MOON 260D CD Player Congratulations! Thank you for selecting the MOON 260D CD Player as a part of your hi-fi reproduction system. This CD Player has been designed to offer state-of-the-art high-end performance in an elegant package, while retaining all the sonic hallmarks on which Simaudio has made its reputation. We have spared no effort to ensure that it is amongst the finest CD players available in its class.
MOON 260D CD Player Introduction Your MOON 260D CD Player incorporates many significant design features to achieve its “world class” level of performance. This is an abbreviated list of the more important features: 8 stages of DC voltage regulation. Internal upsampling which uses 24-bit/352.8kHz processing. Proprietary M-ProDrive transport mechanism with in-house developed hardware & software. BurrBrown PCM1793 high-resolution 24-bit/192-kHz Digital-to-Analog Converter and 8X oversampling digital filter.
MOON 260D CD Player Front Panel Controls Figure 1: MOON 260D Front panel The front panel will look similar to Figure 1 (above). The large digital display window indicates the track number of the compact disc currently playing (or the total number of tracks in stop mode) and time information. The “Standby” button disengages the transport mechanism from the rest of the 260D’s circuitry and turns off the digital display.
MOON 260D CD Player Rear Panel Connections Figure 2: MOON 260D Rear panel The rear panel will look similar to Figure 2 (above). On the left side is the analog audio output. There is one pair of RCA analog audio output connectors labeled “ANALOG OUT” that you should connect to a stereo analog input on your preamplifier or integrated amplifier. There is one (1) digital audio output labeled “DIGITAL OUTPUT” located directly to the right of the “ANALOG OUT”.
MOON 260D CD Player SimLink™ The SimLink™ provides communication features between various MOON components. For example, if you were to connect the 260D to the 250i via the SimLink™, pressing the X (play) button on the 260D will cause the 250i 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 260D or 250i, both units will go into “Standby” mode.
MOON 260D CD Player Remote Control Operation The MOON 260D CD Player uses the ‘CRM-2’ full-function remote control (figure 3). It operates on the Philips RC-5 communication protocol and is can be used with other Simaudio MOON components. The ‘CRM-2’ remote uses two AA batteries (included). To install them, simply slide the back plate off in the direction of the arrow; insert the batteries in the correct direction and then replace the back plate.
MOON 260D CD Player Remote Control Operation (continued) The TIME” button allows you to scroll through the four (4) different display modes for time information, as well as turn the digital display on and off. Each time you press the “display” button, the system scrolls to the next time information mode. By default, the 260D will display the elapsed time of the track currently playing. The scrolling order is as follows: 1. 2. 3. 4.
