Few companies can claim the heritage of Arcam. This British AV manufacturer not only creates great sounding kit, but serves it up in eye-popping designs too. The brand new FMJ AVR600 is no exception. Tired of stale AV designs, Arcam’s ditched the knobs for a minimalist look.
Up front there’s a sleek, yet sparse design, while inside it’s all business. We’re talking 7.1 surround sound, DAB and FM tuners, iPod and MP3 compatibility, optional networking for internet radio and streamed music from home computers, as well as five HDMI inputs, and two outputs for all your home cinema kit.
The receiver will even upscale standard definition video signals to give a near-HD result, and there’s new Dolby Volume technology inside too, to smooth out level jumps between TV shows and adverts.
