allows the volume control of your processor to act as a master
control and adjust the sound level of the speakers attached
to both the A75 and the processor simultaneously. If you then
switch back to another input, for example, CD, the volume
control is switched back in circuit again and the amplifier
functions as normal. You may hear a slight ‘click’ when you
switch to another input. This is normal.

WARNING: If the AV PROCESSOR/TAPE switch is set to

use the AV/DVD socket for any equipment except a
processor with its own volume control. Otherwise this
could result in a signal being sent to your loudspeakers
at high levels which may damage the loudspeakers.

PRE-AMP OUT 5
You will only need to use these sockets if you have a separate
power amplifier. To use your amplifier as a preamplifier connect
these sockets to the input sockets (POWER AMP IN or
PWR AMP IN) of your power amplifier. If your power amplifier
is an Arcam P75, P85 or Alpha series you can use it in
conjunction with the power amplifiers in your integrated amplifier
to bi-amplify suitable loudspeakers. See the section ‘Bi-wiring
and bi-amping loudspeakers’ for details.

TAPE RECORD OUT 6


Connect these output sockets to the input sockets of your
cassette deck (usually labelled RECORD).

TAPE PLAY IN 7
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 (record deck).
