Arcam’s T32 provides class-leading sound quality from a range of radio sources: FM, AM, DAB and/or Sirius. (The range is market determined, depending on the national availability of radio sources.) In addition, the T32 works beautifully with Arcam’s rDock or rLead accessories, giving your iPod® a first class entry ticket into your home Hi-Fi system.

As part of an Arcam system, the high performance T32 tuner is designed to truly bring your music and sound to life.

Placing the unit

<Place the T32 on a level, firm surface, avoiding direct sunlight and sources of heat or damp.

<Do not place the T32 on top of an amplifier or other source of heat.

<Do not place the T32 in an enclosed space such as a bookcase or closed cabinet unless there is good provision for ventilation. The T32 is designed to run warm during normal operation.

<Do not place any other component or item on top of the T32 as this may obstruct airflow around the unit, causing the T32 to run hot.

<Make sure the remote-control receiver (behind the FMJ badge on the front panel) is unobstructed, or remote control will be impaired.

<Do not place your record deck on top of this unit. Record decks are very sensitive to the noise generated by mains power supplies which will be heard as a background ‘hum’ if the record deck is too close.

Power

The T32 is supplied with a moulded mains plug already fitted to the lead. Check that the plug supplied fits your supply – should you require a new mains lead, please contact your Arcam dealer.

If your mains supply voltage or mains plug is different, please contact your Arcam dealer immediately

Push the IEC plug end of the power cable into the socket on the back of the T32, making sure that it is pushed in firmly. Plug the other end of the cable into your mains socket and, if necessary, switch the socket on.

Remote control input

The REMOTE IN input can be used to pass RC5 codes to the T32 if it is installed in a position, or a system, where infrared cannot be used. If this is required, please contact your dealer for further information.

In normal use there is no need to make any connections to this input.

The REMOTE IN input requires a mono 3.5mm jack, with the tip active and the sleeve grounded.

The remote control signals must be in modulated RC5 format (at 36kHz), with a voltage level of between 5V and 12V.

Interconnect cables

We recommend the use of high-quality screened cables that are designed for the particular application. Other cables will have different impedance characteristics that will degrade the performance of your system (for example, do not use cabling intended for video use to carry audio signals). All cables should be kept as short as is practically possible.

It is good practice when connecting your equipment to make sure that the mains power-supply cabling is kept as far away as possible from your audio cables. Failure to do so may result in unwanted noise in the audio signals.
