Volume Resolution – Standard, fine or Reference. ‘Standard’ and ‘Fine’ represent different levels of volume control sensitivity.The ‘Reference’ setting gives absolute increments in 0.5dB steps.
Volume display mode – graphic or numeric shows the volume either as a bar graph or as a number. If Volume resolution is set to ‘Reference’ a numeric volume display shows the actual decibel figure.
Input Trims – use the source select buttons and Control knob to set input trims for each source. Input trims are used to compensate for variations in output levels of different source equipment.
Tone Control – Global or Per source. This specifies the scope of changes for ‘Bass’ and ‘Treble’ tone settings. The default setting is ‘Global’ which affects all inputs equally. ‘Per source’ allows you to set tone controls for individual inputs: once set, the amplifier remembers tone settings for each input.
Welcome message – You can change the power on Welcome message from ‘Arcam Amp’ to
display your name, postcode, etc.When customising the message, use the UP and DOWN buttons to select the cursor position and the Control knob to change the letter.
Phono/Aux Text – If you have had the optional Phono module added, choose ‘Phono’ so this word is displayed when the input is selected.The default is ‘Aux’.
Restore Settings – this restores all amplifier settings, including Input trims and the Welcome message, to their factory defaults.
