This handbook has been designed to give you all the information 
you need to install, connect, set up and use the Arcam AVR200

It may be that the AVR200 has been installed and set up as 
part of your system installation by a qualifi ed Arcam dealer. In 
this case, you may wish to skip the sections of this handbook 
dealing with installation and setting up the unit. Use the Contents 
list (on this page) to guide you to the relevant sections.
Safety
Safety guidelines are set out on the inside front cover of this 
handbook. 
Many of these items are common sense precautions, but for 
your own safety, and to ensure that you do not damage the unit, 
we strongly recommend that you read them.
