Recording An Audio Source; Troubleshooting - Arcam FMJ A18 Manual

Recording an audio source

The A18 allows you to record and monitor the sound
from any connected source.
The back panel or sockets can be

connected to the input sockets of your recording device
(these are usually labelled or ). The two

recording loops have a similar function to each other,
but are not exactly the same in operation.
To record from a particular source, press the appropriate
source button (for example, ), then press . Any
tuner AV
source selected immediately before is routed to the
AV
connectors for recording purposes and is shown

on the front panel (e.g. RC TUNER).

troubleshooting

If you are having trouble with your amplifier, check the
following items.
no sound
Check the following:
The A18 amplifier is powered up and switched on.
<
The amplifier is not muted (i.e. Mute is not shown
<
on the display panel).
The selected source is generating audio (e.g., if CD
<
is selected, then the CD is playing).
The AV input is selected on the A18 instead of the
<
expected source. If there is no sound because the
AV input is selected, press the correct source button
on the front panel or remote control.
The speaker outputs are connected on the A18 (or
<
on the power amplifier, in the case of a bi-amping
arrangement).
Sound cuts-out unexpectedly
If the temperature of the internal heatsink rises above
a safe level, then a thermal cut-out inside the amplifier
operates to protect the unit and the protection system
temporarily removes power to the speakers. The system
will reset itself as the heatsink cools down.
With two pairs of low-impedance speakers
<
connected (6 Ω or less), overloads are more likely.
Overloading the amplifier may cause it to shut
down because of overheating.
Note that, due to the high output voltage from a
<
CD player, it is possible to drive your amplifier at
full power even though the volume is not set at
maximum.
