Connecting a Solo sub

Being part of the Arcam Solo range means

your Solo sub can communicate wirelessly

with the Solo bar.

Make sure the Solo sub is turned on at its

power switch.

Plug in and turn on

The Solo bar is supplied with a moulded

mains plug already fitted to the cable. Check

that the plug supplied fits your supply. If

your mains supply voltage or mains plug is

different, please contact your Arcam dealer

immediately.

First, connect the mains cable to the power

socket on the back of the Solo bar, making

sure that it is pushed in firmly. Now push

the plug into your mains socket and switch

the socket on. The unit is now in standby,

indicated by a red LED on the front panel.

If the unit is left unused for an extended

period of time it will go into standby to

reduce power consumption.
