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 either 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.

Thanks for taking the time to read this manual; we do recommend you
keep it for future reference.

Matthew Bramble
Technical Director

Congratulations on purchasing this Cambridge Audio 80 Series DVD
player. We hope that

you will enjoy many years of rewarding ownership.

The DVD85, 86 and 89 models all support normal CD and DVD discs,
while the DVD89 is also a ‘universal’ player that supports DVD-Audio
(DVD-A) and Super Audio CD (SACD). These new audiophile formats
allow even greater sound quality than CD/DVD and also allow multi­channel surround-sound audio.

In addition, the DVD85, 86 and 89 all support DivX® playback for good
quality highly compressed video and audio often downloaded from the
internet. The DVD89 also features the very latest DVD-D and HDMI
outputs for true all digital transmission of video to the TV screen for the
very best picture quality currently available.

To maximise the performance from this equipment we would encourage
you to use only high quality viewing equipment, amplification and
loudspeakers. Of course we particularly recommend amplification from
the Cambridge Audio range, which has been designed to the same
exacting standards as this DVD player.

Checking the Power Supply Rating

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 un-insulated
‘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.

The crossed-out wheeled bin is the European Union symbol for
indicating separate collection for electrical and electronic
equipment. This product contains electrical and electronic
equipment which should be reused, recycled or recovered and
should not be disposed of with unsorted regular waste. Please
return the unit or contact the authorised dealer from whom you
purchased this product for more information.

Plug Fitting Instructions (UK Only)

The cord supplied with this appliance is factory fitted with a 13amp mains plug
fitted with a 3 amp fuse inside. If it is necessary to change the fuse, it is important
that a 3 amp 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 13 amp 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 13amp (BS 1363) plug is used, a 3amp fuse must be fitted, or if any other type

of plug is used a 3amp or 5amp fuse must be fitted, either in the plug or adaptor,
or on the distribution board.

Video Connections

The DVD85 is equipped with Composite (CVBS), S-Video (SVHS), SCART
(RGB and CVBS) and Component Video (YCbCr) connections. The DVD89
also incorprates DVI-D and HDMI Digital Video Interfaces.

Audio Connections

Digital outputs

- The DVD89 also incorporates optical and a coaxial
digital output. These allow for a digital soundtrack on a DVD disc to be
sent to a suitably equipped AV receiver for decoding and amplification.
Both outputs perform the same function- simply choose the type that
best suits your needs.

REAR PANEL CONNECTIONS

Analogue outputs

- Both units have a conventional stereo RCA (phono)
out that outputs stereo audio for connection to a conventional stereo
amplifier. Also a six channel decoded output is featured in Dolby Digital

5.1 format that enables connection to a suitable 6 channel amplifier.
SACD and DVD audio disc will only output through the 5.1 analogue
outs. See ‘An Introduction to DVD Audio’ on page 22.

Note:

A DTS encoded disc will only output the DTS soundtrack through

the digital outputs for external decoding.(DTS passthrough).

AC power socket

Once you have completed all connections to the amplifier, plug the AC
Power Cable into an appropriate mains socket.

85/86/89 DVD player

Connections to a TV /Display

The DVD85 and 89 feature a wide range of video ouputs. You should
always use the best quality connection your TV supports. In order of
increasing quality you should use one of composite (CVBS), S-Video,
RGB Scart, Component Video (YUV), DVI and finally HDMI.

If it is desired to connect the Audio Out of the DVD player to your TV, the
‘2-CH out’ sockets should be connected to your TV’s Audio In terminals.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS - DVD MENU DISPLAY

All of these menus are accessed from the blue Cambridge Logo screen
that appears when the DVD player is on with no disc in the tray. Pressing
the SETUP button on the remote brings up the DVD menu display. It is
accessed by the cursors and select button in the centre of the remote.

When you press the setup button two options will be displayed, common
and professional.

Press the common setup, to setup basic functions, or the professional
setup for more advanced settings.

General Setup

TV Display:

Allows you to alter between 16.9 widescreen and 4.3

conventional image.
SCART:

Switches the SCART output between RGB and Composite Video.
You will need a suitably equipped television to handle a component
signal.

Screensaver:

If the DVD is left on and inactive, it will switch to a
screensaver to minimise energy consumption and screen burn. It can be
switched off here.

SACD:

Allows you to switch between 2 channel, multi channel and CD

Mode output.
PSCAN:

Allows you to switch between interlace and progressive scan

outputs via the component video connections.

DVD89 Only

Spectrum:

Turns On/Off the on-screen 13 bar EQ display.

Analogue Output Mode:

Switches between interlaced or progressive

video scanning.

Speaker Set Up

Downmix:

Switches off the surround soundtrack (5.1 analogue output
section) and outputs a stereo signal from the 2 channel Left and Right
Outputs.

Front, Centre and Rear Speaker Settings:

adjusts the DVD decoder to
compensate between large and small speakers and the size of the
signal it sends to the subwoofer.

Subwoofer Off/On:

Informs the player if a subwoofer is present. If it is
present the low frequencies are split off and sent to the subwoofer , if no t
the complete audio spectrum will be heard through the front channel.

Channel Delay:

Allows the distance between the listening position and
the centre, subwoofer, rear left and rear right speakers to be individually
set (in cm). This is to enable the surround sound to be optimised for
different listening room sizes and shapes.

80 Series DVD player 15

Audio Setup Page

EQ:

Adjusts the final effect of the stereo output with a number of

optional presets.
Soundfield:

Adjusts the final effect of the decoder output with a number

of surround effects presets.
SPDIF output:

Switches the digital audio section of the decoder/output
between bitstream (Raw) and uncompressed stereo digital out (PCM).
The bitstream (Raw) must be selected to enable surround sound (Dolby
digital/DTS) to be sent to an external decoder via the audio digital
output (coaxial or optical). If only a stereo speaker system is to be used
then it is only necessary to set this option to PCM, then only two
channels of information are decoded and sent to the stereo audio
outputs (and the coax/optical digital audio output).

LPCM Out:

This sets the maximum data rate for the digital audio output
(not the actual data rate from source) for connection to an external
decoding amplifier. The internal decoder will downsample if the
recorded material has a higher audio data rate although it will not
upsample if the recorded material has a lower audio data rate.

Dolby Digital setup/Dynamic:

This allows the adjustment of the Dynamic
compression applied to the audio. This can be useful when listening to
action films (large dynamic range between talking and explosions) late
at night. When set to maximum this will force the quiet and loud parts
of the signal to a similar level.

Channel Trim:

Allows adjustment of the decoder levels for each

individual channel in turn to optimise audio setup.

NNoottee::

When a film is playing it is not possible to access the setup menu unless the

stop button is pressed twice (clearing the film position altogether).

Video Setup Page

The various settings on this screen are all concerned with fine tuning
your DVD picture. You can adjust settings here whilst leaving the
television settings as they are.

Preference Page

TV Type:

the DVD player can be set for either a European PAL television
or an NTSC unit. Alternatively AUTO will allow the DVD to adjust
automatically, following the TV format of the DVDdisc.

Audio Setting:

Setting a particular language here will mean the DVD will
automatically look for that language on any DVD inserted into the
machine.

Subtitle:

Setting a particular language here means that the DVD will look
for this particular language. Setting it to the same as the Audio setting
will cancel the subtitles out.

Disc Menu:

This allows adjustment of the Scene selection/Special

features menu where permissible by the disc.
Parental:

Adjusting this blocks films above a set classification level (ie

PG13) from playing on the player if children are using it, if you wish.
Password:

This is how to alter the above settings. The password default

is

7890

and can be changed by correctly entering the default followed
by your new password.

Default:

This can restore all of the original factory settings if required.

Screen sizes and disc formats

DVD-Video discs come in several different screen aspect ratios, ranging
from TV programs, which are generally 4:3, to CinemaScope widescreen
movies, with an aspect ratio of up to about 7:3. Televisions, too, come in
different aspect ratios; ‘standard’ 4:3 and widescreen 16:9.

Widescreen TV users

If you have a widescreen TV, the TV Screen setting of this player should
be set to 16:9 (Wide)

When you watch discs recorded in 4:3 format, you can use the TV
controls to select how the picture is presented. Your TV may offer various
zoom and stretch options; see the instructions that came with your TV
for details.

Please note that some movie aspect ratios are wider than 16:9, so even
though you have a widescreen TV, these discs will still play in a ‘letter
box’ style with black bars at the top and bottom of the screen.

Standard TV users

If you have a standard TV, the TV Screen setting of this player should be
set to 4:3 (Letter Box) or 4:3 (Pan&Scan) depending on which you prefer.

Set to 4:3 (Letter Box) widescreen discs are shown with black bars top
and bottom.

Set to 4:3 (Pan&Scan) widescreen discs are shown with the left and
right sides cropped. Although the picture looks larger, you don’t actually
see the whole picture.

Please note that many widescreen discs override the pla yer’s settings so
that the disc is shown in letter box format regardless of the setting.

What is DVD Audio?

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 CD’s! For stereo buffs, a DVD-Audio disc can
alternatively hold two channels of 24-bit/192 kHz audio, exceeding the
quality of any music audio format previously available.

DVD-Audio discs can also add a visual element to your music. Discs can
carry picture galleries, lyrics, notes, or any combination of still images,
animation, and text. Producers and artists can even add audio
commentary, similar to that found on many DVD-Video discs. And, as
with DVD-Video, each DVD-Audio disc can also contain full-motion video,
with accompanying Dolby Digital sound in up to 5.1 channels.

Die Verkabelung ist ebenfalls ein Thema, das unbedingt beachtet
werden sollte. Machen Sie keine Abstriche bei der Leistungsfähigkeit
Ihres Systems durch den Einsatz von Kabeln minderer Qualität beim
Anschluss Ihres DVD-Players an Ihr Fernsehgerät oder den Verstärker
bzw. für die Verbindung vom Verstärker zu den Lautsprechern. Ein
System ist nur so stark wie das schwächste Glied. Ihr Händler hält für
Sie hochqualitative Verbindungskabel von Cambridge Audio bereit, mit
denen Sie die Möglichkeiten des gesamten Systems optimal ausnutzen
können.

Danke, dass Sie sich die Zeit zum Lesen dieses Handbuchs nehmen.
Wir empfehlen, dass Sie es für künftigen Gebrauch aufbewahren.

Matthew Bramble
Technischer Direktor

Herzlichen Glückwunsch zum Kauf dieses Cambridge Audio DVD­Players. Wir hoffen, dass

Sie viele Jahre Freude an Ihrem Gerät haben

werden.

Die Modelle DVD85, -86 und -89 unterstützen normale CD- und DVD­Medien, während der DVD89 ein "universelles" Abspielgerät ist und
zusätzlich DVD-Audio (DVA-A) und Super Audio CD (SACD) unterstützt.
Diese neuen Audiophilieformate ermöglichen eine noch höhere
Klangqualität als CD/DVD sowie Mehrkanal-Surroundklang.

Zusätzlich unterstützen die Modelle DVD85, -86 und -89 auch die
Wiedergabe von DivX®, also hochkomprimierter Video- und Audiodaten,
die oft aus dem Internet heruntergeladen werden. Der DVD89 bietet
darüber hinaus auch noch die aktuellen Anschlüsse DVD-D und HDMI
für eine vollständig digitale Videoübertragung an das TV-Gerät, um die
aktuell bestmögliche Bildqualität zu ermöglichen.

Um die Leistungen dieses Geräts maximal zu nutzen, empfehlen wir
Ihnen die ausschließliche Verwendung von hochwertigen
Anzeigegeräten, Verstärkern und Lautsprechern. Ganz besonders
empfehlen wir Ihnen natürlich die Verstärk er der Cambridge Audio Serie,
die dieselben hohen Qualitätsanforderungen erfüllen wie unsere DVD
Player.
