This handbook has been designed to give you all the
information you need to install, connect, set up and use the
Arcam T61 tuner. The CR-389 remote control handset supplied
with this equipment is also described.
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.
Radio interference
All Arcam products have been designed to very high standards
of electromagnetic compatibility.
However, both CD players and DVD players generate RF (radio
frequency) energy. In some cases this can cause interference
with FM and AM radio reception. If this is the case, switch the
player off or keep the player and its connecting cables as far
from the tuner and its aerials as possible. Connecting the player
and the tuner/amplifier to different mains sockets can also help
to reduce interference.
EU countries
This product has been designed to comply with directive
89/336/EEC.
USA
This product complies with FCC requirements. If the equipment
causes interference to radio/television reception, which can
be determined by switching the equipment off and on, the
following measures should be taken: Re-orientate the receiving
antenna or route the antenna cable of the receiver as far
as possible from this appliance and its cabling. Relocate
the receiver with respect to this appliance. Connect the
receiver and this appliance to different mains power outlets.
