the matching CD5 or CD10 CD players if required.

Part of our new Topaz range this product also features a new casework design with braced front panel, rigid wrap-over lid assembly and carefully designed mechanicals for resonance control.

Your receiver can only be as good as the system it is connected to. Please do not compromise on the quality of your source equipment, speakers or cabling. Naturally, we particularly recommend source and speaker models from the Cambridge Audio range, which have been designed to the same exacting standards as this product. Your dealer can also supply excellent quality Cambridge Audio interconnects to ensure your system realises its full potential.

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