752BDazur
Introduction
Thank you for purchasing this Cambridge Audio Azur 752BD 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 752BD features almost universal disc/le compatibility and can
play back CD, HDCD, DVD-Video, DVD-Audio, Super Audio CD and
Blu-ray discs including those with 3D content plus most audio and
video le formats from both USB connected hard-drives and network
connected NAS drivers or servers.
Five WM8740 2-channel DACs from Wolfson Microelectronics are
featured giving both a permanent 7.1 and a separate Stereo analog
output. All analog outputs are also up-sampled via an Analog Devices
DSP running our proprietary ATF
algorithm from Anagram Technologies to 24 bits and 192kHz.
This careful audio design ensures that the 752BD 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.
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 deep-colour support and both can receive Audio
Return Channels (ARC) from TVs that support this feature.
ARC allows the TV to become an audio source to the BD Player allowing
you to listen to music or video streaming services that your TV may
feature in the best possible quality when up-sampled and output by the
752BD player.
The primary HDMI 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 from any source. Up-scaling
to 4K x 2K is possible for the very latest TVs that support this resolution.
S/P DIF, Toslink and two HDMI inputs (one of which also supports
MHL) plus the two ARC inputs allow the 752BD to be your digital hub
connecting a wide range of audio and video sources all of which can be
up-sampled and up-scaled by the 752BD for the best possible audio or
audio-visual experience.
An Ethernet connection is provided for BD Live, Network playback from
UPnP/DNLA servers and NAS drives and other interactive features via
the internet such as Picasa and YouTube. Additionally the 752BD 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 delity from Blu-ray discs.
The 752BD is also capable of outputting all of these formats as
bitstreams over HDMI for decoding in a suitable AV Receiver.
Lastly, the 752BD features an environmentally friendly low power
(<0.5W) standby circuit.
All this proprietary engineering is housed within our low resonance,
acoustically damped chassis. A backlit Azur Navigator remote control is
provided, giving full remote control of your Blu-ray player and if required
a Cambridge Audio amplier or AV receiver in an attractive and easy to
use handset.
Remember your 752BD 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-tting Instructions (UK only)
The cord supplied with this appliance is factory-tted with a UK mains plug tted
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 tted 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 t a 3-pin BS mains plug to the power cord, the wires
should be tted 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 tted or, if any other type of plug is used, a 3-amp or 5-amp
fuse must be tted, either in the plug or adaptor, or on the distribution board.

Disc care and handling
• To keep the disc clean from scratches or ngerprints, 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 ngerprints than DVD. Should you encounter
playback problems and see dirty spots on the disc surface, clean the
disc with a cleaning cloth. Wipe the disc from the centre out along the
radial direction. Do not wipe the disc in a circular motion.
• Do not use record cleaning sprays or solvents such as benzene, thinner
and anti-static spray.
• Do not attach labels or stickers to discs as this may cause the disc to
warp, become imbalanced or too thick, resulting in playback problems.
• Avoid exposing the discs to direct sunlight or heat sources.
• Do not use the following discs:
– Discs with exposed adhesive from removed stickers or labels. The
disc may get stuck inside the player.
– Warped or cracked discs.
– Irregularly shaped discs, such as heart or business card shapes.

Separate analogue stereo
The analogue stereo outputs should be used for play back of CDs,
DVDs etc in stereo through a conventional amplier 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 752BD, use stereo phono
cables (stereo 2RCA-2RCA).
2
Digital audio
The digital audio outputs should be used to decode the surround-sound
soundtracks of BD/DVDs with an external AV Receiver (Note: Digital output
must be set to
"RAW" in the Audio setup page). The 752BD 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 bre
optic cable should be used (only one at a time).

Analogue 2 ch/5.1/7.1
The 752BD 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 752BD setup menu.
For 5.1, connect to an AV receiver or amplied speaker system, use 6 x
phono/RCA cables.
For 7.1, connect to an AV receiver or amplied speaker system, use 8 x
phono/RCA cables.
