Detailed instructions for use are in the User's Guide.
[. . . ] All other servicing should be referred to qualified service personnel. Damage requiring service The appliance should be serviced by qualified service personnel when: A. the power-supply cord or the plug has been damaged, or objects have fallen, or liquid has spilled into the appliance, or the appliance has been exposed to rain, or the appliance does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a marked change in performance, or the appliance has been dropped or the enclosure damaged.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove cover (or back). WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this apparatus to rain or moisture.
The lightning flash with an arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated `dangerous voltage' within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons. [. . . ] For optimal FM radio reception a roof or loft mounted aerial is advised. For your own safety it is recommended that a roof top aerial is fitted by an experienced contractor. Your Arcam dealer should be able to put you in contact with an aerial installer. A contractor will be able to tune your aerial to the nearest FM transmitter. If this is the case you should have sockets in your home marked FM or VHF (do not use those marked TV). The `T' shaped wire aerial (dipole design) supplied should give reasonably good reception. Mount this aerial as high up as possible on a wall with the elements positioned horizontally. The tacks should not come into contact with the internal wire of the aerial. Whether you decide to get an aerial professionally installed or opt to use the supplied aerial it should be connected to the FM Antenna input 7 on the rear of the unit. For use in North America, use an F-type antenna connector; for Europe and other areas, use a female Belling Lee-type coaxial connector.
SETTING UP THE TUNER
AM STEP SWITCH 5
The AM tuning `step size' needs to be set according to your location. This is done using the switch on the rear panel: set it to 10kHz if you are in North America, or 9kHz anywhere else. This switch also ensures correct reproduction of FM broadcasts for your location.
AM AERIAL
An AM aerial is required to receive AM/Medium Wave radio signals. This should be attached to the AM Antenna inputs with one end connected to AM 9 and the other to Ground 8. Rotate the aerial to discover which position gives the best reception. In areas of weak reception or when the receiver is used inside a steel framed building (such as an apartment building) you can use a wire between 3 and 5 metres long to strengthen reception. Advanced programmable control devices, such as the Philips `Pronto' and other system controllers, can be set up to use the additional codes. A table of IR commands is provided on page 10 of this Handbook.
CONNECTING TO A POWER SUPPLY
WRONG PLUG?
Check that the plug supplied with the unit fits your supply and that your mains supply voltage agrees with the voltage setting switch (115V or 230V) indicated on the rear panel of the unit 2. If your mains supply voltage is different, switch the voltage selector across using a small screwdriver.
MAINS LEAD
The appliance is normally supplied with a moulded mains plug already fitted to the lead. If for any reason the plug needs to be removed, it must be disposed of immediately and securely, as it is a potential shock hazard when inserted into the mains socket. Should you require a new mains lead, contact your Arcam dealer.
PLUGGING IN
Push the plug (IEC line socket) of the power cable supplied with the unit into the POWER INLET socket 1 in the back of the unit. Put the plug on the other end of the cable into your power supply socket and switch the socket on.

FRONT PANEL CONTROLS
Preset Memory buttons 1 Directly select up to 32 preset stations (16 AM, 16 FM). Press briefly for stations 18, press and hold for more than one second for stations 916. If a weak station is received in stereo the background hiss can be reduced (and in most cases eliminated) by selecting `MONO'. [. . . ] Do not place anything in front of the display area on the tuner (where the IR receiver is located), or the remote control may not work.
