Service information
Continual improvement policy
Arcam has a policy of continual improvement for its products.
This means that designs and specications are subject to
change without notice.
NOTE: All specication values are typical unless otherwise
stated.
Before returning your amplier for service, please check the
following:
Sound cuts out for no reason
If the temperature of the internal heatsink rises above a safe
level, then a thermal cutout inside the amplier will operate.
The power indicator on the front panel ashes and the
protection system temporarily removes the power to the
speakers. The system resets after the heatsink has cooled
down.
Note that because of the high output voltage from a CD player,
it is possible to drive the A80 at full power even though the
volume is not set at maximum.
Amplier does not switch back on
The A80 and P80 ampliers have a protection mechanism
which is activated if you switch the unit on immediately after
turning it off. If this mechanism activates, wait 30 seconds then
switch back on again.
