A80/P80

This means that even though the power switch is off, it may

be possible to hear a slight hum coming from the mains

transformer inside the amplier. This is perfectly normal. If the

unit is to be left unused for an extended period, we recommend

that it is disconnected from the mains supply by switching it off

at the wall socket, or by disconnecting the power lead.

Connecting to other equipment

The use of high quality interconnect cables to and from your

amplier is recommended to ensure the best sound quality.

Sockets marked L (and R) on your amplier should only be

connected to sockets marked L (and R) on other equipment. All

the line inputs have the same sensitivity and may be used with

equipment other than that labelled, if needed.

LINE OUT

– Connect this output to the audio inputs of any

unit with a line-level input, e.g., tape deck, etc.

TAPE1/RECORD OUT

– Connect these output sockets

to the input sockets of your cassette deck (usually labelled

RECORD).

TAPE1/PLAY IN

– Connect these input sockets to the

output sockets of your cassette deck (usually labelled PLAY). If

you do not have a cassette deck you can use this input for other

(line level) equipment, such as a CD player, tuner, VCR, etc., but

not a turntable.

DVD

– Connect this input to the audio outputs of a DVD

player.

– Connect this input to the audio outputs of audiovisual

equipment such as a VCR, laserdisc player, satellite or Nicam

tuner.

TUNER

– Connect this input to the audio outputs of your

radio tuner.

– Connect this input to the audio outputs of your CD

player or DAC (digital to analogue converter).

AUX

– Connect this input to the audio outputs of any unit

with a line level output, e.g. tape deck, tuner, etc.

PHONO

– Connect this input to the output of your record

player. This input provides RIAA equalization and is compatible

with most high output moving magnet (MM) cartridges.

Phono earth terminal – For connecting your turntable earth

lead (if tted). Note that this terminal must not be used as a

safety earth.

TRIG OUT AND REMOTE IN

(12V in and out) – These

connections are intended for use in multi-room installations.

TRIG OUT – This output provides a 12V signal whenever the unit

is switched on (i.e., not off or in standby). This signal can

be used to switch on automatically power ampliers (or

other equipment) connected to the A80, as they will come

on when the A80 is activated. This is useful if the power

amplier is remote from the A80, or otherwise difcult to

access. If you are bi-amping with a power amplier and

wish to power both units on or off simultaneously, see

page 10.

REMOTE IN – This allows remote control signals to be received

by the A80 if the remote sensor is covered (or otherwise

not ‘visible’ to the remote control). An external sensor is

used to receive the signals from the remote control, which

are then fed to the A80 (into this input) using a suitable

cable. Remote control signals acceptable to the A80

must be in modulated RC5 format, with a voltage level of

between 5V and 15V.

Note that in normal use there is no need to make any

connections to these sockets. If you would like to make use of

these features, please contact your dealer for more advice on

how to make the connections and on what type of cable to use.

Pre/power amplier connections

If you wish to use your A80 as a power amplier, please consult

your Arcam dealer.

PRE OUT

– To use your amplier as a pre-amplier,

connect the PRE OUT sockets to the input sockets of your

power amplier. With a power amplier of the correct gain (e.g.

the P80 power amplier) you can bi-amplify (‘bi-amp’) suitable

loudspeakers, giving signicant improvements in sound quality

(see page 12).

The different output types

The distinction between PRE OUT, LINE OUT and RECORD OUT

output types is subtle but important.

PRE OUT: This is the output that should be connected to your

power amplier. The output level varies with the volume

control.

LINE OUT: This output is taken before the volume control, i.e.,

the source being listened to is routed directly to this

output. If you wish, this output may be connected to a

recording device, such as a cassette recorder. Under

no circumstances should this output be connected to a

power amplier.

RECORD OUT: The output from the RECORD OUT connectors

is dependent on the conguation of the amplier. Full

instructions for this output are given on page 7; briey,

if the amplier is congured to ‘REC SOURCE’, then

this output will carry the same signal as the LINE OUT

connection. If the amplier is congured so that you are

recording a different source than the one you are listening

to, then the RECORD OUT connections will carry the

source being recorded.
