2003 saw Jamo's move into electronics with the successful debut of the multi-award winning DVR 50 DVD receiver. Today we're proud to announce the next phase of our electronics rollout, with the launch of a stunning new range of AV separates.
All of the new components – which comprise one A/V receivers and a DVD player - have been designed with typical Scandinavian flair and finished to our usual high standards… those considering our new E 7 series of loudspeakers will find that these electronics complement them perfectly.
We really believe we've come up with a totally unique look for our new electronics. All the components feature the minimum in terms of buttons plus solid 4mm brushed aluminium front panels. These not only give the products a beautiful appearance and feel, but also ensure a very stable construction, further enhancing video and sound quality.
So they look great…what else can you look forward to? Here's the inside information…
Jamo AVR-793
The AVR-793 is a 7.1 channel device, delivering 7 x 135w (6 ohms).
Massive toroidal transformers and high-grade capacitors
The AVR-793 feature over-dimensioned toroidal transformers and high-grade capacitors (AVR-693: 40,000 µF, AVR-793: 60,000 µF ), for extra stability and large reserves of power.
As a result there's always enough current to keep a tight ‘grip' on speakers. Even the most demanding transient peaks are reproduced with life-like accuracy and realistic dynamics. Just one of the factors which distinguishes an excellent amplifier from the ordinary.
You're always well informed
Besides the usual status information the receiver-display indicates not only which multi-channel format is currently on, but also which channels are actually active.
So if, say, you're listening to a stereo broadcast in Dolby Pro Logic IIx mode (with all six speakers plus a subwoofer), you'll be able to tell at a glance…
Comprehensive processing
You name it - these receivers have got it. Dolby Digital EX, Dolby Pro Logic IIX, DTS-ES (Discrete/Matrix 6.1)… basically we've covered all the bases.
The receiver uses 192kHz/24-bit DACs and sports 5 additional processing modes for extra fun, in addition to a Re-EQ Cinema Filter. Users can also benefit from a six-step LF (low frequency) crossover as well as individual bass management for front, surround and centre channels.
Input versatility
Naturally you've got a full complement of video inputs, with the AVR-793 boasting additional high-bandwidth component video inputs and outputs. On the rear panel the AVR-793 also sports 3 optical and 3 coaxial digital inputs plus a 7.1 multi channel input for SACD/DVD-Audio sources It has optical and coaxial inputs on the front panel.
Jamo DVD-593 DVD player
Styled to match the receivers, this high-quality DVD drive accepts and plays virtually any optical disc format, from normal CDs to CD-R/RW as well as the latest DVD-R/RW and DVD+R/RWs.
DivX compatible
The DVD-593 also handles movies in the new DivX format. For those unfamiliar with it, DivX is to movies what MP3 is to music. Thanks to its efficient compression algorithms a full movie can be stored on just one CD-ROM.
Component video output and progressive scan
To ensure the highest picture quality the DVD-593 features a PAL/NTSC progressive scan component video output. This enables both NTSC and PAL discs to be displayed with extremely stable and flicker-free images (via compatible displays).
Well connected
For total flexibility the DVD-593 includes the following outputs: composite video, S-Video and - of course - component video.
Built to last, styled to please, specified to compete and designed for supreme ease of use, Jamo's first series of Hi-Fi /home cinema separates is sure to make a lasting impression on the market!
