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 ‘Lor coloured RED.  
The wire which is coloured GREEN/YELLOW must  
be connected to the terminal which is marked  
with the letter ‘E’ or coloured GREEN.  
If a standard 13-amp (BS 1363) plug is used, a 3-amp fuse must be fitted or, if any  
other type of plug is used, a 3-amp or 5-amp fuse must be fitted, either in the plug  
or adaptor, or on the distribution board.

Disc care and handling  
• 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.

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.

Analogue 2 ch/5.1/7.1  
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).  
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 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-

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’,

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  
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

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.

18  
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.  
Note:  
5. Press the Enter button to apply the selected output resolution. Or, if

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)

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.  
27  
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.

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  
audio output to meet your specific preference. The following chart  
provides a reference to what type of audio signal can be expected.

missing speaker is redirected to other speakers or discarded if redirection  
is not possible.  
Setup  
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

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

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.

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.

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 /buttons 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 /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 /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 /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.
