MOON 750 D
SimLink™
The SimLink™ provides communication features between various MOON components. For example, if you were to connect the 750D DAC / CD Transport to the 700i Integrated Amplifier via the SimLink™, pressing the X (play) button on the 750D would make the integrated amplifier automatically switch to it’s designated input for the DAC / CD Transport (Please refer to the 700i owner’s manual for more information if applicable). If you were to adjust the brightness level of the large digital display window using the “Display” button on the 750D, the brightness level of the 700i display will automatically adjust to the same brightness level as that of the 750D. Conversely, since the SimLink™ is a true
A third feature of SimLink™ involves the “Standby” function. By pressing down and holding the “Standby” button for 2 seconds on the 750D, all other MOON components connected via the SimLink will go into “Standby” mode along with the 750D. The same logic applies when switching from “Standby” to active mode.
The connection rules for the SimLink™ are very basic. You must always connect the supplied cable between one component’s “SimLink™ Out” jack and another component’s “SimLink™ In” jack. If you inadvertently connect the cable between either two “SimLink™ In” or two “SimLink™ Out” jacks, the SimLink™ communication feature will not function. Also, there is no master component in a SimLink™ chain; no one particular component operates as the main communications controller.–

2)Press the push button labeled “Standby” on the 750D, the blue LED will confirm operation and the digital display will show ‘no disc’. You are now ready to load a compact disc and begin listening to music.
On and Off Sequence
To avoid having any annoying noises (i.e. “thumps” and “pops”) emanate from your speakers when powering your 750D on or off, you should
1)Always power up your 750D DAC / CD Transport before powering up your preamplifier and/or integrated amplifier.
2)Always power down your 750D after powering down your preamplifier and/or integrated amplifier.
