Question 2

How to use the clock system of the Cambridge Audio AZUR 340T without a remote control?

Accepted Answer

The Cambridge Audio AZUR 340T does not have clock controls on the front panel. According to the official manual, the clock system can only be set manually via the provided remote control. The front panel only has buttons for frequency selection (FM/AM), presets, and audio modes, but no clock functions.

Automatic setting via RDS: The best alternative without a remote control is to let the clock set itself automatically. Connect to an FM station with RDS signal (about 80% of FM stations offer this feature in France). The manual confirms: "The user can either allow RDS transmissions to automatically set the time and date or manually set the clock." As soon as you receive a good quality RDS signal, the AZUR 340T will automatically synchronize the time and display it in standby mode.

Time display: When you place the tuner in standby (press Standby/On), the time and date will be displayed on the digital screen if RDS mode is activated and an RDS station has been previously received. This allows you at least to check the time without a remote control.

In case of loss of the remote control: For manual clock setting, you will need the provided Cambridge Audio remote control or a compatible remote. Cambridge Audio recommends contacting an authorized dealer to obtain a replacement remote. You can also check the website www.cambridge-audio.com for available accessories.

HDMI ARC output (Audio Return Channel), if the TV and the amplifier support it

2. Choose the appropriate type of connection

Optical connection: If your TV has an optical output and the amplifier has an optical input, use a TOSLINK optical cable for better digital audio quality.
HDMI ARC connection: If your television and your Cambridge Audio AZUR 851A amplifier are HDMI ARC compatible, connect them via an HDMI cable to their respective HDMI ARC ports. This also allows you to control the volume with the TV remote.

3. Connect the cables

Connect the chosen cable between the audio output of the TV and the corresponding input of the amplifier.

4. Configure the amplifier

Turn on the amplifier and select the input corresponding to the connection used (for example "AUX", "OPTICAL" or "HDMI ARC").

5. Adjust the audio settings of the Samsung television

In the audio settings menu of your TV, select the audio output corresponding to the chosen connection (for example, enable the optical or HDMI ARC output).
If you are using an optical or HDMI ARC output, disable the TV's internal speakers to avoid double sound.
