If nothing is audible, ensure that your audio device (TV, amplifier, etc.) is set to the correct input. Check the connections at both ends and, if necessary, try an alternative cable.
The remote-control input
The REMOTE IN input can be used to pass RC5 codes to the DV29 if it is installed in a position (or system) where infrared cannot be used. If this is required, please contact your dealer for further information. The DV29 can accept both modulated (at 36kHz) and unmodulated RC5 signals.
Connecting to a power supply
Mains lead
The appliance is normally supplied with a moulded mains plug already fitted to the lead. If for any reason the plug needs to be removed, it must be disposed of immediately and securely, as it is a potential shock hazard when inserted into the mains socket.
Check that the plug supplied with the unit fits your supply and that your mains supply voltage agrees with the voltage setting (115V or 230V) indicated on the rear panel of the unit.
If your mains supply voltage or mains plug is different, or you require a new lead, please consult your Arcam dealer.
Plugging in
Push the plug (IEC line socket) of the power cable supplied with the unit into the socket (POWER INLET) in the back of the unit. Make sure it is pushed in firmly.
Put the plug on the other end of the cable into your power supply socket and switch the socket on.
