Using this handbook

This handbook has been designed to give you all the information you need to install, connect, set up and use the Arcam A85 integrated amplifier or the P85 power amplifier. The A85 amplifier is described first, then the P85. The CR-389 remote control handset supplied with the A85 integrated amplifier is also described.

Your amplifier(s) may have been installed and set up by an authorised Arcam dealer. In this case, you may wish to go directly to the sections describing the use of this equipment.

Safety

Safety guidelines are set out on the inside front cover of this handbook.

Many of these items are common sense precautions, but for your own safety, and to ensure that you do not damage the unit, we strongly recommend that you read them.
