Then set the first tape recorder into its 'record' mode and

the second to 'playback' mode to enable the transfer to

take place. If you wish to monitor the transfer while it is

To record from TAPE 1 to TAPE 2 set listen to TAPE 1.

It does not matter what position the RECORD selector is

in. To monitor push the PROCESSOR/TAPE 2 button

in.

PRE/POWER CONNECTIONS

PWR AMP IN - To use your Alpha 9 just as a power

amplifier, connect the output of your pre-amplifier to the

PWR AMP IN sockets. The Alpha 9's internal selector

switch should be set to the EXT INPUT position to

disconnect the preamp stages of the unit. Contact your

dealer or Arcam for more details.

Under these circumstances It has exactly the same

specification and performance as an Alpha 9P power

amplifier.

PREAMP OUT - To use your Alpha 9 as a pre-amplifier,

connect the PREAMP OUT sockets to the input sockets

of your power amplifier. With a power amplifier of the

correct gain (e.g. An Arcam Alpha 9P or Delta 290P) this

allows

you

bi-amplify

("bl-amp")

suitable

loudspeakers, giving significant improvements in sound

quality (see section on BI-WlRING/ BI-AMPING).

REMOTE CONTROL FUNCTIONS

■

Your Alpha 9 amplifier is supplied with the Arcam CR35

infra-red remote control handset, which has buttons to

allow the simple operation of other products.

It is

supplied with 2 AA batteries - ensure these are inserted

correctly.

■

The remote allows you to operate the Alpha 9 plus some

basic functions of an Arcam (except the Alpha One CD

player, which uses a different remote control language)

or Philips based CD player, a remote controlled tuner

(such as the Arcam Delta 280* or Alpha 8 tuner) and the

Arcam Delta Black Box 500 DACC (Digital Audio Control

Centre).

Note: versions of the Delta 280 FM tuner manufactured

before April 1995 will not respond to the programme

up/down buttons on the CR35.

■

REMOTE MODE - The Alpha 9 is factory-set to enable

the Arcam CR35 or Arcam CR200 System Remote

automatically to synchronise the operation of any Arcam

CD player or transport, remote control tuner (and with a

CR200, the Arcam Delta 100 cassette deck) with the

LISTEN selector on the Alpha 9, all at the touch of a

single button.

For example, using the CR35 remote, press PLAY, and

the CD player will start the disc and the LISTEN switch

of the Alpha 9 will select the CD input. If automatic

operation is not required it can be disabled by your

dealer by fitting an internal link. The LISTEN selector

switch can still be operated by either remote control

handset.

Note: The 'STBY', 'DISP' and 'VCR' buttons do not initiate any

functions within the Alpha 9 amplifier.

'DVD' can be

used to select the aux input on the Alpha 9.

The MUTE button mutes the speaker connections and

pre-amp outputs. Both tape outputs and the headphone

socket remain active. In MUTE mode the power LED will

turn amber until mute Is disabled by either pressing

MUTE again or pressing volume -/+.

LOUDSPEAKER CONNECTIONS

Connect up as per Instructions for the Alpha 9 integrated

amplifier.

CONNECTING YOUR SOURCE COMPONENT

PWR AMP IN - Connect to your pre-amplifier outputs or

the PREAMP OUT sockets of an Arcam Delta 290 or

Alpha 9 amplifier.

MONO LINK - The Alpha 9P can be configured to

provide two mono loudspeaker outputs from a single

Input.

Using the U-link ® supplied, connect the MONO LINK

sockets ® together.

Utilising one Alpha 9P per loudspeaker in this manner

will allow bi-amplifying of bi-wireable loudspeakers. This

Is particularly beneficial for top quality

stereo

installations with a separate pre-amplifier, or for the left,

centre and right channel loudspeakers in a five speaker

Dolby Pro Logic system. Contact your Arcam dealer for

more detailed information.

■

Daisy Chain - The Alpha 9P is capable of driving further

Alpha 9P amplifiers (or any other power amplifier), to

drive more speakers (eg. those in other rooms or tri-

amplifled speakers etc).

Connect the extra power

amplifier Inputs to the MONO LINK outputs ® left to left,

right to right.

FRONT PANEL

®,®

SP1 and SP2 - Pressing the SP1 switch turns on the

speakers connected to the SP1 (upper) set of output

terminals on the rear panel. Similarly the SP2 switch

turns on the speakers connected to the SP2 (lower) set

of output terminals.

■

Both the SP1 and SP2 switches can be turned on at the

same time, provided that the combined impedance of

the two pairs of speakers does not fall below 4 ohms per

channel.

Important note: If both switches are turned off then the

amplifier will appear not to be functioning, as all speakers will

be switched off!

HEADPHONES SOCKET - Accepts headphones rated

between 8 ohms and 2k ohms fitted with a 6.3mm stereo

jack plug. If your headphones are fitted with a different

plug contact your dealer for a suitable adaptor.

■

The headphone socket is always switched on,

Irrespective of the positions of switches ® and ®.

POWER - Switches the power on and off.
