If the internet radio station sound quality is poor or broken on your Arcam Amplifier, check if the radio station has a low bit rate (use the INFO key to find this or look on the OSD) and ensure your network is not slow or congested.
Why is there no sound coming from my Arcam AVR850?
To resolve no sound issues with your Arcam Amplifier, ensure the correct input is selected, the ‘Audio Source’ is correctly set in the ‘Input Confgi.’ menu, the source equipment is on and operating in ‘play’ mode if needed, and the volume is at a reasonable level while the Receiver is not muted.
What to do if no picture is being produced by my Arcam AVR850 Amplifier?
If no picture is showing on your Arcam Amplifier, verify that your viewing device is on and set to display your Receiver. Press the MENU button on the Receiver or remote to check for the main menu screen. Also, ensure the correct video input is selected on the Receiver, and the video source is on, working properly, and in ‘play’ mode if needed.
Why is the sound poor or distorted on my Arcam Amplifier?
If sound from your Arcam Amplifier is poor or distorted: * Make sure you haven't excessively increased the input sensitivity in the Input Configuration menu if using an analogue input. * Ensure you've selected the correct speaker size for your system in the setup menu.
Why does the source switching change randomly or freeze on one source on my Arcam AVR850?
To address random source switching or freezing on one source with your Arcam Amplifier: * Ensure there are no static or impulse interference problems from nearby power equipment. If there are, switch the Receiver off, wait ten seconds, then switch it back on. * Make sure there's no direct sunlight shining on the infra-red detector behind the front panel display.
What to do if files on a USB memory device cannot be played on my Arcam AVR850?

What to do if files on a computer cannot be played on my Arcam Amplifier?
If files on a computer cannot be played on your Arcam Amplifier, ensure the files are in a compatible format and that the computer is connected via a network, not USB, as the Receiver USB port cannot be used for direct computer connections.
Why is 'USB' not shown in the network client’s list of folders when a USB memory device is connected to my Arcam AVR850 Amplifier?
To ensure a USB memory device is recognized by your Arcam Amplifier, verify that the device conforms to the mass storage class and that a USB hub is not being used. When a USB memory device is connected, ‘USB’ is shown in the network client’s list of folders
Why is there hum on the analogue input of my Arcam Amplifier?
To address hum on the analogue input of your Arcam Amplifier: * Ensure all cables are making a good connection by withdrawing and re-plugging them fully (after turning the power off). * Check for broken or badly soldered connections inside the source cable connector. * If the hum occurs only with a specific source, ensure that the aerial cable or dish connection to this source is ground isolated.
How to fix no lights on my Arcam Amplifier?
