Connecting a record deck
Solo Mini is not tted with a phono
pre-amplier. If you wish to connect
a record deck to Solo Mini, then
you’ll need an external pre-amplier.
Please contact your dealer for further
information and recommendations on
the best option for you.
Controlling an iPod
®
Music or podcasts from your iPod can
be fully integrated with your system
using Arcam’s rDock or rLead. These
accessory units use the RS232 CONTROL
and IPOD/TAPE connectors to take over
the control and amplication, with
iPod text appearing on the front panel
display of Solo Mini.
Information on connecting and using
an iPod with the Solo remote is given
in the rDock or rLead quick start
guide supplied with these accessory
units, but see ‘iPod connection’ in the
connectivity section of this manual.

Remote output
This output carries all signals from the
front-panel remote-control receiver. This
can be used to route remote-control
commands to other equipment (potentially
in different locations). For example,
amplier commands could be received by
Solo Mini, then routed to a power amplier
in a remote location using this output
connector.
Programmer switch
This is an override switch that allows an
Arcam dealer to install software upgrades.
The user should not access this facility.
Tape output
This is the output to be used
for connecting to an audio
recorder or for a second room
system. It should be connected
by Phono–Phono (RCA)
cables to the amplier in the
second room.
Preamp output
If you require more power than Solo Mini’s 25W per
channel, you can connect an external power amplier.
Connect the
PRE OUT sockets to the input sockets of
your power amplier, then connect your speakers to
the power amplier’s speaker terminals.
This output may also be used to provide a signal for
a self-powered Low Frequency Effects speaker (a
subwoofer). Arcam’s Logo speaker ideally matches
the design and output characteristics of Solo Mini.
Analogue inputs
Solo Mini provides four pairs of analogue
inputs, allowing connection of other stereo
sources (e.g. a games console, AV, iPod/
Tape, or TV). All four inputs have the same
characteristics – the labels below the inputs
give suggested uses.
To connect a device to an input on the
rear of Solo Mini, use a stereo phono cable
of a suitable length. We advise you to use
high-quality interconnect cables wherever
poss ble to ensure the best poss ble sound
quality.
Antennae inputs
These inputs can be used with the aerials
provided (DAB, if tted, has a telescopic
aerial, FM a wire aerial, and AM a loop
aerial). In weak signal areas, external aerials
of the correct type may be required for
optimal reception.

Mains power input
100V, 115V or 230V AC,
depending on shipping region
Mains switch
This is the main Off/On
switch, though it is usual to
place the unit in low-power
‘Standby mode’ when not
in use.
RS232 control
This is used for controlling an iPod (see page 9),
or for control via a remote computer.
