ENGLISH

The 640R features Control Bus inputs and outputs that
allow un-modulated remote control commands
(positive logic, TTL level) to be received electrically by
the unit. These control commands are typically
generated by custom installation (multi-room) systems
or remote IR receiver systems. The Control Bus sockets
are colour-coded orange.

An IR Emitter Input is also provided that allows modulated IR remote
control commands to be received electrically by the unit. Commands on
this input operate the unit only and are not looped out
demodulated on the Control Bus Output. An RS232 port is
also featured which allows the 640R to be controlled by C.I.
systems.

In addition the unit features 'direct' IR/Control codes as well as toggle
codes for some of their features to simplify programming custom
installation systems. Special direct On/Off and Mute commands can be
accessed on the supplied remote control for teaching into C.I. systems
as follows:

1. Press and hold the Standby/On button on the remote control. The

remote first generates it's standby (toggle) command. Keep the
button held down, after 12 seconds an AV receiver “On” command
will be generated. If the button is kept held down for a further 12
seconds, an AV receiver “Off” command is generated.

Repeat this procedure with the Mute, Sub On/Off, Stereo Mono and
Tuner AM/FM buttons to send On/Off commands. The Tuner AM/FM
button also provides unique FM and AM commands to allow switching to
a specific band.

A full code table and RS232 protocol for this product is available on the
Cambridge Audio website at www.cambridge-aaudio.com.

The 640R has a function that preserves the preset memory and other
settings. In the event of a power failure, or if the power cord of the unit
is disconnected from the mains outlet, the back-up memory will
preserve the preset memory for approximately one week. If the power
supply is interrupted for 7 days or longer, the memory settings will be
erased.

If it is desired to reset all settings to their factory defaults (or in the
unlikely event that the unit locks up due to an electrical discharge etc),
with the unit on and out of Standby mode press and hold the DVD and
Analog Stereo Direct buttons on the front panel for three seconds.

“RESET” will appear briefly on the front panel display before returning to
Standby mode.
