Introduction
Thank you for purchasing your Sonata
AR30/DR30+.
We are confident
that
you will
enjoy manyyears
of
listeningpleasure
from
it. Like all CambridgeAudio products, the
Sonata
AR30/DR30+
adheres tothree core principles -stunning performance, ease
of
use and incredible value.
The Sonata AR30 and DR30+ were jointly developed to offer truly uncompromised
audiophile quality audio in a small convenient and stylish package. The Sonata AR30
is a stereo receiver featuring high quality amplification with an in-built FM/AM tuner
and supplied DD30 dockingstation for iPod. The
US
version
of
the
AR30 additionally
features a SIRIUS-Ready socket
to
allow satellite radio to be added in
that
country
(requires a
SIRIUS
subscription).
The
Sonata DR30+ is an alternative stereo receiver featuring
the
same amplification
and DD30 iPod dock but with a DAB/DAB+/FM tuner for countries which broadcast
DAB
and
DAB+
digital radio.
Both models also feature an environmentallyfriendly low power (<1W) standby circuit.
The supplied remote can control all
of
the Sonata AR30/DR30+'sfunctions and those
of
an iPod when docked in the matching DD30 dock (supplied).
The audio circuitry draws on all our previous experience and features a true discrete
high power amplifier, linear power supply and low flux toroidal transformer. Alarm and
Sleep
timer
functions are available and you may choose to wake
to
the
Tuner or
attached iPod. A temporary aerial is supplied
to
get you going, however
the
use
of
appropriate external AM/FM/DAB aerials is strongly recommended to really get the
best from your Sonata AR30/DR30+.
Sonata
AR30
DR30+
Ultimate sound quality depends on the whole
of
your system, naturally
we
particularly
recommend speakers from the Cambridge Audio Sirocco range as these have been
designed for a perfect acoustic and aesthetic match. Your dealer can also supply
excellent qualityCambridge Audio interconnectsto ensure yoursystem realises itsfull
potential.
Thanks for
taking
the
time
to read this manual; we do recommend you keep
it
for
future reference.

Check the impedance

Make sure correct polarity is maintained
at
each speaker connector
or the sound can become weak and "phasey" with little bass.
Prepare the speaker cords for connection
by
stripping
off
approximately 10mm
(3/8")
or less
of
the outer insulation. More than 10mm could cause a short circuit. Twist the
wires tightlytogether so there are no loose ends. Unscrew the speaker terminal knob,

To
enable this feature:
1. Switch
off
all Sonata units.
2. Connect one
of
the provided trigger lead between your source equipment and the
corresponding trigger connection
at
back
of
the Sonata AR30 or DR30+ unit (e.g.
connect the Sonata AR30 or DR30+
CD

input).
3. Switch all Sonata units back on.
Now,
when the

Note: Sonata AR30 and DR30+ are supplied with a temporary aerial for initial use.
For
permanent use, outdoor aerials are highly recommended.
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. Ifthe
AM
loop aerial provided does not receive sufficient
reception,
it
may
be
necessary to use an outdoor
AM
aerial.
FM
aerial
Connect the supplied aerial to the
FM
75

lead around until
you
get
the
best reception.
For
continued use,
we
strongly
recommend using a 75ohm outdoor
