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 AVR280 allows for conversion between different video formats. This means that the AVR280 can

convert between composite, S-video and component, if required.

For example, if you are watching a composite input from a VCR, you may view it from the S-video or

Component/RGB video outputs of the AVR280. This allows you to use a single (typically high-quality

Component/RGB) connection between the AVR280 and your display device.

However, neither the record loops nor Zone 2 work from the video converter. This means that to record

a S-video or composite signal, a S-video or composite signal (respectively) must be supplied; to

view video in Zone 2, a composite signal is required.

The video quality hierarchy is as follows:

Component/RGB – highest

S-video – middle

Composite – lowest

If all the video inputs are connected simultaneously from one device, e.g., a DVD player, the

AVR280 will select automatically the best format available.

Digital video (HDMI)

The AVR280 is tted with two HDMI inputs and one HDMI output, allowing switching of HDMI

signals. In most cases, HDMI provides the highest quality video connection between your source

and your display. The AVR280 does not perform conversion between analogue audio/video and

HDMI.

HDMI signals cannot be routed to Zone 2. If you are using an HDMI connection and you wish to

have the same audio and video in Zone 2, then you will need additionally to provide analogue

audio and video connections (as described above).

Zone 2

A line-level signal from the stereo analogue audio together with the composite video inputs

are available for Zone 2. The analogue inputs from source components are required because

the AVR280 provides no analogue-to-digital, DSP processing or digital-to-analogue conversion;

the composite video connections are required since the AVR280 does not perform video format

conversion for Zone 2.

For these reasons, we recommend that source devices that have a digital connection are also connected

to the analogue inputs. High quality YUV/RGB and S-video sources should also have their composite

outputs connected to the AVR280 for use in Zone 2.

Using the remote control

The remote control requires four ‘AAA’ batteries to operate. To insert the batteries into

the remote control, please follow the instructions in the side panel diagram:

Notes on inserting the remote control batteries

Incorrect use of batteries can result in hazards such as leakage and bursting.

Do not mix old and new batteries together.

Do not use different kinds of battery together—although they may look similar,

different batteries may have different voltages.

Ensure that the plus (+) and minus (—) ends of each battery match the

directions in the diagram on the right.

Remove batteries from equipment that is not going to be used for a month or

more.

When disposing of used batteries, please comply with government (or other)

regulations that apply in your country or area.

Reliable use

Please keep in mind the following when using the remote control:

Ensure that there are no obstacles between the remote control and the remote

sensor on the AVR280. The remote has a range of about 7 metres. (If the remote

sensor is obscured, the remote control input jack on the rear panel is available.

Please contact your dealer for further information.)

Remote operation may become unreliable if strong sunlight or uorescent light is

shining on the remote sensor of the AVR280.

Replace the batteries when you notice a reduction in the operating range of the

remote control.

1. Open the battery

compartment by pressing

the button on the back of the

handset.

2. Insert four AAA batteries into

the battery compartment:

two with ‘+’ facing the top of

the handset, and two with ‘+’

facing the end cap, as in the

diagram.

3. Lower the end cap onto the

plastic locating plate in the

handset. This acts as a hinge,

and you can now push the

end cap rmly into its locked

position with a click.
