Thanks for elaborating..  I can't figure out whether the Cambridge Azur
540R does "analog pass-through", however.  I've Googled & even asked on
another forum...  I won't buy anything until I know the answer to that.
I actually just ordered the 540R last week b/c the price was too good
to pass up; I don't have personal experience w/ it..
