listening in a second room

Solo Movie 2.1 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 2.1 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 2.1.

5. Reconnect the equipment to the mains supply and switch on. You should be able to

hear the output of Solo Movie 2.1 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

2.1 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

DVD button to ensure that the CR100

is in DVD mode.

2. Press SHIFT +

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 2.1 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 75

Ω.

Controlling Solo Movie 2.1 from a second room

The Solo Movie 2.1 will require a remote pick-up device with a 12V external

power supply (such as a Xantech Dinky Link – see www.xantech.com) located

in Zone 2, together with a power ampliﬁer (such as an Arcam P80 or P90) to

complete the system.

The diagram below shows the wiring scheme, which will also apply to other IR

pick-up devices commonly available.

Solo Movie 2.1 can also provide a +12V trigger output to control devices such as

the power ampliﬁer in Zone 2. The +12V trigger is active when the unit is On or in

Clock mode.
