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.

Using either the composite or the S-video output from your satellite receiver, connect it to the corresponding VIDEO or S-VIDEOinput 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 75digital cable. Connect either the composite or S-video output from your DVD player to the corresponding VIDEO or S-VIDEOinputs 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.

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.

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-VIDEOinput of the AVR200.

If your auxiliary source has a digital output, connect it to the AUX digital input on the AVR200.
