positioning
Positioning the unit
<  Place Solo Mini on a level, firm surface, avoiding 
direct sunlight and sources of heat or damp.
<  Do not place Solo Mini on top of a power 
amplifier or other source of heat.
<  Do not place Solo Mini in an enclosed space such 
as a bookcase or closed cabinet unless there is 
good provision for ventilation. Solo Mini is designed 
to run warm during normal operation.
<  Do not place any other component or item on 
top of Solo Mini as this may obstruct airflow 
around and through the unit, causing Solo Mini to 
overheat.
<  Do not obstruct the vents in the top, bottom, or 
sides of Solo Mini.
<  Make sure the remote-control receiver on the left-
hand side of the display is unobstructed, otherwise 
the remote control will not work reliably.
Power
Solo Mini 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.
Push the IEC plug end of the power cable into the socket 
on the back of Solo Mini, making sure that it is pushed 
in firmly. Plug the other end of the cable into your mains 
socket and, if necessary, switch the socket on.
Solo Mini is fitted with a power switch on the rear panel, 
below the power inlet: make sure that this is switched on.
Solo Mini is fitted with a transformer designed to accept 
the mains voltage in the region that the product was 
shipped to. If your mains supply voltage does not match 
the specification printed on the rear panel, or you wish 
to take the unit to a region with a different mains voltage, 
or the mains plug is incorrect, please contact your Arcam 
dealer.
Thermal protection
Make sure that the unit receives adequate ventilation at 
all times (see ‘Positioning the unit’).
If Solo Mini gets too hot, an ‘Over Temperature’ warning 
is shown on the front panel and the unit shuts down to 
protect itself. You can restart Solo Mini after it has cooled 
for 15 minutes without power.
Interconnect cables
We recommend the use of high-quality screened cables 
that are designed for the particular application. All cables 
should be kept as short as is practically possible.
To avoid unwanted noise in the audio signals, make sure 
that the mains power-supply cabling is kept as far away as 
possible from your audio cables.
