Arcam Digital Pre -Amplifier Delta 110 - Manual (Page 10)

Delta 110 digital pre-amplifier
Remote control of the Delta 110
The CR20 remote control handset is supplied with the Delta
110. It is powered by 4 x alkaline manganese AAA cells (supplied), which
are inserted in the base of the handset. To access the battery
compartment, slide the whole bottom panel forwards approximately
5cm (2 inches).
Take care to insert the batteries the right way round. We
recommend that the batteries should be removed from the handset if it is
not to be used for some time.
Using your CR20 remote control
The CR20 remote handset has a range of about 5 metres, and
should always be pointed at the centre of the Delta 110. Take care not to
obstruct the remote receiver (located immediately below the mute LED)
or the pre-amplifier will not accept the handset's commands.
When using your handset, hold each button down for about
I second. Do not attempt to press more than one button at a time.
The CR20 allows remote selection of any of the seven inputs,
together with the absolute phase of the digital inputs, and mono/
stereo selection.
In addition the CR20 allows the user to adjust the volume
control up and down by pressing the 'volume' -I- and - keys. These
activate a small motor behind the volume control; it takes approximately
6 seconds to go from zero to maximum or vice-versa. It is not possible to
adjust the balance by remote control.
The mute button reduces the output level of the pre­
amplifier by 40dB - when it is activated the mute LED in the centre of
the pre-amplifier glows red. This can be most useful when taking
telephone calls or answering the front door etc. Pushing the mute
button for a second time will restore normal operation.
The red standby button puts the whole pre-amplifier into
'standby' mode. All inputs/outputs are disabled and only the green
power LED remains on. Nevertheless, all power supplies remain active,
keeping the Delta 110's circuits fully warmed up and ready for use.
All functions may be restored to their pre-standby status by
pressing the standby button for a second time.
Notes
1. If the remote control becomes lost or accidentally
disabled, it is possible to remove the Delta 110 from its standby or mute
modes by briefly switching the unit off and on again with the mains
power switch.
2. The 'record' function has been deliberately omitted from
the remote control in order to avoid accidental or inadvertent operation.
3. The volume control of the Delta 110 may also be operated
by the CR10 remote control handset supplied with Arcam CD players
(Arcam Alpha, Delta 70.2 and Delta I 70 models). Other handsets that
use the Philips RC-5 system may also be compatible.
4. The two unmarked buttons on the CR20 have
no function.
