Essential Setup Before you use your Receiver it is essential that you enter some information into the Setup menus about your speaker configuration. This allows the Receiver to process any surround sound digital source to exactly match your system and give you the ultimate surround sound experience. There are three pieces of vital information which are outlined in the sections: ‘Speaker Types’, ‘Speaker Distances’ and ‘Speaker Levels’.
Auto Speaker Setup Dirac Live for Arcam There is a proprietary automatic loudspeaker calibration function built into your Receiver from Dirac Reasearch. Using a PC/MAC based application, this attempts to set the essential speaker settings for all the speakers in your system. It also calculates room equalisation (Room EQ) filter values to remove some of the worst effects of resonant frequencies in the listening room.
Setup Menus The Setup menus allow you to configure all aspects of your Receiver. The next few pages will go through the menu items and explain their function. The Setup menus will probably look quite daunting if you are new to setting up home cinema, but the majority of them need only be configured once when you first install the system (or if your system changes or you move house!) Entering Setup mode To enter the setup menu, press the button on the remote control or font panel.
EN Input Config. The audio and video settings on this page of the Setup menu can be tailored specifically and independently for the currently selected input. When a different input is selected on the Input line, all the input-specific settings for that input are displayed below it. These settings are applied to the named Input only and are stored in memory and recalled each time the unit is powered up and whenever that input is selected.
Small: Adjusts the upmixer for a small-sized room. Medium: (default) Adjusts the upmixer for a medium-sized room Large: Adjusts the upmixer for a large-sized room. Movie: Adjusts the upmixer for film material. Speech: Adjusts the upmixer to focus on speech intelligibility. Auro-matic 3D Strength – Adjusts the amount of unprocessed to processed signal when using the Auro-Matic 3D upmixer. Audio Source – Selects the particular connection type for each input.
EN Video Inputs Surr. Right – Front Left – Surr. Back Right – Centre – Surr. Back Left – Front Right – Surr. Left – Surr. Right – Left Top Front – Surr. Back Right – Right Top Front – Surr. Back Left – Left Top Back – Surr.
Connecting to a Network Network The Receiver is fitted with a network audio client which is capable of AirPlay 2 and Chromecast built-in as well as stored music on a network storage device such as a PC, or on NAS drive. The wireless network is configured using the Apple AirPlay setup or the Google Home app. SSID – (Information only) Displays the SSID the receiver is currently connected to, “wired” if a wired connection is used, or “not connected” if no connection is present.
Decoding Modes EN Introduction Stereo – Auro-matic 3D Your Receiver receiver provides all the key decoding and processing modes for analogue and digital signals, including the latest high definition audio formats over HDMI. 16 Channel Stereo – Dolby Surround – Modes for digital sources DTS Neural:X - Auro-matic 3D creates an immersive audio experience by creating additonal channels from the incoming audio to match the available output channels, enhancing the listening expereince.
High resolution audio sources For Dolby Digital sources Dolby Atmos Dolby Atmos content is mixed as audio objects instead of traditional channels, so can take full advantage of the number and placement of your speakers. Dolby Digital 5.1 Dolby Digital 5.1 sources deliver sound with five discrete full-range channels; left, centre, right, surround left, surround right, plus LFE channel. Dolby TrueHD Provides up to 7.
Tuner Operation The Receiver is fitted with an FM/DAB/DAB+ (digital radio) tuner. DAB broadcasts are not available in all locations. This section deals with tuner operation, for information on setting up the tuner and installing aerials, see page EN-13. When a tuner input is selected, the OSD shows a list of radio presets plus an information panel giving all available information about the current frequency (for FM) or station (for DAB).
Troubleshooting Problem There are no lights on the unit Check the following Problem The power cord is plugged into the receiver and the mains socket it is plugged into is switched on. Sound only comes from some of the speakers The power button is pressed in. If a red led is present, the receiver is in standby mode. Press any button on the front panel or the standby button on the remote control.
EN Problem There is radio or television reception interference Check the following Where the interference is coming from. Switch off each source component in turn, then any other equipment. Most electronic equipment does generate low levels of interference. Try re-arranging cabling from the nuisance source away from other cabling. Ensure that the cabling used is high quality, specified for its purpose, and is properly screened. If the problem persists, contact your dealer.

AV RC5 command codes These codes are recognised as infra-red signals received by the front panel, RC5 electrical signals received by the remote in jacks and as control data using the ‘Simulate RC5 IR Command’ (0x 08). Basic Functions These RC5 codes are present on the supplied IR remote control and provide control over basic amplifier and video processing functions.
Advanced Functions These RC5 codes are not present on the supplied remote control but have been created for custom install use. In order for the AVR to respond to these codes they must be transmitted from a programmable IR remote control or over the control link using the ‘Simulate RC5 IR Command’ (0x08).
