Zone 2 and 3 control outputs
The AVR600 also allows remote control from Zones 2
and 3.
Z2 IR and Z3 IR
This allows the AVR600 to be
controlled remotely from Zone 2
or Zone 3 via Infra-red remote
control. Connect a remote IR
receiver in Zone 2 or Zone 3 to
allow control of the AVR600
from these listening/viewing
areas.
For more information on remote
IR receivers, see ‘Z1 IR’ on page
17.
TRIG Z2 and TRIG Z3
This allows the AVR600 to
remotely switch on devices
in Zone 2 or 3 when the
appropriate Zone is selected.
For example you could set your
television in Zone 2 to switch on
when ‘Zone 2’ is selected on AVR600.
For more information on triggers, see ‘Trigger
connectors’ on page 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 AVR600 allows independent routing and control of
analogue audio, Composite and S-Video to a separate set
of equipment, typically used for a second living space,
e.g., bedroom or lounge. The AVR600 also allows a
copy of the Zone 2 analogue audio to be routed to and
controlled in a third living space, Zone 3.
The connection guide on the following page shows how
the AVR600 is normally connected in a multi-room
installation.
Zone 2
Zone 2 receives only signals obtained by the AVR600
from the analogue audio, Composite and S-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 AVR600
only converts video formats for Zone 1.
For this reason, we recommend that in addition to any
digital connections, the Composite and/or S-Video
outputs from your source devices are connected to the
AVR600.
Video outputs
The Z2 S-Video and/or Composite output connectors
of the AVR600 should be connected to the analogue
video inputs (usually labelled S-ViDEo in or
CoMpoSiTE ViDEo in ) of the display device in Zone 2.
If you wish to make an HDMI connection to Zone 2,
you must accept the limitations of the AVR600 video
processing system.
hDMi ouT 1 and ouT 2 both carry the same signals (as
there is only one video processing engine) and are
primarily intended for use in Zone 1. Full HDMI video
functionality in Zone 2 can only be achieved if Zone 1 is
not being used at the same time.
If Zone 1 is being used at the same time as Zone 2,
Zone 2 must follow the Zone 1 source selection if you
wish to receive HDMI signals in Zone 2. Zone 2 must
also be the same video resolution as Zone 1. If you wish
to watch a different source in Zone 2 than is currently
showing over HDMI in Zone 1, Zone 2 will be forced to
use the analogue video connections into and out of the
AVR600.
Due to the complications of using HDMI in Zone 2
we recommend the use of analogue video connections
instead, particularly as it is not possible to apply audio
lip sync to Zone 2 audio to compensate for video
processing delays.

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).
Zone 3
A line-level signal from the stereo analogue audio is
available for Zone 3. This is a copy of the Zone 2 audio
signal, but has its own independent volume control.
audio outputs
The Z3 ouT , R and l phono sockets should be connected
to the inputs of an additional stereo power amplifier in
Zone 3 (for example, the Arcam P38).
