The 640R has all the requisite inputs and outputs required for it to be used as the hub of a comprehensive home-theater system. There are three complete sets of audio/video inputs comprising S-video, composite video, analog stereo, and coaxial and optical digital. A similarly equipped tape loop (including digital outputs) is provided, along with an audio-only recording output and auxiliary input. On the front panel, an additional set of inputs lacks only coaxial digital. There are three sets of component-video inputs and three assignable HDMI inputs. The direct analog audio input has a full 7.1 channels, as do the corresponding preamp outputs.
Video outputs consist of one each for HDMI, component, S-video, and composite. A variety of outputs compatible with Cambridge’s proprietary Incognito multiroom system, as well as an RS-232 port, are also included. The speaker terminals are sturdy binding posts similar to those found on most other A/V receivers. There is a headphone jack, and the power cord is removable.
Decoding of all the surround formats is provided with up to 7.1 channels of output. The 640R’s power output is 120Wpc into 8 ohms, two channels driven, or 100Wpc into 8 ohms, all channels driven. A large vent in the center of the rear panel is part of Cambridge’s X-Tract Forced/Convection Heat Tunnel. The metal Tunnel draws heat away from the transformer and output stages by a combination of natural convection and forced air. During conditions of extreme heat, a variable-speed, "near-silent" fan is activated.
The Cambridge Audio Azur 640R provides first-rate sound with movie soundtracks, as well as very good playback of two-channel music recordings.
