User manual ARCAM RWAVE

[. . . ] The lightning flash with an arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated `dangerous voltage' within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons. The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the product. CAUTION: In Canada and the USA, to prevent electric shock, match the wide blade of the plug to the wide slot in the socket and insert the plug fully into the socket. Many of these items are common sense precautions but, for your own safety and to ensure that you do not damage the unit, we recommend that you read them. important safety instructions This product is designed and manufactured to meet strict quality and safety standards. However, you should be aware of the following installation and operation precautions. [. . . ] The front-panel powerswitch 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. However, if the unit is to be left unused for an extended period, we recommend that you disconnect it from the mains supply. < < e-5 english noTe A28 connections The TRIG oUT and REMoTE IN functions are only used in multi-room systems. They are not required for normal use. Speaker terminals The A28 is equipped with two sets of speaker terminals. See page 8 for information on connecting loudspeakers. Power inlet Connect the correct mains cable here. Phono earth terminal For connecting your turntable earth lead (if required). Note that this terminal must not be used as a safety earth. Remote in Voltage select Ensure the voltage selected matches your local power supply. This allows remote-control signals to be received by the A28 if the remote sensor is covered (or otherwise not `visible' to the remote-control). See page 7 for more information. audio inputs The labels below the inputs give suggested audio inputs, although any suitable device may be connected to the line-level inputs. (Note, however, that the name of the input shown on the front-panel display cannot be changed. ) DVD, SAT, TUNER, CD and AUX are all line-level inputs. The phoNo (MM) input has different characteristics ­ see page 14 for the specification. Trig out This output provides a 12V signal whenever the unit is switched on (i. e. , not `off ' or in `stand-by'). This signal can be used to switch on power amplifiers (or other equipment) connected to the A28. See page 7 for more information. Pre-/power-amplifier connections These sockets are only used if you are using the A28 as a pre-amp, for example, when using the A28 in conjunction with a P38 in a bi-amplified system. Connect your A28 to the speakers as described for single wiring, with the exception that the A28 should be connected to the speaker terminals labelled hF or `High Frequency'. Then connect the power amplifier (P38, for example) to the LF or `Low Frequency' terminals, as in the diagram. A pair of audio interconnect cables are also required to connect the pre-amp outputs of the A28 to the power amp inputs of the P38. Note that the strip of metal on the speakers connecting the lower terminals to the upper terminals mUST be RemOVeD. Failure to do so will result in damage to both amplifiers, which will not normally be covered under warranty. An A28 and P38 connected to speakers using biamping e-9 a v -ph 20 operation Switching the a28 on The powER button switches the unit on and off; alternatively, the unit can be switched in and out of stand-by mode by pressing the 2 button on the remote control handset. The power light (next to the `A28 Integrated Amplifier' text) indicates the state of the amplifier: 1. A red light means that the amplifier is in stand-by mode; 2. When you switch your amplifier on, the power light glows amber for a few seconds; during this time the outputs are muted; 3. The light changes to green when the amplifier is ready for use. The power light may flash if a fault has occurred ­ the fault type is shown on the display. See page 15, `Troubleshooting', for help in resolving fault situations. [. . . ] The CR90 is a `learning' remote, so you can teach it almost any function from an old single-device remote. You can also program the CR90 to issue a sequence of commands (`macros') from a single button press ­ see the CR90 Handbook for details. As the CR90 is a system remote controller, some of the keys are not used with the A28. For instance, the pVR and CD keys can still be programmed to control products, so if you have a PVR connected directly to your TV or SAT box, you can use the CR90 to control it as part of your system. inserting batteries into the remote control 1. Open the battery compartment by pressing the button on the back of the handset. Select the source key first Remember to select a source key before pressing command buttons ­ commands vary depending on the source selected! 2.
