manual abstract
This routes the TAPE 2 signal to TAPE 1 's output. ENGLISH Then set the first tape recorder into its 'record1 mode and the second to 'playback' mode to enable the transfer to take place. If you wish to monitor the transfer while it is taking place switch LISTEN to TAPE 1. To record from TAPE 1 to TAPE 2 set listen to TAPE 1. It does not matter what position the RECORD selector is in. To monitor push the PROCESSOR/TAPE 2 button in. PRE/POWER CONNECTIONS © PWR AMP IN - To use your Alpha 9 just as a power amplifier, connect the output of your pre-amplifier to the PWR AMP IN sockets. The Alpha 9's internal selector switch should be set to the EXT INPUT position to disconnect the preamp stages of the unit. Contact your dealer or Arcam for more details. Under these circumstances it has exactly the same specification and performance as an Alpha 9P power amplifier. © PREAMP OUT - To use your Alpha 9 as a pre-amplifier, connect the PREAMP OUT sockets to the input sockets of your power amplifier. With a power amplifier of the correct gain (e.g. An Arcam Alpha 9P or Delta 290P) this allows you to bi-amplify (“bi-amp”) suitable loudspeakers, giving significant improvements in sound quality (see section on BI-WIRING/ BI-AMPING). REMOTE CONTROL FUNCTIONS ■ Your Alpha 9 amplifier is supplied with the Arcam CR35 infra-red remote control handset, which has buttons to allow the simple operation of other products. It is supplied with 2 AA batteries - ensure these are inserted correctly. ■ The remote allows you to operate the Alpha 9 plus some basic functions of an Arcam (except the Alpha One CD player, which uses a different remote control language) or Philips based CD player, a remote controlled tuner (such as the Arcam Delta 280* or Alpha 8 tuner) and the Arcam Delta Black Box 500 DACC (Digital Audio Control Centre). Note: versions of the Delta 280 FM tuner manufactured before April 1995 will not respond to the programme up/down buttons on the CR35. ■ REMOTE MODE - The Alpha 9 is factory-set to enable the Arcam CR35 or Arcam CR200 System Remote automatically to synchronise the operation of any Arcam CD player or transport, remote control tuner (and with a CR200, the Arcam Delta 100 cassette deck) with the LISTEN selector on the Alpha 9, all at the touch of a single button. For example, using the CR35 remote, press PLAY, and the CD player will start the disc and the LISTEN switch of the Alpha 9 will select the CD input. If automatic operation is not required it can be disabled by your dealer by fitting an internal link. The LISTEN selector switch can still be operated by either remote control handset. Note: The ‘STBY’, ‘DISP’ and ‘VCR’ buttons do not initiate any functions within the Alpha 9 amplifier. ‘DVD’ can be used to select the aux input on the Alpha 9. ■ The MUTE button mutes the speaker connections and pre-amp outputs. Both tape outputs and the headphone socket remain active. In MUTE mode the power LED will turn amber until mute is disabled by either pressing MUTE again or pressing volume -/+. Section C ALPHA 9P POWER AMPLIFIER Please refer to drawing inside front cover. LOUDSPEAKER CONNECTIONS Connect up as per instructions for the Alpha 9 integrated amplifier. CONNECTING YOUR SOURCE COMPONENT © PWR AMP IN - Connect to your pre-amplifier outputs or the PREAMP OUT sockets of an Arcam Delta 290 or Alpha 9 amplifier. © MONO LINK - The Alpha 9P can be configured to provide two mono loudspeaker outputs from a single input. Using the U-link ® supplied, connect the MONO LINK sockets © together. Utilising one Alpha 9P per loudspeaker in this manner will allow bi-amplifying of bi-wireable loudspeakers. This is particularly beneficial for top quality stereo installations with a separate pre-amplifier, or for the left, centre and right channel loudspeakers in a five speaker Dolby Pro Logic system. Contact your Arcam dealer for more detailed information. ■ Daisy Chain - The Alpha 9P is capable of driving further Alpha 9P amplifiers (or any other power amplifier), to drive more speakers (eg. those in other rooms or triamplified speakers etc). Connect the extra power amplifier inputs to the MONO LINK outputs © left to left, right to right. FRONT PANEL E>,® SP1 and SP2 - Pressing the SP1 switch turns on the speakers connected to the SP1 (upper) set of output terminals on the rear panel. Similarly the SP2 switch turns on the speakers connected to the SP2 (lower) set of output terminals. ■ Both the SP1 and SP2 switches can be turned on at the same time, provided that the combined impedance of the two pairs of speakers does not fall below 4 ohms per channel. Important note: If both switches are turned off then the amplifier will appear not to be functioning, as all speakers will be switched off! © HEADPHONES SOCKET - Accepts headphones rated between 8 ohms and 2k ohms fitted with a 6.3mm stereo jack plug. If your headphones are fitted with a different plug contact your dealer for a suitable adaptor. ■ ...
