Installation

Installation starts with positioning the unit where it can operate

effectively. To use the radio receiver, you will need to install an

FM and/or an AM aerial.

Other input signals – from CD, MD, tape, DAT, VCR, DVD, games

console or satellite receiver – will need to be connected to

sockets on the AVR200's back panel.

Output signals – TV, monitor, projector, preampliﬁ er,

loudspeakers, headphones or other audio or digital outputs –

also need to be connected to sockets on the back panel.

Positioning the unit

Place your AVR200 on a level, ﬁ rm surface.

Avoid placing the unit in direct sunlight or near sources of heat

or damp.

Ensure adequate ventilation. Do not place the unit in an

enclosed space such as a bookcase or cabinet as both of these

will impede air ﬂ ow through the ventilation slots.

Setting up the aerials

FM aerial

An FM aerial is required to receive VHF radio signals. An

external FM ribbon aerial is supplied as an accessory with the

AVR200.

For optimal FM radio reception a roof or loft mounted aerial is

advised. For your own safety it is recommended that a roof top

aerial is ﬁ tted by an experienced contractor. Your Arcam dealer

should be able to put you in contact with an aerial installer.

A contractor will be able to tune your aerial to the nearest

FM transmitter. In an apartment building an aerial system my

already be installed. If this is the case you should have sockets

in your home marked FM or VHF (do not use those marked

TV).

The 'T' shaped wire aerial (dipole design) supplied should give

reasonably good reception. Mount this aerial as high up as

possible on a wall with the elements positioned horizontally. Try

each usable wall of the room to see which gives best reception.

Use tacks or adhesive tape to secure the aerial in a T shape.

The tacks should not come into contact with the internal wire

of the aerial.

Whether you decide to get an aerial professionally installed or

opt to use the supplied aerial it should be connected to the FM

Antenna input on the rear of the unit.

AVR200

AM aerial

An AM aerial is required to receive AM/Medium Wave radio

signals.

An external AM loop aerial is supplied as an accessory with the

AVR200. This should be attached to the AM Antenna inputs with

one end connected to AM and the other to Ground. It does not

matter which way round this aerial is ﬁ tted. Rotate the aerial to

discover which position gives the best reception.

In areas of weak reception or when the receiver is used inside

a steel framed building (such as an apartment building) you

can use a wire between 3 and 5 metres long to strengthen

reception. Mount this high up outside the building, if possible,

and connect one end of this wire to the AM antenna input as

well as the loop aerial supplied. DO NOT DISCONNECT THE

LOOP AERIAL.

The AM tuning 'step size' needs to be set according to your

location. This is done using the switch on the rear panel: set it to

10kHz if you are in North America or 9kHz anywhere else.
