5.1/6.1 Direct in

DVD-A or SACD players etc can be connected to the 540R v3 via its 5.1/6.1 Direct inputs allowing multi-channel music playback from these sources.

DVD-A and SACD both support 5.1 analog output. The 540R v3's direct inputs also allow optional connection of Surround Back or Surround Left and Surround Right signals for compatibility with future 6.1 sources or external decoders.

To select the Direct Input press the 6.1 Direct button on the front panel or remote.

Note: These connections are pure analog for best sound quality and no DSP processing or Bass and Treble adjustment by the 540R v3 is possible.

Alternatively the 540R v3 features an External 2-Channel mode. This allows the 540R v3 to reproduce all the surround channels of suitable source material (Centre, Surrounds and Sub) whilst the Left and Right Front speakers are driven by an external power amplifier or other amplifier capable of supporting fixed level inputs (e.g. Cambridge Audio’s 740A or 840A amplifiers).
