Zone 2 and 3 control outputs
e AVR600 and AV888 also allow remote control from
Zones 2 and 3.
Z2 IR and Z3 IR
is allows the AVR600/AV888
to be controlled remotely from
Zone 2 or Zone 3 via Infra-
red remote control. Connect a
remote IR receiver in Zone 2
or Zone 3 to allow control of
the AVR600/AV888 from these
listening/viewing areas.
For more information on remote
IR receivers, see ‘Z1 IR’ on page
17.
TRIG Z2 and TRIG Z3
is allows the AVR600/
AV888 to remotely switch on
devices in Zone 2 or 3 when the
appropriate Zone is selected.
For example you could set your
television in Zone 2 to switch on
when ‘Zone 2’ is selected on AVR600/AV888.
For more information on triggers, see ‘Trigger
connectors’ on page 17. Please note that not all AV
devices have this feature, nor are triggers essential for
listening and viewing in a separate zone.
multi-room
set up
e AVR600 and AV888 allow independent routing and
control of analogue audio, Composite and S-Video to
a separate set of equipment, typically used for a second
living space, e.g., bedroom or lounge. e AVR600 and
AV888 also allow a copy of the Zone 2 analogue audio
to be routed to and controlled in a third living space,
Zone 3.
e connection guide on the facing page shows how the
AVR600 or AV888 is normally connected in a multi-
room installation.
Zone 2
Zone 2 receives only signals obtained by the AVR600
or AV888 from the analogue audio, Composite and
S-Video inputs. e analogue inputs are required
because there is no analogue-to-digital, digital-to-
analogue or DSP processing available for Zone 2 signals
– the unit only converts video formats for Zone 1.
For this reason, we recommend that in addition to any
digital connections, the Composite and/or S-Video
outputs from your source devices are connected to the
AVR600 or AV888.
Video outputs
e Z2 S-Video and/or Composite output connectors
of the AVR600/AV888 should be connected to the
analogue video inputs (usually labelled SVIDEO IN or
COMPOSITE VIDEO IN) of the display device in Zone 2.
If you wish to make an HDMI connection to Zone 2,
you must accept the limitations of the AVR600/AV888
video processing system.
HDMI OUT 1 and OUT 2 both carry the same signals (as
there is only one video processing engine) and are
primarily intended for use in Zone 1. Full HDMI video
functionality in Zone 2 can only be achieved if Zone 1 is
not being used at the same time.
If Zone 1 is being used at the same time as Zone 2,
Zone 2 must follow the Zone 1 source selection if you
wish to receive HDMI signals in Zone 2. Zone 2 must
also be the same video resolution as Zone 1. If you wish
to watch a dierent source in Zone 2 than is currently
showing over HDMI in Zone 1, Zone 2 will be forced to
use the analogue video connections into and out of the
AVR600/AV888.
Due to the complications of using HDMI in Zone 2
we recommend the use of analogue video connections
instead, particularly as it is not possible to apply audio
lip sync to Zone 2 audio to compensate for video
processing delays.
Audio outputs
e Z2 OUT, R and L phono sockets should be connected
to the analogue audio inputs (Usually labelled
ANALOGUE AUDIO IN) of the Zone 2 display device, or
to the inputs of an additional stereo power amplier in
Zone 2 (for example, the Arcam P38).
Zone 3
A line-level signal from the stereo analogue audio is
available for Zone 3. is is a copy of the Zone 2 audio
signal, but has its own independent volume control.
Audio outputs
e Z3 OUT, R and L phono sockets should be connected
to the inputs of an additional stereo power amplier in
Zone 3 (for example, the Arcam P38).
