Audio/Video Connections; Making Connections - Arcam AV860 Manuel

audio/video
connections
Before connecting your Receiver to your source
components and speakers, please read through the
next few pages which will explain all the input and
output connectivity that is available. The 'Speakers'
section explains how to connect up your speakers to
avoid damage to the amplifier and how to arrange your
speakers for best performance.
General
The inputs are named to make it easier to reference
connected devices (e.g. ' BD ' or ' VCR '). They all have the
same input circuit, so there is no reason why you should
not connect a different device to any of the inputs. For
example, if you had two BD players and the AV input
was not being used, then the second BD player could be
connected to the AV input.
When connecting a video source, its audio must be
connected to the corresponding sockets. For example,
if you had a satellite decoder plugged into a video
SAT
input, the audio must be connected to the SAT audio
inputs!

Making connections

<
Take care to place cables as far from any power
supply cabling as is practicable, to reduce hum and
other noise problems.
NOTE:
For each input, you must set the 'Video Source' and
'Audio Source' settings according to the connection
type. (see "Input Config. " on page E-29)

Connect the HDMI video outputs of your source
equipment to these corresponding HDMI inputs.
OUTPUT
Connect this output to the HDMI video input of your
display device. This output is compatible with HDMI

the Receiver's 'Display' input.
