Arcam Solo Movie 5.1 - Manual (Page 6)


< Place Solo Movie 5.1 on a level, firm surface,
avoiding direct sunlight and sources of heat or
damp.
< Do not place Solo Movie 5.1 on top of a power
amplifier or other source of heat.
< Do not place Solo Movie 5.1 in an enclosed
space such as a bookcase or closed cabinet
unless there is good provision for ventilation.
Solo Movie 5.1 is designed to run warm during
normal operation.
< Do not place any other component or item
on top of Solo Movie 5.1 as this may obstruct
airflow around the heat-sink, causing Solo Movie
5.1 to run hot. (The unit placed on top of Solo
Movie 5.1 would become hot, too.)
< Make sure the remote-control receiver
in the centre of the front panel display is
unobstructed, otherwise this will impair the
use of the remote-control. If line-of-sight is
impractical, a remote-control repeater can be
used with the rear panel connector (see below).
< Do not place your record deck on top of
this unit. Record decks are very sensitive to
the noise generated by mains power supplies
which will be heard as a background ‘hum’ if the
record deck is too close.
Power
Solo Movie 5.1 is supplied with a moulded mains plug
already fitted to the lead. Check that the plug supplied
fits your supply – should you require a new mains
lead, please contact your Arcam dealer.
Push the IEC (kettle-style) plug end of the power
cable into the socket on the back of Solo Movie
5.1, making sure that it is pushed in firmly. Plug the
other end of the cable into your mains socket and, if
necessary, switch the socket on.
Solo Movie 5.1 is fitted with a power switch on the
rear panel, above the power inlet: make sure that this
is switched on.
Solo Movie 5.1 is fitted with a transformer designed
to accept the mains voltage in the region that the
product was shipped to. If your mains supply voltage
does not match the specification printed on the rear
panel, or you wish to take the unit to a region with a
different mains voltage, or the mains plug is incorrect,
please contact your Arcam dealer.

Interconnect cables
We recommend the use of high-quality screened
cables that are designed for the particular application.
Other cables will have different impedance
characteristics that will degrade the performance
of your system (for example, do not use cabling
intended for video use to carry audio signals).
All cables should be kept as short as is practically
possible.
It is good practice when connecting your equipment
to make sure that the mains power-supply cabling is
kept as far away as possible from your audio cables.
Failure to do so may result in unwanted noise in the
audio signals.
