S-Video and

Composite

connectors

AV, DVD, SAT, VCR, PVR
Connect these inputs to the

S-Video and Composite outputs

of your available source equipment.

VCR OUT, PVR OUT,
These are recording outputs. Connect these to the

‘S-Video in’ or ‘Composite in’ sockets (usually labelled

RECoRD

’) on your recording device.

MAIN OUT
Connect this output to the S-Video or Composite

sockets on your primary Zone 1 display.

Component/RGb

video connectors

These inputs are suitable for

connection to source devices

which output Component (YUV

or YPbPr) or RGB high quality

analogue video signals. These

signals are usually available from DVD players, set-top

boxes or games consoles.
If you are connecting up to an RGB source you will

also need to connect the source’s Composite output to

the unit’s Composite input to act as a video sync. The

Composite signal should be on the same named input as

the RGB signals.
RGB video outputs on source equipment are often on

SCART connectors. You will need to use a SCART to

‘RGB+Sync on phono’ breakout cable, available from

your Arcam dealer.

NOTE
When setting up the menus (later in this manual),

you will need to select whether the three-wire high

quality video input is Component or RGB for each

input. This is done on the ‘HQ Video In’ line in the

Input Config menu. Failure to do this can result in a

green looking picture or a picture that is unstable.

AV, DVD, SAT, VCR, PVR
Connect the Component video outputs of your source

equipment to these inputs.

OUT
Connect this output to the Component video input of

your display device.

NOTE
Analogue RGB video output is not available from

the AVR600 or AV888. The analogue three-wire

high quality video output is always configured as

Component video.

digital audio

connectors

TAPE, CD, AV, DVD, SAT, VCR, PVR
Connect these inputs to the digital

outputs of your available source

equipment.

OPTICAL, COAX
Connect the optical or coaxial output

to your digital recording device such as

CD-R, digital VCR or Minidisc player.
When a digital source is selected,

the digital output will send an exact

copy of the incoming digital signal. For example, for a

5.1 digital source, the digital output will also be in 5.1

format.
When an analogue-only source is selected, this is

digitized by the unit and routed to the digital outputs.
These outputs are muted if a source is selected where the

HDMI connection is used and is transmitting HD audio.

The digital audio from the HDMI link will not be routed

to these outputs.
