We hope that you will appreciate the results and enjoy many years of listening pleasure from it. Key to the abilities of the 740C is ATFTM (Adaptive Time Filtering) an upsampling process developed in conjunction with Anagram Technologies of Switzerland. This system intelligently interpolates 16 bit/44. 1kHz CD (or other) audio data to 24bit/384kHz through the use of a 32 bit Analog Devices Black Fin DSP (Digital Signal Processor) for the very best sound quality. [. . . ] Toslink Optical Digital - Use a high quality TOSLINK fibre optic interconnect cable designed specifically for audio use. Only one of the two input types for each input should be used at a time. Once you have completed all connections to the amplifier, plug the AC power cable into an appropriate mains socket then switch on. Your compact disc player is now ready for use. 3 IR (Infra Red) Emitter In 8 Allows modulated IR commands from multi-room systems or IR repeater systems to be received by the amplifier. Commands received here are not looped out of the Control Bus. Refer to the `Custom Installation' section for more information. Line Output Use good quality RCA/Phono interconnect cables from these sockets to any line level input on your amplifier. 4 Control Bus In - Allows un-modulated commands from multi-rooms systems or other components to be received by the unit. Out - Loop out for control bus commands to another unit. 5 Digital outputs The digital outputs allow a separate DAC or digital recording device to be connected. The sophisticated DSP software in the 740C even allows these outputs to be set to output raw (pass through) or upsampled data independently from the main audio outputs. Refer to the `CD player setup' section for more information. S/P DIF CO-axial Digital - To obtain best results, use a high quality 75 ohm digital RCA interconnect cable (not one designed for normal audio use). Toslink Optical Digital - Use a high quality TOSLINK fibre optic interconnect cable designed specifically for audio use. Only one of the two output types should be used at a time.

Standby is a low power mode where the power consumption is less than 10 Watts. The unit should be left in Standby mode when not in use. 7 Open/Close Allows you to open and close the disc tray thus making it possible to load a disc. Pressing Play will also close the tray and start the CD. 8 2 Play/Pause Menu Plays the disc and pauses play. Press to scroll through the 740C menu screens.

Also used to toggle through the options on selected menu screens. Please refer to the `CD player setup' section of this manual for more information. Skip/Scan Allows for skipping between tracks and also searching within tracks. Press once to skip a track, press and hold to search within a track. 4 Infrared sensor Receives IR commands from the supplied Azur remote control. A clear unobstructed line of sight between the remote control and the sensor is required. 5 Disc tray Compact Disc tray. Use the Open/Close button to activate. 6 Display LCD used to display upsampling rate, CD track number, elapsed/remaining time and other CD functions. Please refer to the `CD player setup' section of this manual for more information. 6 azur Remote control The 740C is supplied with an Azur Navigator remote control that operates both this CD player and other Cambridge Audio Azur amplifiers.
