Service information

Continual improvement policy

Arcam has a policy of continual improvement for its products.
This means that designs and specifications are subject to
change without notice.

NOTE: All specification values are typical unless otherwise
stated.

Before returning your amplifier for service, please check the
following:

Sound cuts out for no reason

If the temperature of the internal heatsink rises above a safe
level, then a thermal cutout inside the amplifier will operate.
The power indicator on the front panel flashes and the
protection system temporarily removes the power to the
speakers. The system resets after the heatsink has cooled
down.

Note that because of the high output voltage from a CD player,
it is possible to drive the A80 at full power even though the
volume is not set at maximum.

Amplifier does not switch back on

The A80 and P80 amplifiers have a protection mechanism
which is activated if you switch the unit on immediately after
turning it off. If this mechanism activates, wait 30 seconds then
switch back on again.
