audio inputs

Although the inputs are labelled for specific devices, all

have the same characteristics and each may be used with

any line-level product. The exception is the optional

Phono input (see page 16 for specification).

dVd

Intended for the analogue outputs from a DVD-player.

Intended for the analogue outputs from general audio-

visual equipment, such as a VCR, digital TV/satellite

receiver, or Nicam tuner.

tunEr

Intended for the analogue outputs from a radio tuner.

Intended for the analogue outputs from a CD player.

AuX

This is intended for general use. Connect the analogue

audio outputs of any unit with a line-level output (such

as a games console or set-top box).

Recording loops

The A38 is equipped with two recording loops, for use

with recording devices (such as cassette decks, CD

recorders, DAT recorders, VCR, PVR etc.).

AV rEcord out

Connect these output sockets to the input sockets of

your recording device (usually labelled

rEcord

AV PLAy In

Connect the output sockets of your recording device

(usually labelled

) to these inputs.

PLAy

out

If you do not have a recording device, you can use this

input for other (line-level) equipment, such as a TV,

DVD, CD-player, radio tuner, PVR, etc.

PVr rEcord out

These output sockets can be connected to the input

sockets of a second recording device.

PVr PLAy In

Connect the output sockets of your second recording

device to these inputs. Alternatively, this input may be

used for other (line-level) equipment such as a games

console, set-top box, etc.

aV dubbing

You can perform tape dubbing from

, but not

PVr

from

PVr

For example, to copy from a cassette recorder connected

to the

socket, to a cassette recorder connected to the

PVr

socket, first use the

button to select 'Record

rEcord

PVR' . This routes the PVR signal to the

output.

Phono input

As standard, no phono input is fitted to the A38.

The phono module (or an external phono amplifier) is

required if you wish to connect a record player to the

A38. This is because the low-voltage output of a record

player requires a pre-amplification stage before the signal

can be used.

A very high quality phono input is available as an optional

extra: please consult your dealer for price and availability.

The Arcam phono module is compatible with moving-

magnet cartridges (MM) and moving-coil cartridges

(MC). Once the module is fitted, you should select MM

or MC via the recessed

back panel switch (push

MM/Mc

the switch in for MC).

If you have already an external phono amplifier that you

wish to use, connect this to one of the line-level inputs,

such as the

input.

controlling a38 from a second room

The A38 will require a remote pick-up device with a 12V external power supply

(such as a Xantech Dinky Link) located in Zone 2, together with a power amplifier

(such as an Arcam A38 or P38) to complete the system.

The diagram below shows the wiring scheme, which will also apply to other IR

pick-up devices commonly available.

The A38 can also provide a +12V trigger output to control devices such as the

power amplifier in Zone 2. The +12V trigger is active when the unit is 'On' .

Pre-/power-amplifier connections

PrE out

To use your A38 as a dedicated pre-amplifier, or as part

of a bi-amp' e d system, connect the

PrE out

the input sockets of your power amplifier.

Pwr In

To use your A38 as a power-amplifier, connect the

output of your pre-amplifier to the

Pwr In

If you wish to use your A38 as a dedicated pre- or

power-amplifier (but not in the case of a bi-amp' e d

system), press the

switch in on the rear panel.

PrE/Pwr

This separates internally the connection between the

pre- and power-amp. stages of the A38.

When used as a power amplifier, your A38 has exactly

the same specification and performance as a P38,

described later in this handbook.
