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). If you were to adjust the brightness level of the large digital
display window using the “Display” button on the 750D, the brightness level of the 700i display will automatically adjust to
the same brightness level as that of the 750D. Conversely, since the SimLink™ is a true bi-directional connection, adjusting
the 700i brightness level will automatically adjust the brightness level of the 750D.
A third feature of SimLink™ involves the “Standby” function. By pressing down and holding the “Standby” button for 2
seconds on the 750D, all other MOON components connected via the SimLink will go into “Standby” mode along with the
750D. The same logic applies when switching from “Standby” to active mode.
The connection rules for the SimLink™ are very basic. You must always connect the supplied cable between one component’s
“SimLink™ Out” jack and another component’s “SimLink™ In” jack. If you inadvertently connect the cable between either two
“SimLink™ In” or two “SimLink™ Out” jacks, the SimLink™ communication feature will not function. Also, there is no master
component in a SimLink™ chain; no one particular component operates as the main communications controller.–
In the event that you are using your MOON 750D with an older MOON product such as a P-7, P-8 or i-7, you will need to
update the software of the older product to allow for complete SimLink™ functionality. Contact your retailer for further details.
Operating the 750D
We recommend that you leave your MOON 750D DAC / CD Transport powered up at all times to maintain optimal
performance. In the event that you plan to be away from your home for a few days, powering off the DAC / CD Transport
may not be a bad idea. Once fully “broken-in”, please keep in mind that your 750D will require several hours of playing time
before it reaches its peak performance after you’ve powered it up again.
Turning on your MOON 750D for the first time
Prior to turning this DAC / CD Transport on for the first time, make sure that every cable is properly connected to avoid any
problems. Then turn on your DAC / CD Transport in the following manner:
1) Flick the main rocker switch labeled “POWER” to the ‘1’ (on) position on the rear panel.
2) Press the push button labeled “Standby” on the 750D, the blue LED will confirm operation and the digital
display will show ‘no disc’. You are now ready to load a compact disc and begin listening to music.
On and Off Sequence
To avoid having any annoying noises (i.e. “thumps” and “pops”) emanate from your speakers when powering your 750D on
or off, you should
1) Always power up your 750D DAC / CD Transport before powering up your preamplifier and/or integrated amplifier.
2) Always power down your 750D after powering down your preamplifier and/or integrated amplifier.
