Safety guidelines

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove cover

(or back). No user serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified

service personnel.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose

this apparatus to rain or moisture.

The lightning flash with an arrowhead symbol within an equilateral

triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated

‘dangerous voltage’ within the product’s enclosure that may be of

sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert

the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance

(servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the product.

CAUTION: In Canada and the USA, to prevent electric shock, match

the wide blade of the plug to the wide slot in the socket and insert the

plug fully into the socket.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

This product is designed and manufactured to meet strict quality

and safety standards. However, you should be aware of the following

installation and operation precautions:

1. Take heed of warnings and instructions

You should read all the safety and operating instructions before

operating this appliance. Retain this handbook for future reference and

adhere to all warnings in the handbook or on the appliance.

2. Water and moisture

The presence of electricity near water can be dangerous. Do not use

the appliance near water – for example next to a bathtub, washbowl,

kitchen sink, in a wet basement or near a swimming pool, etc.

3. Object or liquid entry

Take care that objects do not fall and liquids are not spilled into the

enclosure through any openings. Liquid filled objects such as vases

should not be placed on the equipment.

4. Ventilation

Do not place the equipment on a bed, sofa, rug or similar soft surface, or

in an enclosed bookcase or cabinet, since ventilation may be impeded.

We recommend a minimum distance of 50mm (2 inches) around the

sides and top of the appliance to provide adequate ventilation.

5. Heat

Locate the appliance away from naked flames or heat producing

equipment such as radiators, stoves or other appliances (including

other amplifiers) that produce heat.

6. Climate

The appliance has been designed for use in moderate climates.

7. Racks and stands

Only use a rack or stand that is recommended for use with audio

equipment. If the equipment is on a portable rack it should be moved

with great care, to avoid overturning the combination.

8. Cleaning

Unplug the unit from the mains supply before cleaning.

The case should normally only require a wipe with a soft, damp, lint-

free cloth. Do not use paint thinners or other chemical solvents for

cleaning.

We do not advise the use of furniture cleaning sprays or polishes as

they can cause indelible white marks if the unit is subsequently wiped

with a damp cloth.

9. Power sources

Only connect the appliance to a power supply of the type described in

the operating instructions or as marked on the appliance.

10. Power-cord protection

Power supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be

walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying

particular attention to cords and plugs, and the point where they exit

from the appliance.

11. Grounding

Ensure that the grounding means of the appliance is not defeated.

12. Power lines

Locate any outdoor antenna/aerial away from power lines.

13. Non-use periods

If the unit has a standby function, a small amount of current will continue

to flow into the equipment in this mode. Unplug the power cord of the

appliance from the outlet if left unused for a long period of time.

14. Abnormal smell

If an abnormal smell or smoke is detected from the appliance, turn

the power off immediately and unplug the unit from the wall outlet.

Contact your dealer immediately.

15. Servicing

You should not attempt to service the appliance beyond that described

in this handbook. All other servicing should be referred to qualified

service personnel.

16. Damage requiring service

The appliance should be serviced by qualified service personnel when:

A. the power-supply cord or the plug has been damaged, or

B. objects have fallen, or liquid has spilled into the appliance, or

C. the appliance has been exposed to rain, or

D. the appliance does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a

marked change in performance, or

E. the appliance has been dropped or the enclosure damaged.

SAFETY COMPLIANCE

This product has been designed to meet the IEC 60065 international

electrical safety standard.

Welcome to the AV8 Preamp Processor

USING THIS HANDBOOK

Thank you for purchasing the Arcam FMJ AV8 Preamp Processor.

This handbook has been designed to give you all the information you

need to install, connect, set up and use the Arcam FMJ AV8 Preamp

Processor. The remote control handset supplied with the equipment

is also described.

It may be that the AV8 has been installed and set up as part of your

Hi-Fi installation by a qualified Arcam dealer. In this case, you may wish

to skip the sections of this handbook dealing with installation and

setting up the unit. Use the Contents list to guide you to the relevant

sections.

SAFETY

Safety guidelines are set out on page two of this handbook.

Many of these items are common sense precautions, but for your own

safety, and to ensure that you do not damage the unit, we strongly

recommend that you read them. This is a class 1 product and requires

an earth connection.

INTRODUCTION

The AV8 is a high quality and high performance home cinema

processor and audio pre-amplifier built to Arcam’s traditional high

quality design and manufacturing standards. It combines high resolution

digital processing with high performance audio and video components

to bring you an unrivalled home entertainment centre.

The AV8 allows quality switching and volume control of eight analogue

and seven digital sources making it an ideal companion for both home

cinema and two-channel stereo systems. Since many of these source

components are also capable of outputting high quality video signals,

the AV8 includes broadcast quality video switching for composite, S-

video, component and RGB video signals. There are inputs and outputs

for both tape and VCR, as well as a digital output. DVD-Audio and

SACD can be connected via the multichannel input. Control of the AV8

is either by front panel control buttons, IR remote control or an RS232

port (which can be used to upload future software enhancements).

On the back panel there are trigger outputs for easy connection to

associated equipment. The AV8 can easily be integrated with various

types of power amplifiers and loudspeakers, including those that are

THX certified. The AV8 is itself THX certified, meaning it has passed

the rigorous THX Ultra2 specification enabling it to reproduce THX

Surround EX signals from Dolby Digital soundtracks.

The customised installation of the AV8 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.

The AV8 has a universal input power supply that is compatible with

mains voltages between 85V AC and 265V AC, 50Hz to 60Hz.
