Connection guide
Blu-ray Disc (BD) / DVD player
The diagram shows how to make audio and video
connections from a typical BD/DVD player.
The preferred video hook-up, in order of preference is:
<
use the HDMI connector (if HDMI output is
provided by the player), otherwise connect the three
Component video connectors.
<
use the Composite connection if HDMI or
Component connectors are not provided by your
player.
In each case, connect the video inputs labelled
BD
on the
AVR750/450/380.
The preferred audio hook-up is using the coaxial digital
connector (usually marked
DIGITAL AUDIO OUT
), in
addition to the coaxial analogue outputs for left and
right channels.
In each case, use the audio inputs labelled
BD on the
AV950/AVR750/450/380.
Satellite receiver
A satellite receiver is connected in the same way as a BD
player, with the same order of preference according to
the outputs provided by the satellite receiver.
In each case, use the inputs labelled
SAT
on the AV950/
AVR750/450/380. Note that digital audio input from a
satellite receiver sometimes requires a coaxial/TOSLINK
(digital connector) interconnect cable, as some satellite
receivers do not implement audio over HDMI properly
or at all.
CD player
Connect the digital audio output (if provided by the
CD player) to the digital
CD
input of the AV950/
AVR750/450/380, using a high quality coaxial
interconnect cable.
Connect the right and left analogue audio outputs of
the CD player to the analogue
CD
inputs of the AV950/
AVR750/450/380, using a pair of high quality coaxial
interconnect cables.
NOTE:
For each input, you must set the ‘
Audio Source
’
setting according to the connection type.

In strong signal areas , the DAB/FM ‘T’ wire aerial
supplied can be used with reasonable results. Mount the
aerial as high up as possible on a wall.
In the UK the ‘T’‑elements need to be
positioned vertically for DAB reception
since broadcasts are vertically polarised.
In other localities, check with your
Arcam dealer or try both horizontal and
vertical positions for best reception.
Try each usable wall of the room to
see which gives best reception and
use tacks or adhesive tape to secure
the aerial in a ‘T’ shape, but note
that no tacks should come into contact
with the internal wire of the aerial.
When installed and receiving DAB/FM,
check the signal strength by pressing
the front panel or remote control’s
INFO
button until the signal quality indicator
is displayed.
In weak signal areas , a high-gain, externally-
mounted or roof-mounted aerial is desirable in
order to receive the highest number of services.
In Band III transmission areas (such as the UK),
use a multi-element Yagi aerial with the elements
mounted vertically, as the transmissions are
vertically polarised. If you are close to more than one
transmitter, use an omnidirectional or folded dipole
aerial.
If the DAB services in your area are transmitted on
L-band, then ask your dealer for advice for the best
aerial to use.

The AV950/AVR750/450 is fitted with an FM and a
DAB/DAB+ receiver module. The AVR380 is fitted with
an FM module. The type of aerial you need depends on
your listening preferences and the local conditions.
Your AV950/AVR750/450/380 is capable of superb
radio reception, but only if it is receiving a good quality
transmission signal.
Try the aerials supplied with your unit. If you are in a
medium to strong signal area, these should be adequate
for good reception. In areas with poor signal strength,
you may require a roof or loft mounted aerial.
Contact your local Arcam dealer or aerial installation
experts for advice about local reception conditions.
