Before you start! Introduction The AVR350 is a high quality and high performance home cinema processor and multi-channel audio amplifier built to Arcam’s traditional high quality design and manufacturing standards. It combines high resolution digital processing with high performance audio and video components to bring you an unrivalled home entertainment centre. In addition to the built-in tuner, the AVR350 allows switching and volume control of seven analogue and six digital sources, making

Before making connections Before connecting your equipment it is important to think about the following points, as these will affect your choice of connections and subsequent use of the system. Audio Wherever possible, connect both analogue and digital outputs of digital sources. This enables use of a digital input for the main zone with the corresponding analogue input used for recording onto an analogue tape deck or VCR, or for the Zone 2 output. Video The AVR350 allows for conversion betwe

Video connections The following video conversions are possible: The AVR350 allows for conversion between different video formats. This means that the AVR350 can convert between To: Composite S-video Component/ composite, S-video and component, if required. From: RGB For example, if you are watching a composite input from a VCR, Composite Yes Yes Yes you may view it from the S-video or Component/RGB video outputs of the AVR350. This allows you to use a single (typically S-video

HDMI An HDMI connection between a source and your display device offers the best possible picture quality. This connection type is, however, the most limiting in terms of routing, advised cable length and conversion. The AVR350 provides two HDMI inputs; these are labelled ‘DVD’ and ‘SAT’ in anticipation of the most common use for these connectors, but they may be used for any HDMI source. These inputs may be configured to be associated with any of the other sources, so that selecting th

Zone connections The AVR350 allows independent routing and control of analogue audio and composite ZONE ZONE2 2 MON VIDEO OUT video to a second room such as a kitchen, bedroom or lounge. This second room is known OUT as ‘Zone 2’. For Zone 2, the AVR350 outputs a line-level audio signal taken from the stereo analogue audio, and a composite video signal taken from the composite video input (for a given �� �� �� source). The analogue inputs are required because there is no analogue-to-digital,

Configuring the AVR350 The AVR350 ‘Set-up Menu’ has six ‘Basic’ and five ‘Advanced’ menu screens that take you through the configuration process. The ‘Basic’ menus enable you to match your AVR350 to your speakers; the ‘Advanced’ menus allow you to optimise the operation of your system. Screen shots of these menus are shown in shaded boxes on the following pages. The best way to set up the AVR350 is using the on-screen display (OSD). To view the OSD for the initial set up, use the composite v

The ‘Basic’ Set-up Menus 1 – General Settings: Max Volume: This limits the maximum volume setting the system can be turned up to. This is a useful feature to prevent accidental overdriving of low power- handling speakers, for example. Max On Volume: Limits the maximum volume the system operates at when it is first switched on. The system comes on at the ‘Max On Volume’ if the last used (possibly very loud) volume exceeds this value. Delay units: Controls whether the delay settings for the spe

HQ Video: Choose between RGB or YUV; if you have a YUV display, set this item to YUV, otherwise set it to RGB. Note that this setting has no effect on the HDMI output. This setting controls the routing of the HQ-video within the AVR350, either as 3-wire YUV or 4- wire RGB signals (with the synchronisation signal on composite for RGB). In addition, it controls the operation of the S-video/composite-to-HQ video converter. When set to YUV, incoming composite and S-video signals are converted to

Sub Stereo: This setting allows the volume level of the subwoofer to be adjusted for when the subwoofer is being used with 2-channel (stereo) sources. The subwoofer level for stereo music often needs to be set at a lower level than that for cinema use; use this trim setting, with a stereo source, to reduce the subwoofer output in stereo playback to an acceptable level. The level required depends on various factors such as speakers, the types and styles of music to be played and personal tast

5 – Level settings The relative sensitivity of different speakers can lead to some speakers sounding disproportionately loud or quiet, relative to others in the system. The level settings of your AVR350 can help to address this inbalance. It is important to calibrate the speakers correctly to achieve an accurately centred sound stage. If possible, we recommend you use a sound pressure level meter (SPL meter) to perform this part of the set-up as it is difficult to judge the levels accurately

The ‘Advanced’ Set-up Menus ADV 1 – Speaker Eq. This allows fine adjustment of bass and treble in 1dB steps (up to ±6dB) for each of the speakers in the system. Use these adjustments sparingly to compensate for speaker response problems caused by positioning, adjacent surface textures, or mixed brands of loudspeakers. Work with one speaker on at a time and, as an example, use the bass control to reduce boom problems for speakers placed in corners, and the treble control for speakers placed

ADV 4 – Zone Settings ZONE VOL: Sets the volume for Zone 2. Max Vol 0–83: Limits the maximum volume setting for Zone 2. This is a useful feature to prevent accidental overdriving of low power-handling speakers, for example. Fix Vol: This selects between fixed and variable audio output to Zone 2. If NO is selected, the output level can be controlled from Zone 2 or the main system. If you wish to fix the volume level, first set the Zone 2 volume to the desired level, then select YES. Max O
