Recording loops

The C31 is equipped with two recording loops, for use with recording devices (such as cassette decks,

MiniDisc players, VCR's etc.)

TAPE/PROC RECORD OUT – Connect these output sockets to the input sockets of your recording

device (usually labelled

TAPE/PROC PLAY IN – Connect the output sockets of your recording device (usually labelled

) to these inputs.

OUT

If you do not have a recording device, you can use this input for other (line-level) equipment, such

as a CD-player, tuner, VCR, etc.

VCR/TAPE2 RECORD OUT – These output sockets can be connected to the input sockets of a

second recording device.

VCR/TAPE2 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 CD-player,

tuner, etc.

Power-amplifier connections

PRE OUT – The recommended connection between the C31 pre-amplifier and your power

456

amplifier depends on both the distance between the two and the type of power amplifier that you are

using. There are three options:

1. If the cables to be used to connect the C31 to the power amplifier are less than 3m long, we

recommend connecting the

P35 and P1, connect to the socket(s) labelled

If the cables to be used to connect the C31 to the power amplifier are 3m or longer, then the connection

to use depends on the type of power amplifier you have.

2. If your power amplifier does not have balanced inputs (such as the P35), use the

outputs

BUFFERED

3. If your power amplifier provides balanced inputs (such as the P1), use the balanced outputs

the P1, connect to the sockets labelled

The buffered and balanced outputs are designed to drive longer cables than the direct output, but you

cannot damage either your C31 or your power amp. by using the "wrong" connection type.

Other connections

must not be used as a safety earth.

room installations.

: This output provides a 12V signal whenever the unit is switched on (i.e.,

TRIG OUT

not off or in stand-by). This signal can be used to switch on power amplifiers (or other

equipment) connected to the C31, as they will come on when the C31 is activated. This is

useful if the power amplifier is remote from the C31, or otherwise difficult to access.

: This allows remote-control signals to be received by the C31 if the remote

REMOTE IN

sensor is covered (or otherwise not 'visible' to the remote-control). An external sensor

(such as the Xantech 'Dinky Link'™) is used to receive the signals from the remote-control,

which are then fed to the C31 (into this input) using a suitable cable.

In normal use there is no need to make any connections to either of these sockets.

Connecting to a power supply

Mains lead

The appliance is normally supplied with a moulded mains plug already fitted to the lead. Check

that the plug fits your supply and that your mains supply voltage agrees with the voltage

setting (115V or 230V) indicated on the rear panel of the unit

If your mains supply voltage or mains plug is different, please consult your Arcam dealer

immediately.

Plugging in

Push the IEC-plug of the power cable into the socket

making sure it is pushed in firmly.

Stand-by power

For remote stand-by operation, the amplifier'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 all other circuitry down and

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 amplifier. This is perfectly normal. If the unit is to be left

unused for an extended period, however, we recommend that it is disconnected from the mains supply.

The 12V-trigger uses

a 3.5mm mono jack

plug, wired as follows:

Sleeve: Ground

Tip: Active

When the C31 is

powered-on, the tip

carries 12V, current-

limited to 30mA; other-

wise the tip carries 0V.

The remote-in also uses

a 3.5mm mono jack

plug, wired as above.

Remote control signals

must be in modulated

RC5 format, with a

voltage level of 5–15V.

Note that the remote

receiver will require its

own power-supply.
