manual abstract
Connect these input sockets to the equivalent audio outputs of your DVD-Audio or SACD player. ct LS BACK, and dk RS BACK. These are available for formats requiring eight channels. Currently no formats are available requiring these connections, which are provided for future compatibility. ANALOGUE PREAMPLIFIER OUTPUTS All these analogue outputs are buffered, have a low output impedance and are at line level. They are able to drive long cables or several inputs in parallel if required. LEFT CENTRE SUB/2 L/SURR LS/BACK RIGHT SUB/1 SUB/3 R/SURR RS/BACK dm do dq ds ek dl dn dp dr dt OUTPUTS dl LEFT, dm RIGHT, dn CENTRE. Connect these to the equivalent front channel inputs of your power amplifier. do SUB 1. Main subwoofer output. Connect this to the input of your active subwoofer, if you have one. dpSUB 2, dq SUB 3. Subwoofer auxiliary outputs 2 and 3. These are equivalent to do and allow the use of multiple subwoofers. If you are using more than one subwoofer, please set the number used on the subwoofer setting page. Refer to ‘Basic and Advanced Set up’, ‘Subwoofer Settings’. dr L SURR. Surround left output. Connect this output to the surround left power amplifier input. ds R SURR. Surround right output. Connect this output to the surround right power amplifier input. dt LS BACK, ek RS BACK Surround back left and right outputs (only used in 7.1 channel systems). Connect these outputs to the inputs of your LS back and RS back amplifiers. ZONE 2 CONNECTIONS The AV8 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. Zone 2 only outputs a signal from the analogue audio and 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. As the AV8 does not convert video formats a composite signal must also be connected from the source. For this reason we recommend that source devices that have a digital connection are also connected to the analogue inputs. High quality YUV/RGB and S-video sources should also have their composite output connected to the AV8 for use in zone 2.

Connect these to a line level input on your zone 2 amplifier. go IN ZONE 2. This allows the AV8 to be controlled remotely from zone 2 via infrared remote control. A receiver compatible with this connector is available from Xantech (part no. 291-10). Please contact a Xantech registered dealer for this part, as ARCAM do not stock them. See for more information. The 3.5mm jack plug for this connector is wired as follows: 3.5mm stereo jack Function Tip Signal Ring 0V Sleeve 12V, 30mA current-limited This follows the Xantech standard for IR transmission over wire. gr ZONE 2 Composite video connection. Connect to your zone 2 video display using 75. low loss coaxial cable. VIDEO CONNECTIONS IMPORTANT NOTES The AV8 has no video format conversion between component, RGB, S-video or composite. Wherever possible connect multiple video outputs from your video sources. This enables use of the higher quality video connection for the main system and the corresponding S-video and composite connection for the record and zone 2 outputs. For any video source to be viewed in zone 2 you must have a composite video connection between the source and the AV8.
