The processor also includes broadcast-quality switching for seven HDMI video/audio sources with an included remote control that can be tuned to control all of your devices including DVD players, TV and CD players, negating the need for multiple remote controls. The AVR21 also offers you 16-channel decoding of immersive audio from AURO-3D, Dolby Atmos and DTS:X for theatre-like experiences from the comfort of your own home.

Hi-Res ready
The AVR21 is designed to be your home-entertainment centre and to that end, it offers high-resolution decoding, supports MQA files and is also Roon ready. What does this mean for you? Well, not only do you get the ability to stream hi-res audio from services like Tidal but, using Roon you can combine all of your digital files together from your own personal collection of CDs and then you're free to build your system your way with compatibility offered from different brands. This gives you the ability to stream high bitrate audio up to 32-bit/768kHz.

Control your set up your way
AVR21 comes with multiple control options meaning you can control your receiver however best suits your set-up. Manual, Wifi / Ethernet, RS232 and IR control are possible so whether you're looking to control your receiver from a third party interface like a Macro Wall Controller, from your phone or computer, or similarly control your external devices via your universal AV21 controller you're free to do as you please.

All-in-one home entertainment centre
Arcam AVR21 comes packed with connection options so you can easily integrate it into your current set-up with integrated Class AB amplifiers offering seven channels of power amplification. The HDMI ports also allow for 8K@60FPS with HDR10+, HDMI 2.1 with HDCP2.3 and Dolby Vision support so you can ensure premium visuals, and with the included eARC support, lossless audio is assured so you can enjoy a fully immersive experience for your favourite music, shows, movies, sports events and games.

Dolby Atmos - home cinema at it's best
The AVR21 offers AURO-3D, Dolby Atmos and DTS:X 7.1.4 decoding. This brings the theatre experience into your living space or home theatre. Not just limited to movies, Atmos enhances all your media including music, games and even podcasts. It offers a new multidimensional experience by placing sounds on a 3D plane, so you get the full effect of a bullet racing past your favourite protagonist's head in the latest high octane blockbuster and can even place you in the crowd watching your favourite artist perform allowing you to feel every beat of the drum. Atmos takes surround sound and evolves it to new heights for a whole new experience.
