TABLE OF CONTENTS INTRODUCTION
Thanks for choosing the MegaTheater AVS550 as the
heart of your home theater system. We at Cambridge
SoundWorks believe that it is the ideal utilization of
high technology to simplify the home
entertainment experience.
The AVS550 will entertain you for many years with its
flawless playback of DVD movies and high-resolution
DVD-Audio discs, sensitive AM and FM radio recep-
tion, and playback of normal CD, CD+G, HDCD, and
MP3 or WAV music files on recordable CD or DVD
discs. It will also play back DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R,
DVD+RW, VCD and SVCD discs you burn on your PC
from video files such as home movies from your digital
camcorder. In addition, the AVS550 will display your
JPEG digital still photos from CD on your TV screen.
You can even produce a “slide show” with musical
background by saving your photos and background
music MP3 file on the same disc.
The AVS550 includes all the inputs and outputs neces-
sary for most home theater system needs. There are
two sets of rear panel A/V inputs and a recording out-
put to connect a VCR and a satellite receiver or cable
box. A front panel input can be used for quick connec-
tion of a camcorder, video game, or portable music
player. Optical and coaxial digital inputs are also pro-
vided to connect up to two set top boxes (cable TV,
HDTV, or satellite receiver) equipped with a digital output.
The built-in 5.1 surround decoders (Dolby Digital,
Dolby Pro Logic 2 and DTS ) will accurately play back
any contemporary DVD when connected to a suitably
powered loudspeaker system or multichannel power
amplifier. The 24 bit 192kHz Analog to Digital convert-
ers make the AVS550 fully compatible with stereo and
5.1 DVD-Audio discs.
