installation
Arcam’s T32 provides class-leading sound quality from a range of radio
sources: FM, AM, DAB and/or Sirius. (The range is market determined,
depending on the national availability of radio sources.) In addition, the
T32 works beautifully with Arcam’s rDock or rLead accessories, giving
your iPod® a first class entry ticket into your home Hi-Fi system.
As part of an Arcam system, the high performance T32 tuner is
designed to truly bring your music to life.
Placing the unit
< Place the T32 on a level, firm surface, avoiding
direct sunlight and sources of heat or damp.
< Do not place the T32 on top of an amplifier or
other source of heat.
< Do not place the T32 in an enclosed space such as
a bookcase or closed cabinet unless there is good
provision for ventilation. The T32 is designed to
run warm during normal operation.
< Do not place any other component or item on top
of the T32 as this may obstruct airflow around the
unit, causing the T32 to run hot.
< Make sure the remote-control receiver
(behind the FMJ badge on the front panel) is
unobstructed, or remote control will be impaired.
< 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
The T32 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.
If your mains supply voltage or mains plug is different,
please contact your Arcam dealer immediately
Push the IEC plug end of the power cable into the socket
on the back of the T32, 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.
Remote control input
The ReMoTe in input can be used to pass RC5 codes
to the T32 if it is installed in a position, or a system,
where infrared cannot be used. If this is required, please
contact your dealer for further information.
In normal use there is no need to make any connections
to this input.
The ReMoTe in input requires a mono 3.5mm jack,
with the tip active and the sleeve grounded.
The remote control signals must be in modulated
RC5 format (at 36kHz), with a voltage level of
between 5V and 12V.
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.
