Power On/Off

Switches the unit on and off.

AC power socket

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.

IR (Infra Red) Emitter In

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.

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.

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.

1

&      Digital Inputs 1 / 2

The digital inputs allow the digital outputs of other source components
to be connected to the 740C. The 740C can then act as a very high
quality upsampling DAC, improving the sound quality of the connected
sources. Two digital inputs allow two external sources to be connected:

S/P DIF CO-axial Digital - 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 input types for each input should be used at a time.

Line Output

Use good quality RCA/Phono interconnect cables from these sockets to
any line level input on your amplifier.
