Input Trims – use the source select buttons
and Control knob to set input trims for each
source. Input trims are used to compensate
for variations in output levels of different
source equipment.
Tone Control – Global or Per source.
This specifies the scope of changes for ‘Bass’
and ‘Treble’ tone settings. The default setting
is ‘Global’ which affects all inputs equally.
‘Per source’ allows you to set tone controls
for individual inputs: once set, the amplifier
remembers tone settings for each input.
Welcome message – You can change the power
on Welcome message from ‘ Arcam Amp’ to
display your name, postcode, etc. When customising
the message, use the UP and DOWN buttons to
select the cursor position and the Control knob to
change the letter.
Volume Resolution – Standard, fine
or Reference. ‘Standard’ and ‘Fine’ represent
different levels of volume control sensitivity. The
‘Reference’ setting gives absolute increments in
0.5dB steps.
Volume display mode – graphic or
numeric shows the volume either as a bar
graph or as a number. If Volume resolution is
set to ‘Reference’ a numeric volume display
shows the actual decibel figure.
