Using this handbook

This handbook has been designed to give you all the information you

need to install, connect, set up and use the Arcam FMJ CD33 Compact

Disc player.The remote control handset supplied with the equipment

is also described.

It may be that the CD33 has been installed and set up as part of your

Hi-Fi installation by a qualified Arcam dealer. In this case, you may wish

to skip the sections of this handbook dealing with installation and

setting up the unit. Use the Contents list to guide you to the relevant

sections.

SAFETY

Safety guidelines are set out on the following page of this handbook.

Many of these items are common sense precautions, but for your own

safety, and to ensure that you do not damage the unit, we strongly

recommend that you read them.This is a class 1 product and requires

an earth connection.

DIGITAL TO ANALOGUE CONVERSION

The FMJ CD33 incorporates the latest audio up-sampling technology

to convert the 44.1kHz data from the CD up to 192kHz in 24-bit

precision using the Analog Devices AD1896 sample rate converter.

The 192kHz audio data is converted into the analogue domain using

four Wolfson Micro WM8740 24-bit stereo DACs. Left and right

output channels are made using two stereo DAC chips per channel,

both operating in dual mono configuration. The resulting four mono

signals (two for each channel) are summed together to help improve

dynamic range, linearity and therefore distortion.

Due to the higher sample rates, the digital filters roll off less

aggressively than for standard DACs, and the analogue filters have a

wider bandwidth resulting in less phase distortion, particularly for the

higher frequencies.
