Pre-/power-amplifier connections
PRE OUT
To use your A28 as a dedicated pre-amplier, or as part
of a bi-amp’ed system, connect the PRE OUT sockets to
the input sockets of your power amplier.
Recording loop
e A28 is equipped with a recording loop, for use with
recording devices (such as a CD recorder, DAT recorder,
cassette recorder, VCR, PVR etc.).
AV RECORD OUT
Connect these output sockets to the input sockets of
your recording device (usually labelled RECORD or IN).
AV PLAY IN
Connect the output sockets of your recording device
(usually labelled P LAY or OUT) to these inputs.
If you do not have a recording device, you can use this
input for other (line-level) equipment, such as a TV,
DVD, CD player, radio tuner, PVR, etc.
Audio inputs
Although the inputs are labelled for specic devices, all
have the same characteristics and each may be used with
any line-level product. e exception is the Phono input
(see page 14 for the specication).
DVD
Intended for the analogue outputs from a DVD-player.
AV
Intended for the analogue outputs from general audio-
visual equipment, such as a VCR, digital TV/satellite
receiver, or Nicam tuner.
TUNER
Intended for the analogue outputs from an FM, AM or
DAB radio tuner.
CD
Intended for the analogue outputs from a CD player.
AUX
is is intended for general use, or for connecting an
iPod® via an Arcam rLead or rDock. However, it can
also be used to connect the analogue audio outputs
of any unit with a line-level output (such as a games
console or set-top box).
SAT
For connection to a satellite TV receiver or cable box.
Controlling the A28 from a second room
e A28 will require a remote pick-up device with a 12V external power supply (such as a Xantech Dinky
Link) located in Zone 2, together with a power amplier (such as an Arcam A28 or P38) to complete the
system.
e diagram shows the wiring scheme, which also applies to other IR pick-up devices commonly available.
e A28 can also provide a +12V trigger output to control devices such as the power amplier in Zone 2.
e +12V trigger is active when the unit is ‘On’.

Phono input
e phono inputs provide a pre-amplication stage to
treat the low-voltage output from a moving magnet
cartridge. If you have already an external phono amplier
that you wish to use, connect its output to one of the line-
level inputs, such as the AUX input.
