Remember your 640R can only be as good as the system it is connected to. Please do not compromise on your source equipment, speaker package or video and audio cabling. Naturally we particularly recommend DVD/CD players or other source equipment from the Cambridge Audio Azur range, which have been designed to the same exacting standards as our receivers. Your dealer can also supply excellent quality Cambridge Audio interconnects to ensure your system realises its full potential.
Thanks for taking the time to read this manual, we do recommend you keep it for future reference.
