User manual ARCAM RWAVE

[. . . ] The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the product. CAUTION: In Canada and the USA, to prevent electric shock, match the wide blade of the plug to the wide slot in the socket and insert the plug fully into the socket. Many of these items are common sense precautions but, for your own safety and to ensure that you do not damage the unit, we recommend that you read them. important safety instructions This product is designed and manufactured to meet strict quality and safety standards. However, you should be aware of the following installation and operation precautions. Take heed of warnings and instructions You should read all the safety and operating instructions before operating this equipment. [. . . ] Note that this terminal must not be used as a safety earth. Remote in Voltage select Ensure the voltage selected matches your local power supply. This allows remote-control signals to be received by the A28 if the remote sensor is covered (or otherwise not `visible' to the remote-control). See page 7 for more information. audio inputs The labels below the inputs give suggested audio inputs, although any suitable device may be connected to the line-level inputs. (Note, however, that the name of the input shown on the front-panel display cannot be changed. ) DVD, SAT, TUNER, CD and AUX are all line-level inputs. The phoNo (MM) input has different characteristics ­ see page 14 for the specification. Trig out This output provides a 12V signal whenever the unit is switched on (i. e. , not `off ' or in `stand-by'). This signal can be used to switch on power amplifiers (or other equipment) connected to the A28. See page 7 for more information. Pre-/power-amplifier connections These sockets are only used if you are using the A28 as a pre-amp, for example, when using the A28 in conjunction with a P38 in a bi-amplified system. See page 9 for more information. Recording loop The A28 is equipped with a recording loop for use with recording devices (CD recorders, cassette decks, etc. ). See pages 7 and 10 for more information. noTe Please read the `Placing the unit', `Power' and `Interconnect cables' sections on page 5 before connecting up your A28 integrated amplifier! e-6 Pre-/power-amplifier connections pRE oUT To use your A28 as a dedicated pre-amplifier, or as part of a bi-amp'ed system, connect the pRE oUT sockets to the input sockets of your power amplifier. Recording loop The A28 is equipped with a recording loop, for use with recording devices (such as a CD recorder, DAT recorder, cassette recorder, VCR, PVR etc. ). We recommend that your amplifier is completely disconnected from the mains supply before starting. Before switching your amplifier(s) on for the first time after connecting to speakers, please check all connections thoroughly. Ensure that bare wires or cables are not touching each other or the amplifier's chassis (which could cause short circuits), and that you have connected positive (+) to positive and negative (­) to negative. The power light may flash if a fault has occurred ­ the fault type is shown on the display. See page 15, `Troubleshooting', for help in resolving fault situations. If the fault cannot be cleared, unplug your amplifier and contact your Arcam dealer. changing the volume Use the control knob to change the volume. Turn the knob clockwise to increase the volume, anti-clockwise to reduce it. The output of the A28 can be silenced by pressing MUTE on the front panel or remote control. Press MUTE for a second time (or change the volume) to cancel the mute. Selecting an audio source A source-selection button is used to select the source that is connected to the input corresponding to the button. Recording an audio source The A28 allows listening to and recording from the same source, or listening to one source whilst recording another. The signal to be recorded is sent to both the AV and AUX output sockets. listening using headphones The headphones socket (phoNES) accepts headphones with an impedance rating between 8 and 2k, fitted with a 6. 5mm stereo jack plug. The headphones socket is always active, unless the volume has been muted. Selecting the source for recording The recording outputs can be configured in two ways: 1. To record a particular (specified) source, regardless of what is being listened to. To record the source being listened to, press the RECoRD button and turn the control knob if necessary until the display shows `REC SRC'. After a few seconds, the display reverts to showing the volume level, and you are ready to record.

The device selection keys: DVD, SAT, AV (TV), TUN, AMp and AUX, both select the source and configure the CR90 to control the particular source. In other words, the buttons are often `context sensitive' so you'll have to tell it what sort of device you wish to control (press the AV button for a video display, for example) before you can control it. remote control The CR90 is a sophisticated `universal' remote control that can control up to eight devices. It's pre-programmed for use with the A28 and many other Arcam products (FM/DAB tuners, CD players and DVD players). [. . . ]
