Connecting to an additional
power amplifier
e A39 provides a pair of unbalanced pre-outs on
standard RCA phono connectors, allowing connection
to an additional power amplier to create a bi-amplied
setup. Most audio ampliers, including the Arcam P49,
will connect to the pre amp outputs of the A39 using
standard interconnect cables.
Recording an audio source
e A39 allows you to record and monitor the sound
from any connected source.
e back panel REC OUT socket can be connected to the
input sockets of your recording device (these are usually
labelled RECORD or IN).
To record from a particular source, press the appropriate
source button (for example, TUNER).
Adjusting the balance
e balance setting allows you to increase the volume of
one channel (le or right) relative to the other. Altering
the balance may help to restore the stereo image for an
o-centre listening position.
Balance can be adjusted from the front panel or from the
remote control. Press the BALANCE button (or BAL on the
CR902) to view the current setting, then use the control
knob (or the +/ buttons on the remote) to change the
setting – from L12 to R12, via the neutral value 0.
Speaker Control
e SP1 and SP2 switches enable and disable the
respective speaker outputs. e LED will be lit if the
speakers are enabled.
Listening
Volume control
Use the control knob (or the +/ buttons on the remote)
to change the volume. Turn the knob clockwise to
increase the volume, anti-clockwise to reduce it.
Listening using headphones
e headphones socket (PHONES) accepts headphones
with an impedance rating between 16Ω and 2kΩ, tted
with a 3.5mm stereo jack plug.
e pre-amp outputs and speakers are muted when
headphones are plugged in and the front panel display
shows Headphone.
e headphones socket is always active, unless output
has been muted.
Muting output
e output of the A39 can be silenced by pressing MUTE
on the front panel (or
-
on the remote control). If the
unit is muted, the power light changes to orange and
the source is shown on the front display panel (e.g. PVR
MUTE).
Press MUTE/
-
for a second time (or change the volume)
to cancel mute.
