The AVR500/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 AVR500/AVR600/AV888 allow switching and control of eight analogue and seven digital sources. The AVR500 and AVR600 have internal AM, FM and DAB* radio and the AVR600 can accept a SiriusConnect™ Home Tuner input. The AVR600, AV888 and optionally the AVR500* can accept networked and USB audio sources – making it an ideal hub for both home-cinema and two-channel stereo systems.

*DAB and network/USB connectivity are optional for the AVR500, please contact your dealer for information.

Since many of these source components are also capable of generating video signals, the AVR500/ 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 (AVR600/AV888 only). DVD- Audio and SACD can be connected via the multichannel input. Control of the AVR500, 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 AVR500, 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.

The AVR500/AVR600 surround amplifier and AV888 AV processor are designed to produce a level of performance that will truly bring music and movies to life.
