TAPE RECORDING

Note:The integrated amplifier must be fully powered up in

order to record. Both sets of tape sockets are identical in

sensitivity and suitable for use with almost any type of

recorder (cassette, hi-fi VCR, reel to reel, DAT, etc.) The

entertainment source selected (i.e. Radio (TUNER),

Compact Disc (CD) etc. will automatically be the signal you

record (and is sent to both the VCR and PROCESSOR

RECORD output sockets) unless you select another source.

To select another source, press RECORD.The display will

first show 'RECORD SOURCE'. Select an alternative input

by pressing the appropriate button, (i.e. Radio (TUNER),

Compact Disc (CD) etc.Your selected choice will show in

the display.The display will indicate the selected recording

option for a few seconds and then revert back to showing

the volume bar graph. Press 'RECORD' twice to go back to

'RECORD SOURCE'. If you are using the TAPE 1 sockets in

processor mode.The signal selected will not go to both the

VCR and PROCESSOR RECORD output sockets but go to

the VCR/TAPE 2 instead.This RECORD button can also be

used as a 'second zone' selector, sending (a source signal at

line level) to a second amplifier operating in another room

in the house.

TAPE TO TAPE COPYING (DUBBING)

The integrated amplifier allows two way tape dubbing from

TAPE 2 to TAPE 1 but NOT TAPE 1 to TAPE 2. For example,

to copy from a cassette recorder connected to the

VCR/TAPE 2 sockets to a cassette recorder connected to

TAPE 1, first use the RECORD selector

on the

integrated amplifier to select 'RECORD :VCR'.This routes

the TAPE 2 signal to TAPE l's output.Then set the tape

recorder connected to TAPE 1 sockets into its

'record' mode and the other to 'playback' mode to enable

the transfer to take place. If you wish to monitor the transfer

while it is taking place select TAPE using the

TAPE1/PROCESSOR button

MODE & CONFlRM

These buttons are only for use with optional modules such

as the DAVE or MARC amplifiers.

They have no function on their own in normal use on the

basic integrated amplifier although MODE can be

used to select processor mode, as described below.

PROCESSOR/TAPE 1

This is tape loop to monitor a recording made on a 3 head

cassette deck. It can also be used to connect to an external

surround decoder such as the Arcam Xeta 2. Selecting this

input overrides the other source selectors

To play back or to monitor the recording from a cassette

deck attached to the PROCESSOR/TAPE 1 input press the

processor button

. 'TAPE' is shown on the display.

For use with an external processor the A22 can be put

into processor mode by first selecting PROC and then

whilst holding in the MODE button

button

again.The display will now show 'PRO' in place

of 'TAPE'. If the processor you are using is an Arcam Xeta 2

then press the PROC button again while holding in the

MODE button so that 'PRO2' is displayed.

The volume level of the integrated amplifier will now be

fixed so that you can use the volume control of the

external processor as a master volume control.

Using the volume or mute buttons on the remote handset

or the front panel control knob will have no effect whilst in

processor mode.The unit will return to processor mode

whenever

is pressed.

Once in 'PRO2' mode the AV,TAPE 1,VCR and DVD

buttons on the CR235 remote control will have no effect.

This is because the Xeta 2 will also respond to these

Remote Control codes and switch to the wrong input.

If you want to change the input back for use as a normal

tape input hold the MODE button in and press the

PROCESSOR button until 'TAPE' appears on the display.

CAUTION: Do not set the integrated amplifier in processor mode

if you have a cassette deck or other line level source attached to

the PROCESSOR/TAPE 1 input.This is because selecting processor

mode input will send a fixed volume signal straight into the power

amplifier which could damage your loudspeakers.

NOTE: If you are using the integrated amplifier with an external

processor, via the PROCESSOR/TAPE 1 loop you must set the vol-

ume of the integrated amplifier so that you can see at least one

segment of the volume level bar graph before switching to the

PROCESSOR input. If you fail to do this you will not hear any

sound from the speakers attached to the integrated amplifier.To

obtain a sound again, reselect another input eg CD and turn the

volume up slightly.

Then reselect the PROCESSOR input.

CONNECTING TO A POWER SUPPLY

CAUTION

Your amplifier generates heat in use. It is therefore most important

to ensure adequate ventilation and not to obstruct the ventilation

slots on the top of the unit as this could cause overheating.

WRONG PLUG ?

If the plug supplied with the amplifier does not fit your power

supply, see the section entitled 'Safety Guidelines' for changing a

plug, or contact your dealer to obtain a suitable power cord.

Check that your mains supply voltage agrees with the voltage

setting indicated on the rear panel of the amplifier at

If your mains supply voltage is different, consult your Arcam dealer

or Arcam Customer Support on 01223 203203.

PLUGGING IN

Push the plug (IEC line socket) of the cable supplied with the

amplifier, into the socket

amplifier. Make sure it is pushed in firmly.

Push the plug on other end of the cable into your power supply

socket.

press the PROC

CONNECTING TO LOUDSPEAKERS

Your amplifier is fitted with loudspeaker terminals,

to BFA, (British Federation of Audio) standard specification.

The terminal will accept spade terminals, bare wires or a BFA plug.

BFA plugs are available from your Arcam dealer. To connect a bare

wire or spade terminal unscrew the red (or black) part of the

loudspeaker terminal first.

Insert the wire or spade terminal and screw it back up.

CAUTION

Do not over tighten the loudspeaker terminals or use a wrench,

pliers, etc., as this could cause damage to the terminals which will

not be covered under warranty.

Connect the right hand speaker to the terminals on the back of

your amplifier marked R and the left speaker to the terminals

marked L.

Connect your loudspeakers so that the red (positive/+) terminal

on each loudspeaker is connected to the red (positive/+) terminal

on the amplifier. Your loudspeaker cables may be marked to show

polarity (negative/- and positive/+), if not, then the positive

terminal can usually be identified by a ridge or coloured

marking.

Now connect your loudspeaker's black (negative/-) terminals to the

black (negative/-) terminal on the amplifier.

Ensure that no stray strands of inner wires are allowed to touch

(POWER INLET) in the back of the

another cable or the amplifier's casing. This can cause a short

circuit and damage your amplifier! Two pairs of speakers may be

connected at the same time provided each pair is rated between 8

and 16 ohms. If one or both pairs have an impedance of less than

8 ohms, the combined load 'seen' by the amplifier will fall below 4

ohms and could cause an overload. The overload protection

circuit will engage and the amplifier will not work.
