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.

Finally, the AVS550 provides a superb picture when

connected to a High Definition TV thanks to its

advanced Super Smart™ progressive scan circuitry.

This unique circuit analyzes the characteristics of

the source material on DVD and automatically selects

the proper de-interlacing algorithm for fast motion or

still scenes, as well as 3:2 pulldown to convert the

frame rate of film sources to that of video. The result is

the clearest, sharpest picture - totally free of motion

artifacts or the visual stutter sometimes seen when

movies, or movie segments originally shot on film, are

converted to video.

If You Are New To Digital Discs

DVDs are divided into one or more sections called

“titles.” A number corresponding to each title is

displayed on the front panel Vacuum Fluorescent

Display (VFD). You can select the different titles using

the TITLE key on the remote control. The ability to

bypass titles on a particular DVD is controlled by the

maker of the specific DVD, and may not be available

on all DVDs.

Each title is divided further into “chapters”. You may

navigate chapters using the skip keys ( |<<, >>| ),

using the numerical keypad, or within the DVD’s on-

screen menu.

CD and VCD discs are divided into “tracks”. You may

select the tracks using the skip keys or the numeric

keypad.

MP3, WAV and Picture CDs are organized in files that

may be contained within folders. Use the on-screen

“Smart Navi” function to navigate through the folders

on the disc and select the files you wish to play.

Some features of DVD playback are automated by

“flags” in the digital bitstream that let the disc

producer tell your player the optimum playback mode.

The AVS550 will respond to these flags where appro-

priate and automatically select the proper soundtrack

or technique for producing a progressive scan picture

on high definition TV sets. Likewise, the disc producer

may activate or deactivate some features of the for-

mat. If you find the occasional disc that does not offer

some of the features explained in this manual, it is not

the result of a defect of the AVS550.
