 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS & IMPORTANT NOTES

1.Check that the rear of the product indicates the correct supply voltage
for you area.

2. The lighting flash with the arrowhead within an equilateral

triangle is intended to alert the user or service agent to the
presence of dangerous voltages within the product enclosure
that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of
electric shock to persons.

3. The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is

intended to alert the user or service agent to the presence of
important operating and maintenance (Servicing) instructions
in the literature accompanying the appliance.

4. This product complies with EEC Low Voltage (73/23/EEC) and

Electromagnetic Compatibility (89/336/EEC) Directives when used and
serviced in accordance with this manual. For continued compliance all
components marked safety and EMC critical must only be replaced by
Cambridge Audio approved parts.

5. Any unauthorised design alterations or additions will void the

manufacturer’s warranty; furthermore the manufacturer cannot accept
responsibility for personal injury or property damage resulting therefrom.

6. When servicing, care should be taken to observe the original routing

and dressing of the leads and it should be confirmed that they have been
returned to normal after re-assembly.

Notes on chip component replacement

Never reuse a component that has been removed from a PCB
Notice that the minus side of a tantalum capacitor may be damaged by heat

 Cambridge Audio Azur 640A Amplifier Bias Setup

To set the bias on the 640A Amplifier:

Measure the voltage across R22 and R100 (Left channel) individually; they
should be adjusted using Preset R116 so that the voltage measured on each
resistor is greater than 13mV. This procedure should then be repeated for the
Right channel by measuring the voltage across R52 and R69 whilst adjusting
Preset R68 so that the voltage measured on each resistor is greater than 13mV.
