DV78 DVD PLAYER

Arcam's former entry-level DVD player in the DiVA range is the DV78. It is the result of more than four years' development experience and uses the design team's insight and understanding to engineer our most affordable player ever.

The cost saving is substantial, but we are proud to say that we have video performance which is truly world class. We have also used our expertise to ensure that the audio quality reflects the audiophile heritage, which is at the heart of every Arcam product.

The quality of components is identical to those used in our more expensive models, the DiVA DV88 Plus DVD player and DiVA DV89 DVD-Audio player. What has changed is the simplified construction and assembly techniques, which have substantially reduced build and test times. The player comes equipped with a new remote control as well as a new navigation button.

The DV78 supports both interlaced and progressive video including 625p PAL progressive scan and has an exceptionally high level of video performance, delivering film-like clarity, depth and smoothness from even poorly coded DVDs.

The video performance is extraordinary; the stability and sharpness of the picture is immediately impressive. The player uses parts and techniques more commonly seen in sophisticated/specialist broadcast equipment to great effect.

Special attention has been paid to sound quality and particularly to CD replay via the analogue outputs – an area where nearly all DVD players fall short of audiophiles’
expectations. On music from CD or DVD, the DV78 will not disappoint.

Responding to user feedback from previous models, a new remote handset - the CR415 (pictured) - has been designed. This features a clearly logical layout with highly legible buttons and key controls colour-coded to provide fast and intuitive access to all DV78 functions.

For those times when the remote is not to hand, the new navigation fascia button on the front panel of the DVD player allows direct access to the DV78's set-up menu and disc menus, allowing any DVD to be navigated directly from the player's front panel.
