Introduction

Thank you for purchasing this Cambridge Audio Sonata DV30 DVD/CD player. Like all Cambridge Audio products, the Sonata DV30 adheres to three core principles – stunning performance, ease of use and incredible value.

The new Sonata DV30 was designed from the ground up based on a new and highly evolved DVD chipset, which includes the ability to reproduce a progressive scan image in both PAL and NTSC formats via either analog component video or digital HDMI output. Great care has been taken with both the digital and analog video circuitry to achieve the best possible audio and video performance, whichever connection you use. A Digital to Analog converter IC from Wolfson ensures audiophile replay of DVD or CD soundtracks. The HDMI output is also capable of up-scaling DVDs to the latest 720p, 1080i or 1080p video formats for use with HD TV sets.

Your Sonata DV30 can only be as good as the system it is connected to and we particularly recommend equipment from the Cambridge Audio Sonata range. The matching AR30 (FM/AM, and Sirius radio-ready in the US) and DR30 (DAB/FM) 2.1 channel receivers have been designed together with the DV30. Both of these feature trigger outputs to sync with your DV30, and can be seamlessly controlled with your DV30 from one remote. They also are supplied with a matching DD30 dock for iPod. Your speakers are an important part of the equation and we recommend speakers from our Sirocco range which have been designed to the same exacting standards as this product and are a perfect acoustic and aesthetic match.

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