This section describes how to operate your amplifier.

If your amplifier has not been installed for you, you should

first read the section 'Installation: A90 integrated amplifier' on

page 4.

POWER (and power indicator light)

Switches the unit on and off. (You can also switch the amplifier

into standby mode with the remote control handset.)

The light indicates the status of the amplifier. A red light means

the amplifier is in standby mode (press the

button on the remote control, or the

panel, to switch between standby and powered-up modes).

When you switch your amplifier on, the light glows amber for a

few seconds, during which time the speakers are disconnected.

The light changes to green when the amplifier is ready for use.

The light may flash if a fault has occurred – the fault type is

shown on the display. You should unplug the amplifier and leave

it for a few minutes before reconnecting. If the fault cannot be

cleared, unplug your amplifier and contact your Arcam dealer.

Source selectors

These buttons select the source connected to the

corresponding input. A light above the relevant button indicates

which input is currently selected and it will also usually be

shown on the display.

VCR

This input is similar to the other line level inputs on the amplifier

and may be used with a VCR or a second recording unit (e.g.

cassette deck).

TONE

Switches the tone circuits on and off, including settings for

individual sources. Note that the tone LED does not light unless

a tone setting has been made. (see page 8).

Control knob, SELECT and ENTER

The control knob has two functions:

as a volume control, to adjust the output of loudspeakers

and headphones connected to the amplifier, and of the

when used in conjunction with the

buttons, to customise amplifier settings (see page 8).

Volume control settings

It is important to realise that the position of the volume control

is not an accurate indication of the power delivered to your

loudspeakers. The amplifier often delivers its full power long

before the volume control reaches its maximum position,

particularly when listening to heavily recorded compact discs.

However the amplifier also has to be capable of giving full

power output from much lower level sources, such as tuners

and cassette decks. Using these sources, the volume control

setting may be much higher before distortion (audible overload)

sets in. To compensate for this, the input levels of each source

POWER/STANDBY

may be individually adjusted to avoid accidental overload (see

button on the front

page 8).

SP1 and SP2

These buttons allow you to select and deselect the main (

and secondary (

The light above each button glows if the corresponding

speakers are currently selected. (If both lights are out the

amplifier will appear not to work, as all speakers are switched

off!)

PHONES

This socket accepts headphones with an impedance rating

between 8Ω and 2kΩ, fitted with a 1/4-inch stereo jack plug.

If you wish to listen on headphones only, use the

buttons (if necessary) to mute the speakers. The headphone

socket is always active.

Remote control receiver

The remote control's infrared receiver is positioned to the left

of the

sight from the remote control to allow signals to be received.

MODE, UP and DOWN

These buttons are mainly for use with future optional modules,
