Placing The Unit
- Place the streamer on a level, firm surface, avoiding direct sunlight and sources of heat or damp.
- Do not place the ST25 on top of an amplifier or other source of heat.
- Make sure the remote-control receiver to the right of the front panel display is unobstructed, otherwise this will impair the use of the remote-control.
- Do not place your record deck on top of this unit. Record decks are very sensitive to the noise generated by mains power supplies which will be heard as a background ‘hum’ if the record deck is too close.
- The normal function of the unit may be disturbed by strong electromagnetic interference. If this occurs, simply reset the unit with the power button, or move the unit to another location.
This product offers the user the option to deactivate power management functions. Note that doing this will increase energy consumption of the product.

- Connect either an analogue or digital audio connection from the output of the ST25 to an input of the ARCAM amplifier.
- Connect the control cable from the ST25 CONTROL socket to the CONTROL socket on the ARCAM amplifier.
- Power on both ST25 and ARCAM amplifier.
- In the ST25 settings menu, set the Volume Output option to EXTERNAL.
- In the ST25 settings menu, set the Output Type to Analogue or Digital to match the audio connection type used.
- In the ARCAM amplifier, set the Streamer Input option in the System Settings menu to match the input that you have connected the ST25 into.
