Using this handbook

This handbook has been designed to give you all the information you need to install, connect, set up and use the Arcam AVR200 surround sound receiver. The remote control handset supplied with the equipment is also described.

In this case, you may wish to skip the sections of this handbook dealing with installation and setting up the unit. Use the Contents list (on this page) to guide you to the relevant sections.
