Introduction

Thank you for purchasing this Cambridge Audio Azur Blu-ray Player. Like all Cambridge Audio products, our Blu-ray players adhere to our three core principles – stunning performance, ease of use and incredible value.

The 651BD/751BD both features almost universal disc compatibility and can play back CD, HDCD, DVD-Video, DVD-Audio, Super Audio CD and Blu-

Ray discs including those with 3D content. 24/192kHz Digital to Analogue converters and our usual careful audio design ensure that the

651BD/751BD can reproduce the dynamics and scale required for modern movie soundtracks whilst also being able to reproduce a genuinely musical performance with either stereo or multi-channel music discs.

A full range of HDMI, digital and analogue outputs are fitted. These allow the connection of suitably equipped TVs and AV receivers.

Twin HDMI outputs allow two screens or a screen and a projector to be connected at the same time. Both are fully compatible with the HDMI 1.4

standard for 3D TV and deepcolour support.

The primary output also features a Marvell QDEO scaler with motion adaptive noise reduction and a host of technologies to further improve the picture quality for this output.

An Ethernet connection is provided for BD Live and other interactive features via the internet. Additionally the 751BD is supplied with a USB

Wi-Fi dongle.

The latest surround-sound formats are supported including decoding of

Dolby True HD, Dolby Digital Plus, DTS-HD Master Audio and DTS-HD High

Resolution Audio in Stereo, 5.1 or 7.1 variants. In particular support for the true lossless Dolby True HD and DTS HD Master Audio formats provides unprecedented audio fidelity from Blu-ray discs.

The 651BD/751BD is also capable of outputting all of these formats as bitstreams over HDMI for decoding in a suitable AV Receiver.

Both models use 24/192kHz Digital to Analogue converters. The 651BD features a Cirrus Logic CS4382A 8 Channel multi-dac to create its 7.1

analog output (which can be set to Stereo mode also).

The 751BD instead uses five WM8740 stereo DACs from Wolfson

Microelectronics and features both a permanent 7.1 and a separate

Stereo output. For the 751BD all analog outputs are also up-sampled via an Analog Devices DSP running our proprietary Q5 Upsampling and jitter suppression algorithm from Anagram Technologies to 24 bits and

192kHz.

Both models feature an environmentally friendly low power (1W) standby circuit.

All this proprietary engineering is housed within our low resonance, acoustically damped chassis. An Azur Navigator remote control is also provided, giving full remote control of your Blu-ray player and if required a Cambridge Audio amplifier or AV receiver in an attractive and easy to use handset.

Remember your 651BD/751BD can only be as good as the system it is connected to. Please do not compromise on your AV receiver or speaker package and always use good quality video and audio cabling. Naturally we particularly recommend AV receivers such as those from the

Cambridge Audio Azur range, which has been designed to the same exacting standards as this product. Your dealer can also supply excellent quality Cambridge Audio interconnects to ensure your system realises its full potential.

Thank you for taking the time to read this manual; we recommend you keep it for future reference.

Plug-fitting Instructions (UK only)

The cord supplied with this appliance is factory-fitted with a UK mains plug fitted with a 3-amp fuse inside. If it is necessary to change the fuse, it is important that a

3-amp fuse is used. If the plug needs to be changed because it is not suitable for your socket, or becomes damaged, it should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted following the wiring instructions below. The plug must then be disposed of safely, as insertion into a mains socket is likely to cause an electrical hazard. Should it be necessary to fit a 3-pin BS mains plug to the power cord, the wires should be fitted as shown in this diagram. The colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug. Connect them as follows:

The wire which is coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter ‘N’ or coloured BLACK.

The wire which is coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter ‘L’ or coloured RED.

The wire which is coloured GREEN/YELLOW must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter ‘E’ or coloured GREEN.

If a standard 13-amp (BS 1363) plug is used, a 3-amp fuse must be fitted or, if any other type of plug is used, a 3-amp or 5-amp fuse must be fitted, either in the plug or adaptor, or on the distribution board.

azur 651/751BD

BD-ROM compatibility

Since the Blu-ray Disc specifications are new and evolving, some discs may not play properly depending on the disc type, version and encoding.

It is possible that a Blu-ray disc manufactured after the player was manufactured uses certain new features of the Blu-ray Disc specifications. To ensure the best possible viewing experience, the player may need a firmware or software update from time to time.

Copyright protection

This product incorporates copyright protection technology that is protected by U.S. patents and other intellectual property rights. Use of this copyright protection technology must be authorized by Macrovision

Corporation, and is intended for home and other limited viewing uses only unless otherwise authorized by Macrovision Corporation. Reverse engineering or disassembly is prohibited.

Region management information

This player is designed and manufactured to respond to the region management information of DVD or BD discs. If the region number of a

BD-Video or DVD disc does not correspond to the region number of this player, this player cannot play the disc.

BD-Video – This player plays BD-Video with marks that match the code on the back of the unit (i.e. A, B or C).

Discs that have no region coding are also playable. These usually have all

3 region codes on the packaging in a pyramid.

DVD-Video – This player plays DVD-Video with marks that match the region code on the back of the unit (i.e. 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5).

Discs that are encoded for All regions are also playable.

Disc care and handling

• To keep the disc clean from scratches or fingerprints, handle the disc by its edge. Do not touch the recording surface.

• Blu-ray Discs record data in very high density and the record layer is very close to the disc surface. For this reason, Blu-ray Discs are more sensitive to dust and fingerprints than DVD. Should you encounter playback problems and see dirty spots on the disc surface, clean the disc with a cleaning cloth. Wipe the disc from the centre out along the radial direction. Do not wipe the disc in a circular motion.

• Do not use record cleaning sprays or solvents such as benzene, thinner and anti-static spray.

• Do not attach labels or stickers to discs as this may cause the disc to warp, become imbalanced or too thick, resulting in playback problems.

• Avoid exposing the discs to direct sunlight or heat sources.

• Do not use the following discs:

– Discs with exposed adhesive from removed stickers or labels. The disc may get stuck inside the player.

– Warped or cracked discs.

– Irregularly shaped discs, such as heart or business card shapes.

Separate analogue stereo (751BD only)

The analogue stereo outputs should be used for play back of CDs, DVDs etc in stereo through a conventional amplifier or AV receiver with analogue stereo inputs.

Analogue stereo is also usually the best connection method for listening to CDs and other stereo discs for best possible sound quality. It is often a good idea to connect both the analogue stereo outputs (for CD playback) and digital audio outputs or HDMI (for surround sound decoding) at the same time.

To connect an analogue stereo system to the 751BD, use stereo phono cables (stereo 2RCA-2RCA).

2

Digital audio

The digital audio outputs should be used to decode the surround-sound soundtracks of BD/DVDs with an external AV Receiver (Note: Digital output must be set to

"

RAW

" in the Audio setup page). The 651/751BD sends an undecoded audio bitstream to the AV Receiver for decoding into 5.1/7.1 etc.

Note: The latest HD audio types, SACD and DVD-A cannot be output over

SPDIF/TOSlink and an HDMI connection must be used for these.

Either a 75ohm co-axial cable designed for digital audio or a TOSlink fibre optic cable should be used (only one at a time).

Note:

It is also possible to output stereo digital audio from the Digital

Outputs for recording on conventional CD-R/MD etc. machines, see section on 651/751BD setup.

Analogue 2 ch/5.1/7.1

The 651/751BD is also capable of decoding Surround-Sound soundtracks itself and outputting these as analogue Stereo, 5.1 or 7.1

depending on the settings in the Speaker setup page in the 651/751BD setup menu.

For 5.1, connect to an AV receiver or amplified speaker system, use 6 x phono/RCA cables.

For 7.1, connect to an AV receiver or amplified speaker system, use 8 x phono/RCA cables.

azur 651/751BD

Analogue video connections

The 651/751BD can output video in both fully digital (HDMI) and analogue (Composite or Component) formats. If your TV set supports

HDMI then this is the preferred format (see next section).

If your TV set supports only analogue video the preferred connection is (in declining order of quality) Component and then Composite.

Note:

The 651/751BD will output BD content (including 1080p) as up to

1080i over the component connections only.

Also note video up-conversion of content over the component connections is limited by CSS encryption on most discs.

The HDCP protected HDMI outputs do not suffer this limitation and offer full up-conversion of all content.

Component - Connect with 75 ohm Component video cables (3RCA-

3RCA).

2

Composite - Connect with single 75 ohm video phono cable (RCA-

HDMI connections

HDMI (High-Definition Multi-Media Interface) is a digital connection that can carry both audio and video in one cable. Direct digital transfer of video and support for various types of high definition video content make this the best connection type for picture quality.

The 651/751BD supports two HDMI outputs, both are 3D TV compatible.

For normal use with a single TV or TV and AV Receiver use HDMI output

1 (Primary Output) as this benefits from the Marvell QDEO Video processor, as shown below.

Set the Primary Output option in the setup menu to ‘HDMI 1’,

Note

: The Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby True HD, DTS HD High Resolution and

DTS HD Master Audio can only be passed by the 651/751BD over HDMI.

As HDMI can carry both digital audio and video, HDMI can be used to connect to AV receivers that support this function for external decoding.

Note:

• In case you are not able to get a picture using the HDMI or component output, please connect the player to the TV using the composite video output, and then use the Setup Menu to adjust the player settings.

• Video up-conversion over the component output is only available for unencrypted discs such as home video and consumer-created contents. Most commercially pressed DVD discs are CSS-encrypted and will be limited to 480i/480p resolution. This restriction applies to the component output only. The HDMI output is protected with HDCP and has no such restriction.

Determine the display aspect ratio

Use to select the screen format to fit your TV screen.

4:3 Letterbox - Alternatively you can select this screen when connected to a 4:3 TV set. The full widescreen picture is displayed on the screen with black strips on the top and bottom of the screen.

4:3 PanScan - You can select this screen when connected to a 4:3 TV set. The widescreen picture will display on the full screen, but some parts of the video picture will be cut off automatically.

16:9 Wide - Select this screen when connected to a 16:9 widescreen TV set.

The full picture will now normally be displayed with no picture cropping (unless the movie itself has black bars recorded into the video).

16:9 Wide/Auto - 16:9 (widescreen) as well as 4:3 sources will be displayed in their native aspect ratio. Please note that in this mode 4:3 sources will be displayed with black borders on both sides to maintain the correct 4:3 aspect ratio.

Note

: If you are using a plasma or widescreen CRT display you will want to avoid leaving black bars on the screen for any length of time as you may encounter temporary "burn-in" where the display retains memory of the

"used" part of screen and the unused (black bar) portions are clearly defined on the screen during subsequent viewing sessions. The "16:9

Wide" mode is the best choice for these types of displays.

Press the   buttons to select the proper aspect ratio for your TV, then press the Enter button.

To change the zoom level, press and hold the Angle/Zoom button on the remote control. Holding down the Angle/Zoom button will switch the zoom level in the following sequence: 2x, 3x, 4x, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4 then back to normal.

The zoom level is reset to 1:1 when the disc is ejected, or when the player is turned off.

Note

: The Zoom feature may not be available when certain DVD or Blu-ray

Discs are played because the disc author chooses to disable Zoom.

Blu-ray disc menu

1. Blu-ray discs usually contain a top menu and a pop-up menu. The top menu normally appears at the beginning of the playback, after the previews and copyright messages. The Pop-up Menu can be accessed during playback without interruption.

2. During playback, press the Pop-up Menu button to access the pop-up menu. Press the Top Menu button to access the top menu.

Memory and automatic resume

The player automatically remembers the current position for a disc when playback is interrupted. Operations such as Open/Eject or turning Power off will cause the player to save the current playing position for that disc.

The position is memorised even after turning off the unit or changing the disc.

When the next time the same disc is played back, the player will recognize the saved playing position. Playback will automatically resume from this saved position. However if you wish to cancel the automatic resume and start playback from the beginning, you may press the  button when prompted.

The player can remember playback position for up to five discs. When the sixth disc is memorised, the oldest one is replaced.

Note:

Some Blu-ray discs do not support resuming and will always play from the beginning.

Picture-in-Picture and Secondary Audio

Certain Blu-ray discs contain secondary video (Picture-in-Picture/PIP) and secondary audio. This feature is often called BONUSVIEW. When such a disc is played, a Picture-in-Picture mark (PIP Mark) and a Secondary Audio

Program Mark (SAP Mark) may be displayed on the screen to alert you to the availability of the secondary audio/video content.

The disc menu usually features interactive controls to turn on/off the

Picture-in-Picture video and Secondary Audio Program. Please use those controls to select the desired secondary audio/video content.

There is also a PIP button on the remote control. If the disc menu does not offer interactive Picture-in-Picture controls, please use this button to turn on/off Picture-in-Picture or select from multiple secondary video programs.

Similarly there is a SAP button on the remote control. If the disc menu does not offer interactive secondary audio controls, please use this button to turn on/off Secondary Audio Program or select from multiple secondary audio tracks. Secondary Audio Programs are generally only available when Picture-in-Picture is shown.

Note:

• This function is available only when the discs are recorded with secondary video and audio programs.

• Discs may not always be played back according to the PIP and SAP remote buttons. Certain discs can ignore or override the remote control commands.

• The PIP and SAP Marks on the screen (which alert the user to the presence of these functions on the disc) can be turned off using the

Setup Menu of the player.

Some Blu-ray disc titles are released with the BD-Live feature. BD-Live offers extra downloadable contents and additional online interactive programs. The available BD-Live content varies by disc and studio, and may include additional subtitles, commentaries, preview trailers, games, and online chat. The player needs to be connected to the Internet in order to play BD-Live contents.

azur 651/751BD

Depending on how the studios organise their BD-Live contents, some Blu-ray discs may start downloading BD-Live content when playback starts; some have a BD-Live selection on its main menu; some may show a prompt to ask whether you would like to start downloading; and some may ask you to sign up for a membership or account. Please follow the instructions that come with the disc to enjoy BD-Live contents.

Your Internet connection speed, the overall Internet traffic situation and the capacity of the BD-Live content servers can all affect how fast BD-

Live content can be downloaded. If you encounter slow downloading or intermittent playback, please play the disc without accessing the BD-Live features, or try again at a different time.

When you use the BD-Live feature, the player or disc ID and your IP

(Internet Protocol) address may be sent to the content provider via the

Internet. Generally, no personally identifiable information is sent. However technologies exist to match your IP address to a certain geographical area or service provider. Your Internet service provider also has the knowledge of who is using which IP address. If the BD-Live content provider requires you to login using a membership or account, the content provider will have access to your membership or account information. Please check with your Internet service provider and the BD-Live content providers for their privacy policy.

You can also choose to restrict BD-Live access using the player’s Setup Menu.

Output resolution

If you would like to change the output resolution, you may do so by pressing the Res/TV Type button on the remote control:

1. Make sure the video cable is properly connected.

2. Turn on the TV. Make sure the correct input is selected.

3. Make sure that the player is turned on. Although the output resolution can be changed

" on the fly

"

, it is recommended that you stop playback and take out the disc before changing the output resolution. Press the

Res/TV Type button. A

"

Resolution Setting

" menu appears on the TV screen. In case the TV does not support the current resolution and you cannot see the

"

Resolution Setting

" menu, the current resolution is also displayed on the front panel.

4. Use the   buttons to select the new output resolution. Pressing the Res/TV Type button cycles through the available output resolutions.

The new resolution is displayed on the front panel just in case you cannot see the

"

Resolution Setting

" menu (if it is incompatible with your

TV).

5. Press the Enter button to apply the selected output resolution. Or, if you do not want to change the output resolution, press the button.

The following output resolutions are available:

PAL output via HDMI 1 or 2– Auto, 1080p, 1080i, 720p, 576p, 576i, Source

Direct.

NTSC output via HDMI 1 or 2 – Auto, 1080p, 1080i, 720p, 480p, 480i, Source

Direct.

PAL output via Analog (component) – 1080p*, 1080i, 720p, 576p, 576i.

NTSC output via Analog (component) – 1080p*, 1080i, 720p, 480p,

480i.

* When 1080p is selected with Analog output selected as the primary video output, HDMI output resolution will be 1080p and component output resolution will be 1080i.

Note:

• Some TV sets do not support one more output resolutions (particularly

1080p). If an incompatible output resolution is selected, you will get a blank screen or an error message. In this case please select an output resolution that is supported by the TV.

• In case you are not able to get a picture using the HDMI or component output, please connect the player to the TV using the composite video output, then use the Setup menu to adjust the player settings.

• Video up-conversion over the component output is only available for unencrypted discs such as home video and consumer-created contents. Most commercially pressed DVD discs are CSS-encrypted and will be limited to 480i/480p resolution. This restriction applies to the component output only. The HDMI output is protected with HDCP and has no such restriction.

TV system selection

The 651/751BD can be set to output all video as PAL or NTSC or output the video in the same format it was recorded in (Multi). Some TVs only support PAL or NTSC and not both so forcing the output type to one or the other can be useful.

Press and hold the Res/TV Type button on the remote control to cycle the video output to PAL, NTSC or

"

Multi

" system. The TV screen displays the selected system name.

Some points to keep in mind:

• When the video output is set to PAL or NTSC, the player will convert the disc content if different to the selected system.

• When the video output is set to

"

Multi

"

, the player will not perform system conversion and will output the video in its native format on the disc. The

"

Multi

" mode should only be used if your TV supports both

NTSC and PAL systems.

• Some TV sets only support one of the PAL or NTSC systems. If the wrong output is selected, the TV may not display a picture. In this case keep holding the Res/TV Type button until a supported system is selected.

• The output system selected with the Res/TV Type button will be remembered when the player is turned off. The output system selection can also be done by setting the

"

TV System

" item in the

"

Video Setup

" section of the player’s Setup Menu.

Viewing pictures on DVD-Audio discs

Some DVD-Audio discs contain static pictures, such as photos of the band or narration of the album. When a DVD-Audio track is playing, you may use the Page  and Page  buttons to select the picture.

Note:

Availability of static pictures depends on the DVD-Audio disc.

Pure Audio mode

You can enjoy higher quality audio by turning off the video processing and output. The Pure Audio mode reduces any potential interference between the video and audio signals.

1. Press the Pure Audio button on the remote control to turn off video and enter Pure Audio mode. Video output will be turned off.

2. Press the Pure Audio button again to resume video and cancel Pure

Audio mode.

Note:

• Pure Audio mode is automatically cancelled when the unit is switched off or when playback is stopped.

• Since HDMI carries audio together with video, the HDMI output cannot be completely turned off. A black screen (inactive video but sync is still present) is transmitted instead to minimize any potential interference.

Shuffle

When playing a CD or SACD, press the Blue button on the remote control to activate the Shuffle and Random modes. Each press of the Blue button switches the playback mode in the following sequence: Shuffle , Random and Normal.

Downloaded From Disc-Player.com Cambridge Audio Manuals

As well as normal CD’s, SACD’s, DVD’s and BD’s the 651/751BD can play some music, movies and photo files either from optical datadiscs (such as CD-R, DVD-R etc.) or external memory such as USB flash-drives/thumbdrives or e-Sata hard-drives.

Connecting a USB or an e-Sata Drive

The 651/751BD is equipped with two USB 2.0 ports, one on the front of the unit and the other on the back, and also an e-Sata port at the back.

You may use either USB port to plug in a USB drive or use the e-Sata port with an e-Sata drive loaded with digital music, movies and photo files.

The USB ports are rated to provide a maximum of 5V, 1A power to the attached device. This is usually sufficient to bus power (i.e. self power)

USB flash drives and flash memory card readers, but may not be sufficient for USB hard disks.

To use the e-Sata port, an external power supply is needed to power up the e-Sata drive. Note that the e-Sata port does not support “hotplugging”. To avoid damaging your e-Sata drive, always plug-in/unplug the e-Sata drive when the 651/751BD is turned off.

Note:

• This unit supports Mass Storage Class Bulk Transport devices only.

Most USB thumbs drives, portable hard disk drives and card readers conform to this device class. Other devices such as MP3 players, digital cameras, and mobile phones that include their own memory management may not be compatible.

• Supported USB drives must be formatted with the FAT (File Allocation

Table), FAT32 or NTFS (New Technology File System) file system.

• In some cases, an incompatible device may cause the player to stop responding. If this occurs simply turn off the power, remove the device, and turn the player back on.

• The player accesses the USB drive in read-only mode. In order to minimize the risk of data corruption, it is recommended that you only unplug the USB device when playback has completely stopped.

• DO NOT attempt to plug in a USB drive into the e-Sata port, or plug in an e-Sata drive into the USB port, as this could damage both the drive and the port.

The Home Menu

When a drive or an optical disc stored with media files is inserted, the player presents a

1. Picture Adjustment

This is used to adjust picture control parameters. The 651/751BD provides a wide array of picture controls. Please refer to the

"

Picture

Adjustment

" section of this manual for details of each control.

2. Primary Output

To select the primary video output method. The options are:

HDMI 1 – Use HDMI 1 as the primary video output port. This setting will ensure that the HDMI 1 output gets the best possible picture quality. The dedicated Marvell QDEO video processor will be used unless “Source

Direct” for output resolution is selected, in which case the QDEO DE2750 video processor is bypassed. Component and composite video output may not be available or may be limited to a lower resolution based on content source limitations.

HDMI 2 – Use HDMI 2 as the primary video output port. Similar to “HDMI

1”, this setting ensures that the HDMI 2 output gets the best possible picture quality, except that it utilizes the video decoder in the Mediatek

Chipset to perform necessary video processing, not the QDEO video processor.

Analog – Use component video as the primary video output port. This setting will ensure that the component output is always available and displays proper video signals. The video decoder in the player performs any necessary format conversion, and the QDEO video processor is completely bypassed.

Note:

Copyright control mechanisms encoded on the disc may limit the output resolution of the component video output. For DVD, if CSS encryption is in use the output resolution is limited to no more than

480p/576p; for Blu-ray Discs, the output resolution is limited to no more than 1080i, and could be lower if the disc contains an Image Constraint

Token.

3. 3D Mode

To choose the video output mode for available 3D content at the HDMI output ports. The options are:

Auto – Output 3D if supported both by the disc content and the display.

The player automatically checks for the existence of 3D content on the disc and the 3D compatibility of the TV or projector. If both are qualified, the player sends 3D video from its HDMI output terminals, otherwise only

2D video is sent out. Active shutter 3D-compatible glasses are required compatible with your TV.

Forced – Always output 3D video format for 3D Blu-ray discs. You might experience a black screen (no video output) if your TV is not 3D compatible.

Off – Always output 2D video format, even when 3D video exists on the disc. This can guarantee the video quality in case that your TV is not 3D compatible, or some necessary part (such as the 3D glasses) is missing.

azur 651/751BD

4. 3D TV Size

To enter the diagonal screen size of your HDTV. This option applies to 3D mode, to facilitate the player adjusts the 3D image for better visual quality.

The diagonal size of your TV screen, by default it is 46 inches.

5. TV Aspect Ratio

To set the aspect ratio of the player’s output image. The options are :

4:3 Letterbox – Choose this when the display is standard 4:3. A widescreen image is displayed in

" letterbox

" format with black borders on top and bottom.

4:3 Pan & Scan – Choose this when the display is standard 4:3. A widescreen image will be stretched.

16:9 Wide – Choose this when the display is widescreen 16:9. 16:9 materials will be displayed in its native aspect ratio, and 4:3 materials will be stretched horizontally.

16:9 Wide/Auto – Choose this when the display is widescreen 16:9. 16:9 materials will be displayed in its native aspect ratio, and 4:3 materials will be displayed with black borders on both sides in order to maintain the original 4:3 aspect ratio.

6. TV System

To choose the output video standard (PAL/NTSC) to match your TV. The options are:

PAL – When playing PAL-encoded discs, no system conversion is performed. NTSC-encoded contents are converted to PAL output. Blu-ray discs encoded with 24Hz frame rate are converted to 50Hz frame rate if neither 1080p24 Output nor Source Direct output resolution is enabled.

NTSC– When playing NTSC-encoded discs, no system conversion is performed. PAL encoded contents are converted to NTSC output. Blu-ray discs encoded with 24Hz frame rate are converted to 60Hz frame rate if neither 1080p24 Output nor Source Direct output resolution is enabled.

Multi-system – No system conversion is performed. The output video system is the same as that encoded on the disc. Blu-ray discs encoded with 24Hz frame rate are converted to 60Hz frame rate if neither

1080p24 Output nor Source Direct output resolution is enabled. This mode requires a TV that supports both NTSC and PAL systems.

Note

: Do not select

"

Multi-system

" if your TV does not support both PAL and NTSC systems. The TV display may become a black screen upon inserting a disc encoded in a different system than your TV supports.

Should this happen, you can press the OPEN button to eject the disc tray, and then use the Setup Menu to correct the

"

TV System

" setting.

7. Output Resolution

To choose the output resolution that best matches your television’s native resolution. For a detailed description on how to choose a proper output resolution, please refer to the "Select the Best Output Resolution" section of this manual.

8. 1080p24 Output

This option only applies to the HDMI output at 1080p resolution. Many

Blu-ray discs that originated from theatrical movies are encoded using

24Hz frame rate, the same number of frames per second as the original theatrical film. If your TV properly supports 1080p 24Hz, smoother motion can be achieved by enabling 1080p24 output for such discs. The available options are:

Auto (default)– Video encoded in 24Hz frame rate will be output as

1080p 24Hz if the TV informs the player that it can support the 1080p24 signal.

On – Video encoded in 24Hz frame rate will be output as 1080p 24Hz without regard to whether the TV can support the 1080p24 signal or not.

This is useful if the TV can actually support 1080p24 but does not properly state its capability. Please note that if the TV cannot support

1080p24, selecting this option will result in no video.

Off – Video encoded in 24Hz frame rate will be converted to 50Hz (PAL) or 60Hz (NTSC)

9. HDMI Options

To configure video options that apply only to the HDMI output. This item contains a sub-menu of the Video Setup menu allowing configuration of some video settings that are unique to the HDMI outputs. To enter this sub-menu, select “HDMI Options” from the Video Setup menu.

To exit this sub-menu, press the button or the  key. Options are present for HDMI1 (using the Marvell QDEO scaler) and HDMI2 (using the scaler built into the Mediatek chipset).

The following HDMI options are available:

Colour Space (HDMI 1) – Used select the colour space for the HDMI 1 output.

The Marvell QDEO scaler can perform various conversions for this output.

The available options are:

Auto (Recommended) – The player checks with the display device to automatically determine what colour spaces it can support and uses those. Usually avoids extra colour space conversion.

RGB Video Level – Forces the HDMI output to use RGB colour space and normal signal range suitable for TV type displays.

RGB PC Level – Forces the HDMI output to use RGB colour space and expands the signal range that to suitable for personal computer (PC) type displays.

Mostly used for TVs with DVI inputs designed to be also used as PC monitors, these can expect signal in expanded RGB range when the DVI input is selected. For these displays if the video signal uses the normal

RGB range, the black-white contrast will be reduced. You can set the player to use the RGB PC Level output and restore proper contrast.

YCbCr 4:4:4 – The HDMI output is forced to use the YCbCr 4:4:4 colour space.

YCbCr 4:2:2 – The HDMI output is forced to use YCbCr 4:2:2 colour space. Generally this is the colour space that is closest to the colour space encoded on the discs. (Discs are generally encoded in YCbCr

4:2:0 colour space, and the video decoder decodes it into YCbCr 4:2:2.)

Colour Space (HDMI 2) – To select the colour space for the HDMI 2 output. The Mediatek decoders own in-built scaler is used for this output.

The available options are the same as those for HDMI 1.

HDMI Deep Colour (HDMI 1) – To select Deep Colour modes for the HDMI

1 output. Deep Colour is an OPTION for some TVs or projectors that feature HDMI v1.3 or higher input.

Normally, each pixel of the video image is transmitted using 24-bit data

(8-bit per channel for R, G, B or Y, Cb, Cr). If Deep Colour is supported on your TV each pixel of the video image can be transmitted using 30-bit

(10-bit per channel) or 36-bit (12-bit per channel) data. The increased bit depth should result in smoother colour transitions and better gradients for better picture quality.

For BD discs with native deep colour on them the extra information will be passed to the TV. For up-scaled content such as DVDs the deep colour output will be interpolated but can still result in a smoother picture. The dithering/limiting options allow discs with deep colour content to be sent to TVs with limited deep colour support.

Dithering is a way to softly limit any extra colour information in the source material that the display cannot handle by adding ‘noise’ to prevent an abrupt step in the levels.

Setup menu continued

The available options are:

36 Bits – Always use the maximum 36-bit per pixel Deep Colour mode for the output.

30 Bits (Dithered) – Use the 30-bit per pixel Deep Colour mode with dithering of any over 30 bit content.

30 Bits – Use the 30-bit per pixel Deep Colour mode and hard limit output at 8 bits per colour.

Off (Dithered) – Do not use Deep Colour, dithering any over 24 bit content.

Off (default) – Do not use Deep Colour, hard limit output at 8 bits per colour.

HDMI Deep Colour (HDMI 2) – Select the Deep Colour mode for the HDMI

2 output. The available options are the same as those for HDMI 1.

Note

: Since the Deep Colour feature is OPTIONAL and may not be supported by all TVs, enabling Deep Colour while connected to a TV without this feature may result in no effect or no video.

At the time of writing, no BD discs are yet encoded with Deep Colour.

Demo Mode – To enable a special split-screen demonstration mode. This is designed for the demonstration of the QDEO video processing technology. It can also be used as an aid for setting picture control adjustments for Noise Reduction, Colour Enhancement and Contrast

Enhancement. It should NOT be used for normal movie watching. The available options are:

On – The video screen will be split in half. The left side shows video without the help of QDEO video processing, and the right side demonstrates the result of QDEO video processing.

Off (default) – Normal viewing mode.

Note:

The demo mode is cancelled automatically whenever the player is turned off.

Video Only (HDIM 1) – To choose whether to only send video signal (no audio signal) to HDIM 1 terminal or not. The available options are:

Yes – Only video signal is sent to HDMI 1 terminal. This can be useful if you use HDMI 1 only for video display, no need to lower the volume or mute the HDTV connected to it.

No (default) – Both video and audio signals are sent to HDMI 1 terminal.

10. Display Options

To configure the options for displaying on-screen information. The following display options are available:

Subtitle Shift – To set the display position for subtitles. When the “Subtitle

Shift” is set at 0 (default), subtitles are displayed at the original position as specified on the disc. When it is set at a value between 1 and 5, subtitles are shifted up. When it is set at a value between -1 and -5, subtitles are shifted down. This feature is helpful for instance to customers using a 2.35:1 “Constant Image Height” video projection system. Subtitles can be shifted to the active video area so they do not get cut off.

OSD Position – To set the display position for on-screen display (OSD).

When the “OSD Position” is set at 0, OSD is shown at the top and bottom of the video screen. When it is set at a value between 1 and 5, OSD is shifted towards the vertical center line of the video screen. Similar to the subtitle shift setting above, the “OSD Position” feature is helpful to customers using a 2.35:1 “Constant Image Height” video projection system.

OSD Mode – To select how long the on-screen display information, such as elapsed or remaining time, stays on the TV screen. The available options are:

Normal – On-screen display information stays on the TV screen until the user cancels it.

Silent – On-screen display information shows on the TV screen for a few seconds and then disappears. The front panel display still maintains the selected display information.

Remaining – On-screen display information stays on the TV screen until the user cancels it. By default display remaining time instead of elapsed time.

Angle Mark (on/off) – To turn on/off the display of an angle mark when a DVD or Blu-ray Disc with multiple available angles is played. Keeping the angle mark off avoids distraction from normal movie watching.

PIP Mark (on/off) – To turn on/off the display of a Picture-in-Picture mark when a Blu-ray Disc with secondary video is played. Keeping the PIP mark off avoids distraction from normal movie watching.

SAP Mark (on/off) – To turn on/off the display of a Secondary Audio

Program mark when a Blu-ray Disc with secondary video and audio is played. Keeping the SAP mark off avoids distraction from normal movie watching.

Screen Saver – To turn on/off the screen saver function. The screen saver is designed to minimize burn-in concerns for plasma and CRT display devices. The available options are:

On – After about 3 minutes of inactivity, the player will show an animated Cambridge Audio logo moving on a black background. This allows most areas of the screen to rest and gives all areas an equal opportunity to refresh.

Off – The screen saver will not be activated. Use this option if your TV does not have a burn-in issue.

Energy Saver – Video output will be turned off after 3 minutes of inactivity. Many projectors and LCD TVs will go into a standby or sleep mode and turn off their projection lamp or LCD backlight lamp, thus saving energy and prolonging the lamp life. When you press any button on the remote control or the player’s front panel, the screen saver will be cancelled and video output will be restored. If your TV is already in standby or sleep mode, you may need to wake up the TV by pressing a button on its remote or control panel.

1. Secondary Audio

To set the Secondary Audio Program mixing option. Some Blu-ray discs contain a secondary audio and video program, such as a director’s commentary. Some Blu-ray Discs have a sound effect when you make menu choices. This Setup Menu item allows you to decide whether to mix the Secondary Audio Program and menu clicking sound into the primary audio. The options are:

On – The Secondary Audio Program and menu clicking sound are mixed into the primary audio. Usually this will cause the primary audio volume to be slightly reduced. High resolution primary audio will be converted to a normal resolution in order to mix with the secondary audio.

Off – The Secondary Audio Program and menu clicking sound are not mixed into the primary audio and you cannot hear the secondary audio or menu clicking sound. This setting preserves the highest possible audio quality for the primary audio.

2. HDMI Audio

To select digital audio output format from the HDMI output. The options are:

Auto (default) – The player checks with the device connecting to HDMI output to automatically determine which audio format to use.

LPCM – Digital audio output via HDMI will be multi-channel Linear PCM format. When this option is selected, compressed audio bit streams will be decoded by the player and then sent as multi-channel PCM. This setting is recommended when connecting the HDMI output directly to a

TV or to a receiver without advanced audio decoding capabilities.

Bitstream – Digital audio output via HDMI will be in bitstream format.

This option is recommended when connecting the HDMI output to an A/V receiver or processor that supports advanced audio decoding of Dolby

TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio etc.

Off – No digital audio output via HDMI.

Note: If you use HDMI to connect audio to an HDMI A/V receiver or audio processor, it is important that you choose 720p or higher HDMI output resolution when playing high resolution audio content (DVD-Audio,

SACD, Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio). According to the HDMI specification, the bandwidth available for audio is proportional to the total bandwidth used by video. At 480p/576p resolution, the HDMI specification can only support 2 channels of audio with high sample rate

(up to 192kHz), or 8 channels of audio with standard sample rate (up to

48kHz). If you play high resolution audio content at the 480p/576p resolution, you may get reduced audio resolution, incomplete audio channels, or even no audio/video output at all. Choosing a higher output resolution such as 720p or above allows enough bandwidth for all high sample rate audio channels.

3. Coaxial/Optical Output

Used to set the output format for the coaxial/optical digital audio outputs.

The options are:

LPCM – Forces down-mixed 2-channel digital audio output. Choose this setting if your receiver/amplifier or DAC only supports stereo digital (PCM) audio.

Bitstream – Passes audio as compressed bitstream format to the receiver/amplifier. Choose this setting if your receiver/amplifier is capable of decoding Dolby Digital and/or DTS etc.

4. LPCM Rate Limit

To set the maximum Linear PCM output frequency for the coaxial/optical digital output. This menu item is intended to ensure that the audio output is compatible with equipment that cannot support high sample rates. It sets an upper limit to decide whether the player shall down-sample audio.

The options are:

Note:

When using the Stereo or 7.1 Analog Audio outputs the LPCM rate limit should always be set to 192kHz to allow the internal playback engine to feed the up-sampler with the maximum sample-rate the content supports.

48kHz – Supported by most equipment. Higher sample rate material will be downsampled to 48kHz.

96kHz – Allows a higher sampling rate and frequency response. If using an externally connected AV receiver or DAC via coaxial or optical, ensure that the receiver/amplifier can support it. Higher sample rate material will be downsampled to 96kHz.

192kHz – Allows the highest sampling rate and frequency response. If using an externally connected AV receiver or DAC via coaxial or optical, ensure that the receiver/amplifier can support it.

5. SACD Output

To select audio output format for SACD. The options are:

PCM – SACD Direct Stream Digital (DSD) data is decoded by the player and converted into multi-channel, high resolution PCM data. The HDMI output can be sent to an external AV receiver capable of receiving multi channel PCM (HDMI 1.1 or higher inputs are required). The 651/751BD’s own audio outputs are also active and playback of SACD material is possible by the 651/751BD itself.

DSD – SACD DSD data is output over HDMI without any conversion. For decoding by an external AV receiver capable of receiving DSD (HDMI 1.2a

or higher inputs are required and the receiver must actually include support for DSD as it is not a mandatory requirement of the HDMI spec).

6. HDCD Decoding

To set the audio decoding option for HDCD (High Definition Compatible

Digital) discs. The options are:

On – HDCD is decoded by the 651/751BD. For HDCD discs, this gives expanded dynamic range and improved audio resolution.

Off – HDCD is treated as regular CD and output as a native bitstream preserving the hidden encoding. This is useful when the 651/751BD is connected to an HDCD-capable A/V receiver via a digital audio output link (Coaxial, Optical, or HDMI) the output is unprocessed so the A/V receiver can perform HDCD decoding instead.

LT/RT – Left Total/Right Total. The centre and surround channels are decoded and then Matrix encoded into the two front channels. A Dolby

Pro Logic receiver can then decode the two channel audio that is output back into surround audio.

Stereo - This mode down-mixes multi-channel audio to 2-channel stereo output. For original stereo content the output will not change. For original multi-channel content the surround and centre channels will be mixed with the left and right front channels. Recommended for use with TV sets or stereo receiver/amplifiers (without ProLogic decoding).

5.1Ch – This mode enables 5.1ch decoded audio output. The number of actual output channels depends on the disc. If the source content has more channels, the surround back channels will be mixed into the surround channels.

7.1Ch – This mode enables 7.1ch decoded audio output. The number of actual output channels depends on the disc.

Test Tone

Test tone is a special group of artificially-created sounds that are used to test your audio speaker system and help to identify any wiring faults. By default the Test Tone is set to

"

" option of the

"

Audio Processing

" section of the Setup menu:

Large – Bass frequencies are passed to the speakers.

Small – Bass frequencies are not passed to the speakers to reduce possible distortion. If a subwoofer is available, bass frequencies are redirected to a subwoofer.

On (for subwoofer only) – Specify that a subwoofer is available.

Off – Speaker for the corresponding position does not exist. Audio for the missing speaker is redirected to other speakers or discarded if redirection is not possible.

Note

: The front, surround and surround back speakers are configured as pairs. Changes to the size of one speaker will automatically change the other speaker of the pair.

2. Distance

The speaker distance parameters sets delay control for the corresponding audio channel. This delay is used to compensate for the audio propagation time difference caused by the placement of speakers of different distances from the listening position.

Speaker distance delay is only applied if the player is decoding multichannel audio. If you use bitstream audio output to your A/V receiver, the bitstream audio is not adjusted for speaker distance delay.

Since the delay is calculated based on the distance difference from each speaker to the listener’s position, it is important to set the distance for the front speakers first and then the other speakers. Anytime you change the distance of the front speakers, the distance of the other speakers will be automatically adjusted to maintain the same distance difference.

For example, in the above diagram, measure the distance (in feet) from the primary listening position to the Front Left or Front Right Speaker. Your

Front Right and Left speakers must be the same distance from the listener. Enter the distance of the Front Speakers (1. in the above picture) into the

"

" menu.

Next, measure the distance (in feet) from the centre speaker (2) to the listening position. Move the cursor to highlight the Centre speaker in the

Channel Delay setup page, and enter the distance (as close as possible) in feet. Repeat for each speaker in the system (Centre, Surround Left,

Surround Right, Surround Back Left, Surround Back Right and Subwoofer) as available. The player will insert appropriate delay to the center, subwoofer and surround channels to make sure sound waves from different speakers arrive at the listener at the same time.

Notes

:

– The distance between the surround speakers and the listener must be shorter than or equal to that between the front speakers and the listener.

– The front, surround and surround back speakers are configured as pairs. Changes to the distance of one speaker will automatically change the other speaker of the pair.

3. Trim

The speaker trim level parameters sets the volume of each individual channel. For most accurate results, it is recommended that you use test tones from a calibration disc, such as Digital Video Essentials HD Basics, and a SPL (Sound Pressure Level) meter. The trim level can be set to +/-

10dB in 0.5dB increments.

1. Firmware Information

To display the currently installed firmware version.

2. Firmware Upgrade

To upgrade the player’s firmware. This operation is only available when the playback is completely stopped or when there is no disc loaded.

The firmware is the system software that controls the features and functions of the player. Since the Blu-ray disc specifications are new and evolving, it is possible that a Blu-ray disc manufactured after the player was manufactured use certain new features of the Blu-ray disc specifications. We may also introduce new features from time to time.

There are three ways to upgrade the player’s firmware. The options are:

Via Disc – From time to time, you may be able to download a disc image from the Cambridge Audio’s website www.cambridge-audio.com/care and burn an upgrade disc.

Via USB – You may also be able to download the firmware files from

Cambridge Audio’s web site to a USB drive and then use the USB drive to upgrade the player. For the above two cases closely follow any instructions on our website.

Via Network – If the player has a working Internet connection, you may upgrade the player directly over the Internet. Please follow the instructions on your TV screen.

3. Firmware Notification

To set whether the player should automatically check if new firmware versions are available via the Internet server and notify the user about new firmware. The options are:

On – Check for new firmware version automatically and notify the user about new firmware. Requires working network connection.

Off – Do not check for new firmware version automatically.

4. HDMI CEC

CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) is an optional HDMI feature that can enable convenient remote control and automatic setup of consumer electronics over the HDMI connection. The remote control function allows you to use a single remote handset to operate multiple devices connected via HDMI. For example, you may use the TV remote to control playback of the Blu-ray disc player. The automatic setup function can automatically turn on the TV and change to the correct input when you start playing a disc in the Blu-ray Disc player. It can also turn off the player automatically when you turn off the TV. The implementation and compatibility of this feature varies by device manufacturer. Each may only implement part of the features or add their own proprietary functions. The manufacturerspecific implementation of the HDMI CEC function is often given a proprietary name of

"

…Link

" or

"

…Sync

"

. The 651/751BD provides three modes for the HDMI CEC function:

HDMI 1 & 2 – HDMI CEC is enabled. Use this mode if your other devices are compatible with the player.

HDMI 1 & 2 (Limited) – HDMI CEC is enabled but the 651/751BD will only respond to playback control commands. It will not respond or issue power on/off and input selection commands. Use this mode if you do not want the automatic setup function to turn on/off your devices.

Off – HDMI CEC feature is turned off. The player will not respond to HDMI

CEC commands from other devices, nor will it setup other devices automatically.

5. Front Panel Display

6. IP Setting

To determine how the player obtains its IP address. The available options are:

Auto (DHCP) - The player automatically obtains its IP address information using DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol). This is the default setting. In most cases, automatic IP configuration is best and requires no user intervention.

Manual – Manually enter the numeric IP address information. For more information on how to manually configure the Internet connection and what values to use, please consult your broadband router/modem instruction manuals or call your Internet service provider.

IP Address – The Internet Protocol address of the player. When

"

IP

Configuration

" is set to

"

Auto (DHCP)

"

, the value displayed here is obtained using DHCP and cannot be changed.

Subnet Mask – Each IP address has an associated subnet mask. It is used by the player to decide whether to route network traffic through the router or directly to another device on the same network. When

"

IP

Setting

" is set to

"

Auto (DHCP)

"

, the value displayed here is obtained using DHCP and cannot be changed.

Gateway – The IP address of the router. It is also called "default gateway" or "default router". When "IP Setting" is set to "Auto (DHCP)", the value displayed here is obtained using DHCP and cannot be changed.

DNS 1 – The IP address of the first (primary) DNS (Domain Name

System) server. DNS is the mechanism to translate human-readable addresses to numeric IP addresses. When "IP Setting" is set to "Auto

(DHCP)", the value displayed here is obtained using DHCP and cannot be changed.

"

DNS 2 – The IP address of the second (secondary) DNS server. When

IP Setting

" is set to "Auto (DHCP)", the value displayed here is obtained using DHCP and cannot be changed.

7. Proxy Setting

To configure the proxy server settings. A proxy server works as an intermediary for network communication between clients and other servers, which can provide benefits like security, anonymity, speedup or circumventing regional restrictions.

On – To access the Internet via a proxy server.

Proxy Host: To enter the proxy host name using the remote control.

Proxy Port: To enter the proxy host port number using the remote control.

Off (default) – Do not use a proxy server.

8. Connection Test

To test the Internet connection. It is recommended that you test the connection when you initially connect the player to the Internet, or whenever changes to "IP Setting" and other network parameters are made.

Picture Adjustment

Picture Adjustment is a special section of the Video Setup menu. It allows you to fine tune many picture control parameters in order to achieve the optimal picture quality and visual result. To use Picture Adjustment, press the Setup button on the remote control to enter the player’s Setup Menu, and then choose "Video Setup" – "Picture Adjustment", then select the primary video output terminal. The Setup Menu will be replaced by the

Picture Adjustment menu:

For information on how to choose your primary video output, please refer to Primary Output section of this manual.

Depending on your primary video output, the detailed Picture Adjustment menu will be slightly different as HDMI1 uses the Marvell QDEO scaler which has more sophisticated features and algorithms for adjustment as below.

To change a picture adjustment parameter, use the / buttons to highlight the parameter, and use the / buttons to change its value.

To aid in the adjustment of picture control parameters, the picture adjustment menu will be reduced to only show the parameter being adjusted once you press the / buttons. The reduced menu will be positioned near the bottom of the screen.

You can continue adjusting the current parameter by pressing the / buttons. To select another parameter, press the / buttons. Press the

Enter button to return to the large Picture Adjustment menu.

To exit the Picture Adjustment menu and return to the Setup Menu, either select

"

Exit

" or press the Return button.

The following picture adjustment controls are available, for HDMI1,

HDMI2 and Component video:

Picture Mode – The 651/751BD allows you to save up to three (3) customized video modes.

Press the / buttons to switch the mode and all parameters will be automatically adjusted to their stored values. Changes to the current parameter values will be stored automatically when you exit the Picture

Adjustment screen or, switch to another Picture Mode.

Brightness – To adjust the brightness (black level) of the video output.

Contrast – To adjust the contrast (white level) of the video output.

Note

: Proper brightness and contrast settings are necessary for a quality video output. If you do not have the correct black and white levels, your images can appear washed out or can lose detail in shadows when watching darker scenes. Televisions have brightness (black level) and contrast (white level) controls; however it may require a combination of tweaking both the player and your television to get the optimal result.

First adjust the television’s picture controls for the best possible picture.

Once that is done, try changing the player’s settings to further refine the picture to the optimal result.

Hue – To adjust the hue (tint) of the video output.

Saturation –To adjust the saturation (colour intensity level) of the video output.

Sharpness – To set the sharpness of the video output (Detail/Edge

Enhancement), this a video processing function that can control the image sharpness but if overdone may cause unwanted artifacts.

For HDMI 1, the sophisticated QDEO video scaler is used sharpness level can be set between -16 and +16. The default is level 0, which turns off sharpness enhancement. The negative levels may be used to reduce or eliminate overly sharpened video, the picture being progressively softened.

The positive levels increase the sharpness. At level 1, the player applies low level Detail Enhancement, during which the video processor isolates the detailed parts from the original image, processes them separately and integrates back before the final output. At level 2, the player increases Detail Enhancement to a higher level. Generally, to make an image “sharper”, we recommend using level 1 and 2. At level 3 and above, the player adds Luminance Transition Improvement (LTI) and

Chroma Transition Improvement (CTI), which further sharpen the luminance transition and chroma transition. However, we do not recommend using level 3 and above unless the source content is from a poor source.

For HDMI 2 & Analog, the Mediatek chipsets in-built scaler is used and sharpness level can only be set between 0 and +2. The default is level 0.

The higher the level, the sharper the video details are. However, too high a sharpness level may cause while line etching around objects.

Noise Reduction – To select whether the player shall apply video noise reduction processing.

For HDMI 1, the noise reduction level can be set between 0 and 8. The default is level 0, which turns off noise reduction. When set to level 1, the QDEO scaler adjusts the picture quality by reducing “mosquito noise”

(artifacts around the outlines of objects) and “block noise” (mosaic-like patterns caused by video compression). These two noise reduction are also called Compression Artifacts Reduction (CAR) and have several levels of aggressiveness. When set to level 2, the player applies the Motion

Adaptive Video Noise Reduction (VNR), which handles the random noise and the film-grain noise (natural variation of picture intensity caused by film grain).

Its level is automatic because there is a noise estimator circuitry in the video processor that calculates how much noise presents and adjusts the level of VNR accordingly. When set to a high level between 3 and 4, the player applies both CAR and Motion Adaptive VNR, with more aggressive “block noise” reduction at level 4. At level 5, the player applies aggressive CAR for low quality video content, and adds Motion Adaptive

VNR at level 6. At level 7, the player applies the most aggressive CAR for very low quality video, and adds Motion Adaptive VNR at level 8.

Remember that excessive noise reduction may cause a loss of detail. We recommend using the noise reduction function only when you encounter poorly encoded or compressed video that has apparent noise artifacts.

For HDMI 2 & Analog, the noise reduction level can be set between 0 and

+3. The default is level 0. When user increases the level, the player adjusts the picture quality by applying mosquito noise reduction, random noise reduction and MPEG block noise reduction at the same time. The higher level user sets, the more aggressive noise reduction functions apply.

Colour Enhancement (HDMI 1 video output only) – Used to select a colour enhancement level (enhance certain colours in the spectrum) of the video output. It provides the ability to make more vivid some colours without causing hue shifts, loss of details or changes in skin tones.

Contrast Enhancement (HDMI 1 video output only) – Used to select a colour enhancement level (expands details in the shadows) on the video output.

azur 651/751BD

Filters (751BD only)

For all sources the 751BD up-samples all internally decoded material to

24/192kHz via an Analog Devices SHARC DSP.

This runs our proprietary code from Anagram Technologies which performs jitter suppression, up-sampling and anti-alias filtering for all 10 analog outputs (7.1 and Dedicated Stereo).

The front panel Filter button allows cycling between three different antialias filters as described below.

The three different Filter functions are: Linear Phase, Minimum Phase and Steep. All three filters are optimised specifically for audio playback.

Each offers excellent sound quality but differs subtly in optimisation, hence we’ve made all three available to you.

Note:

For clarity, all diagrams show the theoretical response of the DSP itself, excluding any analog filtering at the DAC outputs or the anti-aliasing filter applied during recording and/or mastering of the digital source.

The Linear Phase filter is a highly regarded audio filter offering low ripple in both the pass and stop bands, and what is known as constant group delay. Constant group delay means that audio signals of all frequencies are always delayed by the same amount when passing through the filter.

All audio is therefore fully time-coherent at the output.

The trade-off with this type of filter is that due to internal feed-forward in the DSP, its impulse response will exhibit some pre-ringing. In other words, when excited with a theoretical impulse, the output has both a small amount of pre- and post-spike amplitude ringing (albeit well damped).

The Minimum Phase filter is another highly regarded audio filter that offers even lower ripple in the pass and stop bands. Unlike the Linear

Phase filter, group delay is not constant so some time-coherence is lost; however, phase shift is low and the particular benefit with this filter is that the impulse response exhibits no pre-ringing.

Our Steep filter is a linear phase filter that has been optimised for stop band attenuation of close-in aliasing images. Here we have traded a little attenuation of the very highest frequency response (for 44.1kHz sampled material it would be -2dB at 20kHz) and a little more pre- and post-ringing for a very steep attenuation just outside the pass band. The Steep filter is able to attenuate aliasing at 22kHz by some 80dB.
