Rear Panel
The rear panel contains the master power switch and
sockets for power and connecting the rCube to other
devices (see Connections Overview on page E-8 for
details).
Video and audio connections
The rCube has a variety of ways to connect to external video displays
and analogue and digital audio sources. See the 'Connection
Overview' section of this manual or look for your specific connection
in the 'Playing from a .... ' in the Table of Contents for details.
BASS button
The rCube applies a sophisticated psychoacoustic bass enhancement
carefully designed to enable the rCube to produce tight, powerful bass
despite its compact size. When pressed in, the BASS button provides
an extra bass boost in conjunction with other sound adjustments to
give a punchier, enhanced sound.

USB upgrade
The rCube has a USB connector on the
back of the unit for future upgrade via
a USB memory stick. You should not
upgrade your unit unless advised to do so.
If you need to upgrade your unit please
visit www.arcam.co.uk for instructions
and the latest firmware.
The rear panel USB connector
is for future rCube upgrades
only. The rCube does not play
music files from this USB
port nor does it interface with
computers via this port.
Power Switch
Before using the rCube it must be
connected to the mains supply using the
supplied AC adaptor (unless the integral
battery is charged). Once plugged in, the
power switch on the rear panel will switch
the rCube from off to standby mode. In
standby, the rCube responds to front panel
or remote control commands but also uses
a small amount of power. If you are using
battery power you should switch the unit
completely off using the rear-panel power
switch when not in use.
