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 par ticularly 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.

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.

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.

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.

Important information if you are using a Cambridge Audio ampliﬁer or AV receiver

Amp/AVR buttons

The 651/751BD remote also has buttons that allow control of a Cambridge Audio azur ampliﬁer or AV receiver.

Note: These buttons are by default set to transmit codes for all current Azur AV Receivers.

The exceptions to this are the older 340R and 540R models. For these models, simply remove the batteries, leave the remote for a few minutes and then hold down the Source button whilst re-inserting the batteries.

To control an Azur stereo Ampliﬁer, follow the same steps as above, but hold down the Standby/On/Mute button.

Source

Press repeatedly to scroll through the source inputs

one by one.

Standby/On/Mute

Press to switch the ampliﬁer/AV receiver between Standby mode and On. Press and hold to mute/un-mute the ampliﬁer/AV receiver.

Volume

Press to decrease or increase the volume of the ampliﬁer/ AV Receiver.

By default the Standby/Mute and Volume buttons on the remote control will control a separate Cambridge Audio Ampliﬁer or AVR.

For users who don’t have a Cambridge Audio ampliﬁer or A/V Reciever, the 651/751BD has an optional internal volume control that can be access via the remote control only.

Press and hold the button on the remote whilst inserting the batteries to enable this feature.

In this mode pressing the Standby/Mute will control 651/751BD’s mute function and Vol up/Vol down buttons will control 651/751BD’s volume function.

NNoottee

: The volume control will start when ﬁrst enabled at maximum volume. Ensure you turn this down to minimum before connecting and using the 651/751BD with an ampliﬁer.

Once enabled, the volume will always retain its last used setting at power up/down.

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.

• 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.

NNoottee::

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.

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:

Separate Analogue Stereo (751BD only)

Digital Audio

Analogue 2 ch/5.1/7.1

ront left

speaker

V receiver

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.

Speaker diagram shown for 5.1 channel setup. For 7.1 add two rear speakers.

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).

NNoottee::

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.

Centre speaker

Surround right speaker

Subwoofer

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.
