Introduction

Thank you for purchasing this Cambridge Audio Azur range AV Receiver. We hope that you enjoy many years of pleasure from it.

The 340R is designed for excellent multi-channel surround-sound performance without compromising on music reproduction. As such the five fully discrete audiophile grade amplifiers are kept as separate as possible from the processing and input stages. A large power supply with low flux toroidal transformer and careful design of the audio stages ensure that the 340R can reproduce the dynamics and scale required for modern movie soundtracks whilst also being able to reproduce a genuinely musical performance with either stereo or multi-channel music sources.

Dolby, DTS and Pro Logic II decoding are featured for surround-sound decoding as well as Stereo and Stereo + Sub modes. Support for progressive scan Component video and HDMI allow use with the latest HD/HD ready video sources and TV's. All video inputs are fully freely assignable to any source, making the unit very flexible despite its relatively small size and socket count.

An Advanced Bass Management feature allows separate crossovers and trims for PLII, DD/DTS and Stereo + Sub modes.

Full RS232 control and IR Emitter In make it easy to integrate the 340R into a Custom Install situation if required.

Your 340R can only be as good as the system it is connected to. Please do not compromise on your partnering equipment. Naturally we particularly recommend equipment from the Cambridge Audio Azur range which includes CD and DVD players which have been designed to the same exacting standards as this product. Your dealer can also supply excellent quality Cambridge Audio interconnects to ensure your system realises its full potential.

Thank you for taking the time to read this manual, we do recommend you keep it for future reference.
