INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing this Cambridge Audio 640T DAB/FM tuner. The 640T represents the coming together of two very successful areas of Cambridge Audio's product lines. The FM section of the 640T is the descendant of a long line of Cambridge Audio tuners dating back to the late 1960's, which recently included such award winning models as the T500. The Digital section has a shorter lineage but no less pedigree- our two previous digital tuners have both been multiple award-winning units.

About this unit

The 640T uses a combined DAB/FM module developed to offer high performance in both the digital and analogue bands. This ensures that you will be able to listen to all of your favourite radio stations irrespective of whether they have made the move to digital broadcasting. A full range of presets are available in both FM and DAB bands. The 640T also retains the input "loop through" feature that we fit to our other digital radios, that allows you to keep a high quality analogue tuner running alongside the 640T without using an additional input on your amplifier.

Externally the 640T has the same high quality aluminium casework as the rest of the Azur range and is available in the same black and silver finishes. A specific version of the Azur remote is provided, giving full remote control of the tuner functions in an attractive and easy to use handset. A full set of controls are also on the front panel.

The 640T can only be as good as the system it is connected to. Please do not compromise on your amplifier, speakers or cabling. We would, in particular, recommend amplification and cabling from the Cambridge Audio range with suitably revealing loudspeakers.

Now we invite you to sit back, relax and enjoy!
