Your I32 is an ideal companion to the Primare
CD32 CD Player. For best results link the two
products together as follows using the two cables
supplied with the I32:
To connect the trigger cable
The Trigger cable ensures that the CD32 switches
on, or to standby, when you operate the
O
button on the front panel of the I32.
• Connect the Trigger cable from the I32 TRIG
OUT to the CD32 TRIG IN.
• Configure the CD32 to TRIG ON.
To connect the IR cable
The IR cable ensures that the remote control
DIM and
O buttons operate both units in
synchrony.
• Set the I32 and CD32 to the same display
brightness setting.
• Connect the IR cable from the I32 IR OUT to
the CD32 IR IN.
• Configure the CD32 to IR BACK.
Refer to the CD32 User Guide for details of
how to configure the TRIG ON and IR BACK
settings.
additional inFormation
The I32 uses proprietary UFPD power technology to provide high power output
with very low distortion, with an ecologically-friendly low standby power.
These instructions help you get the best possible sound from your I32, and give
information about using it with a CD32.
