RECORD SELECTOR - Selects the input you wish to
record onto TAPE 1. This operates independently of the
LISTEN function. Alternatively this switch can also be
used as a simple 'second zone' selector, routing a
chosen source signal at line level to a second amplifier
operating in another room in the house.
®
VOLUME - Adjusts the volume level of the loudspeakers
and headphones.
Note that with the volume at minimum it may be possible
to still hear music very faintly. This is normal.
The VOLUME control Is motorised and can be controlled
remotely with the supplied remote control handset (see
Remote Control functions for more details).
©
PROCESSOR/TAPE 2- This is a tape loop to permit you
to monitor a recording made on a 3 head cassette deck.
It can also be used to enable line inputs to be sent to an
external surround decoder such as the Arcam Xeta 2 for
processing, before being routed back to the amplifier.
For playback from a cassette deck or to reconnect the
output from an AN processor attached to TAPE 2 press
the button in.
With the button out the 'loop' Is taken out of circuit, so
that the Input signal chosen with the LISTEN selector is
played through the amplifier.
Note: PROCESSOR/TAPE 2 is not remote controllable.
©
DIRECT - When this button is pushed in it bypasses the
bass, treble and balance controls. This affects all inputs,
and will generally give a small improvement In sound
quality and a useful reduction in the level of background
hiss.
®
BASS - Rotate clockwise to boost the bass response
and anti-clockwise to cut the bass response. For a flat
response leave in the central 'click' position.
®
TREBLE - Rotate clockwise to boost the treble response
and anti-clockwise to cut the treble response. For a flat
response leave in the central 'click' position.
■
The range of the tone controls has been deliberately
limited to approximately +/- 8dB at the frequency
extremes.
©
BALANCE - Rotate clockwise or anti-clockwise to move
the position of the stereo image. This may be necessary
if It is not possible to sit centrally between the speakers.
In normal use leave in the central 'click' position.
©
SP1 - Selects or defeats the main pair of speakers.
Push the button in to select.
©
SP2 - Selects or defeats the secondary pair of speakers.
Push the button in to select.
Important note: If both switches are turned off then the
amplifier will appear not to be functioning, as all
speakers will be switched off!
©
HEADPHONES SOCKET - Accepts headphones rated
between 8 ohms and 2kohms fitted with a 6.3mm stereo
jack plug. If your headphones are fitted with a different
plug contact your dealer for a suitable adaptor. If you
wish to listen on headphones only, use SP1 and SP2 (if
necessary) to mute the speakers.
■
The headphone socket is always switched on,
irrespective of the positions of switches © and ©.
©
POWER - Switches the unit on and off.
©
POWER LED - The LED above the POWER switch will
Initially glow amber. After a few seconds, it will glow
green. When the LED glows amber, the speakers are
disconnected and an Internal protection circuit Is
activated or the unit has been muted by use of the
remote control. If this LED glows amber during normal
use it may be due to the amplifier overheating or an
output overload.
Check the amplifier is properly
ventilated.
Switch the amplifier off and wait for 2-3 minutes before
switching on again. If the LED continues to glow amber,
switch the unit off, remove all the speaker cables and
switch on again. If the LED goes to green upon switch
on then check the speaker and speaker cables for short
circuits before reconnecting them.
If the LED continues to glow amber with no speakers
connected contact your Arcam dealer.

REMOTE RECEIVER - The remote receiver is behind
the badge in the top left hand corner of the unit. Ensure
the remote receiver Is not obscured or commands from
the remote control handset will not be received.
TAPE RECORDING
■
Both sets of tape sockets (TAPE 1 and TAPE 2) are
identical in sensitivity and suitable for use with almost
any type of recorder (cassette, hi-fi VCR, reel to reel,
DAT, etc.)
■
Use the RECORD selector to route the required signal
to a cassette deck connected to the TAPE 1 RECORD
OUT sockets.
■
Use the LISTEN selector to route the required signal to
a cassette deck connected to the TAPE 2 RECORD
OUT sockets.
■
RECORDING (TAPE 1): Any input signal available on
the Alpha 9 may be routed to the TAPE 1 output sockets
by using the RECORD selector to select the appropriate
input.
Set your tape recorder into its recording mode and the
selected Input will be recorded.
Selecting the same input with the LISTEN selector will
not affect the signal sent out to the recorder and will now
enable you to listen to the signal being recorded. You
may listen to another input whilst recording on TAPE 1
by use of the LISTEN selector.
If your tape recorder is a 3 head design, this will allow A-
B monitoring of the actual recording while it is taking
place.
Svyitching the LISTEN switch between the
original source and TAPE 1 during recording will then
enable you to make a true 'before' and 'after' (A-B)
comparison.
■
TAPE TO TAPE DUBBING: The Alpha 9 allows two way
tape dubbing (copying) from TAPE 1 to TAPE 2 or vice
versa.
For example, to copy from a recorder connected to the
TAPE 2 sockets to a recorder connected to TAPE 1, first
switch the RECORD selector on the Alpha 9 to TAPE 2.
This routes the TAPE 2 signal to TAPE 1 's output.
