e connector is used with control devices having an
RS232 serial port (for example, Crestron and AMX
touch-screen controllers).
Network connector
Networking is a large subject and only the briefest
guidelines are presented in this handbook. Please
contact your Arcam dealer or specialist installer for
more information about introducing the Receiver into
your computer network.
For information on how to use the Receiver’s network
features, the USB socket, and for a list of supported le
types, refer to see page E-36.

Ethernet
If an Ethernet cable is connected, the Receiver will
automatically attempt to connect to your network.
You should use CAT5 cable plugged into the RJ45 socket
labelled ETHERNET on the rear panel.
If your network uses static IP addressing rather than
DHCP, you will need to provide IP address, gateway and
DNS; see page E-31 for information on setting up the
network.
USB connector
e Receiver can play les stored on a USB mass
storage device, typically a pen drive, but any USB device
that complies with the ‘mass storage device‘ class is
compatible.
e Receiver only supports the direct connection of USB
devices and will not support devices connected through
a hub. If regular access to the USB socket is required, you
may nd it convenient to use a USB extension lead; see
page E-36 for details of supported le types.

tip: Trigger output
sleeve: Ground
e trigger connectors (TRIG Z1 and TRIG Z2) provide an
electrical signal whenever the Receiver is switched on
and the relevant zone enabled.
e trigger signal can be used to switch on and o
compatible pieces of home entertainment equipment,
for example, you could set up a trigger to turn on your
television and BD player whenever the Receiver was
switched on.
ere are two trigger output sockets on the Receiver,
each capable of outputting a 12V, 70mA switching
signal. e socket is designed for mono 3.5mm jacks: tip
is the trigger output, sleeve is ground.
TRIG Z1
Use for remotely turning on and o power amps or
source equipment for Zone1. On = 12V, O = 0V.
TRIG Z2
Use for remotely turning on and o power amps or
source equipment for Zone2. On = 12V, O = 0V.

tip: Modulated signal
sleeve: Ground
e infrared inputs (Z1 IR and Z2 IR) allow the
connection of external IR receivers, either when the
Receiver front panel IR receiver is fully or partially
obstructed or to allow the use of a remote control in
Zone2.
ere are two IR inputs on the Receiver, each designed
for stereo or mono 3.5mm jacks. Tip is the modulated
signal, sleeve is ground.
Z1 IR
is input is intended for use with a local IR receiver
when the front panel of the Receiver is blocked.
Z2 IR
is input is intended for use with an IR receiver in
Zone2 to allow remote control of Receiver from a
second room.
NOTE
Sockets referring to ‘Z2’ relate to connections used
in multi-room installation. For more information on
these connectors see page E-37.
A supplier of infra-red receivers and emitter accessories
and systems is Xantech. See www.xantech.com for
more information, or ask your Arcam dealer.
NOTE
e IR inputs on the Receiver are designed for
modulated signals. If the external IR receiver
demodulates the IR signal, it will not work. Also the
unit does not provide power for external receivers
on the IR jack, therefore an external power source
will be required.
