To maximise the performance from this equipment we would encourage you to use only high quality viewing sources, amplification and capable loudspeakers. We particularly recommend amplification from the Cambridge Audio Azur range, which has been designed to the same exacting standards as our DVD players.
Cabling is also an area that should not be overlooked. Please do not compromise your system's performance by using poor quality cables to connect your DVD to your television and amplifier or the amplifiers' output to your loudspeakers. A system is only as good as its weakest link. Your dealer can supply quality Cambridge Audio interconnects that will ensure your whole system realises its full potential.
Now we invite you to sit back, relax and enjoy!
