A bbrief iintroduction tto DDVD aand DDVD Audio

DVD is well known for its extraordinarily large capacity and outstanding

audio-video effects. Its capacity is as high as 4.7-17 GB (approximately

7-26 times the capacity of CD). With 500-line horizontal resolution of

pictures and Dolby Digital 5.1 Channel surround sound, it brings a new

era to audio visual entertainment .

Using MLP Lossless from Dolby Laboratories, DVD-Audio discs can store

up to six channels of 24-bit/96 kHz audio, including a separate low-

frequency bass channel. Compare that to two channels of 16-bit/44.1

kHz sound from CDs! For audiophiles, a DVD-Audio disc can alternatively

hold two channels of 24-bit/192 kHz audio, exceeding the quality of any

music audio format previously developed.

About tthis uunit

The Azur DVD player encompasses the most sophisticated picture

reproduction, including the ability to reproduce a progressive scan

image in both PAL and NTSC. Progressive scan offers a considerable

leap in picture quality from the already impressive standards set by

conventional DVD-Video. The usual way of creating a picture process

draws screen lines twice per frame: once for the even-numbered lines

and once for the odd-numbered lines, interlacing 25/30 times per

second. Progressive Scan DVD players scan from top to bottom in one

fluid pass, painting 50/60 whole frames per second. This makes it

harder to discern a picture's individual scan lines, which dramatically

increases resolution while minimising distortion and flickering. This

allows for a stunningly realistic picture on a suitably equipped monitor.

Sonically, the 540D adds DVD-Audio playback for the best possible

musical performance in both multi-channel surround and high quality

stereo. Cambridge Audio has also worked hard to ensure that CD replay

is excellent and up to the standards of the rest of the 540D.

To maximise the performance from this equipment we would encourage

you to use only high quality viewing sources, amplification and capable

loudspeakers. We particularly recommend amplification from the

Cambridge Audio Azur range, which has been designed to the same

exacting standards as our DVD players.

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 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.

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