MOON SuperNova CD Player

SimLink™

The SimLink™ provides communication features between various MOON components. For example, if you were to connect the SuperNova CD Player to the i-7Integrated Amplifier via the SimLink™, pressing the X (play) button on the SuperNova would make the integrated amplifier automatically switch to it’s designated input for the CD Player (Please refer to the i-7owner’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 SuperNova, the brightness level of the i-7’s display will automatically adjust to the same brightness level as that of the SuperNova. Conversely, since the SimLink™ is a true bi-directional connection, adjusting the i-7’s brightness level will automatically adjust the brightness level of the SuperNova.

A third feature of SimLink™ involves the “Standby” function. By pressing down and holding the “Standby” button for 2 seconds on the SuperNova, all other MOON components connected via the SimLink will go into “Standby” mode along with the SuperNova. 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 SuperNova

We recommend that you leave your MOON SuperNova CD 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 SuperNova will require several hours of playing time before it reaches its peak performance after you’ve powered it up again.

Turning on your MOON SuperNova for 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 SuperNova, 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 SuperNova on or off, you should

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

2)Always power down your SuperNova after powering down your preamplifier and/or integrated amplifier.
