CONNECTING TO A POWER SUPPLY
WRONG PLUG?
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 2 before plugging in.
If your mains supply voltage or mains plug is different, consult your Arcam dealer or Arcam Customer Support on +44 (0)1223 203203. The product must be earthed.
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. Should you require a new mains lead, contact your Arcam dealer.
PLUGGING IN
Push the plug (IEC line socket) of the power cable supplied with the unit into the socket (POWER INLET) 1 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.
STANDBY POWER
For remote standby operation, the amplifier’s control power supply is kept powered up all the time the unit is connected to the mains supply.The front panel power switch powers down all other circuitry. Power consumption in this mode is less than 2W.
This means that even though the power switch is off, it may be possible to hear a slight residual hum coming from the mains transformer inside the amplifier.This is perfectly normal. If the unit is to be left unused for an extended period, we recommend that it is disconnected from the mains supply by switching it off at the wall socket.
CONNECTING TO OTHER EQUIPMENT
The use of high quality interconnect cables to and from your amplifier is recommended to ensure the best sound quality. Sockets marked L (and R) on your amplifier should only be connected to sockets marked L (and R) on other equipment. All the line inputs have the same sensitivity and may be used with equipment other than that labelled, if needed.
TAPE1/RECORD OUT 8 – Connect these output sockets to the input sockets of your cassette deck (usually labelled RECORD).
TAPE1/PLAY IN 9 – Connect these input sockets to the output sockets of your cassette deck (usually labelled PLAY). If you do not have a cassette deck you can use this input for other (line level) equipment, such as a CD player, tuner,VCR, etc., but not a turntable.
VCR/TAPE2 RECORD OUT bk – These output sockets can be connected to the input sockets of VCR/second recorder (usually labelled RECORD).
VCR/TAPE2 PLAY IN bl – Connect these input sockets to the output sockets of your VCR/second recorder (usually labelled PLAY). Alternatively, you can use this input for other (line level) equipment such as a CD player, tuner, etc., but not a turntable.
DVD bm – Connect this input to the audio outputs of a DVD player.
AV bn – Connect this input to audiovisual equipment such as a VCR, laserdisc player, satellite or Nicam tuner.
TUNER bo – Connect this input to the audio outputs of your radio tuner.
CD bp – Connect this input to the audio outputs of your CD player or DAC (digital to analogue converter).
AUX bq – Connect this input to the audio outputs of any unit with a line level output, e.g. tape deck, tuner etc.
PHONO bq – Connect this input to the audio outputs of your turntable. This Phono Module is compatible with most high output moving coil and moving magnet cartridges (MM) and low output moving coil cartridges (MC). MM or MC can be selected via the blue switch on the rear panel.
Phono earth terminal – For connecting your turntable earth lead (if fitted). Note that this terminal must not be used as a safety earth.
TRIG OUT and REMOTE IN 3 (12V in and out) – These connections are for use in
PRE/POWER AMPLIFIER CONNECTIONS
PWR IN 5 – To use your integrated amplifier as a power amplifier, connect the output of your
