The 540D delivers stunning performance from both film and music sources. Ideally suited as the principle source in a home
cinema system, the 540D is also extremely musical and for this reason, is often used as the main music source, negating
the need for a stand-also CD player. Video playback is nothing short of dazzling thanks to no less than six 12-bit/54MHz
video DACs – most other products use 11-bit converters. The 540D supports both NTSC and PAL Progressive Scan, offering a
considerable leap in picture quality over conventional DVD-Video.
Audio reproduction is handled by a Crystal CS4360 24-bit/192kHz six channel DAC (digital to analogue converter).
Its multi-channel DVD-Audio totally changes the way the listener experiences music. DVD-Audio discs have a much greater
bandwidth and contain more accurate 24-bit audio (CDs only contain 16-bit audio), plus they can carry 5.1 surround sound
as well as two channel audio. This radically improves the listening experience. In addition, the 540D is, of course,
capable of playing conventional compact discs.
The 540D’s technological prowess is augmented by the now customary Azur elegance and simplicity of design. Behind the
solid aluminium front panel, a low resonance acoustically damped chassis houses the electronics and helps maximise sonic
performance. To ensure the 540D’s compatibility with any Home Cinema system, a wide range of outputs are provided as standard
– component, RGB, S-Video and composite.
The future of home entertainment is finally here, so sit back and let the 540D show you what you’ve been missing.
