Recording an audio source
The A18 allows you to record and monitor the sound
from any connected source.
The back panel
AV out or pVr out sockets can be
connected to the input sockets of your recording device
(these are usually labelled record or In ). The two
recording loops have a similar function to each other,
but are not exactly the same in operation.
To record from a particular source, press the appropriate
source button (for example, tuner ), then press AV . Any
source selected immediately before AV is routed to the
AV out connectors for recording purposes and is shown
on the front panel (e.g. RC TUNER).
The
pVr out also has the source selected immediately
before AV routed to it, unless that source is pVr In , in
which case pVr out is muted. As with AV out , changing
to another source will change the signal that is sent to
pVr out .
troubleshooting
If you are having trouble with your amplifier, check the
following items.
no sound
Check the following:
< The A18 amplifier is powered up and switched on.
< The amplifier is not muted (i.e. Mute is not shown
on the display panel).
< The selected source is generating audio (e.g., if CD
is selected, then the CD is playing).
< The AV input is selected on the A18 instead of the
expected source. If there is no sound because the
AV input is selected, press the correct source button
on the front panel or remote control.
< The speaker outputs are connected on the A18 (or
on the power amplifier, in the case of a bi-amping
arrangement).
Sound cuts-out unexpectedly
If the temperature of the internal heatsink rises above
a safe level, then a thermal cut-out inside the amplifier
operates to protect the unit and the protection system
temporarily removes power to the speakers. The system
will reset itself as the heatsink cools down.
< With two pairs of low-impedance speakers
connected (6 Ω or less), overloads are more likely.
Overloading the amplifier may cause it to shut
down because of overheating.
< Note that, due to the high output voltage from a
CD player, it is possible to drive your amplifier at
full power even though the volume is not set at
maximum.
