e AV950/AVR750/450/380 receivers are designed

to produce a level of performance that will truly bring

music and movies to life.

e AV950, AVR380, AVR450 and AVR750 are

high-quality and high-performance home-cinema

processors and ampliers 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 AV950/AVR750/450/380 allows switching and

control of seven analogue and six digital audio sources

in addition to internal FM (and, in the case of the

AVR450, AVR750 and AV950, DAB) radio – 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 AV950/AVR750/450/380

includes broadcast-quality switching for HDMI,

Composite and Component video signals. Control of the

AV950/AVR750/450/380 is either by front panel control

buttons, IR remote control or RS232 port.

e CR450 remote control supplied with the AV950/

AVR750/450/380 is a twelve-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 AV950/AVR750/450/380 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.

Placing the unit

< Place the unit on a level, rm surface, avoiding

direct sunlight and sources of heat or damp.

< Do not place the AV950/AVR750/450/380 on top of

a power amplier or other source of heat.

< Do not place the amplier in an enclosed space

such as a bookcase or closed cabinet unless there

is good provision for ventilation. e AV950/

AVR750/450/380 will run warm during normal

operation.

< Do not place any other component or item on top of

theamplierasthismayobstructairowaroundthe

heat-sink, causing the amplier to run hot. (e unit

placed on top of the amplier 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 amplier 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 dierent,

please contact your Arcam dealer immediately.

e AV950/AVR750/450 can be switched for operation

between 220–240V (switch position 230V) and

110–120V (switch position 115V).

NOTE

Ensure that the AV950/AVR750/450 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 amplier, 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 AV950/AVR750/450/380 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 AV950/AVR750/450/380 can be switched into

standby mode using the

button on the CR450

remote control. While in standby mode the front panel

LED will glow red and power consumption is less than

0.5 Watts.

While in Standby mode, it may be possible to hear a

slight residual hum coming from the mains transformer

inside the amplier. 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 dierent 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 AV950/AVR750/450/380 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 AV950/AVR750/450/380 causes interference to

radio or television reception (which can be determined

by switching the AV950/AVR750/450/380 o and on),

the following measures should be taken:

< Re-orient the receiving antenna or route the antenna

cable of the aected receiver as far as possible from

AV950/AVR750/450/380 and its cabling.

< Relocate the receiver with respect to the AV950/

AVR750/450/380.

< Connect the aected device and the AV950/

AVR750/450/380 to dierent mains outlets.

If the problem persists, please contact your Arcam

dealer.
