MOON 750 D Digital-to-Analog Converter / CD Transport Front Panel Controls Figure 1: MOON 750D 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 corresponding time information. The “Standby” button disengages the transport mechanism from the rest of the 750D’s circuitry and turns off the digital display.
MOON 750 D Digital-to-Analog Converter / CD Transport Front Panel Controls (continued) The “Input” button is used to select an external digital source by sequentially scrolling through four (4) digital inputs: D1 uses an XLR connector for an AES/EBU digital signal; D2 uses an RCA connector for a S/PDIF digital signal; D3 uses a TosLink connector for an optical digital signal and D4 uses a USB type B connector for use with a computer equipped with a USB port and music player software such as iTunes or Win
MOON 750 D Digital-to-Analog Converter / CD Transport Rear Panel Connections Figure 2: MOON 750D Rear panel The rear panel will look similar to Figure 2 (above). On the left side are two pairs of analog audio outputs, labeled “Right” and “Left”, each with a single-ended RCA and balanced XLR connector. Don’t hesitate to use good quality interconnect cable when making the connection between the MOON 750D and your preamplifier or integrated amplifier.
MOON 750 D Digital-to-Analog Converter / CD Transport SimLink™ The SimLink™ provides communication features between various MOON components. For example, if you were to connect the 750D DAC / CD Transport to the 700i Integrated Amplifier via the SimLink™, pressing the X (play) button on the 750D would make the integrated amplifier automatically switch to it’s designated input for the DAC / CD Transport (Please refer to the 700i owner’s manual for more information if applicable).
MOON 750 D Digital-to-Analog Converter / CD Transport Remote Control Operation The MOON 750D D-to-A Converter uses the ‘FRM-3’ full function, all aluminum backlit remote control (figure 3). It operates on the Philips RC-5 communication protocol and is can be used with other MOON components such as CD Players, DAC’s, Integrated Amplifiers, as well as other Preamplifiers.
