Interconnect cables

The use of high quality interconnect cables to and from your
AVR200 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 AVR200 you will need to use
an in-line phono pre-amp. All line level inputs have the same
sensitivity so may be used with any line level source equipment,
even components other than those labelled. If you need to do
so, your Arcam dealer can give you further advice on this.

This input can be used to connect one of many different
recording devices, for example, a tape deck, Mini-Disc or CD-R.
Use audio interconnects to attach the left and right audio
outputs from your recorder to the corresponding

5.1 channel input
This multi-channel input takes up to six (i.e. fi ve channels plus
one sub-woofer) discrete channels of audio from a DVD audio
player or a DVD player with an integrated decoder. Use audio
interconnects to attach the DVD's outputs to the appropriate
CH INPUT
For optimum performance from DVD video, however, it is usually
better to use a digital connection to the AVR200'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

In most cases you will achieve the best audio performance
from your DVD player by connecting its digital output to the
digital input of the AVR200, using a suitable 75Ω digital

cable. Connect either the composite or S-video output from your
DVD player to the corresponding
the AVR200.
If you are also using your DVD player to play CDs and prefer to
use the stereo audio outputs, connect these to the
CD DIGITAL
of the AVR200.
