Arcam AVR Surround Amplifer AV888 - Manual (Page 6)

E-4
The AVR600 surround amplifier and AV888 AV
processor are both designed to produce a level of
performance that will truly bring music and movies
to life.
The AVR600 is a high-quality and high-performance
home-cinema processor and amplifier built to Arcam’s
quality design and manufacturing standards. The closely
related AV888 is a home-cinema processor which
provides multichannel input to an external amplifier
(such as Arcam’s P777). They both combine digital
processing with high-performance audio and video
components to form the locus of an unrivalled home-
entertainment centre.
The AVR600 allows switching and control of eight
analogue and seven digital sources in addition to
internal AM, FM and DAB radio or a SiriusConnect™
Home Tuner input – as well as networked and USB
audio sources – making it an ideal hub for both home-
cinema and two-channel stereo systems.
Since many of these source components are also capable
of generating video signals, both the AVR600 receiver
and the AV888 processor units include broadcast-
quality switching for HDMI, Composite, S-Video, RGB
and Component video signals. There are audio and
video outputs for PVR and VCR recording, as well as
two digital outputs for digital recording of digitised
audio sources. DVD-Audio and SACD can be connected
via the multichannel input. Control of the AVR600 or
the AV888 is either by front panel control buttons, IR
remote control or RS232 port.
The CR102 remote control supplied with either unit
is an eight-device ‘universal’ learning remote control
which is simple to use, and once set up is able to control
a complete system. It can be programmed using its vast
internal code library to control CD and DVD players,
PVRs, TVs and other devices.
The installation of the AVR600 or AV888 in a listening
room is an important process which requires care at
every stage. For this reason, the installation information
is very comprehensive and should be followed carefully
to achieve an unrivalled level of performance.
