Arcam Delta 290 - Manual (Page 6)

TREBLE - Rotate clockwise to boost
the treble response and anti-clockwise to
cut the treble response. For a flat
response leave in the central 'click'
position.
BALANCE - Rotate clockwise or anti­
clockwise to move the position of the
stereo image. This may be necessary if it
is not possible to sit centrally between the
speakers. In normal use leave in the
central 'click' position.
SPl - Selects or defeats the main pair of
speakers. If you wish to listen on
headphones only, use SPl and SP2 (if
necessary) to mute the speakers.
SP2 - Selects or defeats the secondary
pair of speakers.
HEADPHONES SOCKETS - Accepts
headphones rated between 8 ohms and
2kohms fitted with a 6.3mm stereo jack
plug. If your headphones are fitted with
a different plug contact your dealer for a
suitable adaptor.
REMOTE RECEIVER - Ensure the
remote receiver is not obscured or
commands from the remote control
handset will not be received.
POWER - Switches the unit on and off.
POWER LED - The LED above the
POWER switch will initially glow
amber. After a few seconds, it will glow
green. When the LED glows amber, the
speakers are disconnected and an internal
protection circuit is activated. If this
LED glows amber during nonnal use it
may be due to the amplifier overheating.
Check
the amplifier is properly
ventilated.
Switch the amplifier off and wait for at
least 5 minutes before switching on again.
If the LED continues to glow amber,
switch the unit off and contact your
Arcani dealer.
BI-WIRING - When using only one
pair of loudspeakers in the system, it is
possible to use both SPl and SP2 outputs
to bi-wire your speakers. This is
particularly useful if you have two
separate pairs of speaker cables.
Connect the SPl outputs to the speakers'
high frequency drive units (tweeters) and
the SP2 outputs to the speakers' low
frequency drive units (woofers). Ensure
both SPl and SP2 selection switches are
in the "on" position.
In order to bi-wire when two pairs of
speakers are used in the system, join the
treble and bass cables for each speaker
together at the amplifier end and
temiinate with one pair of speaker plugs.
Connect to either SPl or SP2. This will
leave one pair of tenninals free for your
second pair of speakers.
REMOTE MODE - The Delta 290 is
fitted with an internal Remote Mode
selector switch, which is factory-set to
NORMAL. In NORMAL mode, the
Arcani 'Handi-Remote' or CR200
System Remote will synchronise the
operation of any Arcam CD player or
transport, cassette deck or remote control
tuner with the LISTEN selector on the
Delta 290, all at the touch of a single
button.
For example, using the remote in CD
mode, press PLAY, and the CD player
will start the disc and the LISTEN
function selects CD.
