Multi-Room Set Up; Multi-Room Connection Guide - Arcam AV950 Handbook

The AV950/AVR750/450/380 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 AV950/AVR750/450/380 is normally connected in a
set up
multi-room installation.

Zone 2 receives only signals obtained by the AV950/

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 AV950/AVR750/450/380 only converts
ANALOGUE AUDIO
video formats for Zone 1.
For this reason, we recommend that in addition to any
