MARC amplifier - User Guide
INTRODUCTION
The MARC (Multi-Area-Remote-Control) amplifier is a module
fitted inside an Arcam integrated amplifier. It gives access to and
use of, the source components (e.g.Tuner, CD player etc.)
connected to the integrated amplifier in other locations within a
house. For instance one room can be listening to a CD while
another room can be listening to a radio broadcast.
An extra amplifier (such as the P25) is required for each of the
other locations. Each location in the house is referred to as a
'zone'.The room where the integrated amplifier is located is called
zone 1.The other rooms are zones 2-5.You are recommended to
read the integrated amplifier 'User Guide' first, for an introduction
to the many features of the the integrated amplifier which are
identical to the MARC amplifier.
HOW MARC IS CONTROLLED
Your MARC can be controlled in two ways.
1. MARC is normally controlled from each zone by use of an infra-
red remote handset, or wallmounted keypad, depending on your
installation. Remember that MARC and the associated equipment
must be on, or in standby condition for the system to work! If the
system is in standby, a power on command will normally be
required before use.
2. MARC will also allow you to adjust each zone from the front
panel of the amplifier if required.
If you want to make temporary changes to zones 2-5, use the
source Balance and Volume controls shown in this 'User Guide'
section.These adjustments can either be set in zone 1, using the
MARC amplifier, or using the controls on a Keypad or a Remote
Control within each of the zones.
If you want to make more permanent changes and over-ride
changes in the zones (2-5) you should refer to the section entitled
Advanced Features.

STANDBY
V
A command is required to bring the system out of standby
condition.This is done by using the 'STANDBY' or 'POWER'
button on the Remote Control or keypad.
Note that there will be a delay of at least
6, possibly l5 seconds before the system
responds with music.
Be patient, otherwise repeated operation of the power
command could lead to confusion.
There are three levels of standby in the MARC system.
System standby
Putting the MARC into system standby prevents the
distribution of music to all zones.
The state of system standby is changed by using the
standby/power button on the remote control in zone 1,
or by pressing and holding for four seconds, standby/power,
in zones 2-5.
Note that your system may be configured so that this
command is blocked from selected zones.
Local standby - Zones 2-5
To bring one zone out of standby, press standby/power on
the handset or keypad in that zone.
The zone will then power up in its default condition.
To put the zone into standby, use a short press on the
standby/power key .
Mute
Using a mute command in any zone, e.g. to answer the
phone, temporarily mutes that zone. On a second mute or
change of volume command, the zone continues in the
mode before muting was used.
Troubleshooting
If no sound is heard, ensure all amplifiers are powered on
and all source components are operating.
