MOON 230D CD Player
Operating the 230D
We recommend that you leave your MOON 230D CD Player powered up at all times to maintain optimal performance. In the
event that you plan to be away from your home for a few days, powering off the CD Player may not be a bad idea. Once fully
“broken-in”, please keep in mind that your 230D will require several hours of playing time before it reaches its peak
performance after you’ve powered it up again.
Making the AC Connection
Connect the supplied AC power cable to the IEC receptacle, located on the rear panel of the integrated amplifier’s chassis.
Ensure that the AC wall outlet you use has a functioning ground. For the best sonic performance, it is preferable that you
plug your MOON 230D directly into a dedicated AC outlet and avoid using an extension cord. In order to obtain the
maximum performance from your audio system, we strongly recommend that the detachable power cord not come into
physical contact with any of the interconnect and speaker cables running to and from your 230D. In the event that this can’t
be avoided, you should ensure that any cables coming into contact with each other are crossed at a ninety degree angle to
minimize the contact area.
Turning on your MOON 230D for the first time
Prior to turning this CD Player on for the first time, make sure that every cable is properly connected to avoid any problems.
Then turn on your CD Player in the following manner:
1) Flick the main rocker switch labeled “POWER” to the ‘1’ (on) position on the rear panel.
2) Press the push button labeled “Standby” on the 230D, the blue LED will confirm operation and the digital
display will show ‘no disc’. You are now ready to load a compact disc and begin listening to music.
On and Off Sequence
To avoid having any annoying noises (i.e. “thumps” and “pops”) emanate from your speakers when powering your 230D on
or off, you should
1) Always power up your 230D CD Player before powering up your preamplifier and/or integrated amplifier.
2) Always power down your 230D CD Player after powering down your preamplifier and/or integrated amplifier.
