Plug Fitting Instructions (UK Only)  
NOTE: THE MANUFACTURER IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY RADIO OR  
TV INTERFERENCE CAUSED BY UNAUTHORIZED MODIFICATIONS TO  
THIS EQUIPMENT. SUCH MODIFICATIONS COULD VOID THE USER  
AUTHORITY TO OPERATE THE EQUIPMENT.  
The cord supplied with this appliance is factory fitted with a UK mains plug  
fitted with a 5 amp fuse inside. If it is necessary to change the fuse, it is  
important that a 5 amp 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 mains 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:  
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for  
a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These  
limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful  
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates,  
uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and  
used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful  
interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee  
that interference will not occur in a particular installation.  
The wire which is coloured BLUE must be  
connected to the terminal which is marked  
with the letter ‘N’ or coloured BLACK.  
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television  
reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and  
on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or  
more of the following measures:  
The wire which is coloured BROWN must be  
connected to the terminal which is marked  
with the letter ‘Lor coloured RED.  
- Re-orient or relocate the receiving antenna.  
The wire which is coloured GREEN/YELLOW  
must be connected to the terminal which is  
marked with the letter ‘E’ or coloured GREEN.  
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.  
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to  
which the receiver is connected.  
If your model does not have an earth wire, then disregard this instruction.  
If a standard 13 amp (BS 1363) plug is used, a 5 amp fuse must be fitted,  
or if any other type of plug is used a 5 amp fuse must be fitted, either in the  
plug or adaptor, or on the distribution board.  
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Important safety instructions  
Please take a moment to read these notes before installing your 340R,  
as they will enable you to get the best performance and prolong the life  
of the unit. We advise you follow all instructions, heed all warnings and  
keep the instructions for future reference.  
Overloading  
Do not overload wall outlets or extension cord as this can result in a risk  
of fire or electric shock. Overloaded AC outlets, extension cords, frayed  
power cords, damaged or cracked wire insulation, and broken plugs are  
dangerous. They may result in a shock or fire hazard.  
Ventilation  
IMPORTANT - The unit will become hot when in use.  
Lightning  
For added protection during a thunderstorm, or when it is left  
unattended and unused for long period of time, unplug the unit from the  
wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent  
damage to the unit from lightning and power-line surges.  
Please ensure there is ample ventilation (at least 10cm clearance all  
round). Do not put any objects on top of this unit. Do not situate it on a  
rug or other soft surface and do not obstruct any air inlets or outlet  
grilles. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat  
registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce  
heat. Do not stack multiple units on top of each other. Do not place in  
an enclosed area such as a bookcase or in a cabinet without sufficient  
ventilation.  
Outdoor antenna grounding  
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the product, be  
sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some  
protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section  
810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NIPA No. 70-1984 (section 54  
of Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1) provides information with respect to  
proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the  
lead-in wire to an antenna-discharge unit, size of grounding conductors,  
location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes,  
and requirements for the grounding electrode.  
Do not obstruct the rear heat tunnel ventilation grille. Ensure that small  
objects do not fall through any ventilation grille. If this happens, switch  
off immediately, disconnect from the mains supply and contact your  
dealer for advice.  
Positioning  
Choose the installation location carefully. Avoid placing it in direct  
sunlight or close to a source of heat. Also avoid locations subject to  
vibration and excessive dust, cold or moisture. Do not place the unit on  
an unstable surface or shelf. The unit may fall, causing serious injury to  
a child or adult as well as serious damage to the product. Do not place  
other equipment on top of the unit.  
Cleaning  
To clean the unit, wipe its case with a dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use any  
cleaning fluids containing alcohol, ammonia or abrasives. Do not spray  
an aerosol at or near the amplifier.  
This unit must be installed on a sturdy, level surface. 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 however. When a cart is used, use caution when moving  
the cart to avoid injury from tip-over.  
Attachments  
Do not use attachments not recommended by your dealer as they may  
cause harm to the unit. Only use the specified attachments/accessories  
with this unit.  
WARNING - To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this  
unit to rain or moisture. This unit must not be used near water or  
exposed to dripping or splashing water or other liquids. No objects filled  
with liquid, such as vases, shall be placed on the unit. In the event,  
switch off immediately, disconnect from the mains supply and contact  
your dealer for advice.  
Servicing  
These units are not user serviceable, never attempt to repair,  
disassemble or reconstruct the unit if there seems to be a problem. A  
serious electric shock could result if this precautionary measure is  
ignored. In the event of a problem or failure, please contact your dealer.  
Contact the service department should any of these conditions occur:  
- When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.  
Electronic audio components have a running in period of around a week  
(if used several hours per day). This will allow the new components to  
settle down, the sonic properties will improve over this time.  
- If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the amp.  
- If the unit has been exposed to rain or water.  
Grounding and polarisation  
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding type plug.  
A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A  
grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The  
wide blade or third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided  
plug does not fit your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of  
the obsolete outlet.  
- If the unit does not operate normally after following the operation  
instructions, adjust only those controls that are covered by the  
operation instructions.  
- If the unit has been dropped or damaged in any way.  
- When the unit exhibits a distinct negative change in performance.  
Power sources  
IMPORTANT  
The unit should be operated only from the type of power source  
indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power-  
supply to your home, consult your product dealer or local Power  
Company.  
If the unit is run at a very high level, a sensor will detect a temperature  
rise and show "PROTECTION OVERLOAD" on the display. The unit will  
then go into Standby mode. It cannot be switched on again until the  
temperature has fallen to a more normal level.  
This unit has been designed to be left in Standby mode when not in use,  
this will increase the life of the amplifier (this is true with all electronic  
equipment). To turn the unit off completely switch off on the rear panel.  
If you do not intend to use this unit for a long period of time, unplug it  
from the mains socket.  
Power cord protection  
The unit must be installed in a manner that makes disconnection of the  
mains plug from the mains socket outlet (or appliance connector from the  
rear of the unit) possible. Where the mains plug is used as the disconnect  
device, the disconnect device shall remain readily operable. Protect the  
power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs,  
convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the unit.  
Be sure to insert each power cord securely. To prevent hum and noise, do  
not bundle the interconnect leads with the power cord or speaker leads.

FM aerial  
Connect an aerial to the FM 75 ohm socket (a simple wire aerial is  
supplied only for temporary use). Extend the lead and move the aerial  
around until you get the best reception. For continued use, we strongly  
recommended using a 75ohm outdoor FM aerial.  
Connect to source equipment using stereo phono cables (stereo 2RCA-  
2RCA). Tape/MD/CDR recorder/players require two sets of stereo  
phono/RCA cables, one for recording, one for listening.  
AM loop aerial

Out  
Connect each end of the single length antenna to the antenna  
terminals. Place the antenna as far from the main system as possible to  
prevent unwanted noise and to obtain optimum reception. If the AM loop  
aerial provided does not receive sufficient reception, it may be  
necessary to use an outdoor AM aerial.

HDMI connections  
HDMI (High-Definition Multi-Media Interface) is an all digital connection  
that can carry both audio and video in one cable. Direct digital transfer  
of video and support for various types of High Definition video content  
make this the best connection type for picture quality. The two HDMI  
inputs can be assigned to any one of the DVD, Video 1, Video 2, CD/Aux,  
Tape/MD and 5.1 Direct inputs (see the ‘Assigning HDMI sources’  
section of this manual for more information).  
The sources will also normally supply audio to the TV/Monitor over the  
HDMI connection, this will be separate from the audio that the 340R  
decodes.  
In order for the 340R itself to receive audio (Including surround-sound)  
from HDMI (or DVI) sources a Co-axial (SPDIF) or Optical (Toslink) digital  
audio connection must be made from each source to the 340R.  
DVI switching can be supported simply by using DVI to HDMI adaptors as  
these two connection types are compatible. When using DVI only video will  
be passed to the TV/Monitor. Again a Co-axial (SPDIF) or Optical (Toslink)  
digital audio connection must be made from each source to the 340R for  
it to be able to receive audio and decode surround sound etc.  
The 340R routes the HDMI outputs of DVD players, set-top boxes etc to  
the TV/Monitor without any internal processing. Consult both the source  
and TV's manuals to find out how to set the best modes for best picture  
quality. As the 340R only routes/switches HDMI it is not involved in  
these settings itself.

340R setup  
The setup of the 340R is a 5 stage process as follows:  
1. Speaker configuration.  
2. Speaker delay  
To setup your speaker configuration, press the OSD button on the  
remote to activate the On-Screen Display (OSD). Note: You must be  
connected to a TV/Monitor by Composite or S-Video connections first.  
Highlight the ‘Speaker Configuration’ menu by using the Volume

‘Large’ or ‘Small’ are used to describe each speaker in terms of bass  
response, they do not necessarily reflect the actual physical size of the  
speaker.  
Large = Speakers with an extended low frequency response of  
approximately 20-40Hz to 16-20kHz (floorstanders or high quality larger  
stand-mounted speakers).  
1
Front Left and Right speakers  
For stereo and multi-channel sound.  
Small = Speakers with a less extended low frequency response of  
approximately 80-100Hz to 16-20kHz (small stand-mounted, bookshelf  
or satellite speakers).  
2
Centre speaker  
For dialogue and centre sounds. Ideally position at a similar height to the  
front left and right speakers (above or below the TV/monitor). Using a  
centre speaker from the same manufacturer/range as used for the front  
left and right speakers is advisable. This ‘timbre matching’ allows  
surround effects to flow more naturally from left to right without obvious  
transitions between the speakers.  
Setting each speaker allows the 340R to perform what is called Bass  
Management and to direct low frequency bass from music and the Low  
Frequency Effects channel of surround sound material to those  
speakers best able to reproduce it. If you do not wish to use any of the  
speakers change it’s setting to ‘None’.  
3
Surround Left and Right speakers  
The Subwoofer output can also be set to ‘Yes’ or ‘No’. If no sub is being  
used make sure this setting is set to ‘No’ to allow the 340R to re-direct  
the bass information in this channel to other speakers.  
For ambient and multi-channel sound. Floorstanding speakers should be  
angled towards the listening position. Bookshelf/standmount speakers  
should be wall mounted or used with dedicated speaker stands,  
positioned at or above ear height.  
Note: The 340R will force some speakers to certain settings in some of  
the following circumstances!  
4
Subwoofer  
The Front Left and Right speakers may be ‘Large’ or ‘Small’ but never  
‘None’ as they are always required for any type of music/movie  
reproduction.  
For improving the bass in your system, as well as reproducing dedicated  
LFE cinema effects when playing Dolby Digital or DTS encoded discs.  
Your subwoofer can often be placed almost anywhere in the room as  
bass is less directional, but experimentation with positioning is  
recommended.  
Bass must always be reproduced by either the Front Left and Right or  
Subwoofer channel (or both). The 340R will thus not allow a  
combination of ‘Small’ front speakers and no subwoofer.  
If the Front Left and Right cannot reproduce low frequency bass a  
Subwoofer must be used i.e. If the Front Left and Right are set as ‘Small’  
the Sub must be Set to ‘Yes’.  
The 5.1 relates to the maximum number of speakers that can be used,  
as the Centre, Sub and Surround speakers can all be deleted if required  
(although of course performance is reduced). For example, if you choose  
not to use a Centre Channel speaker you can set this to ‘None’ in the  
settings as shown later and the 340R will automatically redirect the  
centre channel audio information into the Left and Right Front channels,  
creating what is known as a ‘Phantom Centre’.  
Also, setting the Front Left and Right as ‘Small’ will always set the other  
speakers as ‘Small’ (and the Sub to ‘Yes’). This is because LFE/ bass  
information should not be redirected to the surround channels.  
To store the setting simply come back out of the OSD (pressing the OSD  
button always moves back one menu item, and then exits and stores  
from the main menu screen).  
Similarly, you might decide not to use a subwoofer if your main Left and  
Right speakers are capable of reproducing enough bass for a satisfying  
music/movie experience. The 340R will then automatically re-direct the  
bass from the Subwoofer/Low Frequency Effect channel to the Left and  
Right Front Speakers.

azur 340R  
2. Speaker delay  
3. Level calibration  
Because the speakers in a surround sound system are usually different  
distances from the listener the 340R incorporates the ability to apply a  
variable digital delay to each of the channels so that the sound from  
each arrives at the same time at the listening position for best surround-  
sound effect. Each pair of speakers (i.e. Front Left and Right or Surround  
Left and Right) are subject to the same delay and so must be situated  
equidistant from the listener.  
The 340R allows level calibration to match the acoustic level between  
different types/sizes or even manufacturers of speaker that may be  
being used for each channel. This is achieved by adjusting the relative  
level of each speaker through the ‘Level Calibration’ menu in the OSD.  
The basic process is to listen to or measure with an SPL meter (more  
accurate and recommended but not essential) the level of sound  
produced by each speaker and set relative levels for each speaker so  
that they all sound the same loudness at the normal listening position.  
The 340R incorporates a Test Signal Generator (broad-band white noise)  
to facilitate this.  
To set the delay times simply measure the distances from the listening  
position to each speaker as shown in the following diagram:  
1
Set the unit to a normal listening level or half maximum volume  
approximately. Press the OSD button on the remote control then select  
the ‘Level Calibration’ menu. Now turn on the test signal by highlighting  
this item and pressing the Left or Right arrows:

Return To Menu  
: [OSD]  
Note: No delay setting for the subwoofer is necessary.  
Set the distances in the OSD Speaker Delay menu to the nearest value  
in metres (1 foot = 0.3 metres). The speed of sound is approx 340  
metres per second, the 340R thus introduces approx 3mS of delay per  
metre of distance set.  
A “rushing” or “hissy” sound should be heard, initially through the Front  
Left Speaker.  
You can now move up and down the channels using Volume Up/Down  
on the remote. Each time a new channel is selected the test signal will  
be heard to move to that channel. Compare the loudness of all channels  
as heard at the listening position.  
Go to the ‘Speaker Delay Menu’ and highlight each speaker in turn. Set  
the distance to the nearest value to that which you measured by using  
the Left and Right arrows (the values do not need to be exact):

Return To Menu  
: [OSD]  
Press the OSD button to exit the menu.  
Note: In addition to the delays as set above Dolby Pro Logic II playback  
also requires an extra 15 milliseconds delay to the surround channels  
only. This extra delay is part of the Dolby Pro Logic II specification and  
ensures that sound from the surrounds arrives just after sound from the  
front reducing the audibility of sound leakage from the front to the  
surround speakers. Because the relationship between the Dolby Digital  
and Dolby Pro Logic II two delays is fixed (15mS extra to the surround  
channels), it is only necessary to set the delay by measuring the  
distances as we have described. The 340R will automatically provide the  
appropriate extra delay whenever you switch to a Pro Logic Mode.  
Now adjust the channels so they all sound the same (in terms of  
loudness only, channels of different frequency responses can sound  
different in terms of the “tone” of the sound i.e. more or less hissy).  
Pick the channel that sounds most different and select it to listen to the  
test signal. Now adjust the relative level in dB (using Arrow left/right on  
the remote) and continue comparing it to other channels until it is of  
equal loudness. The level can be adjusted up to + or - 10dB in 1dB  
steps. Repeat the process with the next loudest channel etc. Once all  
channels sound the same in terms of loudness, press the OSD button  
again to save the settings and exit the menu.

4. Source setup  
5. Assigning video sources  
The next step is to select each source input in turn on the 340R and tell  
the unit the type of audio connection you want to use for that source  
(Analog or Digital input).  
All of the 340R’s rear panel video inputs (S-Video/Composite,  
Component and HDMI) are freely assignable to the DVD, Video 1, Video  
2, Tape/MD, CD/Aux and 5.1 Direct sources for maximum flexibility.  
The 340R remembers this setting individually for every source input and  
automatically recalls it as and when you change source input.

setting the same source to different video inputs.  
Return To Menu  
: [OSD]  
Analog inputs will require a stereo phono/RCA to phono/RCA cable  
connection to the 340R. Digital inputs will require either a 75ohm digital  
type phono/RCA to phono/RCA co-axial cable (SPDIF) or an optical fibre  
cable (TOSLINK). The 340R will automatically use whichever is  
connected. Do not make connections to both the Optical and Co-axial  
inputs for a source.  
The 340R has two HMDI (High Definition Multi-Media Interface) inputs  
and one HDMI output. HDMI is a fully digital audio/video system that  
passes the picture and audio to the screen in digital format for best  
possible picture quality. DVI (Digital Video Interface) is a subset of HDMI  
that uses different connectors and only passes digital video to the  
TV/Monitor (no audio). The 340R is fully compatible with DVI in that  
simple passive DVI-HDMI adaptors are available which allow the  
conversion of the DVI connector to an HDMI format connector (and back  
again if required) for routing via the 340R. The 340R can switch both  
types of signal.  
Note: Video 3, Tuner, Tape and 5.1 Direct only have analog connections  
and so are not selectable in this menu.  
Once you have set the audio types exit the OSD to save.  
This setting can also be changed at any time without using the OSD by  
pressing the Input Mode button on the front panel (or Audio Type button  
on the remote). This will then cycle between analog or digital input types  
for the currently selected source; as usual they will then be remembered  
the next time you return to that source.  
The 340R performs HDMI switching, not processing, it routes the HDMI  
signals from the source equipment to the TV/Monitor without any  
processing, so as far as the 340R is concerned there is no setup  
involved other than to assign the three inputs to a desired source. The  
340R does not receive audio or video over the HDMI, so for surround-  
sound decoding etc, an audio connection must also be made from your  
HDMI source to the 340R. As with other sources this can be analog or  
digital audio. A digital audio SPDIF/Toslink connection is preferred and  
will be required if it is desired to decode surround-sound for the HDMI  
sources.  
Press the OSD button to exit the menu.  
HDMI Pre-Emphasis  
The HDMI interface is generally specified for transmission over cable  
lengths up to 5m. Longer cable runs can sometimes be accommodated  
if very high quality HDMI cables are used. The 340R is able to apply  
some pre-emphasis to the HDMI signals to allow for cable losses in such  
situations. For cable runs less than 5m HDMI Pre Emphasis should  
generally be ‘Off’. For runs greater than 5m HDMI Pre Emphasis should  
be ‘On’.  
Note: The maximum cable length possible depends on cable quality and  
to some extent on the resolution of the video being transmitted (i.e.  
higher bit rate signals are harder to transmit over long distances). Use  
only good quality HDMI cables. Poor quality cables can have problems  
with HDMI at only 5m and only very high quality cables will work at  
distances over 5m.  
Select the ‘Output Setup’ menu, highlight ‘HDMI PRE’ and select either  
‘Off’ or ‘On’:

azur 340R  
Surround sound modes  
The 340R has several music and home-cinema listening modes  
available. Before we describe how to operate the 340R, below is a brief  
guide to surround sound formats:  
Dolby Digital  
Known also as DD (3/2) or DD 5.1, provides (up to) 5.1 output from  
suitable encoded Dolby Digital material, with 5 main channels (Front  
Left, Front Right, Centre, Surround Left, Surround Right) and a Low  
Frequency Effects Channel for the subwoofer, all discretely encoded.  
Decoding Dolby Digital requires a Dolby Digital encoded DVD disc and a  
digital connection from the source equipment (Such as a DVD player) to  
the 340R.  
Note: Dolby Digital and DTS formats can sometimes carry less channels  
than their maximum such as Dolby Digital (2/0) which means a Dolby  
Digital encoded signal which is actually only carrying a two channel  
stereo signal (other channels inactive).  
DTS  
Known also as DTS (3/2) or DTS 5.1, DTS provides (up to) 5.1 output  
from suitable encoded DTS material, with 5 main channels (Front Left,  
Front Right, Centre, Surround Left, Surround Right) and a Low Frequency  
Effects Channel for the subwoofer, all discretely encoded. Decoding DTS  
requires a suitably encoded DTS disc and a digital connection from the  
source equipment to the 340R.  
Pro Logic II  
The replacement for original Pro Logic, Pro Logic II is a technology where  
5 channels (Front Left, Front Right, Centre, Surround Left, Surround  
Right) are encoded into a Stereo mix by an analog matrix process. Dolby  
Pro Logic II material can be played back by normal Stereo equipment (as  
Stereo) or decoded into 5 channel surround-sound.  
Dolby Pro Logic II is compatible with the earlier 4 channel (Left, Centre,  
Right and mono Surround) Dolby Pro Logic system (which was the  
decoding counterpart to Dolby Surround encoding) as used widely on  
Video tapes, TV broadcasts and earlier films.  
Note: Pro Logic does not include a Low Frequency Effects channel for  
the Subwoofer, but the 340R can create a Subwoofer output (for 5.1) via  
Bass management. Refer to the ‘Advanced bass management’ section  
in the ‘Operating instructions’ part of this manual.  
Dolby Digital EX  
Known also as DD (3/3) or DD 6.1, an enhanced form of Dolby Digital.  
On top of the normal discretely encoded 5.1 channels DD EX provides an  
extra 6th channel (Surround Back) matrix encoded into the rear  
surrounds. As DD EX 6.1 is backwards compatible with DD 5.1 the 340R  
can play back DD EX material as 5.1. The 6th Surround Back signal is  
then present in both Left and Right Rear Surrounds forming a phantom  
rear centre.  
DTS-ES 6.1 Matrix, DTS-ES 6.1 Discrete  
Enhanced forms of DTS which also encode an extra 6th channel  
(Surround Back) into the rear surrounds. Both DTS EX Matrix and DTS EX  
Discrete are backwards compatible with DTS 5.1 so the 340R can play  
back DTS ES Matrix or Discrete material as 5.1, the 6th Surround Back  
signal being present in both Left and Right Rear Surrounds as a  
phantom rear centre.  
DSP modes  
These modes allow a realistic surround-sound experience from source  
material that has no encoding at all. The surround sound effect is  
achieved by Digital Signal Processing of the Analog or Digital stereo  
source used. Five modes are possible: Movie, Music, Room, Theatre and  
Hall.

If no button is pressed for 4 or 5 seconds the 340R returns to normal  
operation without changing mode.  
Stereo Modes - Selects 2 channel Stereo operation for stereo material,  
pressing again selects Stereo + Sub mode.  
This is a digitally processed mode that allows bass and treble controls,  
and sub generation if required. The input can be either analog (in which  
case it will be turned into digital by 24 bit A/D conversion) or natively  
digital.  
Digital inputs can be connected to the SPDIF outputs from Tuner's or CD  
Players etc (LPCM) or the digital outputs of DVD players (set to  
Bitstream/Raw) playing 2-channel Dolby Digital (2/0) or DTS (2/0)  
material.  
Pro Logic II - Selects Pro Logic II decoding for use with appropriate matrix  
encoded material.  
Dolby Digital / DTS Modes - Selects a range of digital surround modes  
with the appropriately digitally encoded material (only). These modes  
are for use with the digital outputs (set to Bitstream/Raw) from DVD  
players or satellite receivers etc. In order for the 340R to allow selection  
of these modes a valid input digital bitstream must be present. This is  
because the 340R needs to read the incoming flags in order to  
determine the type of decoding which can be used and present any  
options that might be possible.  
If no bitstream is present, pressing this button will result in the 340R  
displaying ‘MODE UNAVAILABLE’.  
Incoming Dolby Digital/DTS streams are always shown on the front  
panel display as Dolby Digital (x/x) or DTS (x/x), where the bracketed  
numbers indicate the active channels in the source material. Active  
output channels are shown by the icons on the right hand side of the  
front panel display. Possible incoming DD/DTS types are:

Dynamic Range Control  
This setting controls the dynamic range of Dolby Digital or DTS movie  
soundtracks by compressing the dynamics in four stages to limit the  
difference in level between loud and quiet passages in the movie.  
Radio Data Systems (RDS)  
RDS is a method for the transmission of additional information from  
local radio stations. It is only available in FM mode. RDS will only work if  
the local broadcasting stations have RDS transmission and the signal is  
strong enough.  
This can be a useful feature when watching movies late at night for  
instance. Four settings are possible:  
Press the Display button on the remote and go through the displayed  
functions. There are functions for PS, PTY, CT and RT:  
DRC=0/4 No Compression (normal full dynamic range playback)  
PS (Station Name) - current station name will be shown  
DRC=1/4  
PTY (Program Type) - current name type of the program will be shown  
CT (Clock/Time) - current time from Radio Station will be displayed.  
DRC=2/4  
DRC=3/4  
Note: Clock/Time will be only transmitted from local radio station once  
a minute. If the Clock - Time is not available the message ‘NO CT’ will  
appear briefly on the display.  
DRC=4/4 Greatest Compression (reduced dynamic range playback)  
DRC can be accessed by the DRC button on the remote, DRC=0/4 etc is  
displayed, pressing the button again moves to the next setting. When  
finished make no adjustment for a few seconds and the 340R will save  
the settings and exit the menu.  
RT (Radiotext) - some Text messages will be shown.  
Note: DRC only works for Dolby Digital or DTS source material which  
supports this feature.  
Program Type Search (PTY)

azur 340R  
Audio split mode  
The 340R is able to allow the user to listen to one source whilst viewing  
another. For instance this can be useful if it is desired to watch a sports  
channel from say a set-top/satellite video source whilst getting audio  
commentary from the Radio Tuner. Another example might be to listen  
to a CD whilst watching a video channel, perhaps waiting for a TV  
programme to start.  
Note: These adjustments work in the digitally processed Stereo and  
Surround modes but not in 5.1 Direct mode.  
The Sub/LFE channel (for DD / DTS material) can also be trimmed by up  
to -10dB in 1dB steps useful for late night listening or other situations  
where it might be desired to reduce the low frequency effect level  
perhaps temporarily.  
First select the Video channel you wish to watch in the normal way. Now  
press and hold down the button for the channel you wish to listen to.  
After 4 seconds approx ‘Audio Split’ will scroll across the display and you  
will now be listening to the other source.  
LFE Trim adjustments can also be made from the remote without the  
OSD by pressing the LFE Trim button and using the Vol Up/Down  
buttons.  
To cancel audio split mode simply select a new source and normal  
operation will be resumed.  
Advanced bass management  
The 340R also features an advanced bass management system which  
when turned on allows the user to set different crossover frequencies for  
different modes of operation, plus a special Bass Augment function.

In normal operation (Bass Augment Off) if the Front speakers are set to  
‘Small’ (in the ‘Speaker Config’ menu) their bass is re-directed by high-  
pass filtering the Fronts and sending that bass to the Sub channel (i.e.  
bass is removed from the Fronts and sent to the Sub). If they are set to  
‘Large’ no filtering takes place and no bass is sent from them to the Sub  
channel.  
Return To Menu  
: [OSD]  
The crossover adjustment in the Sub Setup menu is used to determine  
the point as which this transition is made. In other words it sets the  
frequency below which bass is routed away from any ‘Small’ speakers  
and into the Subwoofer channel. It should be understood that bass sent  
to the subwoofer by bass management is different to bass encoded into  
the surround-sound material as a dedicated Low Frequency Effects  
channel. The crossover point can be adjusted from 40Hz to 150Hz in  
10Hz steps.  
However with the Bass Augment function On and the Front speakers set  
to ‘Large’, bass from the Front Left and Right is now sent to the Sub  
channel without any filtering of the Front Left and Right taking place (i.e.  
these channels remain full range). In other words, the bass in the Sub  
channel is augmented by extra bass from the Front Left and Right  
channels. If the Front Left and Right are set ‘Small’, Bass Augment has  
no effect and operation is the same as for Bass Augment Off.  
Bass Augment can be On or Off separately for DD/DTS or PLII operation.  
If the source material contains a separate LFE channel (ie DD or DTS  
material) this is always routed to the subwoofer (if it is On) and is not  
affected by the crossover setting. Note: Pro Logic II does not actually  
have a LFE channel.  
There is no Sub Augment function for Stereo + Sub mode because in  
this mode if the Front speakers are set to ‘Large’ they will actually always  
be unfiltered.

Advanced bass management continued  
Custom installation (C.I.) use  
IR Emitter  
Bass Augment can be a useful function with PLII material because this  
encoding type does not include an LFE Channel. This would normally  
mean that if all the speakers in your setup were set to ‘Large’, the  
subwoofer would in fact be inactive (as no bass has been re-directed  
plus there is no LFE channel). If it is desired to have the subwoofer  
running with all Large Speakers and PLII encoding, enable Bass  
Augment for PLII and then set the Crossover point and level by ear. A Sub  
channel will now be created from the Front Left and Right channels  
without filtering them. As with all adjustments it is a good idea to  
experiment to determine what works best with your particular setup.  
The 340R features an IR Emitter input that allows  
modulated IR remote control commands to be received  
In  
electrically by the unit. These control commands are  
typically generated by custom installation (multi-room)  
systems or remote IR receiver systems. An RS232 port is  
also featured which allows the 340R to be controlled by C.I.  
systems.  
RS232C  
In addition the 340R features ‘direct’ IR/Control codes as well as toggle  
codes for many of their features to simplify programming custom  
installation systems. Special direct On/Off commands can be accessed  
on the supplied remote control for teaching into C.I. systems as follows:  
Note: In Advanced Sub On mode, the Subwoofer level control in the ‘Level  
Calibration’ menu will be inactive. This is because this setting is  
overwritten by the three appropriate Sub Trim settings from the ‘Advanced  
Sub’ menu.  
1. Press and hold the Standby/On button on the remote control. The  
remote first generates it's standby (toggle) command. Keep the  
button held down, after 12 seconds an AV receiver ‘On’ command will  
be generated. If the button is kept held down for a further 12  
seconds, an AV receiver ‘Off’ command is generated.  
Repeat this procedure with the Mute, Sub On/Off, Stereo Mono and  
Tuner FM/AM buttons to send On/Off commands. The Tuner FM/AM  
button also provides unique FM and AM commands to allow switching to  
a specific band.
