Cambridge Audio is renowned for embracing
new technology and making it available to a wider audience at a
remarkable price. This is the case with HDMI and the Azur 340R 5.1 HDMI
AV Receiver � the latest in a growing Azur range of AV receivers. The
340R features 5.1 multi-channel output and 2 in 1 out HDMI pass through
so that, for instance, an HDMI DVD player and Sky HD� set-top box can be
connected with just one cable to the screen. A high quality Crystal
CS42518 multi DAC also provides crystal clear sound reproduction for
music or movie use.



After critical research with the help of user panels, it was concluded
that a large proportion required a high performance 5.1 receiver rather
than a compromised 6.1/7.1 product. The 340R then is the ultimate entry
level home cinema receiver, perfect for users who only want to run a 5.1
speaker setup but don�t wish to trade-off against audio or video
quality.

The Azur 340R is designed for excellent multi channel surround-sound
performance without compromising on music reproduction. To this end,
five 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 the 340R 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.



Dolby, DTS 5.1 and Pro Logic II are featured for surround-sound decoding
as well as Stereo and Stereo + Sub modes. Advanced Bass Management
allows separate crossovers and trims for all these formats. All the
340R�s video inputs are fully assignable for ease of use.



The 340R has an attractive On Screen Display (OSD) so that menus can be
easily accessed for the simplest set-up imaginable. An on-board AM/FM
tuner offers 30 station presets making tuning into the radio extremely
simple.
