Zone 2 control connections

The AVr360 also allows remote control from Zone 2.

Z2 IR
This allows the AVr360 to be

controlled remotely from Zone 2

via Infra-red remote control.

Connect a remote Ir receiver

in Zone 2 to allow control of

the AVr360 from this listening/

viewing area.
For more information on remote Ir receivers, see ‘Z1

Ir’ on page E-17.

TRIG Z2

This allows the AVr360 to remotely switch on devices

in Zone 2 when Zone 2 is selected. For example you

could set your television in Zone 2 to switch on when

‘Zone 2’ is selected on AVr360.
For more information on triggers, see ‘Trigger

connectors’ on page E-17. Please note that not all AV devices

have this feature, nor are triggers essential for listening

and viewing in a separate zone.

multi-room

set up

The AVr360 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.
The connection guide on the following page shows how

the AVr360 is normally connected in a multi-room

installation.

Zone 2

Zone 2 receives only signals obtained by the AVr360

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 – the AVr360

only converts video formats for Zone 1.
For this reason, we recommend that in addition to any

digital connections, the analogue audio and Composite

video outputs from your source devices are connected to

the AVr360.

Video outputs

The

Z2

Composite video output connectors of the

AVr360 should be connected to the analogue video

inputs (usually labelled

ViDEO iN

or

COMPOSiTE ViDEO iN

)

of the display device in Zone 2.

audio outputs

The

Z2 OUT

,

R

and

l

phono sockets should be connected

to the analogue audio inputs (Usually labelled

ANAlOGUE AUDiO iN

) of the Zone 2 display device, or

to the inputs of an additional stereo power amplifier in

Zone 2 (for example, the Arcam P38).

Speaker outputs

If the main zone has a 5.1-channel surround sound

speaker system (not a 7.1-channel system), the spare

SBL and SBr speaker outputs can be used to power

speakers in Zone 2, so that a power amplifier is not

required. To configure the outputs, navigate to the “Spkr

Types” option in the Setup Menu and set the option

“Use Channels 6+7 for” to “Zone 2” (see page E-32).
