Standby power

For remote standby operation, the amplier’s control power

supply is kept powered up all the time the unit is connected to

the mains supply. The front panel power switch powers down all

other circuitry. Power consumption in this mode is less than 2W.

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

possible to hear a slight residual 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.

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.

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.

VCR/TAPE2 RECORD OUT

– These output sockets can

be connected to the input sockets of VCR/second recorder

(usually labelled RECORD).

VCR/TAPE2 PLAY IN

– Connect these input sockets

to the output sockets of your VCR/second recorder (usually

labelled PLAY). Alternatively, you can use this input for other

(line level) equipment such as a CD player, tuner, etc., but not a

turntable.

DVD

– Connect this input to the audio outputs of a DVD

player.

– Connect this input to 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.

NOTE: The AUX inputs must not be used if the phono module

is tted. When this is tted AUX becomes an output carrying

the equalised phono signal at line level.

PHONO

– As standard, phono inputs are blanked. Phono

inputs are provided on a separate plug-in module which your

Arcam dealer or distributor can supply and t. This module

is compatible with most high output moving coil and moving

magnet cartridges (MM) and low output moving coil cartridges

(MC). MM or MC is selected via the MM/MC back panel switch.

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 A90, as they will

come on when the A90 is activated. This is useful if the

power amplier is remote from the A90, or otherwise

difcult to access.

REMOTE IN – This allows remote control signals to be received

by the A90 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 A90 (into this input) using a

suitable cable. Remote control signals acceptable to the

A90 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

PWR IN

– To use your integrated amplier as a power

amplier, connect the output of your pre-amplier to the PWR IN

sockets.

Press in the PRE/PWR switch

on the rear panel to

select separate pre-amp/power amp mode. Under these

circumstances your A90 has exactly the same specication and

performance as a power amplier (see page 10).

PRE OUT

– To use your integrated 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 P90 power amplier) you can bi-amplify (‘bi-amp’)

suitable loudspeakers, giving signicant improvements in sound

quality (see page 12).
