Why is my Arcam SA20 Amplifier not responding to the remote control?
If your Arcam Amplifier unit isn't responding to the remote control, make sure the remote has fresh batteries. Also, ensure that the front panel window of the amplifier is visible and that you are pointing the remote control directly towards it.
What to do if the sound cuts out unexpectedly on my Arcam SA20?
The Arcam Amplifier SA10/SA20 might be entering a protection mode due to a detected fault. First, allow the SA10/SA20 to cool off. It's also possible the amplifier detected a speaker short circuit; inspect all speaker cables to ensure none are shorted. Another cause could be the amplifier detected a DC offset. If any of these faults occur, the amplifier will turn off and remove power to the speakers. To resume use, fix the fault, then turn the unit OFF and back ON.
How to troubleshoot no sound on Arcam Amplifier?
If there is no sound from your Arcam Amplifier SA10/SA20, ensure the amplifier is correctly plugged in and switched on. Check that your audio source is properly connected, the correct input is selected, and the source is not muted. Also, verify the SA10/SA20 is not in protection mode.
How to fix hum on analogue input of Arcam SA20?
If you're experiencing a hum on the analogue input of your Arcam Amplifier, ensure all cables are making a solid connection. Disconnect and firmly reconnect each cable (after turning the power off). Check the connections inside the source cable connector for breaks or poor soldering. If the hum occurs only with a specific source, verify that any aerial cable or dish connection to that source is ground isolated. If necessary, contact your installation contractor.
What to do if Arcam SA20 Amplifier can't connect to wired network?
If you cannot connect your Arcam Amplifier SA10/SA20 to a wired network, verify that the Ethernet cable is correctly connected between the SA10/SA20 and your network hardware. If your network uses fixed IP addressing, ensure the SA10/SA20 is set to use DHCP. Conversely, if your network uses DHCP, ensure the SA10/SA20 is configured to use a fixed IP address.
How to turn on display on Arcam SA20?
If the front panel display on your Arcam Amplifier is blank, press the DISP button on the remote control.
