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 BluRay 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 necessar y 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.

• BDs with cartridge

• DVD-RAMs

• HD DVDs

• Data portion of CD-Extras

• BD-Video/DVD-Video with a different region code to the Blu-ray player

you have purchased.

• Some DualDiscs: A DualDisc is a two sided disc with DVD on one side

and digital audio on the other side. The digital audio side does not generally meet the technical speciﬁcations of the Compact Disc Digital Audio (CD-DA) format so playback is not guaranteed.

• Music discs encoded with copyright protection technologies: among

such discs, some again do not conform to the CD standard so playback is not guaranteed.

• 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.

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).

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.

Audio connections

Do not plug in the mains power lead or turn the unit on until all connections have been made.

Three types (two for 651BD) of audio only connection can be made between the 751BD and your stereo/AV system:

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.

Note: It is also possible to make an HDMI audio/video connection which carries both audio and video in the same cable. See later section.

However, when making an HDMI connection i.e. to an AV receiver, it is also often preferable to make an additional audio connection for CD and/or SACD/DVD-A playback.

Connection to a TV via an AV Receiver for HDMI 1.

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’, see later section.

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.

651/751BDazur

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.

Set the Primary Output option in the setup menu to ‘Analog’, see later section.

Note:

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

1080i over the component connections only.

Select the best output resolution

For the latest generation of 1080p, best output resolution will naturally be 1080p. For all other digital televisions this will likely be 720p or 1080i. These are general recommendations that work for most users, but there can be exceptions. Advanced users may want to try all supported resolutions and choose the one that provides the best visual result.

The 651/751BD supports a special its HDMI output. This resolution is recommended for use with external video processors or high-end TVs with high quality scalers. In Direct

" mode, the player works as a "transport". It decodes video from the

discs and then sends the raw video signal in its native resolution and format, without extra processing, to the external video processor or TV. The actual output resolution thus varies by content:

Content Source Direct Output Resolution

Select the audio setting

The Blu-ray disc format brings not only high resolution video, but also high bit rate audio such as Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD High Resolution and DTS-HD Master Audio. Blu-ray Discs may also include additional audio features such as menu click sound and Secondary Audio Program (SAP – audio associated with the secondary video in Picture-inPicture mode). Depending on the user preferences and other audio/video equipment connected to the player, the audio settings need to be adjusted to achieve the best result. The Easy Setup Wizard offers two basic selections to get you started.

The

"Compatible" setting conﬁgures audio output in a way that is generally

compatible with all types of equipment and content. If you connect the player to a television directly, or to a receiver with an HDMI 1.1/1.2 or optical/coaxial input, selecting the

"Compatible" setting is recommended.

When menu click sound and Secondary Audio Program are presented in the content, those will be mixed into the audio output.

The

"Advanced" setting conﬁgures audio output to send the original main

audio content to a connected receiver for decoding and reproducing. It requires a receiver capable of decoding all high bit rate audio formats. If you connect the player to a receiver supporting HDMI 1.3 and high bit rate audio formats (such as our 650R AV Receiver), selecting the

"Advanced" setting is recommended. Menu click sound and Secondary

Audio Program are turned off by default to preserve the original quality of the main audio content.

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

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.

Page 19

651/751BDazur

ENGLISH

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 BDLive 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

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.

Page 20

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

"Home menu" to assist you in navigating and playing

the ﬁles. You can also bring up the Home menu with the button on the remote control. The Home menu is the starting point for accessing media ﬁles.

Depending on what type of media ﬁles that you intend to play, you can choose from

"Music", "Movie" and "Photo" categories. The "Setup Menu"

selection will bring you to the player’s Setup Menu just like pressing the Setup button on the remote control.

Two further menu items are provided for future features.

The Internet menu may be used in the future for online streaming audio/video services. The My Network menu may allow the 651/751BD to access content over a network via UPnP AV from suitable servers.

Both features are experimental works in progress and not guaranteed parts of the 651/751BDs functionality. See the 651/751BD support page at www.cambridgeaudio.com for the latest details on these menus and any software updates available from Cambridge Audio.

Note streaming services are usually regional so any services that may be made available will usually vary from country to country also.

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.

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 per formed. 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.

ENGLISH

Page 26

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.

LPCM Bitstream Off

Bitstream

96K 192K

DSD

Off

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).

ENGLISH

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.

Speaker Conﬁguration (7.1 channel analogue audio output only)

The following settings determine how the 651/751BD’s internal surround-sound decoder operates. They do not affect audio transmitted over HDMI or S/P DIF/TOSLINK.

In the Speaker Conﬁguration menu you can conﬁgure speaker settings such as down-mix mode, number of speakers, their distance, size and trim level. The Speaker Conﬁguration menu shows an illustration of the speaker placements to assist you on properly conﬁguring the speaker parameters.

Upon entering this menu, the cursor is positioned on the front left speaker. You may use the / buttons to move the cursor. The  button moves the cursor in clockwise sequence, and the  button moves the cursor in counterclockwise sequence.

When the cursor is over the

"Down Mix" or "Exit" options, you can also use

the / buttons to highlight these options.

Down Mix Mode

Down mix is the process of converting multi-channel audio to a lesser number of channels. For example, converting a 5.1ch source to stereo or converting a 7.1ch source to 5.1ch. Down mixing allows the audio output from the player to match the exact number of speakers available in your home theatre system.

The current down mix mode is displayed in the lower right corner of the speaker placement illustration.

To change the audio down mix setting, press the Enter button while the cursor is over the

"Down Mix" option. The following down mix modes are

available:

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

"Off", with the status is displayed in the

lower left corner of the screen.

To begin the test, press the / buttons to highlight the

The following speaker parameters can be conﬁgured:

1. Size

The speaker size parameter sets bass ﬁltering control for the speakers. The bass frequency is set in the

"Crossover Frequency" 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

"Speaker Conﬁguration" 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.

Other Audio Processing Settings

1. Crossover Frequency

When the speaker size is set to

"Small" in "Speaker Conﬁguration", bass

frequencies are not passed to the speakers to reduce possible distortion, bass frequencies will instead be redirected to the subwoofer. The available options are:

40Hz / 60Hz / 80Hz / 90Hz / 100Hz / 110Hz / 120Hz / 150Hz / 200Hz / 250Hz – These are the available crossover frequencies. You can press

the / buttons and the Enter buttons to select it. This option applies to all speakers (center, front, surround, and surround back speakers). By default the crossover frequency is 80Hz.

2. Dynamic Range Control

To set the Dynamic Range Compression (DRC). DRC can smooth out the sonic peaks and valleys common with wide-range digital audio. Enabling DRC may make low level audio more audible during low-level listening. Turning off DRC restores the sonic energy present in the original recording. The available options are:

Auto – Play at the dynamic range speciﬁed by the disc. This option applies to Blu-ray Discs only. For other disc types no dynamic range compression is applied.

On – Turn on dynamic range compression.

Off – Turn off dynamic range compression.

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

To control the display intensity of the front panel Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) information window. This option allows you to dim it or turn it off. The available options are:

Standard - The VFD window is at full brightness.

Dim - The VFD window is at reduced brightness.

Off – The VFD window is turned off. In this mode the display resumes

momentarily when there is any user operation.

6. Persistent Storage

Persistent storage is a data storage area that holds additional contents for BonusView and BD-Live features. The data will be kept even if you turn off the player. The following persistent storage management options are available:

Storage Device – To select which storage device should be used as the persistent storage. The 651/751BD is equipped with 1GB of internal ﬂash memory. There are also two USB 2.0 ports on the player that can accept a USB drive to be used as the persistent storage. The choices are:

Internal Flash – Use the internal ﬂash memory for persistent storage.

USB Drive – Use a USB drive for persistent storage. To meet the

speciﬁcation for BD-Live, a USB ﬂash drive of 1GB or larger is required. A USB hard disk is not recommended.

Note

: The new storage device choice becomes effective only after the player is restarted. Please make sure that you turn off the player and then turn it back on after changing the

"Storage Device" option.

Total Space – To display the total space of the persistent storage.

Available Space – To display the currently available space of the

persistent storage. If the available space becomes too low, some Blu-ray Discs may not play properly.

PBC - To conﬁgure the WPS using Push Button Control. You need to push a PBC button on your wireless router or access point to initiate the wireless connection. Please follow the on-screen instruction.

Note:

– SSID is short for Service Set Identiﬁer. It is an identiﬁer for each wireless

router or access point, and is also referred as a network name.

– WPS is short for Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS). It is the latest standard

for easy and secure wireless home network conﬁguration. It is also named Wi-Fi Simple Conﬁg. To use WPS, a WPS compatible router or access point is required.

Page 34

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 intermediar y 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.

651/751BDazur

ENGLISH

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).

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.

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.

Note:

All ﬁlters exhibit the same ultimate roll-off of approximately 140dB.

The following table shows the ﬁlter stop band attenuation for 44.1kHz material as an example:

Linear Phase Minimum Phase Steep

Roll-off at 20kHz -0.1dB -0.1dB -2dB

Roll-off at 22kHz -10dB -10dB -82dB

Ultimate roll-off 140dB 140dB 140dB

We encourage you to experiment with the ﬁlters to determine which sound best to your ears and using your source equipment/programme material.
