Radio interference

All Arcam products have been designed to very high standards of electromagnetic compatibility.

However, both CD players and DVD players generate RF (radio frequency) energy. In some cases this can cause interference with FM and AM radio reception. If this is the case, switch the player off or keep the player and its connecting cables as far from the tuner and its aerials as possible. Connecting the player and the tuner/ampliﬁer to different mains sockets can also help to reduce interference.

EU countries

This product has been designed to comply with directive 89/336/EEC.

USA

If the equipment causes interference to radio/television reception, which can be determined by switching the equipment off and on, the following measures should be taken: Re-orientate the receiving antenna or route the antenna cable of the receiver as far

as possible from this appliance and its cabling. Relocate the receiver with respect to this appliance. Connect the receiver and this appliance to different mains power outlets. If the problem persists contact your Arcam dealer or Arcam Customer Support on +44 (0)1223 203203.
