Cambridge Audio 80 Series manual 85/86/89 DVD player, Introduction

INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on purchasing this Cambridge Audio 80 Series DVD player. We hope that you will enjoy many years of rewarding ownership.

The DVD85, 86 and 89 models all support normal CD and DVD discs, while the DVD89 is also a ‘universal’ player that supports DVD-Audio (DVD-A) and Super Audio CD (SACD). These new audiophile formats allow even greater sound quality than CD/DVD and also allow multi- channel surround-sound audio.

In addition, the DVD85, 86 and 89 all support DivX® playback for good quality highly compressed video and audio often downloaded from the internet. The DVD89 also features the very latest DVD-D and HDMI outputs for true all digital transmission of video to the TV screen for the very best picture quality currently available.

To maximise the performance from this equipment we would encourage you to use only high quality viewing equipment, amplification and loudspeakers. Of course we particularly recommend amplification from the Cambridge Audio range, which has been designed to the same exacting standards as this DVD player.

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 either 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.

Thanks for taking the time to read this manual; we do recommend you keep it for future reference.
