This handbook has been designed to give you all the
information you need to install, connect, set up and use the
Arcam A85 integrated ampliο¬ er or the P85 power ampliο¬ er.
The A85 ampliο¬ er is described ο¬ rst, then the P85. The CR-389
remote control handset supplied with the A85 integrated
ampliο¬ er is also described.
Your ampliο¬ er(s) may have been installed and set up by an
authorised Arcam dealer. In this case, you may wish to go
directly to the sections describing the use of this equipment.
Safety
Safety guidelines are set out on the inside front cover of this
handbook.
Many of these items are common sense precautions, but for
your own safety, and to ensure that you do not damage the unit,
we strongly recommend that you read them.

Installation: A85 integrated ampliο¬ er
Positioning the unit
Place your ampliο¬ er on a level, ο¬ rm surface.
Avoid placing the unit in direct sunlight or near sources of heat
or damp.
Ensure adequate ventilation. Do not place the unit in an
enclosed space such as a bookcase or cabinet as both of
these will impede air ο¬ ow through the ventilation slots.
Connecting to loudspeakers
You can connect one or two pairs of loudspeakers to your
ampliο¬ er, provided each pair is rated between 8β16β¦. If one or
both pairs have an impedance of less than 8β¦, the combined
load on the ampliο¬ er falls below 4β¦ and could cause an
overload. If so, the overload protection circuit engages and the
ampliο¬ er will not work.
To connect one pair of loudspeakers, use the SP1 terminals.
SP1 and SP2 terminals 4
Both sets of loudspeaker terminals can be switched off by
pressing the MUTE button on the remote control. To switch SP1
and SP2 independently, use the front panel switch 7 (see
page 6) or the remote control (see page 9).
Your ampliο¬ er is ο¬ tted with loudspeaker terminals to BFA
(British Federation of Audio) standard speciο¬ cation.
BFA loudspeaker terminals
The terminal will accept spade terminals, bare wires or a
BFA plug. BFA plugs are available from your Arcam dealer. To
connect a bare wire or spade terminal, unscrew the red (or
black) part of the loudspeaker terminal ο¬ rst.
Insert the wire or spade terminal and screw it back up.
CAUTION: Do not over tighten the loudspeaker terminals or
use a wrench, pliers, etc., as this could cause damage to the
terminals which will not be covered under warranty.
Connect the right speaker to the terminals on the back of
your ampliο¬ er marked R and the left speaker to the terminals
marked L.
Connect your loudspeakers so that the red (positive/+) terminal
on each loudspeaker is connected to the red (positive/+)
terminal on the ampliο¬ er. Your loudspeaker cables may be
marked to show polarity (negative/β and positive/+), if not, then
the positive terminal can usually be identiο¬ ed by a ridge or
coloured marking.
Now connect your loudspeakersβ black (negative/β) terminals to
the black (negative/β) terminals on the ampliο¬ er.
Ensure that no stray strands of inner wires are allowed to touch
another cable or the ampliο¬ erβs casing. This can cause a short
circuit and damage your ampliο¬ er!

Connecting to a power supply
Wrong plug?
Check that the plug supplied with the unit ο¬ ts your supply and
that your mains supply voltage agrees with the voltage setting
(115V or 230V) indicated on the rear panel of the unit 2
before plugging in.
If your mains supply voltage or mains plug is different, consult
your Arcam dealer or Arcam Customer Support on +44
(0)1223 203203.
The product must be earthed.
Mains lead
The appliance is normally supplied with a moulded mains plug
already ο¬ tted to the lead. If for any reason the plug needs to
be removed, it must be disposed of immediately and securely,
as it is a potential shock hazard when inserted into the mains
socket. Should you require a new mains lead, contact your
Arcam dealer.
Plugging in
Push the plug (IEC line socket) of the power cable supplied with
the unit into the socket (POWER INLET) 1 in the back of the
unit. Make sure it is pushed in ο¬ rmly.
Put the plug on the other end of the cable into your power
supply socket and switch the socket on.
Standby power
For remote standby operation, the ampliο¬ erβs control power
supply is kept powered up all the time the unit is connected to
the mains supply. The front panel power switch powers down
all other circuitry. Power consumption in this mode is less than
2W.
This means that even though the power switch is off, it may be
possible to hear a slight residual hum coming from the mains
transformer inside the ampliο¬ er. This is perfectly normal. If the
unit is to be left unused for an extended period, we recommend
that it is disconnected from the mains supply by switching it
off at the wall socket.
Connecting to other equipment
The use of high quality interconnect cables to and from your
ampliο¬ er is recommended to ensure the best sound quality.
Sockets marked L (and R) on your ampliο¬ er should only be
connected to sockets marked L (and R) on other equipment. All
the line inputs have the same sensitivity and may be used with
equipment other than that labelled, if needed.
TAPE1/RECORD OUT 8 β Connect these output sockets
to the input sockets of your cassette deck (usually labelled
RECORD).
TAPE1/PLAY IN 9 β Connect these input sockets to the
output sockets of your cassette deck (usually labelled PLAY).
If you do not have a cassette deck you can use this input for
other (line level) equipment, such as a CD player, tuner, VCR,
etc., but not a turntable.
VCR/TAPE2 RECORD OUT bk β These output sockets can
be connected to the input sockets of VCR/second recorder
(usually labelled RECORD).
VCR/TAPE2 PLAY IN bl β Connect these input sockets
to the output sockets of your VCR/second recorder (usually
labelled PLAY). Alternatively, you can use this input for other
(line level) equipment such as a CD player, tuner, etc., but not
a turntable.
DVD bm β Connect this input to the audio outputs of a DVD
player.
AV bn β Connect this input to audiovisual equipment such as a
VCR, laserdisc player, satellite or Nicam tuner.
TUNER bo β Connect this input to the audio outputs of your
radio tuner.
CD bp β Connect this input to the audio outputs of your CD
player or DAC (digital to analogue converter).
AUX bq β Connect this input to the audio outputs of any unit
with a line level output, e.g. tape deck, tuner etc.
NOTE: The AUX inputs must not be used if the phono module
is ο¬ tted. When this is ο¬ tted AUX becomes an output carrying
the equalised phono signal at line level.
PHONO br β As standard, phono inputs are blanked. Phono
inputs are provided on a separate plug-in module which your
Arcam dealer or distributor can supply and ο¬ t. This module
is compatible with most high output moving coil and moving
magnet cartridges (MM) and low output moving coil cartridges
(MC). MM or MC is selected via the MM/MC back panel switch.
Phono earth terminal β For connecting your turntable earth
lead (if ο¬ tted). Note that this terminal must not be used as a
safety earth.
TRIG OUT and REMOTE IN 3 (12V in and out) β These
connections are for use in multi-room installations. In normal
use there is no need to make any connections to these
sockets. If you are bi-amping with a power ampliο¬ er and wish to
power both units on or off simultaneously, see page 11.
Pre/power ampliο¬ er connections
PWR IN 5 β To use your integrated ampliο¬ er as a power
ampliο¬ er, connect the output of your pre-ampliο¬ er to the PWR IN
sockets.
Press in the PRE/PWR switch 7 on the rear panel to
select separate pre-amp/power amp mode. Under these
circumstances your A85 has exactly the same speciο¬ cation and
performance as a power ampliο¬ er (see page 8).
PRE OUT 6 β To use your integrated ampliο¬ er as a pre-
ampliο¬ er, connect the PRE OUT sockets to the input sockets
of your power ampliο¬ er. With a power ampliο¬ er of the correct
gain (e.g. the P85 power ampliο¬ er) you can bi-amplify (βbi-ampβ)
suitable loudspeakers, giving signiο¬ cant improvements in sound
quality (see page 12).

Using your A85 integrated ampliο¬ er
Front panel controls
This section describes how to operate your ampliο¬ er.
If your ampliο¬ er has not been installed for you, you should ο¬ rst
read the section βInstallation: A85β on page 4.
POWER (and power indicator light) 8
Switches the unit on and off. (You can also switch the ampliο¬ er
into standby mode with the remote control handset.)
The light indicates the status of the ampliο¬ er. A red light means
the ampliο¬ er is in standby mode (press the Power/Standby
button on the remote control, or the POWER button on the front
panel, to switch between standby and powered-up modes).
When you switch your ampliο¬ er on, the light glows amber
for a few seconds, during which time the speakers are
disconnected. The light changes to green when the ampliο¬ er
is ready for use.
The light may ο¬ ash if a fault has occurred β the fault type is
shown on the display. You should unplug the ampliο¬ er and leave
it for a few minutes before reconnecting. If the fault cannot be
cleared, unplug your ampliο¬ er and contact your Arcam dealer.
Source selectors 2
These buttons select the source connected to the
corresponding input. A light above the relevant button indicates
which input is currently selected and it will also usually be
shown on the display.
VCR 4
This input is similar to the other line level inputs on the ampliο¬ er
and may be used with a VCR or a second recording unit (e.g.
cassette deck).
TONE 6
Switches the tone circuits on and off, including settings for
individual sources. Note that the tone LED does not light unless
a tone setting has been made. (see page 8).
Control knob, SELECT and ENTER 3bobn
The control knob has two functions:
β as a volume control, to adjust the output of loudspeakers
and headphones connected to the ampliο¬ er, and of the
pre-amp output (PRE OUT).
β when used in conjunction with the SELECT and ENTER
buttons, to customise ampliο¬ er settings (see page 8).
Volume control settings
It is important to realise that the position of the volume
control is not an accurate indication of the power delivered to
your loudspeakers. The ampliο¬ er often delivers its full power
long before the volume control reaches its maximum position,
particularly when listening to heavily recorded compact discs.
However the ampliο¬ er also has to be capable of giving full
power output from much lower level sources, such as tuners
and cassette decks. Using these sources, the volume control
setting may be much higher before distortion (audible overload)
sets in. To compensate for this, the input levels of each source
may be individually adjusted to avoid accidental overload (see
page 8).
SP1 and SP2 7
These buttons allow you to select and deselect the main (SP1)
and secondary (SP2) set of speakers attached to your ampliο¬ er.
The light above each button glows if the corresponding
speakers are currently selected. If both lights are out the
ampliο¬ er will appear not to work, as all speakers are switched
off! If both are on, with two pairs of low impedance speakers
connected, overloads are more likely. Overloading the ampliο¬ er
may cause it to shut down because of overheating.
PHONES 1
This socket accepts headphones with an impedance rating
between 8β¦ and 2kβ¦, ο¬ tted with a 1/4-inch stereo jack plug.
If you wish to listen on headphones only, use the SP1 and SP2
buttons (if necessary) to mute the speakers. The headphone
socket is always active.
Remote control receiver 9
The remote controlβs infrared receiver is positioned to the left
of the RECORD button. Ensure the receiver is in a clear line of
sight from the remote control to allow signals to be received.
MODE, UP and DOWN blbm
These buttons are mainly for use with future optional modules,
however the UP and DOWN buttons are used with the basic A85
ampliο¬ er to move the cursor when customising the βWelcome
messageβ (see page 8).

Recording
With the Arcam A85 it is possible to listen to and record from
one source, or to listen to one source while recording another.
Both sets of tape sockets are identical in sensitivity and
suitable for use with almost any type of recorder (cassette,
CDR, MD, VCR, reel-to-reel, etc.). The record signal is sent to
both the TAPE and VCR output sockets.
RECORD bk
To record the currently selected source, press RECORD until
the display shows βRECORD SOURCEβ. After a few seconds
the display reverts to showing the volume level and you are
ready to record.
To listen to one source while recording another, press RECORD
again until the display shows βRECORDβ followed by the name
of an input (e.g. βAUXβ, βCDβ, βTUNERβ, etc.). Now press the
source selector button on the front panel for the source you
wish to record. Your selection is shown on the display for a few
seconds, after which it reverts to showing the volume level and
you are ready to record.
The RECORD button can also be used as a second zone
selector, sending a source signal at line level to a second
ampliο¬ er operating in another room. If you need help with this,
contact your Arcam dealer or Arcam customer support.
Tape-to-tape copying (dubbing)
You can perform tape dubbing from VCR to TAPE, but not from
TAPE to VCR.
For example, to copy from a cassette recorder connected to
the VCR socket to a cassette recorder connected to the TAPE 1
socket, ο¬ rst use the RECORD button as explained above and
select βRECORD VCRβ. This routes the VCR signal to the TAPE
output.
Set the cassette recorder connected to the TAPE socket into its
record mode and the other to playback mode to start dubbing.
TAPE 5
To play back the recording from a cassette deck attached
to the TAPE 1 input, press TAPE. βTAPE 1β is shown on
the display. Selecting this input overrides the other source
selectors.
It is also possible to monitor a recording while it is being made,
provided your cassette deck is a 3-head type. To do this, press
TAPE. Switching this button in/out allows an A/B comparison
between the source signal and the recorded signal.

Connecting to power, loudspeakers and
other equipment
Follow the installation instructions for the integrated ampliο¬ er
on pages 4β6.
AUDIO IN β Connect this input to the output sockets of your pre-
ampliο¬ er or the PRE OUT sockets of an integrated ampliο¬ er.
MONO LINK β The power ampliο¬ er can be adapted to provide
two mono loudspeaker outputs from a single input. Pull out the
link supplied and use it to connect the L and R AUDIO OUT
sockets together. Using one power ampliο¬ er per loudspeaker
will enable you to bi-amplify bi-wireable loudspeakers.
This is particularly beneο¬ cial for top quality stereo installations
with a separate pre-ampliο¬ er, or where ampliο¬ ers are provided
for the left, centre and right channel loudspeakers in a ο¬ ve
speaker Dolby Pro Logic or Dolby Digital system.
Contact your Arcam dealer for more information.
βDaisy chainingβ β The power ampliο¬ er can be connected to
further power ampliο¬ ers to drive more speakers (e.g. those in
other rooms or tri-ampliο¬ ed speakers, etc).
Connect the extra power ampliο¬ er inputs to the AUDIO OUT
sockets on the power ampliο¬ er, left to left, right to right.
Installation: P85 power amplifer
Remote switching
By making a connection from the REMOTE IN socket of the P85
power ampliο¬ er to the TRIG OUT socket of the A85 integrated
ampliο¬ er, you can use the A85 to switch the power ampliο¬ er on
and off. If conο¬ gured in this way, the front panel POWER button
of the A85 (or the Power/Standby button on the remote control)
switches both ampliο¬ ers on and off together. This facility allows
you to conceal the power ampliο¬ er yet still control it.
The connecting cable required is a 3.5mm to 3.5mm jack lead
(stereo or mono) and it is possible to connect several power
ampliο¬ ers to an A85 by βdaisy chainingβ from TRIG OUT of one
P85 into the REMOTE IN of the next.
Three channel option
The power ampliο¬ er can be upgraded from stereo to three
channels by adding a Third Channel Module: in this case, the
model is designated P85/3.
The module offers extra loudspeaker terminals together with
a third set of AUDIO IN and OUT phono sockets and converts
the P85 into a 3 x 85W (RMS per channel into 8β¦) ampliο¬ er
suitable for Home Cinema or multi-channel audio use.
Contact your Arcam dealer for further details.

POWER (and power indicator light)
Switches the unit on and off. The light indicates the status of
the ampliο¬ er.
When you switch your ampliο¬ er on, the light glows amber for a
few seconds, during which time the speakers are disconnected.
The light changes to green when the ampliο¬ er is ready for use.
A red light means the ampliο¬ er is in standby mode.
The light may ο¬ ash if a fault has occurred β the fault type is
shown on the display. You should unplug the ampliο¬ er and leave
it for a few minutes before reconnecting. If the fault cannot be
cleared, unplug your ampliο¬ er and contact your Arcam dealer.

NOTE: If both lights are out the ampliο¬ er will appear not to
work, as all speakers are switched off. If both are on, and
low impedance speakers are connected, overloads are more
likely.
SP1 and SP2
These buttons allow you to select and deselect the main
(SP1) and secondary (SP2) sets of speakers attached to your
ampliο¬ er. An indicator light shows which set of speakers are
currently selected.

Before you start
WARNING: Do not make any connections to your
ampliο¬ er while it is switched on or connected to the
mains supply.
Before switching on please check all connections
thoroughly, making sure bare wires or cables are not
touching the ampliο¬ er in the wrong places (which could
cause short circuits) and you have connected positive
(+) to positive and negative (β) to negative.
Always ensure that the volume control on your
ampliο¬ er is set to minimum before starting these
procedures.
Bi-wiring your loudspeakers
Bi-wiring improves the sound of your system because it divides
the high and low frequency signal currents into separate
speaker cables. This avoids signal distortions arising from the
high and low frequency currents interacting with one another
within a single cable, as in conventionally wired systems.
You will need:
Speakers β with four input terminals each: these will be marked
HF (High Frequency) and LF (Low Frequency).
Loudspeaker cables β two pairs of cables per loudspeaker
(which may be joined at the ampliο¬ er end if your ampliο¬ er has
only one pair of output terminals per channel). Or, a suitably
terminated cable set (a loom, probably prepared by your dealer
and capable of being used for bi-wiring in one length).
How to bi-wire loudspeakers
1. Remove the terminal links on the rear of your
loudspeakers
WARNING: This step is essential or damage to
your ampliο¬ er may result which is not covered
under warranty.
2. Connect the cables as shown in the diagram below,
ensuring correct polarity at all times.
Bi-amping your system
The performance of your system can be further enhanced over
that achieved with bi-wiring, by extending the principle one
stage further to include separate ampliο¬ cation for the low and
high frequency drive units in each loudspeaker enclosure.
Connect the integrated ampliο¬ er to the high frequency (HF)
terminals and connect the power ampliο¬ er to the low frequency
(LF) terminals.
You will need:
Speakers β with four input terminals each (as with bi-wiring):
these will be marked HF (High Frequency) and LF (Low
Frequency).
Two ampliο¬ ers β one of these would be the A85 and the other
an Arcam power ampliο¬ er (e.g. P85).
Loudspeaker cables β two pairs of cables per loudspeaker or
a suitably terminated cable set (a loom, probably prepared by
your dealer and capable of being used for bi-amping in one
length).
Interconnect cables β one pair of high quality interconnect
cables.
How to set up a bi-amped system
1. Remove the terminal links on the rear of your
loudspeakers.
WARNING: This step is essential or damage to
your ampliο¬ er may result which is not covered
under warranty.
2. Connect the cables as shown in the diagram below,
ensuring correct polarity at all times.
3. Use the interconnect cables to connect the PRE OUT
sockets of the A85 to the corresponding AUDIO IN
sockets of the power ampliο¬ er.

Continual improvement policy
Arcam has a policy of continual improvement for its products.
This means that designs and speciο¬ cations are subject to
change without notice.
NOTE: All speciο¬ cation values are typical unless otherwise
stated.
Before returning your ampliο¬ er 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 ampliο¬ er will operate.
The power indicator on the front panel ο¬ ashes and the
protection system temporarily removes the power to the
speakers. The system resets itself as the heatsink cools down.
Note that because of the high output voltage from a CD player,
it is possible to drive the A85 at full power even though the
volume is not set at maximum.
Ampliο¬ er does not switch back on
The A85 and P85 ampliο¬ ers 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 try again.
