Service Information; Technical Specifi Cation - Arcam A85 Handbook

Service information

Before returning your amplifi er for service, please check the
following:
Sound cuts out for no reason
If the temperature of the internal heatsink rises above a safe
level, then a thermal cutout inside the amplifi er will operate.
The power indicator on the front panel fl ashes and the
protection system temporarily removes the power to the
speakers. The system resets itself as the heatsink cools down.

Signal/noise ratio (CCIR)
Note that because of the high output voltage from a CD player,
it is possible to drive the A85 at full power even though the
volume is not set at maximum.
Amplifi er does not switch back on
The A85 and P85 amplifi ers have a protection mechanism
which is activated if you switch the unit on immediately after
turning it off. If this mechanism activates, wait 30 seconds
then try again.
