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 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.
CD input
Use audio interconnects to attach the left and right audio
outputs from your CD player to the
TAPE loop
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
on the AVR100.
To complete the record loop, attach the left and right
outputs from the AVR100 to the corresponding record inputs
on your recorder.
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 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
Using either the composite or the S-video output from your
satellite receiver, connect it to the corresponding

DVD input
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 AVR100, using a suitable 75Ω digital
DVD
cable. Connect either the composite or S-video output from your
DVD player to the corresponding
the AVR100.
If you are also using your DVD player to play CDs and prefer to
use the stereo audio outputs, connect these to the
of the AVR100.
VCR loop
Use audio interconnects to attach the left and right audio
outputs from your video cassette recorder to the
on the AVR100. For the video signal, use either the composite
or the S-video output from your VCR and attach to the
corresponding input on the AVR100. If the VCR has a digital
output, connect it to the

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
inputs on the AVR100. If your source produces composite video
output, connect this to the
5.1
If the auxiliary source is a recording device, complete the record
loop by attaching the left and right
inputs on your recording device. With a video recorder, connect
