Using this handbook
This handbook has been designed to give you all the 
information you need to install, connect, set up and use 
the Arcam CD192 compact disc player. The CR-314 remote 
control handset supplied with this equipment is also 
described.
Safety
Safety guidelines are set out on the inside front cover of 
this handbook. 
Many of these items are common sense precautions, but for 
your own safety, and to ensure that you do not damage the 
unit, we strongly recommend that you read them.
Digital to Analogue conversion
The CD192 incorporates the latest audio up-sampling 
technology to convert the 44.1kHz data from the CD up 
to 192kHz in 24-bit precision using the Analog Devices 
AD1896 sample rate converter.
The 192kHz audio data is converted into the analogue 
domain using four Wolfson Micro WM8740 24-bit stereo 
DACs. Left and right output channels are made using 
two stereo DAC chips per channel, both operating in dual 
mono configuration per channel. The resulting four mono 
signals (two for each channel) are summed together to help 
improve dynamic range, linearity and therefore distortion.
Due to the higher sample rates, the digital filters roll off 
less aggressively than for standard DACs, and the analogue 
filters have a wider bandwidth resulting in less phase 
distortion, particularly for the higher frequencies.
