The chassis is made from a laminated, anti-
vibration material called Sontech. (This material
is used extensively in high-performance cars,
where the benefits of vibration dampening lead
to a quieter, smoother ride.) The sophisticated
power supply is supplemented by an additional
toroidal power transformer which supplies the
audio output circuitry. This combination further
refines the sound quality, and sets a new
benchmark for cd replay from a dvd player.

One such technological trend that will stand the test of time is the recent move
to a new video and audio connection called hdmi, which stands for High
Definition Multimedia Interface.* This new technology can further improve the
audio and video performance, first used in Arcams DiVA dv79, which has now
been applied more fully to the fmj dv29 with remarkable results.
The pace of change in home cinema electronics is always increasing. Not all
of the changes advance the state of the art, but every now and then there is
a development so significant that no one interested in real high performance
can ignore it.
f m jdv29
Arcam is one of the first manufacturers in the world
to produce a fully featured implementation of full
specification hdmi: the dv29 transmits digital video
and up to six channels of high definition audio to a
compatible receiver or processor. This makes it an ideal
connection for surround music (e.g. dvd-Audio) and,
of course, movie pictures.
The dv29s exceptional video performance starts with
its ultra-powerful decoding engine, which offers both
interlaced and motion adaptive progressive scan video
of outstanding quality. Its highly accurate video output
levels mean the best possible picture quality regardless
of which output is used.
Arcam has gained a superb reputation for some of the
best sounding dvd players in the world. The unique
components used in its manufacture give the dv29 a
tangible performance edge over other players, offering
true high-end audio performance from a dvd player.

To ensure system compatibility for enthusiasts
and custom installers alike, ir and duplex rs232
control are fitted as standard. On-board decoding
is offered for Dolby Digital 5.1, DTS 5.1 and Dolby
Pro Logic ii, along with comprehensive bass and
delay management.
hdmi inputs are already available on many of
the worlds best video display devices, with more
being introduced each month.
Another useful feature of the dv29 is that it can
be reprogrammed by playing a cdr of the system
software to load the new program into the players
flash memory. This ensures that any dvd disc
playability issues that come to light in the future
can be addressed with the minimum of disruption.
In addition to cd audio, the dv29 will replay cdr,
cdrw, dvd, dvda, dvdr, dvdrw, vcd, svcd, hdcd
as well as many wma or mp3 encoded cds.
The dv29 comes with a full function remote
control that can also adjust the volume level
on our fmj Home Cinema amplifiers.

Broadcast quality parts are used in the key video stages and, although expensive
for us to use, the enthusiastic feedback from picture quality critics confirms it is
money well spent.
The result is a picture that is remarkably close to film in its richness and
stability. The majority of plasma screens and video projectors can accept
a progressive scan input, in addition to an increasing number of high
specification tvs. The bigger the picture, the more benefit you will see from
the progressive scan process. The quality of the result is truly impressive with
images so real they help draw you further into the movie, enhancing your
enjoyment significantly.
The phenomenal success of dvd has brought cinema-like picture and sound
quality to the home. This has led to the development of superb projectors
and plasma screens, but sound quality has lagged behind the improvement
in video quality.

The dv29 has been compared to products from
manufacturers, which are more than twice as expensive,
but we are pleased to say that a demonstration will
confirm that the picture and sound quality are more
than a match for any product at any price. If you are
interested in the very best for your dvd/cd collections,
then you owe it to yourself to find out what the

A completely modular design, with 7 identical and
fully isolated power amplifiers, these may be daisy
chained for bi-amping or tri-amping suitable
loudspeakers. Each amplifier module has its own
bridge rectifiers and 20,000 microfarads of storage
capacitance, fed from a total of 14 individual
windings on the p7s two massive 1500va toroidal
power transformers. This arrangement ensures near
perfect isolation between the channels for the
avoidance of hum loops. It also means that each
channel can always deliver its full rated continuous
output power of 150 Watts into 8 ohms or 230
Watts into 4 ohms, irrespective of what the other
channels are doing.
The advanced current feedback circuit topology
used in the p7 is a further development of that used
in Arcams award-winning a85 and a32 amplifiers
and has ultra low distortion together with
exceptional dynamic range and transient response.
The p7 is a thx specified, 7 channel power amplifier
which has been designed to deliver reference standard
amplification in high performance audio-video
installations. It is the perfect partner to the av9
processor, but will also complement the performance
of any other high-quality preamp processor.
As well as being technically superb, great attention has
been paid to the aesthetic design of the p7 to ensure it
will look stunning in your home installation.
The p7 represents a tour-de-force in amplifier design.
Certain to enrich your listening experience, its
abundant power and finesse firmly positions Arcam
in a small, select group of world-class producers.

The p7 Multichannel Power Amplifier will deliver equally breathtaking results
from both music and home cinema sources. It will enthrall even the most
experienced and discerning listener.
-
As the p7 amplifier is capable of delivering over 1.6 kilowatts of
continuous undistorted audio power, there were a number of
engineering challenges that have had to be overcome to ensure
both short and long-term reliable operation. Each channel uses
four Sanken heavy duty bipolar output transistors firmly bolted
to a large custom designed aluminium heatsink.
These heatsinks are thermally very efficient so that, under normal
conditions, the amplifier needs only convection cooling and is
thus silent in use. With so much power on tap the p7 is equipped
with a heavy duty mains cable and socket, coupled
to a microprocessor controlled softstart sequencer which, to
minimise mains inrush currents, turns on the channels one by
one. This system is powered from its own small toroidal power
transformer, permitting the p7 to be remotely switched in and out
of standby via a 12-volt trigger input.
The microprocessor continuously monitors the condition of each
channel, including temperature, output current and dc offset,
to ensure correct operation or instant shut-down under fault
conditions. It also controls a variable-speed cooling fan, for those
rare occasions when convection cooling is not enough.
The p7 features a beautifully contoured front panel and integral
air intake slot, with 7 multicoloured LEDs to show the operating
status of each channel. The whole case is made of heavy gauge
aluminium, which helps the overall sound quality due to its
excellent thermal and non-magnetic properties. Because it
weighs over 30 kg, even the p7s feet are made from machined
aluminium, complete with easy slide plastic inserts to help
with installation.
Astonishing sonic performance;outstanding specication,exibility and build, trulybrilliant in every sense.

Over the last 20 years, Arcam has won many awards for some of the best cd
players ever produced. With the cd36, Arcam has produced a truly stunning
player in every sense: incorporating true state-of-the-art electronic and
mechanical design techniques, it is the best cd player we have ever made.
At Arcam we take sound seriously, we want you to hear your music as the artist
intended, as pure and clean as it was laid down in the studio. You will miss
nothing, experiencing the very essence of the music in its entirety.
Arcam audio technology has developed to the point where music reproduction in
the home is closer than ever to the sound of real instruments. Arcams technical
team has worked intensively to create the fmj cd36 to deliver that special result.
f m jcd36
The attention to detail required in the design and
development of the cd36 is reected by the ultra high
level of performance that this player delivers. The
denition in the sound stage produced from the best
cds is proof that our obsession with design accuracy
measured in parts per million is justied. The
improvement in definition in the lowest frequency
range is palpable.
We have used a new material for the chassis that is made
using a special vibration-damping, laminated
construction. It is four times more expensive than our
standard chassis, but your ear will agree the
improvement is priceless.

The cd36 has scaled new heights in cd replay.
At the pinnacle of cd reproduction at a
real-world price, its sound quality outperforms
players many times more expensive.
The cd36 brings together cutting-edge analogue,
and digital audio design. Key performance areas
include upsampling the 44.1khz digital data
stream to 192khz, which allows us to use a very
high frequency analogue output filter for
improved phase and frequency response.
The dac circuit board uses a total of four
2-channel Wolfson 8740 dacs. These multi-bit
sigma-delta devices are the very best performing
dac chips available. Using several in parallel
further reduces noise and distortion and
improves linearity.

radio interference: the av9 is a digital audio device which has
been designed to very high standards of electromagnetic
compatibility. the unit can radiate rf (radio frequency) energy.
in some cases this can cause interference with fm and am
radio reception. if this is the case, keep the av9 processor and its
connecting cables as far from the tuner and its aerials as
possible. connecting the av9 and the tuner to different mains
sockets can also help to reduce interference. e&oe 12/05
