Thank you for purchasing this Cambridge Audio Azur range AV Receiver. We hope that you e njoy many years of pleasure from it. The new 540R v3 is designed for excellent multi-channel surround- sound performance without compromising on music reproduction. As such the six fully discrete audiophile grade amplifiers are kept as separate as possible from the processing and input stages. A large power supply with low flux toroidal transformer and careful design of the audio stages ensure that the 540R v3 can reproduce the dynamics and scale required for modern movie soundtracks whilst also being able to reproduce a genuinely musical performance with either stereo or multi- channel music sources. For the new v3 model we have made several enhancements. We have added 2 in 1 out HDMI switching, tweaked the amplifier designs for lower distortion, added a Stereo + Sub mode (digitally created sub) and post-processing modes with PLII to allow creation of a 6.1 output from 2.0/5.1 DD or DTS material. All video inputs are now fully freely assignable to any source, making the unit very flexible despite its relatively small size and socket count. A new Advanced Bass Management feature allows separate crossovers and trims for PLII/Neo, DD/DTS and Stereo + Sub modes, plus a Bass Augment function allows the front speakers to remain Large whilst also sending front left and right bass to the subwoofer. A full RS232 control protocol has been implemented and IR Emitter In added making it easy to integrate the 540R v3 into a Custom Install situation. As usual all this proprietary engineering is housed within our acoustically damped chassis with an Azur navigator remote control supplied Your 540R v3 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 includes CD and DVD players 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.

Plug Fitting Instructions (UK Only) The cord supplied with this appliance is factory fitted with a UK mains plug fitted with a 3 amp fuse inside. If it is necessary to change the fuse, it is important that a 3 amp one is used. If the plug needs to be changed because it is not suitable for your socket, or becomes damaged, it should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted following the wiring instructions below. The plug must then be disposed of safely, as insertion into a mains socket is likely to cause an electrical hazard. Should it be necessary to fit a 3-pin BS mains plug to the power cord the wires should be fitted as shown in this diagram. The colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug. Connect them as follows: The wire which is coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured BLACK. The wire which is coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured RED. The wire which is coloured GREEN/YELLOW must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter E or coloured GREEN. If your model does not have an earth wire, then disregard this instruction. If a standard 13 amp (BS 1363) plug is used, a 3 amp fuse must be fitted, or if any other type of plug is used a 3 amp fuse must be fitted, either in the plug or adaptor, or on the distribution board.
