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.

The disc will begin loading when the tray is closed. Pressing Play will also close the tray and start the Disc. 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. 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. 4. 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. 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. Centre channel loudspeakers - Ideally your centre channel loudspeaker needs to be positioned directly above or below your screen, facing the listening position. 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'. 2. 12 azur DVD receiver 540V DVD receiver 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 TV Display: Allows you to alter between 16. 9 widescreen and 4. 3 conventional image. OSD Lang: Alters the language that the menu will appear in. [. . . ] Check that the disc is not too scratched or dirty. Video There is no sound Ensure that the correct input is selected.
