INTRODUCTION SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
Thank you for purchasing this Arcam product.
The Xeta 2 is a sophisticated Home Cinema Dolby Pro Logic processor which offers superb sound
and picture quahty. It must be used with an integrated amphfier or a power ampHfier to drive the
front left and right speakers.
The Xeta 2 is a httle more compHcated to cormect up than an ordinary amphfier. Please read these
instructions carefully and refer to the relevant diagrams on the following pages. Inside the front cover
are diagrams of the Xeta 2's front and rear panels. Each input/output socket, function button and
indicator is clearly numbered. The numbers correspond with those given in the instructions.
For ease of use, the Xeta 2 is suppHed with the CR40 infra-red remote control handset. Many
functions are only available via the remote control.
The Xeta 2 uses On Screen Graphics (OSG) which are displayed on your TV screen via the
composite video MONITOR OUT ® connection, to show which functions have been selected and
which system adjustments have been set.
If your TV does not have a composite video or SCv^RT input it is not possible to view the On Screen
Graphics in nomial use, but it is stiU possible to use the Xeta 2 by following the BASIC SET UP
procedure on page 8 and figure 6.
