Thank you for choosing ARCAM FOUR MODELS CONTENTS This Handbook covers 4 different models, as follows: For ease of use, this handbook has been divided into 4 sections.
Integrated amp - Using the Remote Control Integrated amplifier - User Guide 7 Circled numbers in the text, e.g. , refer to the numbers on the pictures. If your integrated amplifier HAS NOT been installed for you, you should read the section entitled ‘Setting up’ before using the ‘User Guide’. dp dq do If you have an integrated amplifier or MARC amplifier, you will have a Remote Control similar to the one shown below.
Integrated amp - Setting up Integrated amp - Advanced features dp dq do CONNECTING TO A POWER SUPPLY CAUTION Your amplifier generates heat in use. It is therefore most important to ensure adequate ventilation and not to obstruct the ventilation slots on the top of the unit as this could cause overheating.

DAVE amplifier - User Guide or....USING THE FRONT PANEL Press the appropriate button showing the abbreviated name of the source entertainment you want to listen to, eg CD,TUNER etc. The display will show this sequence. INTRODUCTION The DAVE (Digital Audio Video Entertainment) module, transforms the integrated amplifier into a state-of-the-art Audio Visual system. By connecting it via a power amplifier an extra 3 channels can be added, enabling 3 extra loudspeakers (5 in total).
Continued Continued DAVE amplifier - Setting Up DAVE amplifier - Setting up fm CONNECTING TO OTHER EQUIPMENT There are two different types of video signals. Some equipment is manufactured to one type, some to the other. One is called either 'S Video' or SVHS (which usually has a higher quality picture), the other is 'Composite video'. The DAVE does not convert one to the other.You can connect equipment sending both types of signal to your DAVE at the same time.
Continued Continued DAVE amplifier - Setting up USING THE REMOTE CONTROL Use [PAUSE] and [STOP] buttons to go up/down the menu, [REW] and [FF] buttons to alter the selection on the highlighted line, and to change menu pages when the menu heading is highlighted. GETTING READY FOR USE dn POWER Switches the amplifier on. do POWER INDICATOR This will initially glow orange. After a few seconds, it will glow green.
DAVE amplifier - Advanced features MODE SELECTION VENTILATION The following modes will be available: Stereo, Dolby Digital, DoIby Pro Logic, Dolby 3 Channel, DTS, Digital Stereo. Adequate ventilation MUST be provided for the DAVE amplifier, and it is strongly recommended that it is not stacked with other products, particularly additional power amplification. The DAVE surround decoding circuitry requires a temperature controlled environment in which to function correctly.
MARC amplifier - User Guide dp INTRODUCTION The MARC (Multi-Area-Remote-Control) amplifier is a module fitted inside an Arcam integrated amplifier. It gives access to and use of, the source components (e.g.Tuner, CD player etc.) connected to the integrated amplifier in other locations within a house. For instance one room can be listening to a CD while another room can be listening to a radio broadcast. An extra amplifier (such as the P25) is required for each of the other locations.
MARC amplifier - Advanced features CAUTION If you intend to change any of the settings described on this page, please read the following notes thoroughly to familiarise yourself with the process before amending the settings. Safety Guidelines Returning to factory settings If you have a system setting problem and you want to clear all settings back to factory defaults, press and hold both CD and VCR buttons on the amplifier for 5 seconds.
Guarantee WORLDWIDE GUARANTEE This entitles you to have the unit repaired free of charge, during the first two years after purchase, at any authorised Arcam distributor provided that it was originally purchased from an authorised ARCAM dealer or distributor.
