manual abstract
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 a mains socket. NOTICE FOR UK OWNERS ONLY ■ If the plug is removed then the remaining lead must be wired as follows: The blue wire must be connected to the terminal which is coloured blue or marked with the letter N. The brown wire must be connected to the terminal which is coloured brown or marked with the letter L. The green and yellow wire must be connected to the terminal which is coloured green and yellow, or marked with the letter E or the safety earth symbol. ■ When replacing the fuse in the supplied moulded mains plug, the integral fuse holder/cover must always be refitted. Use a 5 amp fuse (UK models only). ■ Warning: This apparatus must be earthed. ■ This amplifier is fitted with BFA (British Federation of Audio) loudspeaker connectors, which are designed to meet EU safety standards. The connector will accept spade terminals, bare wires up to 4mm in diameter or a BFA plug. BFA plugs are available from your Arcam dealer. ■ Insert the red (positive) plugs of your speaker leads into the red terminals and the other plugs into the black terminals. If your speaker cable has bare ends, the positive conductor can usually be identified by a ridge or coloured marking. Ensure that no stray strands are allowed to touch another cable or the amplifier's casing. This can cause a short circuit and damage your amplifier! The loudspeaker terminals are marked as follows: ©,© FRONT - Connect your front pair of speakers here. This usually means your existing stereo pair. Connect terminals © to your left speaker and terminals © to your right speaker ensuring correct polarity. ©,© CENTRE - Connect your centre speaker(s) here. In some systems, particularly where a large screen TV is used (around 1,0m / 37" or larger), you may wish to use two centre speakers - one above and one below the TV. Ensure the centre speaker(s) are magnetically shielded, or the pictures on the TV tube could become permanently discoloured. Alternatively the two pairs of sockets can be used to bi-wire one centre speaker if it has separate terminals for the bass and treble drivers. ©,© SURROUND - Connect your two rear surround speakers here. Connect terminals © to your left rear speaker and terminals © to your right rear speaker, seen as you face the screen, ensuring correct polarity. CONNECTING YOUR SOURCE COMPONENTS MAINS SUPPLY CONNECTIONS ■ Audio inputs: Up to 7 different audio sources can be connected to the Alpha AV50. Four inputs are available © Insert the IEC line socket of the mains lead fully into for simultaneous audio and composite video, and three the power inlet on the rear panel. Connect the other for audio only. All inputs have the same sensitivity and end to your mains supply. may be used with equipment other than that labelled, if you need to do so. ENGLISH ■ Video inputs: Up to 4 different video sources can be connected to the Alpha AV50 - VCR, LD or DVD, Satellite and TV. This allows you to select the TV picture and sound together and is particularly useful if your TV has only one video input. AUDIO CONNECTIONS ■ Using a suitable pair of interconnect cables to connect each component, insert the red phono plugs into the appropriate sockets labelled 'R' and the other plugs into the sockets labelled 'L'. © TAPE OUT - Connect this output to the input of your cassette deck (usually labelled RECORD or IN). © TAPE IN - Connect this input to the output of your cassette deck (usually labelled PLAY or OUT). © TUNER IN - Connect this input to your radio tuner's audio output. © CD IN - Connect this input to the analogue outputs of your CD player or external DAC. © VCR OUT - Connect this output to the audio input of your video recorder (VCR). © VCR IN - Connect this input to the audio output of your VCR. © SAT IN - Connect this input to your Satellite TV decoder's audio output. © LD IN - This input is compatible with Laserdisc (LD), Compact Disc Interactive (CD-I), DVD or a Video CD player. Connect this input to the audio output of the player. ® TV IN - Connect this input to the audio output sockets of your TV set. ©-© External Processor Inputs These sockets permit access to each of the five internal power amplifiers within the AV50 via the volume control. This allows the AV50 to be used with future 5.1 style discrete multichannel audio sources such as Dolby Digital AC-3 or Digital Theater Systems’ (DTS) Coherent Acoustics. See section “Connecting the AV50 to an external 5.1 channel decoder” for more details. COMPOSITE VIDEO CONNECTIONS ■ You will need suitable 75 ohm composite video cables to connect your equipment to the composite video inputs and outputs. These should be terminated with phono plugs at the ends connected to the AV50. Consult your equipment manuals for the connections required to your other equipment. © MONITOR OUTPUT - Connect this output t...
