demodulated on the Control Bus Output. An RS232 port is also featured which allows the 640R to be controlled by C.I. systems.

In addition the unit features 'direct' IR/Control codes as well as toggle codes for some of their features to simplify programming custom installation systems. Special direct On/Off and Mute commands can be accessed on the supplied remote control for teaching into C.I. systems as follows:

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 AM/FM buttons to send On/Off commands. The Tuner AM/FM button also provides unique FM and AM commands to allow switching to a specific band.

A full code table and RS232 protocol for this product is available on the Cambridge Audio website at www.cambridge-audio.com.

Reset/Back-up memory

The 640R has a function that preserves the preset memory and other settings. In the event of a power failure, or if the power cord of the unit is disconnected from the mains outlet, the back-up memory will preserve the preset memory for approximately one week. If the power supply is interrupted for 7 days or longer, the memory settings will be erased.

If it is desired to reset all settings to their factory defaults (or in the unlikely event that the unit locks up due to an electrical discharge etc), with the unit on and out of Standby mode press and hold the DVD and Analog Stereo Direct buttons on the front panel for three seconds.
