Placing The Unit

Place the amplifier on a level, firm surface, avoiding
direct sunlight and sources of heat or damp.
Do not place the SA10/SA20 on top of a power
amplifier or other source of heat.
Do not place the amplifier in an enclosed space such
as a bookcase or closed cabinet unless there is good
provision for ventilation. The SA10/SA20 is designed
to run warm during normal operation.
Do not place any other component or item on top
of the amplifier as this may obstruct airflow around
the heat-sink, causing the amplifier to run hot. (The
unit placed on top of the amplifier would become
hot, too.)
Make sure the remote-control receiver to the right
of the front panel display is unobstructed, otherwise
this will impair the use of the remote-control.

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.
The normal function of the unit may be disturbed by
strong electromagnetic interference. If this occurs,
simply reset the unit with the power button, or move
the unit to another location.

Power

The amplifier 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

AV SAT
Push the IEC plug end of the power cable into the power
socket on the back of the amplifier, making sure that it
is pushed in firmly. Plug the other end of the cable into
your mains socket and switch the socket on.

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.
