Placing the unit

< Place the amplier on a level, rm surface,

avoiding direct sunlight and sources of heat or

damp.

< Do not place the A38 on top of a power amplier

or other source of heat.

< Do not place the amplier in an enclosed space

such as a bookcase or closed cabinet unless there

is good provision for ventilation. e A38 and

P38 are designed to run warm during normal

operation.

< Do not place any other component or item on

top of the amplier as this may obstruct airow

around the heat-sink, causing the amplier to

run hot. (e unit placed on top of the amplier

would become hot, too.)

< Make sure the remote-control receiver to the

le of the front panel display is unobstructed,

otherwise this will impair the use of the remote-

control. If line-of-sight is impractical, a remote-

control repeater can be used with the rear panel

connector (see page 7).

< Do not place your record deck on top of this

unit. Record decks are very sensitive to the noise

generated by mains power supplies which will be

heard as a background ‘hum’ if the record deck is

too close.

Power

e amplier is supplied with a moulded mains plug

already tted to the lead. Check that the plug supplied

ts your supply – should you require a new mains lead,

please contact your Arcam dealer.

If your mains supply voltage or mains plug is dierent,

please contact your Arcam dealer immediately

Push the IEC plug end of the power cable into the

socket on the back of the amplier, making sure that it

is pushed in rmly. Plug the other end of the cable into

your mains socket and, if necessary, switch the socket

on.

Stand-by power

For remote stand-by operation, the amplier’s control

power-supply is kept powered on all the time the unit is

connected to the mains supply. e front-panel power-

switch powers all other circuitry down and power

consumption in this mode is less than 2W.

is means that even though the power-switch is o, it

may be possible to hear a slight residual hum coming

from the mains transformer inside the amplier. is

is perfectly normal. However, if the unit is to be le

unused for an extended period, we recommend that you

disconnect it from the mains supply.

Interconnect cables

We recommend the use of high-quality screened cables

that are designed for the particular application. Other

cables will have dierent impedance characteristics

that will degrade the performance of your system (for

example, do not use cabling intended for video use to

carry audio signals). All cables should be kept as short

as is practically possible.

It is good practice when connecting your equipment to

make sure that the mains power-supply cabling is kept

as far away as possible from your audio cables. Failure to

do so may result in unwanted noise in the audio signals.
