Placing the unit
<
Place the unit on a level, firm surface,
avoiding direct sunlight and sources
of heat or damp.
<
Do not place the unit on top of a
power amplifier or other source of
heat.
<
Do not place the unit in an enclosed
space such as a bookcase or closed
cabinet unless there is good provision
for ventilation. The product is
designed to run warm during normal
operation.
<
Do not place any other component
or item on top of the unit as this may
obstruct airflow around the heat-sink,
causing the product to run hot. (The
unit placed on top of the amplifier
would also become hot.)
<
Make sure the remote-control receiver
to the left of the front panel display
is unobstructed, otherwise this will
impair the use of the remote-control.
<
Do not place your record deck on top
of this unit. Record decks are very
sensitive to the noise generated by
mains power supplies which will be
heard as a background ‘hum’ if the
record deck is too close.
<
The normal function of the unit
may be disturbed by strong
electromagnetic interference. If this
occurs, simply reset the unit with the
power button, or move the unit to
another location.
Power
The amplifier is supplied with a moulded
mains plug already fitted to the lead.
Check that the plug supplied fits your
supply – should you require a new mains
lead, please contact your Arcam dealer.
If your mains supply voltage or mains plug
is different, please contact your Arcam
dealer immediately.
The Solo can be switched for operation
between 220–240V (switch position 230V)
and 110–120V (switch position 115V).
NOTE
Ensure that the Solo is switched off
and the power lead removed before
changing the position of the voltage
range switch. Also ensure that this
selector switch is set to the appropriate
voltage for your region.
Push the IEC plug end of the power cable
into the socket on the back of the unit,
making sure that it is pushed in firmly.
Plug the other end of the cable into your
mains socket and, if necessary, switch the
socket on.
The unit can be turned on using the
POWER
switch on the front panel. While
switched on, the power button LED will
glow green.
Standby power
The Solo can be switched into standby
mode using the
2
button on the remote
control. While in standby mode the power
button LED will glow red and power
consumption is less than 0.5 Watts.
While in standby mode, it may be possible
to hear a slight residual hum coming
from the mains transformer inside
the amplifier. This is perfectly normal.
However, if the unit is to be left unused for
an extended period, we recommend that
you disconnect it from the mains supply to
save power.
Interconnect cables
We recommend the use of high-quality
screened cables that are designed for the
particular application. Other cables will
have different impedance characteristics
that will degrade the performance of your
system (for example, do not use cabling
intended for video use to carry audio
signals). All cables should be kept as short
as is practically possible.
It is good practice when connecting your
equipment to make sure that the mains
power-supply cabling is kept as far away
as possible from your audio cables. Failure
to do so may result in unwanted noise in
the audio signals.
For information on speaker cabling, please
refer to “speakers” on page E-15.
Radio interference
The Solo is an audio/video device
containing microprocessors and other
digital electronics. Each model has been
designed to very high standards of
electromagnetic compatibility.
environment this product may cause radio
interference, in which case the user may
be required to take adequate measures.
If the Solo causes interference to radio
or television reception (which can be
determined by switching the Solo off and
on), the following measures should be
taken:
<
Re-orient the receiving antenna
or route the antenna cable of the
affected receiver as far as possible
from unit and its cabling.
<
Relocate the receiver with respect to
the Solo
<
Connect the affected device and the
Solo to different mains outlets.
If the problem persists, please contact
your Arcam dealer.
