times per second. Progressive Scan DVD players scan from top to
bottom in one fluid pass, painting 50/60 whole frames per second. This
makes it harder to discern a picture's individual scan lines, which
dramatically increases resolution while minimising distortion and
flickering. This allows for a stunningly realistic picture on a suitably
equipped monitor.
Sonically, the 70 series player adds DVD-Audio playback for the best
possible musical performance in both multi-channel surround and high
quality stereo. Cambridge Audio has also worked hard to ensure that CD
replay is excellent.
To maximise the performance from this equipment we would encourage
you to use only high quality viewing equipment, amplification and
capable loudspeakers. We particularly recommend amplification from
the Cambridge Audio range, which has been designed to the same
exacting standards as our DVD players.
Cabling is also an area that should not be overlooked. Please do not
compromise your system's performance by using poor quality cables to
connect your DVD to your television and amplifier or the amplifiers'
output to your loudspeakers. A system is only as good as its weakest
link. Your dealer can supply quality Cambridge Audio interconnects that
will ensure your whole system realises its full potential.
Now we invite you to sit back, relax and enjoy!

A bbrief iintroduction tto DDVD aand DDVD Audio
DVD is well known for its extraordinarily large capacity and outstanding
audio-video effects. Its capacity is as high as 4.7-17 GB (approximately
7-26 times the capacity of CD). With 500-line horizontal resolution of
pictures and Dolby Digital 5.1 Channel surround sound, it brings a new
era to audio visual entertainment .
Using MLP Lossless from Dolby Laboratories, DVD-Audio discs can store
up to six channels of 24-bit/96 kHz audio, including a separate lowfrequency bass channel. Compare that to two channels of 16-bit/44.1
kHz sound from CDs! For audiophiles, a DVD-Audio disc can alternatively
hold two channels of 24-bit/192 kHz audio, exceeding the quality of any
music audio format previously developed.
About tthe 770 SSeries
The 70 Series DVD player encompasses the most sophisticated picture
reproduction, including the ability to reproduce a progressive scan
image in both PAL and NTSC. Progressive scan (DVD77 only) offers a
considerable leap in picture quality from the already impressive
standards set by conventional DVD-Video. The usual way of creating a
picture process draws screen lines twice per frame: once for the evennumbered lines and once for the odd-numbered lines, interlacing 25/30
INTRODUCTION
Checking tthe ppower ssupply rrating
For your own safety please read the following instructions carefully before
attempting to connect this unit to the mains.
Check that the rear of your unit indicates the correct supply voltage. If your mains
supply voltage is different, consult your dealer.
This unit is designed to operate only on the supply voltage and type that is
indicated on the rear panel of the unit. Connecting to other power sources may
damage the unit.
This equipment must be switched off when not in use and must not be used unless
correctly earthed. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove the unit's
cover (or back). There are no user serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to
qualified service personnel. If the power cord is fitted with a moulded mains plug
the unit must not be used if the plastic fuse carrier is not in place. Should you lose
the fuse carrier the correct part must be reordered from your Cambridge Audio
dealer.
The lightning flash with the arrowhead symbol within an equilateral
triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated
'dangerous voltage' within the product's enclosure that may be of
sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to
persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to
alert the user to the presence of important operating and
maintenance instructions in the service literature relevant to this
appliance.
This product complies with European Low Voltage (73/23/EEC)
and Electromagnetic Compatibility (89/336/EEC) Directives
when used and installed according to this instruction manual. For
continued compliance only Cambridge Audio accessories should
be used with this product and servicing must be referred to
qualified service personnel.

Plug ffitting iinstructions ((UK only)
The cord supplied with this appliance is factory fitted with a 13A mains plug fitted
with a 3A fuse inside. If it is necessary to change the fuse, it is important that a 3A
one is used. If the plug needs to be changed because it is not suitable for your
socket, or becomes damaged, it should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted
following the wiring instructions below. The plug must then be disposed of safely,
as insertion into a 13A socket is likely to cause an electrical hazard. Should it be
necessary to fit a 3-pin BS mains plug to the power cord the wires should be fitted
as shown in this diagram. The colours of the wires in the mains lead of this
appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the
terminals in your plug. Connect them as follows:-
The wire which is coloured BLUE must be
connected to the terminal which is marked
with the letter 'N' or coloured BLACK.
The wire which is coloured BROWN must be
connected to the terminal which is marked
with the letter 'L' or coloured RED
The wire which is coloured GREEN/YELLOW
must be connected to the terminal which is
marked with the letter 'E' or coloured
GREEN.
If your model does not have an earth wire,
then disregard this instruction.
If a 13 Amp (BS 1363) plug is used, a 3 Amp fuse must be fitted, or if any other
type of plug is used a 3 Amp or 5 Amp fuse must be fitted, either in the plug or
adaptor, or on the distribution board.

The unit is of Class 1 construction and must be connected to a Mains socket outlet
with a protective earthing connection.
This unit must be installed on a sturdy, level surface.
The unit requires ventilation. Do not situate it on a rug or other soft surface and do
not obstruct any air inlets or outlet grills.
Do not place in a sealed area such as a bookcase or in a cabinet. Any space open
at the back (such as a dedicated equipment rack) is fine however.
WARNING - To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this unit to
rain or moisture. This unit must not be exposed to dripping or splashing water or
other liquids. No objects filled with liquid, such as vases, shall be placed on the
unit. In the event, switch off immediately, disconnect from the mains supply and
contact your dealer for advice.
To clean the unit, wipe its case with a moist, lint-free cloth. Do not use any cleaning
fluids containing alcohol, ammonia or abrasives. Do not spray an aerosol at or near
your DVD player.
Ensure that small objects do not fall through any ventilation grille. If this happens,
switch off immediately, disconnect from the mains supply and contact your dealer
for advice.
Do not route the power cable so that it can be walked upon or damaged by other
items near it.
If you do not intend to use this unit for a long period, switch it to Standby and
unplug it from the mains socket. Also unplug the unit during lightning storms.
Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the
unit has been damaged in any way, such as a damaged power-supply cord or plug,
liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the unit, the unit has been
exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
If you have checked the Troubleshooting guide in the manual with no improvement,
do not attempt to repair, disassemble or reconstruct the unit. A serious electric
shock could result if this precautionary measure is ignored.
