Why is there no sound coming from my Arcam Multichannel Power Amplifier?
If your Arcam Amplifier produces no sound, verify that the correct input is selected on the pre-amp. Also, ensure you've assigned the digital input to the correct source. Check that the volume is at an audible level and ‘MUTE’ isn't displayed. Finally, confirm your power amplifiers are on and functioning.
How to fix poor and distorted sound on Arcam Amplifier?
If the sound from your Arcam Amplifier is poor and badly distorted, make sure that all cables are making a secure connection. If needed, remove and re-plug the cable into the connector, remembering to turn off the power first. Also, verify that you've selected the correct speaker size in the setup menu of your processor or pre-amp to match your system.
What to do if my Arcam Multichannel Power Amplifier has no lights on?
If your Arcam Amplifier isn't powering on, first check that the power cord is properly connected to both the P7 and a switched-on mains socket. Next, check the plug fuse and any circuit-breakers in the power supply path. Lastly, ensure the power button is pressed in.
Why does sound only come from some speakers with my Arcam Multichannel Power Amplifier?
If the sound only comes from some of the speakers connected to your Arcam Amplifier, first ensure all speakers are connected to the P7. Next, confirm that your pre-amp is configured to include all speakers in your system. Also, make sure an appropriate surround sound source is selected and playing through the pre-amp. For digital sources, check the player's output settings for multichannel data. Verify the disc is a multichannel recording and the processor is outputting multichannel audio. Ensure your speaker balance is correct, all amplifiers are on, and all channels are working. If audio is ‘daisy-chained’ from the P7, confirm the unit being fed is on.
How to eliminate hum on Arcam Multichannel Power Amplifier output?
To address hum on an Arcam Amplifier output, first ensure all cables are securely connected; if necessary, disconnect and reconnect them, remembering to power off the unit first. If the hum is due to a ground loop from an aerial, satellite dish, or cable supply, consult your aerial contractor. Check that signal leads are not wrapped around a mains lead. If available, try switching the ground lift on the back panel of the processor.
How to stop radio interference with Arcam Multichannel Power Amplifier?
To minimize radio or television interference with your Arcam Amplifier, ensure the aerial/dish cable is routed as far as possible from the P7 and its cabling. Use high-quality, screened cabling for the aerial/dish. Repositioning the receiving aerial/dish away from the P7 and its cabling may also help. If the problem continues, contact your aerial contractor. Also, use high-quality screened audio cables and ensure no cables are broken or damaged.
