For information display we recommend you use the

OSD (On-Screen Display) on your display device

whenever possible.

Switching on

Press the front panel power button in. e power LED

will glow orange, the front display shows the word

‘ARCAM’, followed by the volume setting and the name of

the selected input. Aer initialization is complete, the

power LED changes colour to green.

Please wait until the unit has nished initialising before

operating the unit. It is recommended that if the unit is

switched o, you should wait at least 10 seconds before

switching the unit back on.

Standby

e unit has a standby mode which can be entered

by pressing STANDBY on the remote control. When in

standby mode, the display is blank and the POWER LED

glows red.

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.

To switch on from standby

Press the STANDBY button on the remote control or any

key on the front panel (other than the power button).

example screen above shows that only Z1 (i.e. Zone1) is

active. e current volume setting (70.0dB in the above

example) is also displayed.

is source is not available on the AVR500.

is source is optional on the AVR500. Contact your

dealer for upgrade information.

ese sources are market dependent and may not be

available on your unit.

Upon selecting a source, the unit will normally select an

active digital input in preference to an analogue input.

If you want to override the digital input and select the

analogue input, set the Audio Source to Analogue in the

Input Cong. menu (see page ). Some inputs (

AM/FM,

PHONO, MCH, SIRIUS, IPOD) do not have a digital input.

e processing mode and Stereo Direct functions are

remembered and recalled for each individual input.

e

MCH input is intended for direct analogue pass-

through of DVD Audio or SACD sources. Apart from

volume control and level trim, no processing modes

are possible on this input, including bass management

and delays. Please set bass management, speaker size

and speaker delays in the source player. You can copy

the distances and relative speaker levels from the Setup

menus in the AVR500, AVR600 or AV888.

Tape operation (AVR600/AV888 only)

ree analogue audio outputs are provided for

recording, VCR, PVR and TAPE OUT. e selected analogue

input are routed to each of these outputs.

If the VCR input is selected, the

VCR OUT output

is muted to prevent feedback loops in recording

equipment. Similarly the PVR OUT and TAPE OUT outputs

are muted when their respective inputs are selected to

prevent feedback.

VCR operation (AVR600/AV888 only)

Two outputs are provided for recording (Composite

and S-Video only), VCR and PVR OUT. e selected video

input is routed to each of these outputs.

Stereo Direct

To listen to a pure analogue stereo input, press the

DIRECT button. e Stereo Direct mode automatically

bypasses all processing and any surround functions. In

direct mode, digital processing is shut down to improve

the sound quality and reduces digital noise with the unit

to an absolute minimum.

Note: when Stereo Direct mode is selected, no

digital output is available and no bass management

is performed, meaning that bass signals will not be

redirected to a subwoofer.

Volume control

It is important to realise that the level of the volume

indicator is not an accurate indication of the power

delivered to your loudspeakers. e amplier oen

delivers its full output power long before the volume

control reaches its maximum position, particularly when

listening to heavily recorded music. In comparison,

some movie sound tracks can appear very quiet, as

many directors like to keep maximum levels in reserve

for special eect sequences.
