operation

Switching on
Switch the unit on by pressing the

pOWER

button. The

status LED glows green when the unit is powered up and

red when in stand-by mode. The remote control is used

to enter and exit standby mode. If the

pOWER

button is

pressed (or power is removed) whilst in standby, the

unit will power up fully when power is re-applied.
note that the remote control sensor is located

underneath the FMJ logo. Do not obstruct this or the

remote control will not work.

Input selection
Select any of the digital audio inputs by pressing the

corresponding front panel or remote control button.

The associated front panel LED will glow red to denote

an inactive connection and green when a valid signal is

detected. The LED will flash green if the signal is invalid

(e.g. a Dolby Digital bitstream). The detected sample

rate will be indicated via the sample rate display at the

left-hand side of the front panel.

Filter selection
Oversampled digital-to-analogue conversion uses

digital filtering to process the signal. The D33 uses

custom processing to provide two different digital

filters, allowing the conversion process to be optimised

to personal preference and listening material. Use the

FIlTER

button on the remote control or front panel to

toggle between the two filter options.

volume and Mute
The remote control provides volume and mute buttons

which are programmed to control any Arcam amplifier.

note that the volume at the D33 output remains fixed at

line level (maximum volume) at all times.

Transport Controls
