Permet de mettre l’appareil sous/hors tension. Le voyant indique le statut de l’amplificateur.

Lorsque l’amplificateur est mis sous tension, le voyant est de couleur orange pendant quelques secondes, correspondant à la période de déconnexion des haut-parleurs. Le voyant devient vert lorsque l’amplificateur est prêt à l’utilisation. Le voyant rouge signifie que l’amplificateur est en mode de veille.

Le voyant clignote pour signaler un problème, dont la description apparaît à l’affichage. Débranchez l’amplificateur et attendez quelques instants avant de le reconnecter. Si le problème est insoluble, débranchez l’amplificateur et contactez votre revendeur Arcam.

Ces boutons permettent de sélectionner et de désélectionner les paires de haut-parleurs principale (SP1) et secondaire (SP2) connectées à l’amplificateur. Un voyant lumineux indique les paires de haut-parleurs actuellement sélectionnées.

REMARQUE : si les deux voyants sont éteints, l’amplificateur semble ne pas fonctionner, puisque tous les haut-parleurs sont hors tension. Si ces deux voyants sont allumés et deux paires de haut-parleurs de faible impédance sont connectées, le risque de surcharge augmente.
