Arcam Delta 70.2 - Manual (Page 2)

Introduction
The Arcam Delta Compact Disc playing systems have been
designed to provide the best possible sound quality from Compact Disc.
Combine the Delta 70.2 CD player or Delta 170 CD transport
with an Arcam Delta range amplifier, tuner and digital to analogue
converter, plus a pair of Arcam loudspeakers to complete a formidable,
British made hi-fi system.
The Delta 70.2 CD player is a direct development of the
widely acclaimed Delta 70 and offers the excellent sound quality and
comprehensive range of features expected of a machine with such a
pedigree. Mew features include twin transformer power supplies, an
improved display (which can be switched off or dimmed) plus a remote
control handset which includes volume and direct track access facilities.
The Delta 170 CD transport is a top quality CD player
without the D/A converters and analogue output stages. It is perhaps
analogous to a top quality turntable motor unit to which an arm and
cartridge of the user's choice are added. It is simply designed to provide
a digital output signal of the highest quality and integrity. The Delta 170
must be used with an outboard D/A converter or with DAC equipped
amplifiers or pre-amplifiers.
With the exception of the remote control volume facility, the
Delta 170 includes all the features found on the Delta 70.2. To obtain
the very best performance the Delta 170 also includes a CDM1 Mk 2 die
cast transport and twin digital outputs (one optical and one co-axial), fed
from their own transformers and power supplies. To ensure the best
possible isolation from external vibration the Delta 170 comes complete
with a set of AudioQuest sorbothane feet.
Please study this manual carefully to ensure you get the best
results from your CD machine. Remember that your dealer is there to
help you. He has a full knowledge of all Arcam products and
considerable experience of their use in a variety of systems. If, however,
he is unable to answer your query then please do not hesitate to contact
us at the factory.
Important Notice
1 Prior to installation it is essential to remove the two large
metal transit screws which protrude from the base of your machine.
These can be safely stored in the holes provided on the back panel of
both the Delta 70.2 and the Delta 170.
DO NOT transport either machine without re-fitting and
tightening up the transit screws.
2 Please retain the carton and all packing materials (including
the transit screws) provided with your player so that it may be re-packed
correctly if it ever becomes necessary to transport the unit or to return it
for service.
3 If servicing is required then the equipment should be fitted
with its transit screws, properly packed and returned to the dealer from
whom it was purchased. It is essential to include a covering letter, giving
your name and address and a brief but thorough description of the fault.
