Interconnect cables
The use of high quality interconnect cables to and from your AVR100 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 AVR100 you will need to use an
CD input
Use audio interconnects to attach the left and right audio outputs from your CD player to the CD inputs on the AVR100.
TAPE loop
This input can be used to connect one of many different recording devices, for example, a tape deck,
To complete the record loop, attach the left and right TAPE outputs from the AVR100 to the corresponding record inputs on your recorder.
5.1 channel input
This
For optimum performance from DVD video, however, it is usually better to use a digital connection to the AVR100’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 AVR100.
Using either the composite or the
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 AVR100, using a suitable 75Ω digital cable. Connect either the composite or
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 AVR100.
VCR loop
Use audio interconnects to attach the left and right audio outputs from your video cassette recorder to the VCR inputs on the AVR100. For the video signal, use either the composite or the
To complete the record loop, attach the left and right VCR audio outputs from the AVR100 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 AVR100 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 AVR100. If your source produces composite video output, connect this to the AUX composite video input.
If the auxiliary source is a recording device, complete the record loop by attaching the left and right AUX outputs to the record inputs on your recording device. With a video recorder, connect the composite video output (AUX) to the corresponding input on your recording device.
GROUND LIFT switch
If your system only takes audio sources from CD or DVD, set this switch to ‘GROUND’. In more complex setups which involve satellite inputs or radio aerials, grounding the unit may actually increase the level of background hum or buzz in the loudspeakers, in which case set the switch to ‘GROUND LIFT’.
