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 Zone1. On = 12V, O = 0V.
TRIG Z2
Use for remotely turning on and o power amps or 
source equipment for Zone2. 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 
Zone2.
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 
Zone2 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.
