FEATURES OF THE AMCTM MODEL CD8b  
* The AMC model CD8b was designed to meet professional quality performance  
standards and to provide superior value.  
* Select grade components are utilized throughout the circuit design with special  
emphasis on components within the audio path to assure stable, consistent performance.  
* Premium transport and servo drive system assures constant data rate retrieval and  
unsurpassed tracking performance.  
* Use Burr Brown 96kHz/24bit D/A converter for high resolution and superb audio  
reproduction.  
* Unique 5-pole linear active LPF (low pass filter) prevents interference from ultrasonic  
noise commonly found in other CD playback systems.  
* Advanced power supply design incorporates separate windings for the digital, analog  
and servo circuits to prevent interference and preserve sonic performance.  
* EIA calibrated audio outputs ensure a proper match with preamplifiers and receivers.  
* Provide digital output allow the CD8b to be used as a high-quality transport and provide  
for future upgrades.  
* Up to 21 tracks may be programmed to playback in desired order.  
* Full-function infrared (IR) remote control with direct track access.  
TRANSIT SCREW  
A transit screw secures the  
transport mechanism for protection  
during shipment.  
Before making  
any connections or applying power  
to the CD6b, remove the transit  
screw which is located on the  
underside of the unit.

4. FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS  
17. POWER LINES  
(APPLIES TO TUNER AND RECEIVERS ONLY)  
All operating and use instructions should be followed.  
5. WATER AND MOISTURE  
An outdoor antenna should be located away from power lines.  
18. OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING  
(APPLIES TO TUNER AND RECEIVERS ONLY)  
The appliance should not be used near water - for example,  
near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet  
basement, or near a swimming pool, etc.  
If an outside antenna is connected to the receiver, be sure the  
antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection  
against voltage surges and built up static charges.  
Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No.  
70-1984, provides information with respect to proper  
grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of  
the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding  
conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to  
grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding  
electrode. See Figure.  
6. CARTS AND STANDS  
The appliance should be used only with a cart or stand that is  
recommended by the manufacturer.  
PORTABLE CART WARNING  
6A.An appliance and cart combination should be  
moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force,  
and uneven surfaces may cause the appliance  
and cart combination to overturn.  
a) Use No. 10 AWG (5.3 mm2) copper, No. 8 AWG (8.4 mm2)  
aluminum, No. 17 AWG (1.0 mm2) copper-clad steel or  
bronze wire, or larger, as a ground wire.  
b) Secure antenna lead-in and ground wires to house with  
stand-off insulators spaced from 4-6 feet (1.22-1.83 m)  
apart.  
7. WALL OR CEILING MOUNTING  
S3125A  
This equipment is not designed for use mounted on a wall or a  
ceiling.  
8. VENTILATION  
The appliance should be situated so that its location or position  
does not interfere with its proper ventilation. For example, the  
appliance should not be situated on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar  
surface that may block the ventilation openings, or placed in a  
built-in installation, such as bookcase or cabinet that may  
impede the flow of air through the ventilation openings.  
c) Mount antenna discharge unit as close as possible to where  
lead-in enters house.  
d) Use jumper wire not smaller than No.6 AWG (13.3 mm2)  
copper, or the equivalent, when a separate antenna-  
grounding electrode is used. See NEC Section 810-21(j).  
9. HEAT  
Antenna Grounding According to  
the National Electrical Code  
The appliance should be situated away from heat sources  
such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other appliances  
(including amplifiers) that produce heat.  
10. POWER SOURCES  
The appliance should be connected to a power supply only of  
the type described in the operating instructions or as marked  
on the appliance.  
Antenna Lead  
In Wire  
11. POWER-CORD PROTECTION  
Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely  
to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against  
them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs,  
convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from  
the appliance
