1. 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
Ohm 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 Phono pre-amp.
Note: 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.
Due to stray magnetic fields, turntables should not be located in close proximity due to possible interference.
4. REC OUT - Connect to the recording input of a CD recorder input, tape deck or other compatible recording device etc.
This output provides a constant high level output that does not fluctuate with the volume of the main unit. For this reason, the AXR85/100 cannot be
used as a Preamplifier only and the Rec Out can’t be connected to a Subwoofer.
5. SUB OUT - Connection to the input socket of an active subwoofer.
Note: There is a 2nd order low pass filter of 200Hz applied to the Sub Out, which will filter out frequencies above 200Hz.
The frequency of the connected speakers is not adjusted when the Sub Out is in use, they will still be sent the full frequency range.
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 to the unit.
