Connecting outputs

Connecting to other equipment

Monitor output
Both composite and S-video monitor outputs are provided for
connection to the 'Video line in' of your TV, monitor, or projector.
If you have both Composite and S-video inputs connected
to your AVR100 you need only connect the
Output to your TV (provided that your TV accepts an S-video
input).
Loudspeaker outputs
Before connecting loudspeakers to your AVR100 you must set
the Impedance switch on the rear to the correct position.
If your loudspeakers are rated at 6Ω or lower set the switch to
the 4–6Ω position. If your loudspeakers are rated higher than
6Ω, set the switch to the 8Ω position.
The AVR100 is fi tted with loudspeaker terminals in line with BFA
(British Federation of Audio) standard specifi cation. The terminal
will accept spades, bare wire or a BFA plug. To connect spades
or bare wires, unscrew the end of the terminal, insert the wire
or spade and screw back up. Ensure that no stray strands of
wire are allowed to touch other cables or the AVR100's casing
as this can cause a short circuit and damage the amplifi er.
Bi-wiring and Bi-amping loudspeakers
Notes on these techniques are given in the Reference section
of this handbook.
Preamplifi er outputs
If you wish to upgrade your system by adding a power amplifi er,
always specify an Arcam unit to ensure matching gain.
The AVR100 has six line-level pre-amp outputs that can be
connected to Arcam external power amplifi ers to bi-amplify
('bi-amp') any of the channels. Alternatively, the AVR100 can be
used solely as a preamplifi er.

Headphone output
A 1/4" stereo jack socket is provided on the front panel for
headphone listening. Inserting the jack socket automatically
mutes the loudspeaker and pre-amp outputs from the AVR100.

Connecting to a power supply

Wrong plug?
Check that the plug supplied with the unit fi ts your supply and
that your mains supply voltage agrees with the voltage setting
(120V or 230V) indicated on the rear panel of the unit.
Monitor
S-VIDEO
If your mains supply voltage or mains plug is different, consult
your Arcam dealer or Arcam Customer Support on +44 (0)1223
203203.
Mains lead
The appliance is normally supplied with a moulded mains plug
already fi tted to the lead. If for any reason the plug needs to
be removed, it must be disposed of immediately and securely,
as it is a potential shock hazard when inserted into the mains
socket. Should you require a new mains lead, contact your
Arcam dealer.
Plugging in
Push the plug (IEC line socket) of the power cable supplied with
the unit into the socket (
sure it is pushed in fi rmly.
Put the plug on the other end of the cable into your power
supply socket and switch the socket on.
Non-use periods
If the unit is to be left unused for an extended period, we
recommend that you switch the unit off from the front panel
button, rather than use 'stand by' mode with the remote control.
