Arcam AVR surround amplifier AVR400 - Manual (Page 14)

E-12
analogue audio inputs
AV, SAT, BD, VCR, PVR, CD
Connect the left and right inputs to the left and right
outputs of your source equipment.
MCH input
This multi-channel analogue
audio input can be connected
to a source device which
outputs surround sound on its
analogue outputs. Such devices
typically include DVD-Audio
and SACD players. This input does not pass through
any of the audio processing in the AVr400, therefore
functions such as speaker size and distance from the
listening position should be copied from the AVr400
Setup menus into the Setup menus of your multi-channel
source. note however that speaker level trims are applied
to the MCH input on the AVr400. Therefore speaker level
trim settings on multichannel source equipment should be
left unset at zero.
analogue pre-amplifier outputs
All pre-amplifier analogue
outputs are buffered, have
a low output impedance,
are at line level and follow
the Zone 1 volume control
setting. They are able to drive
long cables or several inputs in parallel if required.
For more information on connecting speakers or
additional power amplifiers, see page E-18 and E-19.

PHONES AUX
Front panel aUX input
The front panel AUX input can be
used as an analogue or optical
digital input.
For analogue sources, use a stereo
3.5mm lead; for digital sources
use a 3.5mm optical lead. The
front input is also used for the
auto-setup microphone input.
Front panel PHonES socket
This socket accepts headphones with an impedance
rating between 32 Ω and 600 Ω , fitted with a 3.5mm
stereo jack plug. The headphone socket is always active,
except when AVr400 is muted.
When the headphone jack is inserted, the speaker
outputs and analogue pre-amplifier outputs are
automatically muted.
