FM Antenna Options

The wire antenna supplied with
MusicWorks will be sufficient for
reception of local stations in most
areas with high signal strength. If
you are in a difficult reception area,
such as a rural area far away from
the transmitters, or an urban area
surrounded by tall buildings, you
may need to connect to an outdoor
antenna system or to cable TV line.
MusicWorks has an “F”-style
connector jack. Use it to connect an
FM antenna. (Contact your cable
company to see if they include the
FM band; some cable operators
purposely block FM to reduce TV
interference.) Refer to the diagram on
the previous page.

AM Antenna

MusicWorks has an efficient internal
AM antenna. No outside antenna is
needed.

Main Ouput

Connect 

MusicWorks’ MAIN OUTPUT

to the input of the powered speakers.
The signal at this output is a mix of
the primary listening source (as
adjusted by 

MusicWorks controls),

and the signal fed to the COMPUTER
MIX input (without alteration).

A miniplug inserted into the front
panel headphone jack automatically
turns off the main output.

Note: It is not necessary to use the
in-line volume control cable included
with some Cambridge SoundWorks
speaker systems. The cable included
with the 

MusicWorks may be

substituted.

Auxiliary Input

MusicWorks features a selectable
AUX input (two RCA-type jacks; one
for the right channel, one for the left
channel). Use this input to listen to
external audio sources through your
MusicWorks, such as a cassette tape,
MiniDisc, DAT player or TV sound.

Refer to the diagram on the

previous page.

Record Output

MusicWorks features a fixed-level
output for tape recording (two RCA-
type jacks; one for the right channel,
one for the left channel). A signal
from the selected source is automati-
cally sent to these jacks. The REC
output signal is not affected by
volume and tone adjustments. The
signal from the Computer Mix input
is not available for recording.

Computer Mix Input

MusicWorks features a constant-level
mixing input (a 3.5 mm stereo
minijack). Connecting a personal
computer (or other audio source) to
this input lets you mix its alert
signals or output with 

MusicWorks’

selected audio source. The COM-
PUTER MIX input lets 

operate as a convenient CD player/
radio in an office setting, while also
reproducing the office computer’s
sound.

Since the Computer Mix input is

not affected by 

MusicWorks’ volume

or tone settings, the external audio
source should have an output level
control, so you can balance its output
with the selected audio source. You
cannot record from the COMPUTER
MIX input.
