azur 651/751BD

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing this Cambridge Audio Azur Blu-ray Player. Like

all Cambridge Audio products, our Blu-ray players adhere to our three

core principles – stunning performance, ease of use and incredible

value.

The 651BD/751BD both features almost universal disc compatibility and

can play back CD, HDCD, DVD-Video, DVD-Audio, Super Audio CD and Blu-

Ray discs including those with 3D content. 24/192kHz Digital to Analogue

converters and our usual careful audio design ensure that the

651BD/751BD can reproduce the dynamics and scale required for

modern movie soundtracks whilst also being able to reproduce a

genuinely musical performance with either stereo or multi-channel music

discs.

A full range of HDMI, digital and analogue outputs are ﬁtted. These allow

the connection of suitably equipped TVs and AV receivers.

Twin HDMI outputs allow two screens or a screen and a projector to be

connected at the same time. Both are fully compatible with the HDMI 1.4

standard for 3D TV and deepcolour support.

The primary output also features a Marvell QDEO scaler with motion

adaptive noise reduction and a host of technologies to further improve

the picture quality for this output.

An Ethernet connection is provided for BD Live and other interactive

features via the internet. Additionally the 751BD is supplied with a USB

Wi-Fi dongle.

The latest surround-sound formats are supported including decoding of

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

Resolution Audio in Stereo, 5.1 or 7.1 variants. In particular support for

the true lossless Dolby True HD and DTS HD Master Audio formats

provides unprecedented audio ﬁdelity from Blu-ray discs.

The 651BD/751BD is also capable of outputting all of these formats as

bitstreams over HDMI for decoding in a suitable AV Receiver.

Both models use 24/192kHz Digital to Analogue converters. The 651BD

features a Cirrus Logic CS4382A 8 Channel multi-dac to create its 7.1

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

The 751BD instead uses ﬁve WM8740 stereo DACs from Wolfson

Microelectronics and features both a permanent 7.1 and a separate

Stereo output. For the 751BD all analog outputs are also up-sampled via

an Analog Devices DSP running our proprietary Q5 Upsampling and jitter

suppression algorithm from Anagram Technologies to 24 bits and

192kHz.

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

circuit.

All this proprietary engineering is housed within our low resonance,

acoustically damped chassis. An Azur Navigator remote control is also

provided, giving full remote control of your Blu-ray player and if required

a Cambridge Audio ampliﬁer or AV receiver in an attractive and easy to

use handset.

Remember your 651BD/751BD can only be as good as the system it is

connected to. Please do not compromise on your AV receiver or speaker

package and always use good quality video and audio cabling. Naturally

we particularly recommend AV receivers such as those from the

Cambridge Audio Azur range, which has been designed to the same

exacting standards as this product. Your dealer can also supply excellent

quality Cambridge Audio interconnects to ensure your system realises its

full potential.

Thank you for taking the time to read this manual; we recommend you

keep it for future reference.

Plug-ﬁtting Instructions (UK only)

The cord supplied with this appliance is factory-ﬁtted with a UK mains plug ﬁtted with

a 3-amp fuse inside. If it is necessary to change the fuse, it is important that a

3-amp fuse is used. If the plug needs to be changed because it is not suitable for

your socket, or becomes damaged, it should be cut off and an appropriate plug

ﬁtted following the wiring instructions below. The plug must then be disposed of

safely, as insertion into a mains socket is likely to cause an electrical hazard. Should

it be necessary to ﬁt a 3-pin BS mains plug to the power cord, the wires should be

ﬁtted as shown in this diagram. The colours of the wires in the mains lead of this

appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals

in your plug. Connect them as follows:

The wire which is coloured BLUE must be

connected to the terminal which is marked with

the letter ‘N’ or coloured BLACK.

The wire which is coloured BROWN must be

connected to the terminal which is marked with

the letter ‘L’ or coloured RED.

The wire which is coloured GREEN/YELLOW must

be connected to the terminal which is marked

with the letter ‘E’ or coloured GREEN.

If a standard 13-amp (BS 1363) plug is used, a 3-amp fuse must be ﬁtted or, if any

other type of plug is used, a 3-amp or 5-amp fuse must be ﬁtted, either in the plug

or adaptor, or on the distribution board.

• To keep the disc clean from scratches or ﬁngerprints, handle the disc

by its edge. Do not touch the recording surface.

• HD DVDs

• Data portion of CD-Extras

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

you have purchased.

• 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.

• 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.

• Do not use record cleaning sprays or solvents such as benzene, thinner

and anti-static spray.

• Music discs encoded with copyright protection technologies: among

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

is not guaranteed.

• 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.

• Make sure the broadband Internet connection is available and the

Wi-Fi function on your wireless router or access point has been turned

on, and plug the adaptor into the rear USB 2.0 port of your 751BD.

• 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.

• After connecting the adaptor, some network conﬁguration is required.

Please refer to the ‘Network Setup’ section of this manual.

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.

Audio connections

Do not plug in the mains power lead or turn the unit on until all

connections have been made.

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.

Three types (two for 651BD) of audio only connection can be made

between the 751BD and your stereo/AV system:

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

azur 651/751BD

Analogue video connections

The 651/751BD can output video in both fully digital (HDMI) and

analogue (Composite or Component) formats. If your TV set supports

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

Also note video up-conversion of content over the component connections

is limited by CSS encryption on most discs.

The HDCP protected HDMI outputs do not suffer this limitation and offer

full up-conversion of all content.

If your TV set supports only analogue video the preferred connection is (in

declining order of quality) Component and then Composite.

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

3RCA).

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

see later section.

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

RCA).

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

1080i over the component connections only.

TV/Monitor

HDMI connections

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.

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.

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.

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.

Both outputs can pass 3D TV signals.

Set the Primary Output option in the setup menu to ‘HDMI 2’,

see later section.

This is necessary to allow HDMI 2 to output high resolution audio.

Connecting to two displays using dual HDMI

The 651/751BD features two HDMI outputs.

Setting up the player

Accessing the Easy Setup Wizard

When the player is turned on for the ﬁrst time, an Easy Setup Wizard

screen will appear. This is a series of guided instructions designed to

conﬁgure the basic settings for the unit.

Select the best output resolution

For the latest generation of 1080p, "Full HD" or "True HD" TV displays, the

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.

Note:

If the Easy Setup Wizard has previously been completed or

cancelled, it will no longer initiate when you turn on the unit. To access

Easy Setup Wizard again, press the Setup button on the remote control,

select Device Setup, then Reset Factory Default. Select "OK" to conﬁrm

loading the factory default settings. Once the factory default settings are

loaded the Easy Setup Wizard will appear again.

The 651/751BD supports a special "Source Direct" output resolution on

its HDMI output. This resolution is recommended for use with external

video processors or high-end TVs with high quality scalers. In "Source

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:

To start the Easy Setup Wizard, please follow these steps:

1. Turn on the TV.

2. Turn on the player.

Auto, 1080p, 1080i, 720p, 480p/576p, 480i/576i, and Source Direct. If

"Auto" is selected, the player will determine its output resolution based on

the best signal resolution that the TV can display.

Choose the primary video output

The player can output video through its HDMI and component output

terminals. Composite video output is always available but not

recommended. By setting the "Primary Video Output" option, the player

can optimize video output of the selected terminal. The choices are

"HDMI 1", "HDMI 2" and "Analog". If you connect the player to the TV using

an HDMI cable, please select "HDMI 1" or "HDMI 2" correspondingly. If

you connect the player to the TV using component video cables, please

select "Analog".

For the Analog (component) output, the following output resolutions are

available: 1080p, 1080i, 720p, 480p/576p and 480i/576i.

Note:

1080p only applies to HDMI output, if it is selected for component

video outputs, it will automatically be down-scaled to 1080i. Please refer

to the speciﬁcations of your TV to ﬁnd the best resolution to use.

Enter

Press the ꢀꢁbuttons to select the desired output resolution, then press

the Enter button. The player will apply the selected output resolution and

ask you to conﬁrm the selection. If your TV supports the selected

resolution, you will see a dialog box with a countdown clock. Use the ꢂ

button to highlight the "OK" option and press the Enter button to save the

resolution setting. If your TV does not support the selected resolution,

you may see a black screen or an error message. In this case please wait

for 15 seconds and the Easy Setup screen will reappear. Select a different

resolution that your TV can support.

Note: The best performance will be provided over the HDMI connection.

Between the two HDMI outputs, HDMI 1 should be given priority for use

since it beneﬁts from the superior Marvell QDEO video processing

solution.

To make your selection, use the ꢀꢁbuttons to highlight the choice, and

then press the Enter button to go to the next

Setting up the player cont.

Note:

Select the audio setting

• In case you are not able to get a picture using the HDMI or component

output, please connect the player to the TV using the composite video

output, and then use the Setup Menu to adjust the player settings.

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-in-

Picture 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.

• Video up-conversion over the component output is only available for

unencrypted discs such as home video and consumer-created

contents. Most commercially pressed DVD discs are CSS-encrypted and

will be limited to 480i/480p resolution. This restriction applies to the

component output only. The HDMI output is protected with HDCP and

has no such restriction.

Determine the display aspect ratio

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

4:3 Letterbox - Alternatively you can select

this screen when connected to a 4:3 TV

set. The full widescreen picture is

displayed on the screen with black strips

on the top and bottom of the screen.

4:3 PanScan - You can select this screen

when connected to a 4:3 TV set. The

widescreen picture will display on the full

screen, but some parts of the video picture

will be cut off automatically.

Enter

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.

16:9 Wide - Select this screen when

connected to a 16:9 widescreen TV set.

The full picture will now normally be

displayed with no picture cropping (unless

the movie itself has black bars recorded

into the video).

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.

16:9 Wide/Auto - 16:9 (widescreen) as well as 4:3 sources will be

displayed in their native aspect ratio. Please note that in this mode 4:3

sources will be displayed with black borders on both sides to maintain

the correct 4:3 aspect ratio.

Press the ꢀꢁbuttons buttons to select one of the audio setting choices,

and then press the Enter button. The two basic audio setting choices may

not cover all situations. You can further customize the audio settings

using the player’s Setup Menu.

Note

: If you are using a plasma or widescreen CRT display you will want

to avoid leaving black bars on the screen for any length of time as you may

encounter temporary "burn-in" where the display retains memory of the

"used" part of screen and the unused (black bar) portions are clearly

deﬁned on the screen during subsequent viewing sessions. The "16:9

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

Complete the Easy Setup Wizard

Once you have selected the audio setting, the initial Easy Setup Wizard is

completed.

Press the ꢀꢁbuttons to select the proper aspect ratio for your TV, then

press the Enter button.

Enter

Press the Enter button to close the Easy Setup Wizard. Your player is now

ready for use. You will see a background screen with a Cambridge Audio

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.

The angle mark is also shown on the front panel display.

2. Press and hold the Angle/Zoom button on the remote control to select

the desired playing angle.

Picture-in-Picture and Secondary Audio

3. To resume normal playback, hold the Angle/Zoom button until the

default angle is displayed.

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.

Note:

This function is available only when the discs are recorded with

multiple angles. The Angle mark display shows when an alternative angle

is available. The Angle mark display on the screen can be turned off using

the Setup Menu of the player.

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.

Zoom

To change the zoom level, press and hold the Angle/Zoom button on the

remote control. Holding down the Angle/Zoom button will switch the zoom

level in the following sequence: 2x, 3x, 4x, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4 then back to

normal.

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.

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

is turned off.

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

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

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

Note:

Blu-ray disc menu

• This function is available only when the discs are recorded with

secondary video and audio programs.

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.

• 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.

2. During playback, press the Pop-up Menu button to access the pop-up

menu. Press the Top Menu button to access the top menu.

• 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.

3. Navigate the menu using the (ꢀꢁꢂꢃ) Navigation buttons, and then

press the Enter button to make the selection.

4. Some menus make use of the colour buttons. You can select menu

functions by pressing the corresponding Colour button on the remote

control.

Some Blu-ray disc titles are released with the BD-Live feature. BD-Live

offers extra downloadable contents and additional online interactive

programs. The available BD-Live content varies by disc and studio, and

may include additional subtitles, commentaries, preview trailers, games,

and online chat. The player needs to be connected to the Internet in order

to play BD-Live contents.

azur 651/751BD

Depending on how the studios organise their BD-Live contents, some Blu-ray

discs may start downloading BD-Live content when playback starts; some

have a BD-Live selection on its main menu; some may show a prompt to ask

whether you would like to start downloading; and some may ask you to sign

up for a membership or account. Please follow the instructions that come with

the disc to enjoy BD-Live contents.

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.

Your Internet connection speed, the overall Internet trafﬁc situation and

the capacity of the BD-Live content servers can all affect how fast BD-

Live content can be downloaded. If you encounter slow downloading or

intermittent playback, please play the disc without accessing the BD-Live

features, or try again at a different time.

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 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.

• 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.

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:

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.

1. Make sure the video cable is properly connected.

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

Note:

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.

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.

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).

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

Audio mode.

video output, HDMI output resolution will be 1080p and component

output resolution will be 1080i.

Note:

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

1080p). If an incompatible output resolution is selected, you will get a

blank screen or an error message. In this case please select an output

resolution that is supported by the TV.

• In case you are not able to get a picture using the HDMI or component

output, please connect the player to the TV using the composite video

output, then use the Setup menu to adjust the player settings.

• Video up-conversion over the component output is only available for

unencrypted discs such as home video and consumer-created

contents. Most commercially pressed DVD discs are CSS-encrypted and

will be limited to 480i/480p resolution. This restriction applies to the

component output only. The HDMI output is protected with HDCP and

has no such restriction.

Other media playback

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/thumb-

drives or e-Sata hard-drives.

Playing music ﬁles

To play digital music ﬁles stored on an optical disc or external drive, select

"Music" from the Home Menu. A ﬁle browser will appear to assist you in

navigating the ﬁles and folders.

The ﬁrst step is to select the "Data Disc" or external device that contains

the music ﬁles. The player will take a moment to read the disc and list the

folders and music ﬁles.

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 “hot-

plugging”. 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.

5. TV Aspect Ratio

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

The following HDMI options are available:

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.

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:

4:3 Pan & Scan – Choose this when the display is standard 4:3. A

widescreen image will be stretched.

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.

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.

RGB Video Level – Forces the HDMI output to use RGB colour space

and normal signal range suitable for TV type displays.

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.

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.

6. TV System

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.

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.

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.)

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.

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.

Multi-system – No system conversion is performed. The output video

system is the same as that encoded on the disc. Blu-ray discs encoded

with 24Hz frame rate are converted to 60Hz frame rate if neither

1080p24 Output nor Source Direct output resolution is enabled. This

mode requires a TV that supports both NTSC and PAL systems.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

8. 1080p24 Output

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.

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)

Setup menu continued

The available options are:

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.

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

for the output.

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.

30 Bits (Dithered) – Use the 30-bit per pixel Deep Colour mode with

dithering of any over 30 bit content.

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.

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.

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.

Off – The screen saver will not be activated. Use this option if your TV

does not have a burn-in issue.

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:

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.

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.

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.

Audio Format Setup

Setup Menu

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.

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.

1. Secondary Audio

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

be downsampled to 48kHz.

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:

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.

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.

5. SACD Output

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

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.

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.

2. HDMI Audio

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

are:

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).

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.

Setup menu continued

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.

Blu-ray Discs may contain many types of audio signal formats, some of

those are of the high resolution lossless types such as Dolby TrueHD and

DTS-HD Master Audio. Blu-ray Discs also have many optional audio

components such as the Secondary Audio Program and the menu clicking

sound. The player’s Audio Format Setup menu allows you to conﬁgure the

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

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.

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.

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).

2. Distance

Other Audio Processing Settings

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.

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:

Speaker distance delay is only applied if the player is decoding multi-

channel audio. If you use bitstream audio output to your A/V receiver, the

bitstream audio is not adjusted for speaker distance delay.

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.

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.

2. Dynamic Range Control

Distances:

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:

1 - Listener to Front

2 - Listener to Centre

3 - Listener to Surround Left

Speaker Icons:

FL - Front Left

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.

FR - Front Right

C - Centre

SW - Subwoofer

SBR

SL - Surround Left

SR - Surround Right

SBL - Surround Back Left

SBR - Surround Back Right

On – Turn on dynamic range compression.

Off – Turn off dynamic range compression.

Device Setup

The "Device Setup" section of the Setup Menu system allows you to

conﬁgure additional player options related to the hardware and control

functions. The menu items in this section are:

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.

Setup 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.

4. HDMI CEC

9. Reset Factory Defaults

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 manufacturer-

speciﬁc 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:

To reset all settings to the factory default value.

Note

: The parental control password and ratings will not be reset. This

operation is only available when the playback is completely stopped or

when there is no disc loaded.

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.

access point is required.

Setup menu continued

6. IP Setting

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 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.

To change a picture adjustment parameter, use the ꢀ/ꢁ buttons to

highlight the parameter, and use the ꢂ/ꢃbuttons to change its value.

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.

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 ꢂ/ꢃ buttons. The reduced menu will be

positioned near the bottom of the screen.

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.

You can continue adjusting the current parameter by pressing the ꢂ/ꢃ

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.

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.

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)

7. Proxy Setting

customized video modes.

To conﬁgure the proxy server settings. A proxy server works as an

intermediary for network communication between clients and other

servers, which can provide beneﬁts like security, anonymity, speedup or

circumventing regional restrictions.

Press the ꢂ/ꢃ 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.

On – To access the Internet via a proxy server.

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

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

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

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

control.

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.

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.

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

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

Picture Adjustment

output.

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:

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.

For information on how to choose your primary video output, please refer

to Primary Output section of this manual.

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.

azur 651/751BD

Filters (751BD only)

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.

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).

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

reduction processing.

The front panel Filter button allows cycling between three different anti-

alias ﬁlters as described below.

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).

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.

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.

frequency/FS (input sampling rate)

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.

Contrast Enhancement (HDMI 1 video output only) – Used to select a

colour enhancement level (expands details in the shadows) on the video

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).

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.

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.
