Connecting to a power supply
Wrong plug?
Check that the plug supplied with the unit fi ts your supply and
that your mains supply voltage agrees with the voltage setting
(115V or 230V) indicated on the rear panel of the unit
before plugging in.
If your mains supply voltage or mains plug is different, consult
your Arcam dealer or Arcam Customer Support on +44
(0)1223 203203.
The product must be earthed.
Mains lead
The appliance is normally supplied with a moulded mains plug
already fi tted 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.
Plugging in
Push the plug (IEC line socket) of the power cable supplied with
the unit into the socket (
POWER INLET
unit. Make sure it is pushed in fi rmly.
Put the plug on the other end of the cable into your power
supply socket and switch the socket on.
Standby power
For remote standby operation, the amplifi er's control power
supply is kept powered up all the time the unit is connected to
the mains supply. The front panel power switch powers down
all other circuitry. Power consumption in this mode is less than
2W.
This means that even though the power switch is off, it may be
possible to hear a slight residual hum coming from the mains
transformer inside the amplifi er. This is perfectly normal. If the
unit is to be left unused for an extended period, we recommend
that it is disconnected from the mains supply by switching it
off at the wall socket.
Connecting to other equipment
The use of high quality interconnect cables to and from your
amplifi er is recommended to ensure the best sound quality.

NOTE: The AUX inputs must not be used if the phono module
is fi tted. When this is fi tted AUX becomes an output carrying
the equalised phono signal at line level.

PHONO
– As standard, phono inputs are blanked. Phono
inputs are provided on a separate plug-in module which your
Arcam dealer or distributor can supply and fi t. This module
is compatible with most high output moving coil and moving
magnet cartridges (MM) and low output moving coil cartridges
(MC). MM or MC is selected via the
Phono earth terminal – For connecting your turntable earth
lead (if fi tted). Note that this terminal must not be used as a
safety earth.

TRIG OUT and REMOTE IN
connections are for use in multi-room installations. In normal
use there is no need to make any connections to these
sockets. If you are bi-amping with a power amplifi er and wish to
power both units on or off simultaneously, see page 11.
