Arcam AVR500 / AVR600 / AV888 external ampliers

E-53

English

XLR balanced line outputs –

AV888 only

e AV888 processor provides XLR connectors for each

of seven channels, to an XLR-equipped amplier (e.g.

the Arcam P777). ree XLR subwoofer outputs are

provided in addition.

RIGHT, LEFT, CENTRE

Connect these to the equivalent (Right, Le and Centre)

front channels of your power amplier.

SW1

Main subwoofer output. Connect this to the input of

your active subwoofer, if present.

SW2, SW3

Subwoofer 2 and Subwoofer 3 auxiliary outputs. ese

are equivalent to SW1 but they allow the use of multiple

subwoofers.

SR, SL

Surround Right and Surround Le outputs. Connect

these to the Surround Right and Le power amplier

inputs.

SBR, SBL

Surround Back Right and Surround Back Le outputs

(only used in 6.1 and 7.1 channel systems). Connect

these to the Surround Back Right and Surround Back

Le power amplier inputs.

For 6.1 channel speaker congurations, connect the

single Surround Back power amplier to the SBL output.

Analogue pre-amplifier outputs

(AVR600/AV888 only)

All pre-amplier analogue outputs are buered, have

a low output impedance and are at line level. ey are

able to drive long cables or several inputs in parallel if

required.

R, L, C

Connect these to the equivalent

(Right, Le and Centre) front

channels of your power amplier.

SW1

Main subwoofer output. Connect

this to the input of your active

subwoofer, if present.

SW2, SW3

Subwoofer 2 and Subwoofer

3 auxiliary outputs. ese are

equivalent to SW1 but they allow

the use of multiple subwoofers.

Surround Right and Surround Le outputs. Connect

these to the Surround Right and Le power amplier

inputs.

SBR, SBL

Surround Back Right and Surround Back Le outputs

(only used in 6.1 and 7.1 channel systems). Connect

these to the Surround Back Right and Surround Back

Le power amplier inputs.

For 6.1 channel speaker congurations, connect the

single Surround Back power amplier to the SBL output.
