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.
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.
A brief introduction to DVD and DVD Audio
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.
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 .
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.
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.
Now we invite you to sit back, relax and enjoy!
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

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Checking the power supply rating
Plug fitting instructions (UK only)
For your own safety please read the following instructions carefully before
attempting to connect this unit to the mains.
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:-
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 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 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
persons.
a
risk of electric shock to
The wire which is coloured GREEN/ YELLOW
must be connected to the terminal which is
marked with the letter 'E' or coloured
GREEN.
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.
If your model does not have an earth wire,
then disregard this instruction.
This product complies with European Low Voltage (73/ 23/ EEC)
and Electromagnetic Compatibility (89/ 336/ EEC) Directives

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.
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.
This unit must be installed on a sturdy, level surface.
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.
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.
Note - The 540V remote control features separate
Skip and Search buttons
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.
The
Skip buttons
will skip between
chapters/ tracks on a DVD/ CD whilst the Search
buttons should be used to search within a
chapter/ track.
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.

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.
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.
Aux input - An additional stereo source component can be connected
here for output through the 540V
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.
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.
Note - RGB output must be selected in the Set-Up menu (see page 13)
Audio Connections (see page 10 for diagrams)
Tuner Connection - The 540V carries an internal AM/ FM tuner. The
supplied aerials for satisfactory reception are connected here.
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.
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.

SOME NOTES ON LOUDSPEAKERS
The 540V has five surround speaker terminals and connections for an
active or a passive subwoofer. Your speaker manual will give more ideas
about placement but the diagram above is an example of placement for
a standard 5.1 system.
3. Surround left and right loudspeakers - Surrounds should be
situated roughly at listening height and facing into the listening
position. It is suggested that they are wall mounted or alternatively
placed on suitable speaker stands.
4. Subwoofer - The location of any dedicated subwoofer will greatly
affect the quantity and also the quality of the low frequencies.
Please see your subwoofer manual for detailed positioning
information.
Connection
Connect the positive (red) to positive and negative (black) to negative on
all loudspeakers. Try to keep lengths of cabling approximately equal for
the front and rear "pairs" of speakers to keep resistance equal on the
540V.
Connection of your subwoofer depends on whether it is active (ie
powered with its own mains supply) or passive (connected only by
speaker wire). If your subwoofer is active, connect it via the ‘subwoofer
audio out’ phono plug by a single phono to phono cable. If it is passive,
it should be connected by speaker cable to the ‘subwoofer loudspeaker
terminals’.
1. Front left and right loudspeakers - These should be placed
equidistant to the left and right of your screen far enough apart to
ensure good stereo imaging. If they are too far apart or too close
to the corners of the room they will sound distracting and distant.
It may be desirable to experiment with the 'toe-in' of the units
(angling them towards the listening position) to optimise the front
speaker soundstage and imaging.
2. Centre channel loudspeakers - Ideally your centre channel
loudspeaker needs to be positioned directly above or below your
screen, facing the listening position.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS - THE DVD MENU DISPLAY
All of these menus are accessed from the blue Cambridge Logo screen
that appears when the DVD player is on with no disc in the tray. Pressing
the MENU button on the remote brings up the DVD menu display. It is
accessed by the cursors and select button in the centre of the remote.
Channel Delay: Allows the distance between the listening position and
the centre, subwoofer, rear left and rear right speakers to be individually
set (in cm). This is to enable the surround sound to be optimised for
different listening room sizes and shapes.
General Setup
Audio Setup Page
TV Display: Allows you to alter between 16.9 widescreen and 4.3
conventional image.
SPDIF output: Switches the digital audio section of the decoder/ output
between bitstream (Raw) and uncompressed stereo digital out (PCM).
The bitstream (Raw) must be selected to enable surround sound (Dolby
digital/ DTS) to be sent to the decoder and the audio digital output
(coaxial or optical). If a only a stereo speaker system is to be used then
it is only necessary to set this option to PCM, then only two channels of
information are decoded and sent to the stereo audio outputs (and the
coax/ optical digital audio output).
OSD Lang: Alters the language that the menu will appear in.
SCART: This switches the component video outputs between component
and RGB. RGB can only be used with the dedicated Cambridge Audio
RGB Trigger to Scart cable.
Screensaver: If the DVD is left on and inactive, it will switch to a
screensaver to minimise energy consumption and screen burn. It can be
switched off here.
LPCM Out: This sets the maximum data rate for the digital audio output
(not the actual data rate) for connection to an external decoding
amplifier. The internal decoder will downsample if the recorded material
has a higher audio data rate although it will not upsample if the
recorded material has a lower audio data rate.
AM Step Controls the increments in which the AM band is scanned.
Pro-Logic II: When switched on Dolby Pro-Logic II allows a surround
effect from a stereo source. The settings are as follows:
Speaker Set Up
Downmix: Switches between a 5.1 analogue output, a dual mono
