Hello all, Saw a post awhile back, not sure if in owners or firmware thread regarding the 600 cutting out at volume. Turn up the volume to ~57-60 level and FAULT in large font appears on the lcd display, volume cuts out, drop volume and sound returns though Fault usually remains displayed. Only thus far occurred with music playback either optical/HDMI from Appletv, also from coaxial from Arcam dvd79. Music level not that high to my ears (appreciate numeric figure is not an absolute measure so to speak), played through b-iamped Mission E83 Elegantes. Dealer spoke to Arcam and advised (for music playback) set the fronts to small and use subwoofer, seems to defeat object of large floorstanders.


Perservered, but the clan diaspora returned from the travels and while impressed with sound quality were less so with volume. Phone Arcam direct who stated maybe I ought to have at a system for music, the 600 being more geared to movies?! Also felt I was perhaps being optimistic in using 600 to bi-amp the elegantes. Not sure about that, always got reasonable volume from my old avr 300. Anyhow, they've offered to take unit back via dealer and bench test to see if it is performing within specification - a real pain if out of commission for a month or so.

Seem to recall there is an option to set the speaker impedance to 4 ohms - would that be of any help? A bit unsure if this is a fault or something I have to live with; the unit is will ventilated and not hot when this happens. Suppose just conceivable a speaker problem, but would't just a left or right cut out then?

I trawled back and forth but can't find the original post - anyone any thoughts.

Anyone think that this model, good conditon (in black) with original box and remote will make a worthwhile amount more than the repair cost? ]]> boronet http://www.avforums.com/forums/arcam-owners-forum/1129553-cd73t.html http://www.avforums.com/forums/arcam-owners-forum/1129305-transporter-av9-p7.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 21:03:53 GMT I am the happy owner of an Arcam av9 which I am thinking about feeding with a Logitech transporter.

How should I connect the transporter to the av9 to get the best sound. should I use the optical connection and let the av9 do the digital to analog conversion or should I analog output from the transporter and let it do the conversion?

I'am interesting to understand if the new Arcam CD37 have the bass more strong of the previous model CD36.

Someone have listen both ??

I read some reviews that say that the CD36 don't have a good deep bass as other CD players.

Is the price difference justifiable? Spoke to a chap at Sevenoaks Brighton and he said it's approx 10% better as the AV9 is very good. Would love to dem it at home but that's not possible so curious to see what others think. Seen the AV888 for £3,833.00:

I would like to cover the remote sensor on my AVR300 with black tape so it can't be operated with my CR102.
I thought possibly the little light next to the power button may have been it but alas no.
I'm guessing it is under the display panel somewhere so maybe can't be covered.
Is there another way to do it if so?
There is mention of the sensor in the manual but no mention of where it is on the front panel.

It also stated that while these terms may seem like "sales babble" there is something to this "Mask of Silence thing." I am sure that both the AV888 and the AVP 600 employ these technologies. However, I wonder why they (Arcam) don't mention them? My personal opinion is that they are not mentioned because it gives the same sonic benefits as the AV9 making these units only comparable and not better than the AV9's analog section.

Since upgrading my TV I've been revisiting the idea of outputing SD interlaced from my DV139 and using the scaler / de-interlacer in my Denon amp. But, I'm still suffering with the 'stripy' image reported in several older threads. I think someone on here described it as 'flipped field'.

I've tried both V4.12 and V5.06 firmware and fail to get a sensible picture on either my Panasonic 42PV500 or my Pioneer LX5090 when selecting SD interlaced output via HDMI.

Has anyone anyone ever made any sense of this and got it working?

Just looking for some advice really. We have an old FMJ setup which we're not really utillising to its potential. We originally got it to play CDs and DVDs with the bias being CD audio quality. Our front speakers are RUAKR Prologue floorstanders. Now we have children, we hardly ever use the system to listen to music with our children watching DVDs and SKY.

I'm thinking of updating our Loewe Aconda to a panny plasma and a new AV receiver possibly a Denon and matching Blue ray. Whilst I'd like to keep my FMJ stuff, I think we won't use it.

Does anybody have any ideas what I should sell it for and where the best place is to sell. I have asked some AV dealers and they're not interested at all. I have all boxes and manuals etc. ]]> GregHill3 http://www.avforums.com/forums/arcam-owners-forum/1125574-thinking-parting-my-fmj-kit.html http://www.avforums.com/forums/arcam-owners-forum/1125358-avr280-blown-centre-channel.html Sun, 15 Nov 2009 12:53:16 GMT Up until recently my AVR280 was working fine.

There is a faint hissing coming from the centre speaker when I check it with the test tone.

I've swapped the speaker over to check it wasn't that, exactly the same.

I've gone through all the settings in case I inadvertently changed something, but they all seem ok.

Any ideas people?

The sound on my AVR250 keeps going distorted on surround sound using any method of input, it goes if I turn it off for a while.

Anything I can do or is it time to replace?
I'd love to fix it as it meets my current needs and don't want to spend lots of money on something that does not get lots of use.
