The AVR360 is a high-quality and high-performance home-cinema processor and amplifier built to Arcam’s quality design and manufacturing standards. It combines digital processing with high-performance audio and video components to bring you an unrivalled home-entertainment centre.

The AVR360 allows switching and control of seven analogue and six digital audio sources in addition to internal AM, FM and DAB radio – 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, the AVR360 includes broadcast-quality switching for HDMI, Composite, S-Video, RgB and Component video signals. BD-Audio and SACD can be connected via the multi-channel

input. Control of the AVR360 is either by front panel control buttons, IR remote control or RS232 port.

The CR102 remote control supplied with the AVR360 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 BD players, PVRs, TVs and other devices.

The installation of the AVR360 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.

The AVR360 receiver is designed to produce a level of performance that will truly bring music and movies to life.
