MOON CD-1 CD Player

SimLink™

The SimLink™ provides communication features between various MOON components. For example, if you were to connect the CD-1to the i-1via the SimLink™, pressing the X (play) button on the CD-1will cause the i-1to automatically switch to the input labelled ‘CD’. A second feature of SimLink™ involves the “Standby” function. By pressing down and holding the “Standby” button for 2 seconds on the either the CD-1or i-1, both units will go into “Standby” mode. 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.

Operating the CD-1

We recommend that you leave your MOON CD-1CD Player powered up at all times to maintain optimal performance. In the event that you plan to be away from your home for a few days, powering off the CD Player may not be a bad idea. Once fully “broken-in”, please keep in mind that your CD-1will require several hours of playing time before it reaches its peak performance after you’ve powered it up again.

Turning on your MOON CD-1for the first time

Prior to turning this CD Player on for the first time, make sure that every cable is properly connected to avoid any problems. Then turn on your CD Player in the following manner:

1)Flick the main rocker switch labeled “POWER” to the ‘1’ (on) position on the rear panel.

2)Press the push button labeled “Standby” on the CD-1,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 CD-1on or off, you should

1)Always power up your CD-1CD Player before powering up your preamplifier and/or integrated amplifier.

2)Always power down your CD-1CD Player after powering down your preamplifier and/or integrated amplifier.
