Professional Installation?
It may be that the Receiver has been installed and set up as part of your Hi-Fi installation by a qualied Arcam
dealer. In this case, you may wish to skip the sections of this handbook dealing with installation and setting up,
and move directly to the sections dealing with using the unit. Use the Contents list to guide you to these sections.
DIY setup?
e Receiver is a powerful and sophisticated piece of AV equipment. If you are setting the unit up yourself,
it is recommended that you read this handbook thoroughly before beginning. For instance, correct speaker
conguration and placement is a key to getting the most out of your Receiver and making sure that all the
elements of your system work in harmony.
E-5
before you
begin…
e Receivers are high-quality and high-performance
home-cinema processors and ampliers built to Arcam’s
quality design and manufacturing standards. ey
combine digital processing with high-performance
audio and video components to bring you an unrivalled
home-entertainment centre.
e Receiver allows switching and control of seven
analogue and six digital audio sources in addition to
internal FM and DAB radios – as well as networked
and USB audio sources – making any of the models 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 Receiverincludes
broadcast-quality switching for HDMI (6 x HDMI2.0a,
HDCP2.2 & 1 x MHL) video/audio signals. Control of
the Receiver is either by front panel control buttons, IR
remote control, IP (Ethernet) control or RS232 port.
e remote control supplied with the Receiver is a
multi-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.
e installation of the Receiver 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.
e Receiver designed to produce a level of
performance that will truly bring music and movies
to life.

E-6
Placing the unit
< Place the unit on a level, rm surface, avoiding
direct sunlight and sources of heat or damp.
< Do not place the Receiver on top of a power
amplier or other source of heat.
< Do not place the amplier in an enclosed space
such as a bookcase or closed cabinet unless there is
good provision for ventilation. e Receiver will run
warm during normal operation.
< Do not place any other component or item on top
of the amplier as this may obstruct airow around
the heat-sink, causing the amplier to run hot. (e
unit placed on top of the amplier would become
hot, too.)
< Make sure the remote-control receiver on the front
panel display is unobstructed, otherwise this will
impair the use of the remote-control. If line-of-sight
is impractical, a remote-control repeater can be used
with the rear panel connector (see page E-14).
< Do not place your record deck on top of this
unit. Record decks are very sensitive to the noise
generated by mains power supplies which will be
heard as a background ‘hum’ if the record deck is
too close.
Power
e amplier is supplied with a moulded mains plug
already tted to the lead. Check that the plug supplied
ts your supply – should you require a new mains lead,
please contact your Arcam dealer.
If your mains supply voltage or mains plug is dierent,
please contact your Arcam dealer immediately.
e Receiver can be switched for operation between
220–240V (switch position 230V) and 110–120V
(switch position 115V).
NOTE
Ensure that the Receiver is switched o and the
power lead removed before changing the position of
the voltage range switch.
Push the IEC plug end of the power cable into the
socket on the back of the amplier, making sure that it
is pushed in rmly. Plug the other end of the cable into
your mains socket and, if necessary, switch the socket
on.
e Receiver can be turned on using the POWER switch
on the front panel. While switched on, the front panel
LED will glow green.
Standby power
e Receiver can be switched into standby mode using
the 2 button on the remote control. While in standby
mode the front panel LED will glow red and power
consumption is less than 0.5Watts.
While in Standby mode, it may be possible to hear a
slight residual hum coming from the mains transformer
inside the amplier. is is perfectly normal. However,
if the unit is to be le unused for an extended period,
we recommend that you disconnect it from the mains
supply to save power.
Interconnect cables
We recommend the use of high-quality screened cables
that are designed for the particular application. Other
cables will have dierent impedance characteristics
that will degrade the performance of your system (for
example, do not use cabling intended for video use to
carry audio signals). All cables should be kept as short as
is practically possible.
It is good practice when connecting your equipment to
make sure that the mains power-supply cabling is kept
as far away as possible from your audio cables. Failure to
do so may result in unwanted noise in the audio signals.
For information on speaker cabling, please refer to the
‘Speakers’ section, beginning on page E-15.
Radio interference
e Receiver is an audio device containing
microprocessors and other digital electronics. Each
model has been designed to very high standards of
electromagnetic compatibility.
is is a Class A product. In a domestic environment
this product may cause radio interference, in which case
the user may be required to take adequate measures.
If the Receiver causes interference to radio or television
reception (which can be determined by switching the
Receiver o and on), the following measures should be
taken:
< Re-orient the receiving antenna or route the antenna
cable of the aected receiver as far as possible from
Receiver and its cabling.
< Relocate the receiver with respect to the Receiver.
< Connect the aected device and the Receiver to
dierent mains outlets.
If the problem persists, please contact your Arcam
dealer.

next few pages which will explain all the input and
output connectivity that is available. e ‘Speakers’
section explains how to connect up your speakers to
avoid damage to the amplier and how to arrange your
speakers for best performance.
General
e inputs are named to make it easier to reference
connected devices (e.g. ‘BD’ or ‘VCR’). ey all have the
same input circuit, so there is no reason why you should
not connect a dierent device to any of the inputs. For
example, if you had two BD players and the AV input
was not being used, then the second BD player could be
connected to the AV input.
When connecting a video source, its audio must be
connected to the corresponding sockets. For example,
if you had a satellite decoder plugged into a S AT video
input, the audio must be connected to the S AT audio
inputs!

e Receiver is tted with an FM and a DAB/DAB+
receiver module. e type of aerial you need depends on
your listening preferences and the local conditions.
Your Receiver is capable of superb radio reception, but
only if it is receiving a good quality transmission signal.
Try the aerials supplied with your unit. If you are in a
medium to strong signal area, these should be adequate
for good reception. In areas with poor signal strength,
you may require a roof or lo mounted aerial.
Contact your local Arcam dealer or aerial installation
experts for advice about local reception conditions.

English
ZONE 2 L
In strong signal areas, the DAB/FM ‘T’ wire aerial
supplied can be used with reasonable results. Mount the
aerial as high up as possible on a wall.
In the UK the ‘T’-elements need to be
positioned vertically for DAB reception
since broadcasts are vertically polarised.
In other localities, check with your
Arcam dealer or try both horizontal and
vertical positions for best reception.
Try each usable wall of the room to
see which gives best reception and
use tacks or adhesive tape to secure
the aerial in a ‘T’ shape, but note
that no tacks should come into contact
with the internal wire of the aerial.
When installed and receiving DAB/FM,
check the signal strength by pressing
the front panel or remote control’s INFO
button until the signal quality indicator
is displayed.
In weak signal areas, a high-gain, externallymounted or roof-mounted aerial is desirable in
order to receive the highest number of services.
In Band III transmission areas (such as the UK),
use a multi-element Yagi aerial with the elements
mounted vertically, as the transmissions are
vertically polarised. If you are close to more than one
transmitter, use an omnidirectional or folded dipole
aerial.
If the DAB services in your area are transmitted on
L-band, then ask your dealer for advice for the best
aerial to use.

circuit and damage your Receiver.
Do not over-tighten the loudspeaker terminals, or use a
wrench, pliers, etc., as this could damage the terminals
and this would not be covered under the product’s
warranty.
Speaker cables
e speakers should be connected to the amplier using
good-quality, high-purity, low impedance copper cables.
Cheap speaker cables should be avoided – they are a

Bi-amping the Front Left & Front Right speakers
Bi-amping is the use of two amplier channels per speaker. Bi-amping can
provide better sound quality than conventional single wiring. If you do not have
Surround Back speakers (i.e. you have a 5.1 surround system, not a 7.1 system)
then you can use the spare Surround Back speaker outputs to bi-amplify the

Speakers that support bi-amping have two sets of +/- terminals per speaker,
usually linked together by metal strips. ese metal strips MUST be removed
when bi-amping; failure to remove them will result in damage to the amplier
that is not covered under warranty.
To bi-amp the front le and right speakers, remove the metal strips from
the speaker terminals. Connect the woofer or LF terminals to the FL and FR
terminals on the Receiver. Connect the tweeter or HF terminals to the SBL and

The universal remote controller
e Receiver is supplied with a sophisticated ‘universal’
backlit remote control that can control up to eight
devices. It is pre-programmed for use with the Receiver
and many other Arcam products (FM/DAB tuners, CD
players and DVD players).
With its extensive built-in library of codes, it can also
be used with thousands of third party audio-visual
components – TVs, satellite and set-top boxes, PVRs,
CD players, etc. See the list of codes at the back of this
handbook, beginning on page 47.
It is also a ‘learning’ remote, so you can teach it almost
any function from an old single-device remote.

remote control
1. Open the battery compartment on the back of
the handset, by sliding its cover o.
2. Insert two ‘AAA’ batteries, as indicated in the
battery compartment.
3. Slide the battery compartment cover back rmly
into its locked position with a click.
Using the remote control
Please keep in mind the following when using the
remote control:
< Ensure there are no obstacles between the
remote control and the remote sensor on the
Receiver. e remote has a range of about 7
metres. (If the remote sensor is obscured, the Z1
IR remote control input jack on the rear panel is
available. Please consult your dealer for further
information.)
< Remote operation may become unreliable if
strong sunlight or uorescent light is shining on
the remote sensor of the Receiver.
< Replace the batteries when you notice a
reduction in the operating range of the remote
control.
Notes on batteries:
< Incorrect use of batteries can result in hazards such
as leakage and bursting.
< Do not mix old and new batteries together.
< Do not use non-identical batteries together –

may have dierent voltages.
< Ensure the plus (+) and minus (-) ends of each
battery match the direction indicated in the battery
compartment.
< Remove batteries from equipment that is not going
to be used for a month or more.
< When disposing of used batteries, please comply
with governmental or local regulations that apply in
your country or area.

Useful information
Backlight
A backlight comes on for eight seconds whenever a key
is pressed. is helps you use the handset in subdued
lighting conditions.
LED blinks
Short blinks indicate a valid key press.
Multiple short blinks convey information (such as a
device code) or signal the beginning and successful
completion of a programming sequence.
e symbol ‘*’ is used in the manual to indicate an
LED blink.
Timeouts and unassigned keys
Time out – Aer 30 seconds the remote exits the
programming state and returns to normal operation.
Stuck key timeout – Aer any key is pressed
continuously for 30 seconds, the remote stops sending
IR transmission to conserve battery life. e remote
remains o until all keys are released.
Unassigned keys – the remote ignores any unassigned
key presses for a particular Device Mode and does not
transmit IR.
Low voltage indicator
When the batteries are running down, the backlight
ashes briey whenever you press a button.
If this happens, t two new AAA alkaline batteries as
soon as possible.
Device Mode/Source keys
As the remote can control your Receiver as well as a
range of other equipment: many of the buttons have
more than one function depending on the ‘device mode’
selected on the remote control.
e Device Mode keys (shown below) select the source
on the Receiver. If one of these keys is pressed briey,
a command is transmitted to change the source on
the unit. Also the functionality of the remote control
changes to operate the selected source device; it’s like
having a bundle of dierent remotes in your hand!

Navigation keys
e Navigation keys steer the cursor in Setup
menus or on-screen menus. ey also replicate
the navigation functions of original remotes
supplied with other home entertainment
devices in your system. OK conrms a setting.
Volume control
By default, the remote is set up so that the volume
control and mute buttons always control the volume
of the Receiver, regardless of which Device Mode the
remote is currently set for. is is known as volume
‘punch through’.
For example, if you are listening to a CD, you will
probably have the remote in CD Device Mode to control
the CD player. You can use the volume controls on the
remote directly to adjust the volume of the Receiver
without rst having to press AMP to put the remote into
the CD Device Mode on the remote to the AMP Device
Mode.
Volume ‘punch through’ can be disabled individually for
any Device Mode if desired.
Customising the remote
e remote oers a Code Learning feature that allows
you to copy up to 16 functions from an original remote

essential
setup
Before you use your Receiver it is essential that you
enter some information into the Setup menus about
your speaker conguration. is allows the Receiver to
process any surround sound digital source to exactly
match your system and give you the ultimate surround
sound experience.
ere are three pieces of vital information which are
outlined in the sections: ‘Speaker Types’, ‘Speaker
Distances’ and ‘Speaker Levels’.
e way you enter this information manually into the
Receiver is given later in the ‘Setup Menus’ section
on page E-28. e settings can also be established
automatically using the Arcam Auto Speaker Setup
function. However it is important to understand why
these speaker settings must be entered, which is why this
section is presented rst.
Speaker types
You need to set the type of speakers that you have
connected to your Receiver:
Largecapable of full frequency range reproduction
Smallnot capable of full frequency range
reproduction at the low frequency end
Nonespeaker not present in your configuration
e terms ‘Large’ and ‘Small’ do not necessarily relate to
the physical size of your speakers. As a rule of thumb,
if a speaker cannot reproduce a at frequency response
down to about 40Hz (and very few can!) it is oen better
to consider them as ‘Small’ for setup purposes of home
cinema.
When a speaker is set to ‘Small’, very low frequency
sounds are redirected away from that speaker to a ‘Large’
speaker or a subwoofer, which are far better suited to
reproducing these low frequency sounds.
Note that it is not possible to set all speakers to
‘Small’ unless there is a subwoofer in your speaker
conguration. If you do not have a subwoofer, you will
be forced to set your front speakers to ‘Large’.
(Advanced users may wish to automatically override the
‘Small’ speaker setting for purely stereo music listening
when not watching movies. is can be achieved in the
‘Input Cong.’ menu – see page E-29.
Crossover frequency
If you have set any speakers as being Small, then you will
be required to set a value for the crossover frequency.
is is the frequency below which signals are ltered
away from these Small speakers and redirected to Large
speakers or the subwoofer (if present). A frequency of
80Hz is oen a good starting point, however you will
probably have to experiment with dierent values to nd
the best value for your system or consult your speaker
handbook.
Use Channels 6+7 for
If not used in the main zone, it is possible to assign the
Surround Back channels to Height 1, bi-amp the Front
Le/Right channels or to provide an amplied output
to Zone2.
Speaker Distances
It is essential for the distance from each speaker to the
listening position to be accurately measured and entered
into the ‘Setup’ menu. is ensures that the sounds from
the various speakers arrive at the listening position at
the correct time to recreate a realistic surround eect.
e distance can be entered in centimetres or inches.
Speaker Levels
Finally the levels of all the speakers in the system need
to be adjusted to match each other at the listening
position, again to create a proper surround eect. To
help with this the Receiver can generate a test noise for
each speaker which should be measured with a sound
pressure level (SPL) meter. e meter should be set to
‘C’ weighting and slow response. Several smartphone/
tablet apps are available which can also perfom this
function. e level of noise measured at the listening
position from each speaker should be adjusted on the
Speaker Trims page of the Setup menu so that the meter
reads 75dB SPL. It does not matter what the system
volume setting of the Receiver is before turning the test
noise on as the volume setting is over-ridden for the
duration of the speaker noise test.
ere are several basic SPL meters on the market at
reasonable prices aimed at home cinema enthusiasts.
Check your local technology store, search online or ask
your dealer.
If you do not have an SPL meter or suitable app, you
can try to adjust the noise level of each speaker by ear.
In this case it is not possible to adjust the speakers to
the absolute 75dB SPL volume level, but you should aim
for all speakers sounding equally loud. Setting speaker
test noise levels by ear is not recommended as it is very
dicult to do accurately, but is oen better than doing
nothing at all!
E-26
auto speaker
setup
Dirac Live for Arcam
ere is a proprietary automatic loudspeaker setup
function built into your Receiver from Dirac Reasearch.
Using a PC/MAC based application, this attempts to set
all the essential speaker settings for all the speakers in
your system. It also calculates room equalisation (Room
EQ) lter values to remove some of the worst eects of
resonant frequencies in the listening room.
Your Receiver package is supplied with a calibration
microphone, which should be inserted into the
microphone input of the supplied USB sound card and
then into a USB socket on a PC or MAC connected
to the same network as the Receiver and positioned
as directed by the Dirac Live for Arcam PC/MAC
application. is microphone picks up the special
calibration tones generated by the speakers when Dirac
Live for Arcam application is run. e Receiver then
analyses the signal and computes:
< speaker type,
< speaker distance,
< speaker level,
< problem resonant frequencies in the room which
need control by ltering.
To help the system be as accurate as possible when
performing Dirac Live for Arcam setup, there are a few
guidance rules that should be followed:
< Minimise any background sounds in the listening
room and other nearby rooms.
< Close all windows and doors in the listening room.
< Turn o all fans including air-conditioning systems.
< Mounting the microphone on a tripod or similar.
< Position the set up microphone pointing upwards at
roughly head height in the normal listening position.
It is not necessary to point the microphone directly
at the speaker generating the test tone. (It helps if
you are able to position the microphone exactly
where your head would normally be for listening,
with the microphone in direct unobstructed view of
all speakers.)
< If your system includes an active subwoofer, start
by setting its output level / gain control to a value
roughly matching the front speakers.
When activated, a calibration tone is played through
each channel of the Receiver in turn, including the
subwoofer channel. e calibration tone cycles round
each of the speakers multiple times as the dierent
parameters are calculated. If you do not have a full
7.1 speaker (on the “oor”) conguration there will
be periods of silence between some speaker channels.
Follow the ‘progress’ information on your PC/MAC.
By default, Room EQ is not applied to any of the
source inputs. You should enable Room EQ on inputs
you think benet from this feature, as required, by
listening when playing typical source material through
each input. Aer being calculated, this is enabled from
within the Input Cong menu.
While room equalisation can help to reduce problems
with listening room acoustics, it is usually far better
to try to solve these problems with the room directly.
Proper loudspeaker positioning, acoustic wall
treatments and moving the listening position away from
walls should produce far better results overall. However
it may be dicult to do this in a home environment, so
Room EQ is your next best choice.
Problems
We advise you to look over the reported measurements
on the screen following Auto Speaker Setup for any
obviously incorrect results, in particular to ensure the
reported speakers match your conguration and that the
speaker distances to the listening position appear look
roughly correct. If the results are not what you expected
re-run Auto Speaker Setup.
e Auto Speaker Setup function is normally quite
accurate but occasionally false results can be generated.
Problems may be as a result of:
< external sounds or rumbling/handling noises picked
up by the microphone
< sound reections o hard surfaces (e.g. windows or
walls) close to the listening position,
< very strong acoustic resonances within the room,
< obstacles (such as a sofa) between speakers and the
microphone.
If you are still experiencing diculties or you wish to
have the most accurate results for ultimate surround
performance, we recommend using the manual method
of establishing speaker distances and levels.
Using subwoofers
If your system includes one or two active subwoofers
you may need to set the subwoofer output level/gain
control set to a higher or lower value.
Please refer to the Dirac application and quick start
guide for full details of how to use the system with your
Receiver.
