1.
There are two connections that must be made between the MOON Andromeda CD Player and its separate power supply
as shown above in Figure 1; First, using the supplied 4-pin XLR cable, connect the end with the male pin socket to the
plug labeled “DC Power Output 1” located on the rear panel of the power supply. Connect the other end of the cable, with
the female socket, to the plug labeled “DC Power Input 1” located on the rear panel of the CD player. Next, using the
supplied 8-pin Ethercon cable (both ends are identically terminated), connect one end to the plug labeled “DC Power
Output 2” located on the rear panel of the power supply. Connect the other end of the cable to the plug labeled “DC
Power Input 2” located on the rear panel of the CD player. Do not attempt to modify the lengths these cables – they are
specifically designed for optimal performance.

chassis. Alternatively, if you wish, you may use a dedicated high-performance AC cable designed for CD players. Ensure
that the AC wall outlet you use has a functioning ground. For the best sonic performance, it is preferable that you plug
your MOON Andromeda CD Player directly into a dedicated AC outlet and avoid using an extension cord.

In order to obtain the maximum performance from your audio system, we strongly recommend that the detachable
power cord not come into physical contact with any of the interconnect cables in your system. In the event that this can’t
be avoided, you should ensure that any cables coming into contact with each other are crossed at ninety degree angles to
minimize the contact area.
