CONNECTING TO OTHER EQUIPMENT
INTERCONNECT CABLES
Interconnecting cables are not supplied with this tuner. We recommend
high quality cables as inferior quality cables will degrade the sound
quality of your system. Please contact your Arcam dealer for details
of suitable cables. Arcam do not recommend any particular type or
brand of interconnect cable.
CONNECTING YOUR TUNER TO YOUR
AMPLIFIER
AUDIO OUTPUTS
6
Two pairs of identical outputs are provided.
Connect one set to your amplifier’s tuner input or any other line-level
input using suitable high quality interconnect cables. Ensure that the left
and right audio outputs from the tuner are connected to the same left
and right inputs on your amplifier.
The second set of audio outputs can be used to connect to a second
amplifier set up for ‘multiroom’ use, or routed to a tape recorder for
‘off air’ recording.
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. Make
sure it is pushed in firmly.
Put the plug on the other end of the cable into your power supply
socket and switch the socket on.
CUSTOM INSTALLATION FEATURES
The T31 has a number of useful features that make it ideal for a
custom installation, where the tuner is fully integrated with a specialist
control system or operated by a programmable remote control.
REMOTE CONTROL INPUT
3
A rear panel input that receives modulated carrier-based infrared (IR)
commands in RC5 format. The input is suitable for connection to a
simple IR eye or to an external controller.
Use of this socket disables the front panel IR eye.
TRIGGER INPUT
4
The trigger socket allows the tuner to be remotely switched in and
out of standby. The primary front panel POWER switch must be in,
‘on’, for this mode.
Apply a +12V DC voltage for ‘on’, the power indicator glows green; 0V
for ‘standby’, the power indicator glows red.
Note that use of this socket requires a 12V signal before the tuner can
be switched fully on.
INFRARED (IR) REMOTE COMMANDS
The T31 responds to a set of Philips RC-5 codes in addition to those
available on the supplied handset, which is kept simple for ease of
use.
Advanced programmable control devices, such as the Philips ‘Pronto’
and other system controllers, can be set up to use the additional codes.
Refer to the instructions for your programmable device for details.
A table of IR commands is provided on page 10 of this Handbook.
