Cambridge Audio has released a 5.1 Receiver in the market.The 340R features 5.1 multi-channel output and 2-in-1 out HDMI pass through so that, for instance, an HDMI DVD player and Sky HD set-top box can be connected with just one cable to the screen. A high quality Crystal CS42518 multi DAC also provides crystal clear sound reproduction for music or movie use.

After critical research with the help of user panels, it was concluded that a large proportion required a high performance 5.1 receiver rather than a compromised 6.1/7.1 product. The 340R then is the ultimate entry level home cinema receiver, perfect for users who only want to run a 5.1 speaker setup but don’t wish to trade-off against audio or video quality.
