Connecting to other equipment

Interconnect cables

Interconnecting cables are not supplied with this tuner. We recommend high quality cables as inferior quality cables will degrade the sound quality of your system. Please contact your Arcam dealer for details of suitable cables.

Connecting your tuner to your amplifier

Audio outputs 6

Two pairs of identical outputs are provided.

Connect one set to your amplifier’s tuner input or any other line-level input using suitable high quality interconnect cables. Ensure that the left and right audio outputs from the tuner are connected to the same left and right inputs on your amplifier.

The second set of audio outputs can be used to connect to a second amplifier set up for ‘multi room’ use, or routed to a tape recorder for ‘off air’ recording.

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 switch (120V or 230V) indicated on the rear panel of the unit

2.

If your mains supply voltage is different, switch the voltage selector across using a small screwdriver.

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.

Custom installation features

The T61 has a number of useful features that make it ideal for a custom installation, where the tuner is fully integrated with a specialist control system or operated by a programmable remote control.

Remote control input 3

A rear panel input that receives modulated carrier based IR commands in RC5 format. The input is suitable for connection to a simple IR eye or to an external controller.

Use of this socket disables the front panel IR eye.

Trigger input 4

The trigger socket allows the tuner to be remotely switched in and out of standby. The primary front panel POWER switch must be in, ‘on’, for this mode.

Apply a +12V DC voltage for ‘on’, the power indicator glows green; 0V for ‘standby’, the power indicator glows red.

Note that use of this socket requires a 12V signal before the tuner can be switched fully on.

Infrared (IR) remote commands

The T61 responds to a set of Philips RC-5 codes in addition to those available on the supplied handset, which is kept simple for ease of use.

Advanced programmable control devices, such as the Philips ‘Pronto’ and other system controllers, can be set up to

use the additional codes. Refer to the instructions for your programmable device for details.

A table of IR commands is provided on page 10 of this Handbook.

Plugging in

Push the plug (IEC line socket) of the power cable supplied with the unit into the POWER INLET socket 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.
