After installing a software upgrade the unit no longer
recognises all of the information on the database
In order to synchronise the software upgrade with the hard drive
content, it may be necessary to rescan the database. If this does not
rectify the issue, reset the database, then rescan (refer to the
information on Data management in the 'Settings Menus' section of this
manual). This procedure will not remove or alter content on the hard
drive.
I have a large quantity of music on my PC, which the
640H is unable to recognise or scan
For larger music collections, please refer to the 'Content Management'
section in the 640H Networking Guides available for download on the
Cambridge Audio website.
My 640H is still making noises after I have put it into
standby
The unit is performing tasks such as background compression, file and
database management, and self checks. This is part of normal
operation, and will often occur for a few minutes after the unit is placed
in standby. If there is a large amount of music on the hard drive awaiting
compression, this procedure will take longer than usual.

Despite our selection of the very highest quality components and
extensive testing regime the 640H, like all units using a hard disk drive,
is subject to occasional random failure. In the unlikely event of a hard-
drive failure, some or all of the music content stored on the 640H’s
hard-drive may be lost. It is therefore strongly recommended that all
music content is regularly backed up to another storage medium to
prevent lengthy re-ripping or transferring of content in this event.
Cambridge Audio cannot be held responsible for any consequential
damage caused by hard-drive failures.
