Unbalanced
pre-amplier inputs
Use these sockets to connect
your pre amplier if it has
unbalanced phono outputs.
Trigger input
TRIGGER IN allows the P49 to be remotely
turned on and put into standby by an
external source, the C49 for example.
Speaker terminals
e P49 is equipped with two
pairs of speaker terminals. See
pages 14 - 17 for information
on connecting loudspeakers.
Input switches
ese switches allow the P49
to be congured in dierent
modes depending on the
system into which it will
be installed and the type of
speaker connection topology
that is used. See pages 15 –
17 for switch positions and
connecting loudspeakers.
Pre-amplier output
PRE OUT provides a copy of
the signal applied to the
PRE IN sockets. Please note
that this is a passive output,
no additional ltering or
amplication is applied.
Balanced XLR
pre-amplier inputs
Use these sockets to connect your
pre amplier if it has balanced XLR
outputs.
Note
Please ensure your P49 is turned o before altering
any of the input switches!
Switching on
e POWER button switches the unit on and o.
e power light (next to the ‘POWER / STANDBY’
text) indicates the state of the amplier: it changes from
red to orange then green if mains power is connected
and the unit is switched on.
If the unit is le unused for an extended period of time
it will go into standby to reduce power consumption.
Press AUX and BALANCE to adjust the time of this feature.
Display
e DISPLAY button (or DISP on the remote control)
changes the display brightness between ‘on’, ‘dimmed’
and ‘o’. If the A49/C49 is powered o with the display
brightness set to ‘o’, the display resumes to ‘dimmed’
when the unit is powered on again.
TUNER
Intended for the analogue outputs from an FM, AM
or DAB radio tuner. Note the tuner device page on the
remote will control Arcam tuners.
SAT
Intended for the analogue outputs from a satellite TV
receiver or cable TV box.
BD
Intended for the analogue outputs from a Blu-ray or
DVD-player. Note the BD device page on the remote
will control Arcam BD players.
PVR
Intended for the analogue outputs from a Personal
Video Recorder, or similar device.
AV
Intended for the analogue outputs from general audio-
visual equipment, such as a VCR or digital TV/satellite
receiver.
CD
Intended for the unbalanced analogue outputs from
an Arcam CD player. Note the CD device page on the
remote will control Arcam CD players.

Selecting an audio source
Audio sources may be selected from the front panel
buttons (PHONO, Aux, CD, TUNER, SAT, BD, PVR, AV), or the
remote control (PHONO, AUX, CD, TUN, SAT, BD, PVR, AV).
In each case, the source is selected from the input
sockets with the corresponding name.
Audio inputs
Although the inputs are labelled for specic devices, all
have the same characteristics and each may be used with
any line-level product. e exception is the PHONO (MM)
input (see page19 for the specication).
AUX (XLR)
Intended for the balanced analogue outputs from a
source, for example the Arcam D33. e balanced
inputs can also be assigned to any other input key on
the remote. Either use the MENU button on the remote to
access the setup menu, or press the front panel BD and
BALANCE buttons simultaneously and use the control
knob to change the setting. e front panel display shows
(e.g.) XLR CD. In this example, when the CD button on
the remote is pressed, the XLR inputs will be selected. So
the original input is still available, when the AUX button is
pushed, the CD input will be selected.
Phono input
Phono-level input
e A49/C49 provides a pre-amplication stage to treat
the low-voltage output from a MM (moving magnet)
cartridge. Input specications are given on pages19 - 20.
Output volume is shown on the front display as
PHONO 20, for example.
Line-level phono input
e phono input may be changed from line-level to
phono-level. Either use the MENU button on the remote to
access the setup menu, or press the front panel PHONO
and BALANCE buttons simultaneously and use the control
knob to change the setting. e front panel display shows
LINE- OFF (i.e. phono) or LINE- ON respectively.
If you wish to use an external phono amplier, connect
its output to the PHONO (MM) input, but make sure that
LINE- ON is selected, since a phono amplier produces
line-level input.
With the input dened in this way, output volume is
shown on the front display as LINE- 20, for example.
WARNING: NEVER play a standard line-level source into the
phono input when set to LINE-OFF. This would result in serious
damage to both your amplier and speakers due to the extra
gain that is applied and would not be covered under warranty.
A49/C49
operation
Trigger output
TRIGGER OUT allows the P49 to control the
power state of any connected equipment,
such as a P49 power amplier. In
normal use there is no need to make any
connections to these outputs.
