Introduction

Thank you for purchasing this Cambridge Audio Azur Blu-ray Player. Like all Cambridge Audio products, the 650BD adheres to three core principles – stunning performance, ease of use and incredible value.

The 650BD features almost universal disc compatibility and can play back CD, HDCD, DVD-Video, DVD-Audio, Super Audio CD and Blu-Ray discs. 24/192kHz Digital to Analogue converters and our usual careful audio design ensure that the 650BD 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 multichannel music discs.

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

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 650BD is also capable of outputting all of these formats as bitstreams over HDMI for decoding in a suitable AV Receiver. Video of up to 1080p resolution from BD discs at 50/60Hz or 24fps can be output over HDMI whilst the 650BD can process DVDs to provide an upscaled 1080p output.

Also featured is 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 650BD 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 the matching 650R 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.

Matthew Bramble Cambridge Audio Technical Director and the 650BD design team

FCC regulations

NOTE: THE MANUFACTURER IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY RADIO OR TV INTERFERENCE CAUSED BY UNAUTHORIZED MODIFICATIONS TO THIS EQUIPMENT. SUCH MODIFICATIONS COULD VOID THE USER AUTHORITY TO OPERATE THE EQUIPMENT.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the

FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.

If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

– Re-orient or relocate the receiving antenna.

– Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

– Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to

which the receiver is connected.

– Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Ventilation

IMPORTANT – The unit will become hot when in use. Do not stack multiple

units on top of each other. Do not place in an enclosed area such as a bookcase or in a cabinet without sufﬁcient ventilation.

Ensure that small objects do not fall through any ventilation grille. If this happens, switch off immediately, disconnect from the mains supply and contact your dealer for advice.

Positioning

Choose the installation location carefully. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight or close to a source of heat. No naked ﬂame sources, such as lighted candles, should be placed on the unit. Also avoid locations subject to vibration and excessive dust, cold or moisture. The unit can be used in a moderate climate.

This unit must be installed on a sturdy, level surface. Do not place in a sealed area such as a bookcase or in a cabinet. Do not place the unit on an unstable surface or shelf. The unit may fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult as well as serious damage to the product. Do not place other equipment on top of the unit.

Due to stray magnetic ﬁelds, turntables or CRT TVs should not be located nearby due to possible interference.

Electronic audio components have a running in period of around a week (if used several hours per day). This will allow the new components to settle down and the sonic properties will improve over this time.

Power sources

The unit should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power-supply to your home, consult your product dealer or local power company.

This unit can be left in Standby mode when not in use and will draw <1W in this state. To turn the unit off, switch off at the rear panel. If you do not intend to use this unit for a long period of time, unplug it from the mains socket.

Overloading

Do not overload wall outlets or extension cords as this can result in a risk of ﬁre or electric shock. Overloaded AC outlets, extension cords, frayed power cords, damaged or cracked wire insulation and broken plugs are dangerous. They may result in a shock or ﬁre hazard.

Be sure to insert each power cord securely. To prevent hum and noise, do not bundle the interconnect leads with the power cord or speaker leads.

Cleaning

To clean the unit, wipe its case with a dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use any cleaning ﬂuids containing alcohol, ammonia or abrasives. Do not spray an aerosol at or near the unit.

Battery disposal

Please dispose of any discharged batteries according to local environmental/electronic waste disposal guidelines.

Connections

Before making any connections, make sure all power is turned off and only use suitable interconnects.

Servicing

These units are not user serviceable. Never attempt to repair, disassemble or reconstruct the unit if there seems to be a problem. A serious electric shock could result if this precautionary measure is ignored. In the event of a problem or failure, please contact your dealer.

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.

Disc care and handling BD-ROM compatibility

• 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.

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.

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.

Connecting to the Internet

The 650BD supports the BD-Live feature offered on some Blu-ray Disc titles. BD-Live offers extra downloadable content and additional online interactive programs. The available BD-Live content varies by discs and studios, and may include additional subtitles, commentaries, movie trailers, games, and/or online chat.

Connecting the player to the Internet will also allow the player to obtain ﬁrmware updates via the Internet.

In order to utilize the BD-Live feature or update ﬁrmware via the Internet, the player needs to be connected to a broadband Internet connection. It is not necessary to connect to the Internet if you do not intend to use the BD-Live and online ﬁrmware updating functionality.

• Plug one end of a network cable (Category 5/5E straight through Ethernet cable) into the LAN port on the back of the unit.

• Plug the other end of the network cable into a LAN port on your broadband router or modem.

• Some network conﬁguration may be required. Please refer to the Network Setup section of the manual for more details.

• If you would like to connect the player to a broadband Internet connection via Wi-Fi, please use an Ethernet/wireless LAN media converter (also called a wireless bridge or a gaming adapter). These convert between Wi-Fi and Ethernet/Lan as supported by the 650BD. Refer to the operating instructions supplied with the media converter for details on how to conﬁgure it.

Note: Your broadband router must also support Wi-Fi access.

• Refer to the operating instructions supplied with the broadband router or modem, or contact the Internet service provider for questions related to setting up of a router or modem.

Note: Only connect the LAN port of the player to an Ethernet port that supports 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX. Connecting to any other ports or jacks, such as a phone jack, can damage the player.
