Cantata Link
The Cantata Link is a cable which connects the Cantata Music Center and Cantata C50 Amplifier together
activating several exclusive integration features between the two devices. When using the devices together, we
strongly recommend that the Cantata Link cable be used.
Note: Use only the supplied cable to connect the devices together. If a replacement cable is required, or a
different length is needed, please contact your dealer or Resolution Audio.
With the cable in place, the following features are activated:
1. Centralized remote control functions – The Music Center takes over the task of handling remote control com-
mands, allowing the C50 to be placed out of sight if desired.
2. Mute – Mutes speaker-level outputs in the amplifier.
3. Display Brightness – Changes display brightness on both devices.
4. Music Center Input – If you have the Cantata Music Center attached to the C50, choosing a different music
source on the Music Center can automatically switch the C50 to the input being used for the Music Center. (See
Music Center Input below.)
5. The Cantata Music Center bypasses its internal volume control, setting its output to maximum. Volume
control is handled exclusively by the C50 when the Cantata Link is detected. While changes in volume level are
displayed on both devices, only the output level of the amplifier is changed. Note that if the Cantata Link cable is
not present, the remote control will affect volume level in both units.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Use of the Cantata Link will set the Cantata Music Center output to full volume and
shift speaker volume control to the C50 amplifier. If you have an additional amplifier connected to the Music
Center, this will result in full-volume output being sent to the other amplifier.
Music Center Input
To make use of the automatic source-switching function, the amplifier must be configured for the input con-
nected to the Music Center. When input sources on the Music Center are selected, the amplifier will switch to
the dedicated input automatically.
To set the Music Center Input, press and hold the respective input button on the front of the amplifier for 5 sec-
onds. The source letter on the display converts to upper case indicating that this is now the Music Center Input.
This setting may be changed to a different input at any time.
This setting is saved when the unit is placed in standby mode.
