Connecting to other equipment
All of the input sockets (except PHONO ) have the same
sensitivity and may be used with equipment other than that
labelled, if you need to do so.
The use of high quality interconnect cables to and from other
hi-fi equipment is recommended to ensure the best sound
quality (sonic performance). Ask your Arcam dealer’s advice on
cable selection.
AV PROCESSOR/TAPE switch br (A75 only)
If you are using the amplifi er with an external processor such
as a Dolby Pro Logic or Dolby Digital decoder you should
select the AV processor. Connect the left and right audio output
sockets of your processor to the corresponding AV/DVD input
8 . Press and hold the TAPE MONITOR switch br for fi ve
or more seconds, the amplifi er switches to a fi xed gain. This
allows the volume control of your processor to act as a master
control and adjust the sound level of the speakers attached
to both the A75 and the processor simultaneously. If you then
switch back to another input, for example,
CD , the volume
control is switched back in circuit again and the amplifi er
functions as normal. You may hear a slight ‘click’ when you
switch to another input. This is normal.
WARNING: If the AV PROCESSOR/TAPE switch is set to
AV PROCESSOR and the LED is illuminated, do not
use the AV/DVD socket for any equipment except a
processor with its own volume control. Otherwise this
could result in a signal being sent to your loudspeakers
at high levels which may damage the loudspeakers.
PRE-AMP OUT 5
You will only need to use these sockets if you have a separate
power amplifi er. To use your amplifi er as a preamplifi er connect
these sockets to the input sockets (
POWER AMP IN or
PWR AMP IN ) of your power amplifi er. If your power amplifi er
is an Arcam P75, P85 or Alpha series you can use it in
conjunction with the power amplifi ers in your integrated amplifi er
to bi-amplify suitable loudspeakers. See the section ‘Bi-wiring
and bi-amping loudspeakers’ for details.
TAPE RECORD OUT 6
Connect these output sockets to the input sockets of your
cassette deck (usually labelled
RECORD ).
TAPE PLAY IN 7
Connect these input sockets to the output sockets of your
cassette deck (usually labelled
PLAY ). If you do not have a
cassette deck you can use this input for other (line level)
equipment, such as a CD player, tuner, VCR, etc., but not a
turntable (record deck).
AV/DVD 8 VCR 9 TUNER bk CD bl
( AV =audio visual, DVD =digital versatile disc)
Connect these input sockets to the audio output sockets of the
above named equipment.
PHONO bm
Connect these input sockets to the leads from your turntable
(record deck). The phono stage is suitable for moving magnet
(MM) or high output moving coil (MC) cartridges. If you are
using a low output MC cartridge ask your dealer about a
suitable external MC preamplifi er.
PHONO/LINE switch bn (A75 only)
If you don’t have a record deck and therefore don’t want to use
the
PHONO input socket, press this button in (with the tip of a
pencil or a ball point pen) to convert the PHONO input to a LINE
input for equipment such as a CD player, tuner, VCR etc. Press
and release the button to use as
PHONO input again.
