Rear panel connections
AC power socket
Once all connections have been made, plug the AC power cable into an
appropriate mains socket. Your 550T is now ready for use.
Control Bus
The Control Bus carries control information, in the form of demodulated
remote control signals, between the tuner and other Cambridge Audio
devices connected to it. The 550T will respond to appropriate commands,
as well as generating specific amplifier On/Off commands according to
the tuner’s Alarm and Sleep functions.
IR (Infra-Red) Emitter In
Allows modulated IR commands from multi-room systems or IR repeater
systems to be received by the unit. Commands received here are not
looped out of the Control Bus. Refer to the ‘Custom installation’ section for
more information.
Line Output
Connect to your amplifier using good quality RCA/phono cables.
FM Aerial
Connect an aerial to the FM 75 ohm socket (a simple wire aerial is
supplied only for temporary use). Extend the lead and move the aerial
around until you get the best reception.
For continued use, we strongly recommend using a 75ohm outdoor FM
aerial.
AM Loop Aerial
Connect each end of the single length antenna to the antenna terminals.
Place the antenna as far from the main system as possible to prevent
unwanted noise and to obtain optimum reception.
If the AM loop aerial provided does not receive sufficient reception, it may
be necessary to use an outdoor AM aerial.
