The centrepiece of Cambridge Audio’s stunning new Azur multi-channel

range, the 540R, has been designed to deliver the most outstanding

Home Cinema experience. This cutting edge AV receiver benefits from the

finest components including a Crystal DSP (Digital Sound Processor) and

multi-channel digital to analogue converters.

Compatible with the latest Home Cinema formats, the 540R packs a

mighty 100 watts per channel in two channel modes and 80 watts per

channel when powering a full six channel set-up. The FM/MW tuner offers

the convenience of 30 station presets and RDS functionality.

Elegantly housed in stylish new casework,

with a solid aluminium front panel and

acoustically damped chassis, the 540R

affords an impressive array of features and

functions. The ergonomic remote control,

which comes 

as standard, is perfectly contoured and

controls all the features of this AV powerhouse.

The 540R features a host of inputs and outputs to provide flexible

connectivity and set-up. A full range of video switching options allows the

amplifier to act as a hub for composite, S-VHS and component video

sources, enabling simultaneous picture and sound control.

It’s time to say goodbye to yesterday’s AV system and hear how the

Azur 540R can revolutionise your Home Cinema experience.
