listening in a second room
Solo Movie 5.1 provides two independent volume controls, offering you the
possibility of listening to the same output in two different rooms. To do this, you need
the following:
< a power amplifier (such as the Arcam P90) and speakers
< suitable interconnect cables
< a remote control receiver (optional), available from your Arcam dealer
< a second remote control (optional), available from your Arcam dealer.
Make the connections as follows:
1. Ensure that all equipment is switched off and disconnected from the mains
supply.
2. Connect the
ZONE 2/REC OUT outputs of Solo Movie 5.1 to the audio inputs
of the power amplifier using interconnect cables.
3. Connect the speakers to the speaker terminals of the power amplifier.
4. Plug the remote receiver from the second room into the connector
labelled REMOTE IN ZONE 2 on the rear of Solo Movie 5.1.
5. Reconnect the equipment to the mains supply and switch
on. You should be able to hear the output of Solo
Movie 5.1 through the remote power amplifier,
and control the volume using the remote
control.
Zone 2 volume control
Note that the second room is always muted
when Solo Movie 5.1 is switched on – it must be
unmuted ‘explicitly’ when required. This is to avoid
unexpected output in the remote location.
The Zone 2 volume can be controlled from the
main room by using the front panel controls or the
remote control.
Front panel control:
1. Press and hold the INFO button to turn the ‘Zone 2
Volume’ display on.
2. Unmute or change the previous volume setting by pressing the
VOLUME+ or –VOLUME buttons.
Remote control:
1. Press the AMP button to ensure that the CR100 is in Amplifier modes.
2. Press
SHIFT +
4
to turn the ‘Zone 2 Volume’ display on.
3. Unmute or change the previous volume setting by pressing the
+ or
– buttons.
The ‘Zone 2 Volume’ display defaults to the previous display after about five seconds.

If your set up is suitable for simultaneous video output (see ‘Using two video
connections simultaneously’, page 8), you can use the Composite video output for
Zone 2.
Remember that Solo Movie 5.1 does not carry out video conversion, so for
Composite video to be available for Zone 2, it must be input as Composite video.
If you have a SCART-equipped unit, Composite video is included in the SCART
connection. If you have a Component (YUV) video unit, you will need to connect the
Composite signal using a Phono–Phono (RCA) cable rated at 75Ω.
