  • Only a true high fidelity home cinema system will be

    good enough to produce a sound that captivates and

    compels you to listen and brings the world of music

    into your life. In our experience very few DVD players

    and AV receivers reach this standard. The best

    cinema systems need to sensitively and accurately

    reproduce the full range of sound, from the scale of

    an orchestra in full flight to the gentlest

    whisper of dialogue: Arcams home

    cinema achieves this for you.

    AVR350 RECEIVER and the DV137 DVD PLAYER

    The best performance is only truly achieved if

    it is delivered by professional retailers/installers

    who have the skills and training to properly set

    up and calibrate your system. This ensures the

    total experience that the system delivers brings

    the magic of movies and music in your home.

    Arcam has a worldwide network of specialists

    who are totally committed to working with us

    to deliver the best possible performance and

    offer you solutions that will give you years of

    musical enjoyment and total satisfaction.

    They are passionate about what they do, and

    they select the best specialist loudspeaker

    systems and display devices as well as any

    interconnections to complement your DiVA

    combination perfectly.

    hi -f i news

    The AVP700 has been designed forhome cinema enthusiasts who insiston products that deliver superlativeperformance on both movies andmusic. The DiVA AVP700 builds onArcams impressive history as a

    leader in high performance AV products and together with its natural partner,the DiVA P1000 power amplifier, forms the heart of a truly spectacular multi-channel sound system.

    DiVA HOME CINEMA AMPLIFIERS

  • 7P1000 POWER AMPLIFER

    The P1000 7-channel power amplifier is rated at over 135

    watts per channel. It uses an innovative class H amplifier

    topology that offers high current capability with cool

    running operation.

    As you would expect from Arcams audiophile heritage,

    great emphasis has been put on achieving a level of sound

    quality that is clearly better than the competition.

    The P1000 and the AVP700 represent a home cinema

    combination that convincingly brings music and movies to

    life, building on the reputation Arcam has for producing

    products that set the standard.

    Multi-channelAlthough stereo systems (two speakersgiving the possibility of left to rightstaging) have been around for someyears, multi-channel systems are amore recent development. Originallyjust for full size cinemas, multi-channel systems set out to create awrap-around sound stage allowingsounds to move both left to right andfront to back. Home cinema receiversand processors decode signals fromvarious sources and then feed six oreven eight speakers with theappropriate sounds to create theseeffects.

    Speaker positioningUnlike stereo, multi-channel surroundsound is mixed for a known listeningenvironmentthe cinema! This meansfor the best results in the home all we

    need to do is replicate the correctspeaker positions according to therules set down by the recordingindustry. Arcams award-winningtraining program gives its dealers theseskills and they are best placed to adviseon speaker positioning for your room.

    Universal playbackIn recent years a multitude of discformats have arrived and are nowavailable on DVD players. Theseformats have a variety of advantagesand cover both music and movieplayback. The term Universal hasbeen loosely adopted in recent times toindicate that a player is compatiblewith all common formats. These aregenerally understood to be: DVD-Video, CD, DVD-Audio, SACD, VCDand S-VCD. Although at Arcam webelieve that performance for DVD

    video and CD discs is of primeimportance, our models have a varietyof disc playback possibilities and nowincludes Universal playback on theDV137

    Low Frequency EffectsThrilling movie playback demandsmuch of an audio system. One of themost difficult things to achieve is deepand controlled bass. The explosions,bangs and crashes that litter todaystypical action movies are a goodexample. With this in mind, digitalsurround sound often carries adedicated track for these called a Point1 or Low Frequency Effects (LFE)channel. In systems with a dedicatedsub woofer, the bass portion of theseeffects is only replayed by the sub-woofer itself, which is designed tohandle these types of signal.

    Video scalingAlthough video pictures are made upof a fixed number of horizontal lines(for example 576 for PAL in Europe,480 for NTSC in North America),most digital displays (Plasma, LCD,DLP, etc.) use a larger number of linesto fill the screen. Because of thisincompatibility, Video scaling devicesthat mathematically work out how thepicture should look on this largernumber of pixels are required. Fittedinside the screen, the quality of suchdevices varies widely. The DV137incorporates ultra-high performancevideo scaling devices fitted to take overfrom those fitted in the screenresulting in a vastly better picture.

    Power (Watts Per Channel WPC)

    Loudspeakers require high levels ofelectrical power to generate sound.Although in general the more poweran amplifier has, the better, allamplifiers are not created equally.While an amplifier with a largerpower supply will tend to control aloudspeaker more efficiently, it mustalso have other attributes such as lowdistortion and low noise floor tosound good.

    CablesBecause systems can vary widely interms of quality and installation, thereare few standards for interconnectioncables. Cables can affect the soundquality quite considerably and shouldbe considered as much part of thesystem as other components. When

    buying, seek your dealers advice andlisten to them as much as any othercomponent. Cable length should bekept to a minimum, and try to avoidcoiling any long interconnect.

    SpeakersYour dealer can recommend anddemonstrate the loudspeakers thatwould most perfectly complementArcam products. Speakers from mostprestigious manufacturers work well,but speaker positioning needs to beconsidered carefully. A smalladjustment to position can make ahuge difference in the resultingsound. Again, consult your dealer forpositioning advice.

    Bi-ampingBi-amping simply means driving thetweeter (high frequency) and woofer

    (low frequency) drivers in yourspeakers separately. This is achievedby adding a stereo power amplifier toyour system connected to the originalamplifiers pre-amp output. Byrunning a second set of speaker cablesto your speakers and removing yourspeakers bi-wire links, a huge soundquality improvement will be heard.

    DAB (Aerials)Your digital radio hi-fi tuner willcome with an indoor aerial, whichshould work well if youre well withina DAB coverage area. However, ifyoure listening in a basement, oryour building is steel-framed, orreinforced concrete, you might needan external aerial. To obtain the bestresults from an external aerial, eitheruse a dipole or, in exceptionalcircumstances, a Yaggi.

    All DAB aerials must be verticallypolarised. The higher the aerial ismounted, the better reception you willreceive. Visitwww.digitalradionow.com for furtherinformation and to check DABcoverage for your area.
