Delta
70.2
CD
player
and
Delta
170
CD
transport
handbook
Introduction
The
Arcam
Delta
Compact
Disc
playing
systems
have been
designed
to
provide
the
best
possible
sound
quality
from
Compact
Disc.
Combine
the
Delta
70.2
CD
player
or
Delta
170
CD
transport
with
an
Arcam
Delta
range
amplifier,
tuner
and
digital
to
analogue
converter,
plus
a
pair
of
Arcam
loudspeakers
to
complete
a
formidable,
British
made
hi-fi
system.
The
Deita
70.2
CD
player
is
a
direct
development
of
the
widely
acclaimed
Delta
70
and
offers
the
excellent
sound
quality
and
comprehensive
range
of
features
expected
of
a
machine
with
such
a
pedigree.
New
features
include
twin
transformer
power
supplies,
an
improved
display
(which
can
be
switched
off
or
dimmed)
plus
a
remote
control
handset
which
includes
volume
and
direct
track
access
facilities.
The
Delta
170
CD
transport
is
a
top
quality
CD
player
without
the
D/A
converters
and
analogue
output
stages.
It
is
perhaps
analogous
to
a
top
quality
turntable
motor
unit
to
which
an
arm
and
cartridge
of
the
user's
choice
are
added.
It
is
simply
designed
to
provide
a
digital
output
signal
of
the
highest
quality
and
integrity.
The
Delta
170
must
be
used
with
an
outboard
D/A
converter
or
with
DAC
equipped
amplifiers
or
pre-amplifiers.
With
the
exception
of
the
remote
control
volume
facility,
the
Delta
170
includes
all
the
features
found
on
the
Delta
70.2.
To
obtain
the
very
best
performance
the
Delta
170
also
includes
a
CDM1
Mk
2
die
cast
transport
and
twin
digital
outputs
(one
optical
and
one
co-axial),
fed
from
their
own
transformers
and
power
supplies.
To
ensure
the
best
possible
isolation
from
external
vibration
the
Delta
170
comes
complete
with
a
set
of
AudioQuest
sorbothane
feet.
Please
study
this
manual
carefully
to
ensure
you
get
the
best
results
from
your
CD
machine.
Remember
that
your
dealer
is
there
to
help
you.
He
has
a
full
knowledge
of
all
Arcam
products
and
considerable
experience
of
their
use
in
a
variety
of
systems.
If,
however,
he
is
unable
to
answer
your
query
then
please
do
not
hesitate
to
contact
us
at
the
factory.
Important
Notice
1
Prior
to
installation
it
is
essential
to
remove
the
two
large
metal
transit
screws
which
protrude
from
the
base
of
your
machine.
2
These
can
be
safely
stored
in
the
holes
provided
on
the
back
panel
of
both
the
Delta
70.2
and
the
Delta
170.
DO
NOT
transport
either
machine
without
re-fitting
and
tightening
up
the
transit
screws.
2
Please
retain
the
carton
and
all
packing
materials
(including
the
transit
screws)
provided
with
your
player
so
that
it
may
be
re-packed
correctly
if
it
ever
becomes
necessary
to
transport
the
unit
or
to
return
it
for
service.
3
If
servicing
is
required
then
the
equipment
should
be
fitted
with
its
transit
screws,
properly
packed
and
returned
to
the
dealer
from
whom
it
was
purchased.
It
is
essential
to
include
a
covering
letter,
giving
your
name
and
address
and
a
brief
but
thorough
description
of
the
fault.
Installing
and
using
your
Delta
70.2/Delta
170
Mains
Supply
The
Arcam
Delta
70.2/Delta
170
may
be
supplied
to
work
on
any
of
the
following
a.c.
voltages:
240V, 220V,
120V,
110V,
100V.
Check
that
your
local
mains
supply
voltage
agrees
with
the
voltage
setting
indicated
on
the
back
panel
of
the
player.
If
not,
please
contact
the
factory
or
your
national
distributor
for
details
of
how
to
proceed
further.
A
detachable
mains
lead
is
supplied
with
the
player.
The
cores
of
this
lead
are
coloured
in
accordance
with
the
following
code:
Green
and
Yellow
—
Earth
Blue
—
Neutral
Brown
—
Live
Note:
Export
units
for
certain
markets
have
moulded
mains
plugs
fitted
as
standard.
As
the
colours
in
the
mains
lead
may
not
correspond
with
the
coloured
markings
identifying
the
terminals
in
your
plug
proceed
as
follows:
The
wire
which
is
coloured
GREEN
AND
YELLOW/
must
be
connected
to
the
terminal
in
the
plug
which
is
marked
by
the
letter
E
or
to
the
safety
earth
symbol
or
coloured
GREEN
or
GREEN
AND
YELLOW/.
The
wire
which
is
cotoured
BLUE
must
be
connected
to
the
terminal
which
is
marked
by
the
letter
N
or
coloured
BLACK
or
BLUE.
The
wire
which
is
coloured
BROW/N
must
be
connected
to
the
terminal
which
is
marked
by
the
letter
L
or
coloured
RED
or
BROWN.
Fuses
If
the
mains
plug
is
fused
fit
a
3
amp
fuse.
All
versions
of
the
Delta
70.2
and
Delta
170
are
fitted
with
an
anti-surge
mains
fuse,
rated
at
315mA
for
220/240V
players
and
630mA
for
100/1
10/120V
players.
Should
a
mains
fuse
fail,
SWITCH
OFF
THE
PLAYER
AND
DISCONNECT
IT
AT
THE
WALL
SOCKET.
The
fuse
always
remains
live
when
the
machine
is
plugged
into
the
mains.
Remove
the
top
plate
from
the
player
by
unscrewing
the
two
screws
at
the
top
of
the
rear
panel
using
a
No
1
‘Posidriv’
screwdriver.
Lift
the
top
plate
vertically
and
pull
it
backwards
slightly
to
release
it.
Fit
a
new
fuse
of
the
same
type
and
value
in
the
fuse
holder
close
to
the
mains
inlet.
You
should
find
a
spare
mains
fuse
in
the
spares
kit
provided
with
the
player
or,
alternatively,
fitted
inside
the
machine
close
to
the
mains
inlet.
If
the
new
fuse
fails
we
recommend
that
you
return
the
player
to
your
dealer
for
investigation
and
possible
repair.
Interaction
with
other
equipment
Although
the
transformers
used
in
the
Delta
CD
machines
have
a
low
and
well
controlled
level
of
magnetic
field
radiation
it is
possible
that
they
may
occasionally
interfere
with
nearby
sensitive
equipment,
such
as
the
cartridge
inputs
of
an
amplifier
or
the
replay
circuitry
of
a
cassette
recorder.
This
interference
normally
manifests
itseif
as
a
low
level
background
hum,
present
when
using
the
appropriate
equipment,
but
which
disappears
when
the
CD
machine
is
turned
off.
If
this
situation
occurs
and
is
annoying
it
can
be
eliminated
by
changing
the
relative
position
of
tne
interacting
items
or,
in
extreme
cases,
switching
off
the
CD
player
when
other
items
are
in
use.
[It
may
be
useful
to
know
that
the
transformers
in
the
Delta
70.2
and
Delta
170
are
located
to
the
right
of
the
unit).
A
CD
player
may
also
radiate
some
r.f.
(radio
frequency}
signals,
derived
from
its
digital
circuitry.
Although
within
statutory
limits
this
can
cause
interference
with
nearby
tuners
and
radios,
especially
on
the
AM
(Medium
and
Long)
wavebands.
To
solve
this
problem
move
the
aerial
of
the
tuner
or
radio
away
from
the
CD
player,
or
re-orient
it
for
minimum
interference
pickup.
In
extreme
cases
switch
off
the
CD
player
when
using
your
tuner
or
radio.
Disc
Maintenance
Treat
your
CDs
with
care.
If
you
always
pick
up
a
disc
by
its
edge
and
put
it
back
in
its
case
after
use,
cleaning
should
not
be
necessary.
Should
fingerprints,
dust
or
dirt
appear,
you
can
remove
them
with
a
soft,
lint
free
cloth,
wiping
the
disc
in
a
straight
line
from
centre
to
edge.
Breathe
on
the
disc
lightly
if
necessary
but
do
not
use
detergent,
abrasive
cleaning
agents
or
solutions
designed
for
use
on
records.
Never
write
on
the
disc
label;
this
can
cause
irreparable
damage
as
corrosive
components
present
in
inks
can
etch
their
way
through
and
destroy
the
information
layer
of
the
disc.
Player
Maintenance
Clean
the
cabinet,
when
necessary,
with
a
soft,
damp
cloth.
Do
not
use
cleaning
agents
containing
alcohol,
spirits,
ammonia
or
abrasives.
[For
stubborn
stains
or
fingermarks
we
have
found
the
careful
application
of
"Windolene'
to
be
particularly
effective).
Keep
the
disc
tray
free
of
dust.
With
the
exception
of
changing
a
fuse,
do
not
attempt
to
adjust
or
modify
anything
inside
the
player
—
this
will
void
your
warranty.
In
Case
of
Difficulty
Although
the
Arcam
Delta
CD
machines
have
been
manufactured
to
the
highest
standards,
the
possibility
remains
that
a
fauit
could
appear.
However
the
cause
of
a
problem
will
not
always
be
the
player
—
apparent
faults
can
arise
because
you
are
not
yet
fully
familiar
with
a
complex
new
product,
or
simply
from
faulty
discs.
There
follows
a
list
of
possible
faults
and
their
causes
(see
pages
10—11].
If
you
are
unable
to
solve
a
problem
after
following
our
guidelines,
stop
your
investigation,
disconnect
your
machine
from
the
mains
and
contact
your
dealer.

Audio
Outputs
Two
pairs
of
audio
outputs
to
your
amplifier
are
available
via
standard
RCA
type
phono
sockets,
marked
left
and
right.
A
pair
of
phono
to
phono
leads
should
be
used
to
connect
the
player
to
your
amplifier.
A
basic
cable
of
reasonable
sound
quality
has
been
provided
with
the
Delta
70.2
to
‘get
you
going’
(but
see
notes
on
connecting
cables
below).
The
average
output
level
of
both
audio
outputs
is
500mV
(2V
RMS
peak].
You
should
connect
the
Delta
70.2
output
to
the
CD
or
AUX
input
of
your
amplifier.
The
direct
outputs
on
the
Delta
70.2
offer
the
most
direct
path
from
the
internal
D/A
converter
circuitry
and
hence
give
the
best
sound
quality.
The
variable
outputs,
by
offering
a
remote
control
volume
facility,
give
convenient
armchair
command
over
a
useful
but
limited
range
of
21dB
with
only
a
slight
loss
in
audio
quality.
Note:
A
set
volume
level
will
be
lost
when
the
power
to
the
player
is
switched
off.
When
the
player
is
switched
on
again
the
volume
will
be
set
at
normal
full
output
level.
Any
other
required
listening
level
will
therefore
need
to
be
reset
using
the
remote
handset.
QO

Digital
Output
This
single
phono
socket
allows
the
Delta
70.2
user
to
reap
the
sonic
benefits
achieved
by
using
the
player
with
an
outboard
D/A
converter,
for
example
the
Delta
Black
Box,
or
perhaps
with
a
digital
pre-amplifier
or
amplifier
equipped
with
its
own
internal
DACs.
DO
NOT
connect
the
digital
output
of
the
Delta
70.2
to
the
conventional
inputs
of
any
audio
amplifier.
Connecting
Cables
With
high
quality
CD
sources,
such
as
the
Delta
70.2
and
Delta
170,
the
quality
of
the
cables
which
carry
the
analogue
signals
between
the
player
and
the
amplifier
becomes
of
paramount
importance.
Remember
a
hi-fi
system
is
only
as
good
as
the
weakest
link
in
the
chain!
We
strongly
recommend
that
only
first
class
interconnect
cables
be
used
with
your
hi-fi
system.
(Of
course
the
same
importance
should
also
be
attached
to
loudspeaker
cables].
We
have
found
interconnect
and
loudspeaker
cables
from
the
AudioQuest
LiveWire
range
to
be
particularly
suitable.
We
suggest
that
you
discuss
the
question
of
cables
with
your
dealer.
As
a
rule
of
thumb
you
might
budget
to
spend
between
596
and
2096
of
the
price
of
your
system
on
cable.
This
can
be
one
of
the
most
effective
upgrades
you
can
carry
out
on
your
system.

The
Deita
170
is
a

machine
which
must
be
used
in
conjunction
with
an
outboard
D/A
converter
or
with
DAC
equipped
amplifiers
or
pre-amplifiers.
Since
the
Delta
170
contains
no
D/A
conversion
stages
of
its
own
both
outputs
are
digital.
One
is
a
standard
phono
co-axial
digital
output,
suitable
for
connection
to
the
phono
digital
input
of
a
D/A
converter
or
DAC
equipped
amplifier/pre-amplifier.
A
0.75m,
75
ohm
phono
co-axial
lead
is
supplied
as
standard
with
the
Delta
170
for
this
purpose.
The
second
digital
output
is
an
optical
output
which
allows
the
Delta
170
to
be
used
with
equipment
possessing
the
TOSLINK
optical
connector.
A
fibre

cable
terminated
with
TOSLINK
connectors
should
be
used
for
optically
connecting
the
Delta

has
been
designed
primarily
for
use
with
the

Positioning
your
Delta
CD
player
Your
CD
machine
should
be
placed
horizontally
on
a
flat,
firm
surface,
not
on
a
soft
mat
or
similar
which
may
limit
ventilation.
A
Delta
CD
machine
can
be
stacked
but
should
preferably
be
placed
either
at
the
bottom
or
the
top
of
the
stack.
(If
you
are
using
sorbothane
feet
under
your
CD
machine
and
wish
to
place
the
player
at
the
bottom
of
the
stack
bear
in
mind
the
weight
capacity
of
the
feet}.
Do
not
stand
the
player
or
sorbothane
feet
on
any
equipment
[e.g.
a
power
amplifier)
which
emits
substantial
amounts
of
heat.
Dedicated
tabies
or
other
specialist
supports
are
encouraged
as
they
can
improve
the
performance
of
your
player
by
isolating
it
from
external
vibration.
AudioQuest
sorbothane
CD
feet
are
a
particularly
cost
effective
way
of
improving
the
performance
of
your
player.
If
siting
the
player
in
a
cupboard
or
wall
unit
allow
a
minimum
of
1"
(25mm)
above
the
machine
to
aid
cooling.

display
shows
the
number
(quantity]
of

(position)
currently
selected
by

and
pressing
the

(11).
After
this
time
the
TRACK
header
will
stop
flashing
and
the
microprocessor
in
the

will
assume
that
you
have
changed
your
mind;
the
track
can
then
no
longer
be
stored.
The
display
will
revert
to
detailing
the
number
of
