Using your C31 pre-amplifi er

Switching the C31 on

The power button 

bm

 switches the unit on and off; alternatively, the unit can be switched in and out of 

stand-by mode by pressing the 

2

 button on the remote control handset.

The power light (next to the “C31 Pre-Amplifi er” text) indicates the state of the amplifi er:
1.   a red light means that the amplifi er is in stand-by mode;
2.   when you switch your amplifi er on, the power light glows amber for a few seconds; during this time 

the outputs are muted;

3.   the light changes to green when the amplifi er is ready for use.
The power light may fl ash if a fault has occurred – the fault type is shown on the display. See page 16, 
“Troubleshooting,” for help in resolving fault situations. If the fault cannot be cleared, unplug your 
amplifi er and contact your Arcam dealer.

Changing the volume

Use the control knob 

7

 in the centre of the display to change the volume. Turn the 

knob clockwise to increase the volume, anti-clockwise to reduce it.
The output of the C31 can be muted by pressing 

MUTE

 

1

. Press 

MUTE

 for a second 

time (or change the volume) to release the muting.

Selecting an audio source

A source-selection button 

8

 is used to select the source that is connected to the 

input corresponding to the button. A light above the relevant button indicates which 
input is selected and this information will also be shown on the display.

TAPE

To listen to the device connected to the tape input, press the 

TAPE

 button.

Note that two source lights will be illuminated when the 

TAPE

 button is pressed: the 

tape light itself, together with an indicator to show which source is being routed to 
the tape outputs for recording purposes. To change this recording source, please 
see below.
To de-select the tape input, press the 

TAPE

 button for a second time.

   It is important to realise that the 

volume indication on the display 

may not an accurate indication of 

the ‘percentage’ of the amplifi er 

power in use. Your power amplifi er 

may deliver its full power long 

before the volume control reaches 

its maximum position, particularly 

when listening to ‘loud’ inputs, 

such as CD’s. In contrast, lower-

level inputs, such as tuners and 

cassette decks, will sound quieter 

for the same shown volume level. 

To compensate for this (to make 

all inputs the same ‘loudness’ for 

a given value on the display), the 

input levels of each source may 

be adjusted. This is done using 

the product confi guration menu, 

described on page 8.
