Solo Movie 5.1
Movie System
Solo Movie is a major advance in the quest to introduce more people to the world of stunning pictures and sound. Amazingly, Arcam’s dedicated engineering team has managed to distil the performance of their home theatre separates into an all-in-one system that truly has it all. Incorporating technology developed in tandem with one of the world’s leading DVD chip manufacturers, Solo Movie 5.1 has to be seen to be believed.
Since its introduction in 2004, Arcam’s Solo music system has brought audiophile music reproduction to a whole new group of music lovers. With the launch of Solo 5.1, Arcam has achieved a world first: the advanced feature set of an esoteric home cinema system plus world class sound and picture quality in a stylish, neat and easy to use package.
Solo 5.1 boasts connectivity and playback abilities far beyond current high performance “one box” home cinema systems. Its internal video scaler, HDMI switching and universal disc playback makes it the perfect partner for today’s high definition video displays. However, it is the unit’s audio and video quality, its stylish, understated good looks and ease of use controls that will capture the hearts of music and movie fans the world over.
