Arcam BDP100 and AVR400

 

A Blu-ray player and AV receiver pairing for movie and music connoisseurs with big budgets.

Exceptional picture and sound quality ; Rock solid build quality and stunning looks ; Networking and Internet radio support (AVR400)

No multichannel analogue outputs (BDP100) ; No 3D or networking support (BDP100) ; Slow disc loading and operational foibles (BDP100)

Arcam BDP100 review

 

Despite its premium price tag, and fine picture and sound, the Arcam BDP100 has too many flaws

Terrific picture ; fine sound in surround and stereo ; backlit remote ; some usability issues have been addressed…

… but not all ; poor spec for the cash

Much-improved thanks to the new firmware, but still not completely flawless

There’s no question that the Arcam FMJ BDP100 Blu-ray player isn’t loaded for bear when it comes to features. But some buyers choose such a player over the kitchen-sink variety for the same reason an audiophile will pay five figures for a bare-bones CD...
