INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on purchasing this Cambridge Audio Azur range DVD receiver. It is the result of our most extensive ever research and development program in over three decades of producing quality HiFi products. We hope that you will appreciate the results and enjoy many years of rewarding ownership.
A brief introduction to DVD and DVD Audio
DVD is well known for its extraordinarily large capacity and outstanding audio-video effects. Its capacity is as high as 4.7-17 GB (approximately 7-26 times the capacity of CD). With 500-line horizontal resolution of picture and Dolby Digital 5.1 Channel surround sound, it brings a new era to audio visual entertainment.
Using MLP Lossless from Dolby Laboratories, DVD-Audio discs can store up to six channels of 24-bit/96 kHz audio, including a separate low-frequency bass channel. Compare that to two channels of 16-bit/44.1 kHz sound from CD's! For stereo buffs, a DVD-Audio disc can alternatively hold two channels of 24-bit/192 kHz audio, exceeding the quality of any music audio format previously developed.
DVD-Audio discs can also add a visual element to your music. Discs can carry picture galleries, lyrics, notes, or any combination of still images, animation, and text. Producers and artists can even add audio commentary, similar to that found on many DVD-Video discs. And, as with DVD-Video, each DVD-Audio disc can also contain full-motion video, with accompanying Dolby Digital sound in up to 5.1 channels
About this unit
The Azur DVD Receiver encompasses the most sophisticated picture reproduction, including the ability to reproduce a progressive scan image in both PAL and NTSC. This allows for a stunningly realistic picture on a suitably equipped television. The integrated amplifiers are able to create a powerful, lifelike sound without the need for additional boxes. The result is a capable yet discrete unit.
Sonically, the 540V adds DVD-Audio playback for the best possible musical performance in both multi channel surround and high quality stereo discs. Cambridge Audio has also worked hard to ensure that CD replay is excellent and up to the standards of the rest of the 540V.
To maximise the performance from this equipment we would encourage you to use only high quality viewing sources, and capable loudspeakers. We particularly recommend cabling from the Cambridge Audio range, which has been designed to the same exacting standards as the rest of our products.
Now we invite you to sit back, relax and enjoy!

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Checking the power supply rating
For your own safety please read the following instructions carefully before attempting to connect this unit to the mains.
Check that the rear of your unit indicates the correct supply voltage. If your mains supply voltage is different, consult your dealer.
This unit is designed to operate only on the supply voltage and type that is indicated on the rear panel of the unit. Connecting to other power sources may damage the unit.
This equipment must be switched off when not in use and must not be used unless correctly earthed. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove the unit's cover (or back). There are no user serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel. If the power cord is fitted with a moulded mains plug the unit must not be used if the plastic fuse carrier is not in place.
The lightning flash with the arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated 'dangerous voltage' within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance instructions in the service literature relevant to this appliance.
This product complies with European Low Voltage (73/23/EEC) and Electromagnetic Compatibility (89/336/EEC) Directives when used and installed according to this instruction manual. For continued compliance only Cambridge Audio accessories should be used with this product and servicing must be referred to qualified service personnel.
Plug fitting instructions (UK only)
The cord supplied with this appliance is factory fitted with a 13A mains plug fitted with a 5A fuse inside. If it is necessary to change the fuse, it is important that a 5A one is used. If the plug needs to be changed because it is not suitable for your socket, or becomes damaged, it should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted following the wiring instructions below. The plug must then be disposed of safely, as insertion into a 13A socket is likely to cause an electrical hazard. Should it be necessary to fit a 3-pin BS mains plug to the power cord the wires should be fitted as shown in this diagram. The colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug. Connect them as follows:-
The wire which is coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter 'N' or coloured BLACK.
The wire which is coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter 'L' or coloured RED
The wire which is coloured GREEN/YELLOW must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter 'E' or coloured GREEN.
If your model does not have an earth wire, then disregard this instruction.

INSTALLATION USING THE REMOTE HANDSET
Please take a moment to read these notes before installing your Azur DVD receiver, they will enable you to get the best performance and prolong the life of your unit.
This unit must be installed on a sturdy, level surface.
The unit requires ventilation. Do not situate it on a rug or other soft surface and do not obstruct any air inlets or outlet grilles.
Do not place in a sealed area such as a bookcase or in a cabinet. Any space open at the back (such as a dedicated equipment rack) is fine.
Never allow this unit to come into contact with water or other liquids and ensure that small objects do not fall through any ventilation grille. In either event, switch it off immediately, disconnect it from the mains supply and contact your dealer for advice.
Do not route the power cable so that it can be walked upon or damaged by other items near it.
Like all audiophile electronic components, this unit will subtly improve with some initial running in.
If you do not intend to use this unit for a long period, switch it off and unplug it from the mains socket.
To clean the unit, wipe its case with a moist, lint-free cloth. Do not use any cleaning fluids containing alcohol, ammonia or abrasives. Do not spray an aerosol at or near your DVD receiver.
This product is not user serviceable. If you have checked the troubleshooting guide at the back of the manual with no improvement, do not attempt to repair, disassemble or reconstruct the unit. A serious electric shock could result if this precautionary measure is ignored. In the event of a problem or failure, please contact your dealer.
When you have unpacked your remote handset, insert the supplied AAA batteries to activate it. The remote can control all of the standard playback options but is also important in setting up your DVD player as many of the menus are most easily accessed from the remote.
To navigate menus, the four cursor buttons marked with arrows will move you around the menus and the SELECT button in the middle of them will access the item highlighted at the time. This applies to both the setup menus on the 540V and the menus on DVD discs themselves.

REAR PANEL CONNECTIONS
Video Connections (see page 8 for diagram)
The 540V is equipped with Composite (CVBS), S-Video (SVHS) and Component (YCbCr) Video connections. Progressive Scan is only available from the Component video output. These outputs are picture only. It is only necessary to use one video connection at any one time.
RBG through Scart (see page 9 for diagram)
It is possible to connect the 540V to a TV's Scart socket using the dedicated RGB Trigger to Scart cable available from Cambridge Audio, which is connected via the component video outputs (R,G and B) and the RBG Select socket.
Note - RGB output must be selected in the Set-Up menu (see page 13)
Audio Connections (see page 10 for diagrams)
Digital outputs - The 540V is equipped with an optical and a coaxial digital output. These allow for a digital soundtrack on a DVD disc to be sent to a suitably equipped AV receiver for decoding and amplification. This means that if you choose to upgrade to a separate receiver, the 540V can be used purely as a DVD player. Both outputs perform the same function- simply choose the type that best suits your needs.
Analogue outputs (audio out) - The 540V carries a stereo RCA (phono) output for connecting to a conventional stereo amplifier. This could be used for CD replay, for example. To listen to audio through your TV connect to the matching audio inputs on your TV. The subwoofer audio out is for the connection of an active subwoofer for use with 5.1 only.
Aux input - An additional stereo source component can be connected here for output through the 540V
Speaker Terminals - The 540V has five surround speaker terminals and a passive subwoofer terminal (use the subwoofer audio out to attach an active subwoofer). Connect suitable loudspeakers using speaker cable to these terminals. The sound will be muffled and weak if the speakers are incorrectly wired. When stereo downmix is selected in the set-up menu only the front left and right loudspeaker terminals will be active.
Tuner Connection - The 540V carries an internal AM/FM tuner. The supplied aerials for satisfactory reception are connected here.
AC power socket
Once you have completed all connections to the amplifier, plug the AC Power Cable into an appropriate mains socket. Your DVD receiver is now ready for use.
