multi-room

set up

The AVR360 allows independent routing and control of analogue audio and Composite video to a separate set of equipment, typically used for a second living space, e.g., bedroom or lounge.

The connection guide on the following page shows how the AVR360 is normally connected in a multi-room installation.

Zone 2

Zone 2 receives only signals obtained by the AVR360 from the analogue audio and Composite video inputs. The analogue inputs are required because there is no analogue-to-digital, digital-to-analogue or DSP processing available for Zone 2 signals – the AVR360 only converts video formats for Zone 1.

For this reason, we recommend that in addition to any digital connections, the analogue audio and Composite video outputs from your source devices are connected to the AVR360.

Video outputs

The Z2 Composite video output connectors of the AVR360 should be connected to the analogue video inputs (usually labelled VidEO iN or CoMPOSitE VidEO in) of the display device in Zone 2.

Audio outputs

The Z2 OuT, R and L phono sockets should be connected to the analogue audio inputs (Usually labelled AnAloGUE AuDio in) of the Zone 2 display device, or to the inputs of an additional stereo power amplifier in Zone 2 (for example, the Arcam P38).

Speaker outputs

If the main zone has a 5.1-channel surround sound speaker system (not a 7.1-channel system), the spare SBL and SBR speaker outputs can be used to power speakers in Zone 2, so that a power amplifier is not required. To configure the outputs, navigate to the “Spkr Types” option in the Setup Menu and set the option “Use Channels 6+7 for” to “Zone 2” (see page E-32).

Zone 2 control connections

The AVR360 also allows remote control from Zone 2.

Z2 IR

This allows the AVR360 to be

controlled remotely from Zone 2 via Infra-red remote control. Connect a remote IR receiver

in Zone 2 to allow control of the AVR360 from this listening/ viewing area.

For more information on remote IR receivers, see ‘Z1 IR’ on page E-17.

TRIG Z2

This allows the AVR360 to remotely switch on devices in Zone 2 when Zone 2 is selected. For example you could set your television in Zone 2 to switch on when ‘Zone 2’ is selected on AVR360.

For more information on triggers, see ‘Trigger connectors’onpageE-17.PleasenotethatnotallAVdevices have this feature, nor are triggers essential for listening and viewing in a separate zone.
