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  
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.

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.

Tuner  
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 TVs 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  
(LT/ RT), a virtual surround (where a "surround" effect is created from  
two speakers) and a stereo signal from the stereo analogue output.  
On/ Off - Switches PLII on and off.  
Mode - Switches between Dolby Pro-Logic II music and Dolby Pro  
Logic II movies.  
Front, Centre and Rear Speaker Settings: adjusts the DVD decoder to  
compensate between large and small speakers and the size of the  
signal it sends to the subwoofer.  
Panorama - This is an additional setting that adds additional space  
and depth to the Pro Logic II settings.

Dimensions - This sets speaker sizes for Pro Logic II- it is independent  
of your other speaker settings.  
Preference Page (only accessible when resume is cancelled and a  
disc is in the player).  
Centre Width - allows you to artificially increase the width of your front  
speakers by means of delay.  
TV Type - The DVD player can be set for either a European PAL television  
or an NTSC unit. Alternatively AUTO will allow the DVD to adjust  
automatically.  
Dolby Digital setup/ Dynamic: This allows the adjustment of the Dynamic  
compression applied to the audio. This can be useful when listening to  
action films (large dynamic range between talking and explosions) late  
at night. When set to maximum this will force the quiet and loud parts  
of the signal to a similar level.  
PBC - This setting allows chapter skip during VCD playback.  
Audio Setting - Setting a particular language here will mean the DVD will  
automatically look for that dialogue on any DVD inserted into the  
machine.  
Channel Trim: Allows adjustment of the decoder levels for each  
individual channel in turn to optimise audio setup.  
Subtitle - Setting a particular language here means that the DVD will  
look for this particular language. Setting it to the same as the Audio  
setting will cancel the subtitles out. Press the button on the remote to  
restore same language subtitles.  
Please note that all adjustments made to level and delay in the Audio  
Setup Page ONLY affect the speaker and decoder outputs. The digital  
outputs are unaffected by these adjustments.  
Disc Menu - This allows the language to be changed on the Scene  
selection/ Special features menu where permissible by the disc.  
Video Setup Page  
Parental - Adjusting this blocks films above a set classification level (ie  
PG13) from playing on the player if children are using it if you wish.  
The various settings on this screen are all concerned with fine tuning  
your DVD picture. You can adjust settings here whilst leaving the  
television settings as they are.  
Password - For editing the above settings. The password default is 7890  
and can be changed by correctly entering the default followed by your  
new password.  
Default - This will restore all of the original factory settings if required.
