Hi,

The Cambridge Audio DVD89 player can play MP3 music, by
first unlocking the
machine via the remote. Seems that the MP3 decoder
initially is locked,
depending the country in which the system will be sold.

Does anybody know more hidden of undocumented features for
this device or
other Cambridge Audio gear?

Thnx,

Max H.



The question I would really like answered is "Why would they
bother to disable it to start with and why hide it?" Any
cheap Chinese player will play DVD and MP3.

BTW I have had Pioneer DV686 for over a year that is a multi
player (SACD/DVD-A/MP3/WMA etc, etc) and nothing was hidden
on that.

But having owned a CA Azur 640H music server for a while I
would imagine that it is more a case of CA's poor software
implementation, the owner's manual being sketchy and poorly
written and just a screw up from day one ;-)

Cheers TT

So bad software is a good sign, the engineers concentrated themselves full
on the audio section.

Can you recommend the 640H , or ... ?

I can back up TT''s claim. The Cambridge Azur 640H is indeed a HOS.
I have to applaud TT's persistence with the darn thing. If it was mine it
would be an expensive (very small) boat anchor by now.

Cheers,
Alan
