Interconnect cables
The use of high quality interconnect cables to and from your
AVR200 is recommended to ensure the best sound and picture
quality. Ask your Arcam dealer’s advice on cable selection.
This product does not feature a Phono input stage. If you wish
to connect a turntable to your AVR200 you will need to use
an in-line phono pre-amp. All line level inputs have the same
sensitivity so may be used with any line level source equipment,
even components other than those labelled. If you need to do
so, your Arcam dealer can give you further advice on this.
CD input
Use audio interconnects to attach the left and right audio
outputs from your CD player to the CD IN inputs on the AVR200.
If your CD player has digital output, connect it to the CD DIGITAL
IN socket on the AVR200.
TAPE loop
This input can be used to connect one of many different
recording devices, for example, a tape deck, Mini-Disc or CD-R.
Use audio interconnects to attach the left and right audio
outputs from your recorder to the corresponding TAPE inputs on
the AVR200. If your tape source has digital output, connect it to
the TAPE DIGITAL IN socket on the AVR200.
To complete the record loop, attach the left and right TAPE
outputs from the AVR200 to the corresponding record inputs
on your recorder.
5.1 channel input
This multi-channel input takes up to six (i.e. five channels plus
one sub-woofer) discrete channels of audio from a DVD audio
player or a DVD player with an integrated decoder. Use audio
interconnects to attach the DVD’s outputs to the appropriate 5.1
CH INPUT inputs on the AVR200.
For optimum performance from DVD video, however, it is usually
better to use a digital connection to the AVR200’s own internal
digital surround decoder instead.
SAT input
Use audio interconnects to attach the left and right audio
outputs from your satellite or cable receiver (or digibox) to the
corresponding SAT inputs on the AVR200.
Using either the composite or the S-video output from your
satellite receiver, connect it to the corresponding VIDEO or
S-VIDEO input on the AVR200.
If your satellite receiver provides a coaxial digital output, attach
it via the SAT digital input.
DVD input
In most cases you will achieve the best audio performance
from your DVD player by connecting its digital output to the
DVD digital input of the AVR200, using a suitable 75Ωdigital
cable. Connect either the composite or S-video output from your
DVD player to the corresponding VIDEO or S-VIDEO inputs on
the AVR200.
If you are also using your DVD player to play CDs and prefer to
use the stereo audio outputs, connect these to the CD inputs
of the AVR200.
VCR loop
Use audio interconnects to attach the left and right audio
outputs from your video cassette recorder to the VCR inputs
on the AVR200. For the video signal, use either the composite
or the S-video output from your VCR and attach to the
corresponding input on the AVR200. If the VCR has a digital
output, connect it to the VCR digital input on the AVR200.
To complete the record loop, attach the left and right VCR audio
outputs from the AVR200 to the corresponding record inputs on
your VCR. Using the same type of video connection as for the
input, connect the VCR picture output from the AVR200 to the
corresponding input on your VCR.
AUX input and record loop
Use audio interconnects to attach the left and right audio
outputs from your auxiliary source (another item of audio
equipment or a games console) to the corresponding AUX
inputs on the AVR200.
Using either the composite or the S-video output from your
auxiliary source, connect it to the corresponding VIDEO or
S-VIDEO input of the AVR200.
If your auxiliary source has a digital output, connect it to the AUX
digital input on the AVR200.
