Thank you for purchasing this Cambridge Audio Topaz SR10 Stereo
Receiver. We are confident that you will enjoy many years of listening
pleasure from it. Like all Cambridge Audio products, the SR10 adheres to
three core principles – stunning performance, ease of use and incredible
value.

Our usual attention to detail is present with a completely discrete high
power bipolar transistor based power amplifier, very quiet speed
controlled fan cooling and a custom low flux toroidal transformer for
audiophile audio performance.

The built-in FM/AM tuner features RDS for station name display on FM
stations that support this function.

The unit can support a wide range of external sources and a front panel
MP3/Portable Media Player input has been fitted which can be used with
the headphone or line-level outputs of most portable players.

The supplied remote control can control this receiver and its built in tuner
plus the matching CD5 or CD10 CD players if required.

Part of our new Topaz range this product also features a new casework
design with braced front panel, rigid wrap-over lid assembly and carefully
designed mechanicals for  resonance control. 

Your receiver can only be as good as the system it is connected to. Please
do not compromise on the quality of your source equipment, speakers or
cabling. Naturally, we particularly recommend source and speaker models
from the Cambridge Audio range, which have been designed to the same
exacting standards as this product. Your dealer can also supply excellent
quality Cambridge Audio interconnects to ensure your system realises its
full potential.

Thank you for taking the time to read this manual; we recommend you
keep it for future reference.

Matthew Bramble
Cambridge Audio Technical Director
and the SR10 design team
