BLUETOOTH ANTENNA

Used for wireless streaming bluetooth (A2DP/AVRCP) audio capability directly from 

most phones, tablests and laptops. See later section for details.

 LOUDSPEAKER TERMINALS

Two sets of loudspeaker terminals are available, A (main loudspeaker terminals, top row) 

and B (secondary switchable loudspeaker terminals, bottom row). Connect the wires 

from your left channel loudspeaker to the Left positive and negative terminals, and the 

wires from the right channel loudspeaker to the Right positive and negative terminals.  

In each case, the red terminal is the positive output and the black terminal is the 

negative output.
Care should be taken to ensure no stray strands of wire are shorting speaker 

outputs together. Please ensure that the loudspeaker terminals have been tightened 

adequately to provide a good electrical connection. It is possible for the sound quality 

to be affected if the screw terminals are loose.
The use of A and B speakers affords you an easy and inexpensive way to create a 

simple multi-room system.
Note: When using two pairs of speakers, use speakers with a nominal impedance 

of 

16

 ohms.

10

 HEAT TUNNEL VENT GRILLE

Allows cooling of internal circuitry via the heat tunnel. DO NOT OBSTRUCT!

11

 VOLTAGE SELECT SWITCH

For servicing use only.

 AC POWER SOCKET

Once all connections are complete, plug the AC power cable into an appropriate 

mains socket and turn the unit on.

 DIGITAL INPUTS 

(AXR100 ONLY)

Toslink and S/P DIF co-axial digital inputs.

Note:

 To obtain the best results from your system we recommend using only high 

quality Cambridge Audio interconnects. This will ensure that you hear your system 

as we designed it. Please ask you dealer for details.

2

 AUDIO INPUTS

These inputs are suitable for any ‘line level’ source equipment such as the audio 

outputs of CD players, BD/DVD players, etc.

3

 PHONO INPUT

This input has a built in phono stage. Record players fitted with Phono Cartridges 

of the Moving Magnet (MM) or high output Moving Coil (MC) type (between 2-6mV 

output and 30-50k load impedance) can be used. Low output Moving Coil types 

(<1mV and usually 10-1000 ohm load impedance) cannot be directly connected 

and will require a matching transformer or head amp. Please consult your dealer 

for details. The ‘ground’ terminals on both the record player and the 

AXR

 should be 

connected (where possible) with a ground wire for lowest noise/hum pickup.

4

 REC OUT

Connect to the recording input of a tape deck, CD recorder input, etc.

5

 SUB-OUT

For optional connection to the input socket of an active subwoofer if desired.

6

 AM/FM ANTENNA

Tuner aerial connections for picking up radio signals. Refer to the ‘Connections’ 

section of this manual. For permanent use, outdoor AM/FM aerials are highly 

recommended.

7

 SERVICE PORT

For servicing use only. Do not connect anything here as it may result in damage.
