Introduction

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

The new 540D V2 was designed from the ground up for the Azur range 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 the new digital HDMI output. Great care has been taken with both the digital and analog video circuitry to achieve the best possible video performance whichever connection you use. The HDMI output is also capable of up-scaling to 720p or 1080i video formats for use with HD TV sets.

A newly developed proprietary Phase Locked Loop (PLL) system generates very low jitter audio clocks locked to the master video clock fed to the MPEG decoder. This PLL scheme and our normal attention to the DAC and anti-alias filtering circuits ensure the 540D V2 has audio performance equivalent to a dedicated CD player, a rare thing in a DVD player.

The jitter at the SPDIF digital output is also very low for best possible performance when using this connection with an AV receiver for surround-sound use.

Your 540D V2 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 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.

Matthew Bramble,

Cambridge Audio Technical Director and the DVD player design team.
