Front input connections
The front panel Video 3/MP3 input is for temporary connections to audio
player etc. Remove the cap to access the Video 3 inputs and connect to a
audio player's outputs using stereo phono cables (RCA-RCA). Alternatively,
use the 3.5mm mini-jack MP3 socket for the headphone/line outputs of
portable MP3 players.

When pressing Video 3/MP3, the 551R V2 automatically selects the MP3
socket if there is a device plugged into it.
Note
: The Auto Setup input is used for the supplied auto setup microphone.
Refer to the 'Auto setup' section of this manual for more information.
Aerial connections
FM aerial
Connect an aerial to the FM 75 ohm socket (a simple wire aerial is supplied
only for temporary use). Extend the lead and move the aerial around until you
get the best reception. For continued use, we strongly recommended using
a 75ohm outdoor FM aerial.
AM loop aerial
Connect each end of the single length antenna to the antenna terminals.
Place the antenna as far from the main system as possible to prevent
unwanted noise and to obtain optimum reception. If the AM loop aerial
provided does not receive sufficient reception, it may be necessary to use
an outdoor AM aerial.

551R V2 setup
The setup of the 551R V2 is a reasonably simple 4 stage process. The
speaker setup process (stage 2.) can either be performed manually or via the
CAMCAS (Cambridge Audio Microphone Controlled Auto Setup) procedure.
The procedure is as follows:
1. Speaker configuration.
2. Speaker setup (Speaker delay and Level calibration)
3. Assigning HDMI and Analogue video inputs
4. Source setup
1. Speaker configuration
First tell the unit what kind of speaker package you have. The options are
5.1 or 7.1 as shown below. The 551R V2 can support up to a 7.1 speaker
setup which means 7 speakers (Front Left, Front Right, Centre, Surround
Left, Surround Right, Surround Back Left, Back Right) plus a mains powered
Subwoofer (the .1).
Refer to the diagrams below for typical examples of 5.1 and 7.1 loudspeaker
setups. Always adjust the speaker and listening positions until you are happy
with the sound. Please refer to your loudspeaker and subwoofer manuals for
more detailed positioning information.

Front Left and Right speakers
For stereo and multi-channel sound.
2
Centre speaker
For dialogue and centre sounds. Ideally position at a similar height to the
front left and right speakers (above or below the TV/monitor). Using a centre
speaker from the same manufacturer/range as used for the front left and
right speakers is advisable. This "timbre matching" allows surround effects
to flow more naturally from left to right without obvious transitions between
the speakers.
3
Surround Left and Right speakers
For ambient and multi-channel sound. Floorstanding speakers should be
angled towards the listening position. Bookshelf/standmount speakers should
be wall mounted or used with dedicated speaker stands, positioned at or
above ear height.
