Overview

The P777 Multichannel Power Amplifier is built to Arcam's traditional high quality design and manufacturing standards. It is an extremely high-performance multichannel power amplifier obviously well suited to multichannel home cinema amplification, although it also provides superb quality stereo performance with two-channel sources. The P777 is an ideal partner for the PMJ AV888 Pre-amp Processor.

Each power amplifier module is identical, and is electrically isolated from the other modules by opto-isolated circuitry which ensures that each amplifier module has its own isolated supply. This allows the amplifier to give excellent channel separation and very low distortion.

The P777 also has input and output phono sockets for the signal being fed to each channel, to allow the signal to be passed on to additional power amplifiers to drive loudspeakers in other rooms or to bi-amplify any of the speakers. If the P777 is being used to drive a five-channel surround sound system, then the spare two modules (SBL and SBR) can be used in conjunction with the main (L and R) modules to bi-amplify suitable front left and right speakers.

The customised installation of the P777 to 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. This manual has been written with the assumption that the installer is familiar with the installation of high-end audio/video systems.

Placing the unit

  • Place the P777 on a level, firm surface, avoiding direct sunlight and sources of heat or damp.
    The P777 is a powerful amplifier and a source of considerable heat output when driven hard. Take this into consideration when placing the unit.
    Do not place the unit in an enclosed space such as a bookcase or closed cabinet unless there is very good provision for ventilation.
    Do not place any other component or item on top of the P777 as this may obstruct airflow around the unit, causing the P777 to run hot.
    Do not place your record deck on top of this unit. Record decks are very sensitive to the noise generated by mains power supplies which will be heard as a background 'hum' if the record deck is too close.

Room acoustics

The shape of your room and how it's furnished will affect the sound you hear. For instance, too many bare surfaces can cause reflections that may add harshness to the sound. Adding carpeting and drapes can help.

If you have a choice of rooms, avoid ones that are perfectly square or have one dimension exactly twice another. These rooms can aggravate resonances that colour the sound.

12V Trigger input

If your pre-amp provides a 12V Trigger output, it can be connected to the 12VTRIGERIN socket using a mono 3.5mm jack. This enables the P777 to be turned on remotely from the pre-amp.

ARCAM FMJ P777 - 12V Trigger input - 1

Note that the trigger input is only active when the central power button on the front panel is depressed. In normal use there is no need to make any connections to this input.

Power

The P777 is supplied with a moulded mains plug already fitted to the lead. Up to 3kW is drawn at maximum levels, so a heavy duty IFC mains cable is supplied.

Check that the plug supplied fits your supply - if your mains supply voltage or mains plug is different, or you need a new mains lead, please contact your Arcam dealer.

Push the IEC plug end of the power cable into the socket on the back of the P777, making sure that it is pushed in firmly. Plug the other end of the cable into your main's socket and, if necessary, switch the socket on.

Connecting to a pre-amplifier

Two different connection types are provided for receiving signals from your pre-amplifier phone sockets and XLR connectors. The connection type to use depends on the set-up that you have.

If the cables to be used to connect your preamplifier to the P777 are less than 3m long, we recommend connecting your pre-amplifier to the AUDIOIN phono (RCA) sockets of your P777. To use the phono connections, make sure that all the channel input switches are not depressed.
If the cables to be used to connect your pre-amplifier to the P777 are 3m or longer and your pre-amplifier has balanced XLR outputs, we recommend using these instead of the phone (RCA) connections. Performance will also be improved in electrically noisy environments by using these connections. To use the XLR connections, make sure that the INPUT SELECT switches are depressed for each channel.

Pin Function

1 Chassis ground (cable shield)
2 'Hot' (normal polarity)
3 'Cold' (inverted polarity)

Interconnect cables

We recommend the use of high-quality screened cables that are designed for the particular application. Other cables will have different impedance characteristics that will degrade the performance of your system (for example, do not use cabling intended for video use to carry audio signals). All cables should be kept as short as is practically possible.

It is good practice when connecting your equipment to make sure that the mains power-supply cabling is kept as far away as possible from your audio cables. Failure to do so may result in unwanted noise in the audio signals.

speakers

Speaker placement

The P777 allows connection of up to seven loudspeakers. All speakers, with the exception of the subwoofer, should be arranged around your normal viewing/listening position (see diagram). The subwoofer can be placed almost anywhere and we recommend experimenting with it in various positions to obtain the best result.

The closer you place a speaker to intersecting room surfaces (corners, wall and ceiling, wall and floor), the stronger the bass output. This can help bass-shy speakers, but it can also add too much bass. Again, just moving a speaker a few inches can often make a big difference in sound.

Position your front left (L) and right (R) speakers to achieve a good stereo image for normal musical reproduction. If they are placed too close together there will be a lack of spaciousness. Alternatively if they are placed too far apart the stereo image will appear to have a hole in the middle and will be presented in halves.

The centre speaker (C) allows for a more realistic reproduction of dialogue and centre sounds as well as wider and better imaging for stereo effects and background sounds for home cinema use. Do not compromise on the quality of your centre speaker as it carries all the dialogue for a home cinema system.

The surround left (SL) and right (SR) speakers reproduce the ambient sound and effects present in a multichannel home cinema system.

The surround back left (SBL) and surround back right (SBR) speakers are used to add extra depth, a more spacious ambience and sound localisation.

A subwoofer (SW) will greatly improve the bass performance from your system. This is useful for reproducing special cinema effects, especially where a dedicated 1.FE (Low-Frequency Effects) channel is available, as with Dolby Digital or DTS Digital Surround encoded discs.

Speaker wiring options

Single wiring

Single wiring is the conventional wiring method of running a single cable per channel between the amplifier and the speaker; this is the easiest technique.

Bi-wiring

Bi-wiring is running two separate cables between the amplifier and each speaker, with one cable carrying the low-frequency information, the other the higher-frequency signals.

Bi-wiring can improve the sound of your system because the separation of high- and low-frequency signal currents into different speaker cables avoids distortions caused by the different currents interacting with one another within a single cable, as occurs in single-wired systems.

The P777 is designed to allow easy bi-wiring, but you will need to connect to loudspeakers that provide separate terminals for the two cables. Each speaker must have two pairs of terminals; one pair labelled or 'High Frequency', the other pair labelled if or 'Low Frequency'.

Bi-amping

Bi-ampming is the separation of the amplification of low- and high-frequency signals over two amplifiers. Bi-ampming requires the use of two amplifiers per channel.

Notes on making speaker connections

Do not make any connections to any amplifier while it is switched on. We recommend that your amplifier is completely disconnected from the mains supply before starting.
Before switching your amplifier on for the first time after connecting to speakers, please check all connections thoroughly. Ensure that bare wires or cables are not touching each other or the amplifier's chassis (which could cause short circuits), and that you have connected positive (+) to positive and negative (-) to negative. Be sure to check the wiring for both the amplifier and the speaker.
After making connections: switch the amplifier on, with the pre-amplifier volume set to a low setting. Select a source signal, then gradually increase the volume to the required listening level.
If you are unsure as to how your system should be connected, or need advice on bi-wiring or bi-amplifying, please contact your Arcam dealer who will be happy to help you.

Single wiring

If each speaker has more than one pair of connecting terminals, use the terminals labelled # or "Low Frequency" for each speaker.

Connect the positive terminal of the right speaker connection on the amplifier (coloured red and labelled +R) to the positive terminal of your right speaker. Similarly, connect the negative terminal of the amplifier (coloured black and labelled with R-) to the negative terminal of your speaker. Repeat the process for the left speaker, using the amplifier terminals labelled +I and -I.

If your speakers support bi-wiring, then there is a strip of conductive metal on the speakers connecting the low-frequency terminals to those for the higher-frequencies; this musiNOT Be RemOveD in a single wired system.

ARCAM FMJ P777 - Single wiring - 2

Bi-wiring

Bi writing is performed in the same way as single writing except that, for each speaker, a pair of cables are used to connect the amplifier to each speaker.

Follow the instructions given for single wiring; then perform the same actions, this time connecting the upper set of speaker terminals on your amplifier to the terminals labelled HF or 'High Frequency' for each speaker. Please refer to the illustration.

Speakers that support bi-wiring have a strip of metal on the speakers connecting the low-frequency terminals to those for the higher-frequencies; this mUST Be RemOVeD in a bi-wired system.

ARCAM FMJ P777 - Bi-wiring - 1
Bi-wiring using one amplifier channel per speaker

Bi-amping

Bi amping requires the use of two amplifier channels per speaker. Using this method will prevent you from using seven surround speakers.

Connect two channels of the P777 with a phone cable between the AudioOut socket on one channel to the Audio IN channel of another. One channel should then be connected to the speakers as described for single wiring, with the exception that this channel should be connected to the speaker terminals labelled HF or 'High Frequency'. The second channel must then be connected to the IF or 'Low Frequency' terminals, as in the diagram.

Note that the strip of metal on the speakers connecting the lower terminals to the upper terminals mUST Be RemOVcD. Failure to do so will result in damage to both amplifiers, which will not normally be covered under warranty.

Arcam recommends that the phone connections are use for bi-amping. If you prefer to use the XLR connectors, use a Y-lead with one female XLR to two male XLRs, so that two amplifier channels may be fed from a single source. Contact your dealer if you need assistance.

Front panel control

The front panel has a single control: a centrally located power on/off button.

POWER

Switches the unit on and off. Note that the modules are turned on individually to stagger the surge created when a powerful amplifier is switched on (i.e., it provides a 'soli start'). This reduces the surge current drawn from the domestic power supply.

Status LEDs

A separate IED indicates the status of each of the seven channels of the P777.

The I.FDs cycle through red, orange, then green to indicate the status from powered-up (initialised), stabilised and active respectively.

All 1.EDs are off in standby mode.

Operating procedure

Once the relevant connections have been made, the P777 can be switched on using the central button on the front panel.

Switching on

It is recommended that you switch on your pre-amplifier or controller before powering up the power amplifier. Normal powering up is indicated by the following sequence of front panel LED indicators:

  1. On pressing the power switch, all LEDs turn red.
  2. After a short delay (about half a-second), the centre LED turns amber.
  3. The LEDs continue turning amber from the centre to the edges in pairs, at about one second intervals.
  4. The centre LED turns green and a relay 'click' is heard.
  5. The LEDs continue turning green from the centre to the edges in pairs, along with relay clicks, at about one second intervals.

In the unlikely event that the LEDs do not follow this sequence when the unit is powered up, or they behave abnormally at any time during use, then refer to the 'Fault status indicators' table on page 10 to discover why the amplifier is in protection mode.

Switching off

To what down, switch the power amplifier off first, followed by the pre amplifier or controller.

This eliminates the chance of any 'thumps' or power spikes being fed through to the power amplifier and potentially causing damage to the system.

trouble-shooting

No Lights on the Unit

Check that:

the power cord is plugged into the P777 and the mains socket outlet it is plugged into is switched
the plug fuse has not failed, or a circuit-breaker earlier in the power supply path has not opened.
the power button is pressed in.

Red LED present

Refer to the 'Fault status indicators' table (overleaf) if you have an unusual sequence of 1FDs.

No sound is produced

Check that:

the correct input has been selected on the pre-amplifier.
you have assigned the digital input to the correct input source.
the volume is turned up to a reasonable level and MUTE'is not displayed on the front panel display on the pre-amplifier.
your power amplifier(s) are turned on and working correctly.

Sound is poor and badly distorted

Check that

all cables are making a good connection. If necessary withdraw the cable from the connector and plug it back in again. (Turn the power off before doing this.)
you have selected the correct size of speakers to suit your system in the setup menu of the processor or pre-amp.

Sound only comes from some of the speakers

Check that:

all speakers in the system are connected to the P777.
you have configured your pre-amp to include all the speakers in your system.
you have an appropriate surround sound source selected and playing through the pre-amp.
For digital sources, check the player is outputting multichannel data. With some DVD players you are able to select in what format multi-format encoded discs are outputted, and whether multichannel data is down-mixed to PCM (stereo).
the disc you are playing is a multichannel recording and that the processor is outputting multichannel audio.
your speaker balance is correct
all amplifiers are turned on and all channels are working correctly.
all units are turned on. If the audio is 'daisy-chained' from the P777, make sure that the unit being fed is turned on.

Hum on an amplifier output

Check that

all cables are making a good connection. If necessary withdraw the cable from the connector and plug it back in again. (Turn the power off before doing this.)
if the hum originates from a ground loop caused by an aerial, satellite dish or cable supply, you should contact your aerial contractor.

the signal (interconnect) leads are not wrapped around a mains lead.
try switching the ground lift on the back panel of the processor (if available).

There is radio/television reception interference

The P777 has been designed to a very high standards of electromagnetic compatibility.

Check that:

the aerial/dish cable is routed as far as possible from your amplifier and its cabling.
the cabling used from the aerial/dish is of high quality and screened.

  • repositioning the receiving serial/dish as far as possible from your amplifier and its cabling may bring an improvement.
    if the problem persists, contact your aerial contractor.
    you are using high quality screened audio cable between your equipment and that no cables are broken or damaged.

Fault status indicators

The LED patterns below indicate the following fault conditions:

LED status Description Amplifier action
All LEDs are greenDuring power up all LEDs stay red for an extended timeThis is the normal operating state of the amplifier.The amplifier is waiting for the DC offset fault lines to clear. A DC offset fault can occur if an excessive DC voltage is present at the output of the pre-amp feeding the P777. Normal operation resumes if the lines clear in 20 seconds.NoneTo verify excessive DC offset voltage, remove the interconnect leads (with the P777 switched off) and turn on the P777. The fault should have cleared.
During power up or normal operation, one or more LEDs are flashing green, with the remaining LEDs solid redThe DC fault cannot be cleared. The channels with the flashing green LEDs represent the amplifier modules that have a DC offset fault. Alternatively, a DC offset fault has reocurred on the same channel within 12 seconds of a previous DC offset fault clearance.The amplifier shuts down. The power switch must be cycled to reset the amplifier (cycling the trigger does NOT reset the amplifier).
During power up or normal operation, one or more LEDs are flashing green, with the remaining LEDs NOT solid redThe amplifier is attempting to clear a DC offset fault on a channel with the flashing green LED.The amplifier mutes the channel with the fault and its paired channel. The amplifier stays in this state for up to two seconds or until the fault clears (whichever is sooner).
During power up or normal operation, one or more LEDs are flashing red, with the remaining LEDs solid redA short circuit fault cannot be cleared. The flashing red LEDs represent the amplifier modules with a short circuit fault. Alternatively, a short circuit fault has reocurred on the same channel within 12 seconds of a previous short circuit fault clearance.The amplifier shuts down.
