Arcam AVP700 manual Audio connections, Analogue audio connections, Analogue pre-amplifier outputs

If required, each of these six inputs can be allocated to a different audio input from that indicated by the input label, through the ‘Digital Settings’ page of the Set-up menu. This means that, for example, if you wish to use an optical connection for your DVD player, the optical connection for the SAT, AUX, or TAPE can be used and the audio from that digital input assigned to the DVD button.

Digital audio connections

INPUTS

cl CD, cm DVD, cn AV, co SAT, cp AUX, cq TAPE.

Connect the digital outputs of your available source equipment to these inputs.

TAPE OUT.

Connect the left and right audio outputs sockets to the left and right input sockets of your cassette deck, VCR or AUX (usually labelled ‘RECORD IN’). The VCR/AUX connections may also be used for a second or third cassette deck.

The multi-channel input is intended for use with sources that decode the surround channels internally, such as DVD-A or SACD players.

The AVP700 switches these analogue inputs directly to the analogue outputs via its volume control circuit. This direct path maintains the best possible sound quality for DVD-A and SACD sources; it has the side-effect that there is no bass-management for DVD-A or SACD players. In this case, the bass-management functionality of the player itself should be used.

STEREO OUTPUTS

Audio connections

<Wherever possible, connect both the analogue and digital outputs of digital sources. This enables use of a digital input for the main zone and the corresponding analogue input for recording onto an analogue tape deck or VCR, and for the Zone 2 output if used.

<Take care to place the audio cables as far from any power supply cabling as is practically possible to reduce hum and other noise problems.

Analogue audio connections

STEREO INPUTS

2 VCR, 4 AUX, 5 AV, 6 SAT, 7 DVD, br TAPE IN, bs CD.

Connect the left and right outputs of your source equipment to the left and right inputs for each device.

Connection of record decks:

The AVP700 is not fitted with a phono pre-amplifier. If you wish to connect a record deck to the AVP700, then you will need an external pre-amplifier. Please contact your dealer for further information and recommendations on the best option for your system.

MULTI-CHANNEL DVD-A/SACD INPUTS

8 RIGHT, 9 LEFT, bk RIGHT SURROUND, bl LEFT SURROUND, bo CENTRE, bp SUB.

Connect the audio outputs of your DVD-Audio or SACD player to these input sockets.

bm RS BACK, and bn LS BACK.

These are available for formats requiring eight channels. Currently no formats are available requiring these connections, but they are provided for future compatibility.

bt ck DIGITAL OUT.

Two digital output connections are available: optical and coaxial. The two connections carry the same information at all times and both may be used simultaneously. Connect the digital outputs to your digital recording devices such as a CD-R, digital VCR or MiniDisc player.

When a digital source is selected, the digital output will send an exact copy of the incoming digital signal. For example, for a 5.1 digital source, the digital output will also be in 5.1 format.

When an analogue source is selected, the digital output will be muted.

These outputs are also muted if a source is selected where the only connection for that source is HDMI. The digital audio from the HDMI link (if any) is not routed to these outputs.

Analogue pre-amplifier outputs					��
The pre-amplifier outputs are used to send signals your power amplifier (such as the Arcam P1000).
All of these outputs are at line-level.					��
There are two connection types available: buffered phono outputs, or balanced XLR connections. The
recommended connection type to use depends on the distance between the AVP700 and your power					��
amplifier, and the type of power amp. that you are using.
< If the cables are less than 3m long, or the power amplifier does not have balanced inputs, we					��
recommend the use of the buffered (phono) connections;
< If the cables are to be 3m or longer, the balanced (XLR)
outputs are likely to give better results.	FR	FL	CEN	RS	LS
Note that it is not possible to damage either the AVP700 or
your power amplifier by using the “wrong” connection type. The
connection types may be mixed, if necessary.
