MOON CD-1 CD Player
SimLink™
The SimLink™ provides communication features between various MOON components. For example, if you were to connect
the CD-1 to the i-1 via the SimLink™, pressing the
X (play) button on the CD-1 will cause the i-1 to automatically switch to
the input labelled ‘CD’. A second feature of SimLink™ involves the “Standby” function. By pressing down and holding the
“Standby” button for 2 seconds on the either the CD-1 or i-1, both units will go into “Standby” mode. The same logic applies
when switching from “Standby” to active mode.
The connection rules for the SimLink™ are very basic. You must always connect the supplied cable between one component’s
“SimLink™ Out” jack and another component’s “SimLink™ In” jack. If you inadvertently connect the cable between either two
“SimLink™ In” or two “SimLink™ Out” jacks, the SimLink™ communication feature will not function. Also, there is no master
component in a SimLink™ chain; no one particular component operates as the main communications controller.
Operating the CD-1
We recommend that you leave your MOON CD-1 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 CD-1 will require several hours of playing time before it reaches its peak
performance after you’ve powered it up again.
Turning on your MOON CD-1 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 CD-1, 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 CD-1 on
or off, you should
1) Always power up your CD-1 CD Player before powering up your preamplifier and/or integrated amplifier.
2) Always power down your CD-1 CD Player after powering down your preamplifier and/or integrated amplifier.
