azur 650BD
Introduction
Thank you for purchasing this Cambridge Audio Azur Blu-ray Player. Like
all Cambridge Audio products, the 650BD adheres to three core
principles – stunning performance, ease of use and incredible value.
The 650BD features almost universal disc compatibility and can play
back CD, HDCD, DVD-Video, DVD-Audio, Super Audio CD and Blu-Ray
discs. 24/192kHz Digital to Analogue converters and our usual careful
audio design ensure that the 650BD 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.
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 650BD is also capable of outputting all of these formats as
bitstreams over HDMI for decoding in a suitable AV Receiver. Video of up
to 1080p resolution from BD discs at 50/60Hz or 24fps can be output
over HDMI whilst the 650BD can process DVDs to provide an upscaled
1080p output.
Also featured is 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 650BD 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 the matching 650R 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.

and the 650BD design team

FCC regulations
Cleaning
NOTE: THE MANUFACTURER IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY RADIO OR
TV INTERFERENCE CAUSED BY UNAUTHORIZED MODIFICATIONS TO THIS
EQUIPMENT. SUCH MODIFICATIONS COULD VOID THE USER AUTHORITY
TO OPERATE THE EQUIPMENT.
To clean the unit, wipe its case with a dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use any
cleaning fluids containing alcohol, ammonia or abrasives. Do not spray an
aerosol at or near the unit.
Battery disposal
Please dispose of any discharged batteries according to local
environmental/electronic waste disposal guidelines.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the
limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the
FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and,
if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
Connections
Before making any connections, make sure all power is turned off and
only use suitable interconnects.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on,
the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more
of the following measures:
Servicing
These units are not user serviceable. Never attempt to repair,
disassemble or reconstruct the unit if there seems to be a problem.
A serious electric shock could result if this precautionary measure is
ignored. In the event of a problem or failure, please contact your dealer.
– Re-orient or relocate the receiving antenna.
– Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
– Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to
which the receiver is connected.
– Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Ventilation
IMPORTANT – The unit will become hot when in use. Do not stack multiple
units on top of each other. Do not place in an enclosed area such as a
bookcase or in a cabinet without sufficient ventilation.
Ensure that small objects do not fall through any ventilation grille. If this
happens, switch off immediately, disconnect from the mains supply and
contact your dealer for advice.
Positioning
Choose the installation location carefully. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight
or close to a source of heat. No naked flame sources, such as lighted
candles, should be placed on the unit. Also avoid locations subject to
vibration and excessive dust, cold or moisture. The unit can be used in a
moderate climate.
This unit must be installed on a sturdy, level surface. Do not place in a
sealed area such as a bookcase or in a cabinet. Do not place the unit on
an unstable surface or shelf. The unit may fall, causing serious injury to
a child or adult as well as serious damage to the product. Do not place
other equipment on top of the unit.
Due to stray magnetic fields, turntables or CRT TVs should not be located
nearby due to possible interference.
Electronic audio components have a running in period of around a week
(if used several hours per day). This will allow the new components to
settle down and the sonic properties will improve over this time.
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:
Power sources
The unit should be operated only from the type of power source indicated
on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power-supply to
your home, consult your product dealer or local power company.
This unit can be left in Standby mode when not in use and will draw <1W
in this state. To turn the unit off, switch off at the rear panel. If you do not
intend to use this unit for a long period of time, unplug it from the mains
socket.
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.
Overloading
Do not overload wall outlets or extension cords as this can result in a risk
of fire or electric shock. Overloaded AC outlets, extension cords, frayed
power cords, damaged or cracked wire insulation and broken plugs are
dangerous. They may result in a shock or fire hazard.
The wire which is coloured GREEN/YELLOW must
be connected to the terminal which is marked
with the letter ‘E’ or coloured GREEN.
Be sure to insert each power cord securely. To prevent hum and noise, do
not bundle the interconnect leads with the power cord or speaker leads.
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
BD-ROM compatibility
• To keep the disc clean from scratches or fingerprints, handle the disc
by its edge. Do not touch the recording surface.
Since the Blu-ray Disc specifications are new and evolving, some discs
may not play properly depending on the disc type, version and encoding.
It is possible that a Blu-ray disc manufactured after the player was
manufactured uses certain new features of the Blu-ray Disc
specifications. To ensure the best possible viewing experience, the player
may need a firmware or software update from time to time.
• 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.
Copyright protection
• Do not use record cleaning sprays or solvents such as benzene, thinner
and anti-static spray.
This product incorporates copyright protection technology that is
protected by U.S. patents and other intellectual property rights. Use of
this copyright protection technology must be authorized by Macrovision
Corporation, and is intended for home and other limited viewing uses only
unless otherwise authorized by Macrovision Corporation. Reverse
engineering or disassembly is prohibited.
• 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.
Region management information
– Warped or cracked discs.
This player is designed and manufactured to respond to the region
management information of DVD or BD discs. If the region number of a
BD-Video or DVD disc does not correspond to the region number of this
player, this player cannot play the disc.
– Irregularly shaped discs, such as heart or business card shapes.
BD-Video – This player plays BD-Video with marks that match the code on
the back of the unit (i.e. A, B or C).
Discs that have no region coding are also playable. These usually have all
3 region codes on the packaging in a pyramid.
DVD-Video – This player plays DVD-Video with marks that match the
region code on the back of the unit (i.e. 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5).
Discs that are encoded for All regions are also playable.

• Plug the other end of the network cable into a LAN port on your
broadband router or modem.
• Some network configuration may be required. Please refer to the
Network Setup section of the manual for more details.
• If you would like to connect the player to a broadband Internet
connection via Wi-Fi, please use an Ethernet/wireless LAN media
converter (also called a wireless bridge or a gaming adapter). These
convert between Wi-Fi and Ethernet/Lan as supported by the 650BD.
Refer to the operating instructions supplied with the media converter
for details on how to configure it.
Note: Your broadband router must also support Wi-Fi access.
• 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.
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 of audio only connection can be made between the 650BD
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 stereo
Analogue 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 650BD is also capable of decoding Surround-Sound soundtracks
itself and outputting these as analogue 5.1/7.1 depending on the settings
in the Speaker setup page in the 650BD 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 (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 650BD, use stereo phono
cables (stereo 2RCA-2RCA).
2
Digital audio
The digital audio outputs should be used to decode the surround-sound
soundtracks of DVDs with an external AV Receiver (Note: Digital output must
be set to "RAW" in the Audio setup page). The 650BD sends an undecoded
audio bitstream to the AV Receiver for decoding into 5.1/7.1 etc.
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 650BD setup.

Analogue video connections
The 650BD can output video in both fully digital (HDMI) and analogue
(Composite, S-Video and Component) formats. If your TV set supports
HDMI then this is the preferred format (see next section).
Component - Connect with 75 ohm Component video cables (3RCA-
3RCA).

HDMI connections
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.
Note: The Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby True HD, DTS HD High Resolution and
DTS HD Master Audio can only be passed by the 650BD over HDMI.
As HDMI can carry both digital audio and video, HDMI can be used to
connect to AV receivers that support this function for external decoding.
DVI output can be supported simply by using DVI to HDMI adaptors as
these two connection types are compatible. When using DVI only video
will be passed to the TV/Monitor. A Co-axial (SPDIF) or Optical (TOSlink)
digital audio connection must be made from the 650BD to the AV receiver
for it to be able to receive audio and decode surround sound etc.

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 650BD 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.

Source Direct Output Resolution
3. Switch the input selection on your TV so that the TV displays the signal
from the player. You should see the first step of the Easy Setup Wizard.

The first step of the Easy Setup Wizard gives you the opportunity to skip
the entire wizard. If you are familiar with setting up audio/video
equipment and would like to fully customize the player settings using its
setup menu, you may use the ꢂꢃbuttons to select the "Cancel" option,
then press the Enter button to exit the Easy Setup Wizard. Otherwise, to
continue with the Easy Setup Wizard, select the "OK" option and press
the ‘Enter button.
Depending on your selection of "Primary Video Output", the available
output resolution selections will differ. For the HDMI output, the following
output resolutions are available:
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
For the component output, the following output resolutions are available:
1080i, 720p, 480p/576p and 480i/576i. Please refer to the
specification of your TV to find the best resolution to use.
The player can output HD video through its HDMI or component output
terminals. By setting the "primary video output" option, the player can
optimize video output for the selected terminal. The choices are "HDMI"
and "Component". If you connect the player to the TV using an HDMI
cable, please select "HDMI". If you connect the player to the TV using
component video cables, please select "Component".
Note: HDMI is always the prefered option for best video quality.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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
and Blu-ray Disc logo. Please follow the rest of the user manual for basic
and advanced operations.

Operating instructions continued
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 650BD 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.

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 ꢀꢁ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.
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.

minimize burn-in concerns for plasma and CRT display devices. The
available options are:
On – After about 3 minutes of inactivity, the player will show an animated
Cambridge Audio logo moving on a black background. This allows most
areas of the screen to rest and gives all areas an equal opportunity to
refresh.
6. 1080p24 Output
This option only applies to the HDMI output at 1080p resolution. Many
Blu-ray discs that originated from theatrical movies are encoded using
24Hz frame rate, the same number of frames per second as the original
theatrical film. If your TV properly supports 1080p 24Hz, smoother motion
can be achieved by enabling 1080p24 output for such discs. The
available options are:
Off – The screen saver will not be activated. Use this option if your TV
does not have a burn-in issue.
Energy Saver – Video output will be turned off after 3 minutes of
inactivity. Many projectors and LCD TVs will go into a standby or sleep
mode and turn off their projection lamp or LCD backlight lamp, thus
saving energy and prolonging the lamp life. When you press any button on
the remote control or the player’s front panel, the screen saver will be
cancelled and video output will be restored. If your TV is already in
standby or sleep mode, you may need to wake up the TV by pressing a
button on its remote or control panel.
Auto – 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.
Audio Format Setup
Off (default) – Video encoded in 24Hz frame rate will be converted to
50Hz (PAL) or 60Hz (NTSC)

To configure video options that are unique to the HDMI output. This item
contains a sub-menu with the following settings:
Colour Space – To select the colour space for the HDMI output. The
available options are:
On
Auto (Recommended) – The player checks with the display device to
automatically determine what colour space to use. If the display device
supports YCbCr 4:4:4, then it will be used to avoid extra colour space
conversion.
RGB Video Level – The HDMI output uses RGB colour space and
normal signal range suitable for video displays. Video signal level below
reference black or above reference white in the original content is
preserved without clipping or alteration.
YCbCr 4:4:4 – The HDMI output uses YCbCr 4:4:4 colour space.
Menus
Settings
YCbCr 4:2:2 – The HDMI output uses YCbCr 4:2:2 colour space.
Generally this is the colour space that is closest to the colour space
encoded on the discs. (All discs are encoded in YCbCr 4:2:0 colour
space, and the video decoder decodes it into YCbCr 4:2:2.)

1. Secondary Audio
4. Coaxial/Optical Output
To set the output format for the coaxial/optical digital audio outputs. The
options are:
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:
LPCM – Forces down-mixed 2-channel digital audio output. Choose this
setting if your receiver/amplifier or DAC only supports stereo digital (PCM)
audio.
Bitstream – Passes audio as compressed bitstream format to the
receiver/amplifier. Choose this setting if your receiver/amplifier is capable
of decoding Dolby Digital and/or DTS etc.
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. LPCM Rate Limit
Note: If Secondary Audio Program is set On and a SAP (or menu sound)
is present as well as mixing these into the main audio the 650BD will
output that audio over both HDMI and SPDIF/Toslink as DTS 5.1 ONLY.
To set the maximum Linear PCM output frequency for the coaxial/optical
digital output. This menu item is intended to ensure that the audio output
is compatible with equipment that cannot support high sample rates. It
sets an upper limit to decide whether the player shall down-sample audio.
The player does not up-sample audio to higher sample rates. The options
are:
No external decoding of DTS Master, Dolby Digital etc. soundtracks will
be possible in this mode. All soundtracks will always be internally
decoded, mixed and then re-encoded as DTS 5.1 before output.
Once you have finished listening to a program with secondary audio
always remember to turn this feature back off.
48kHz – Supported by most equipment. Higher sample rate material will
be downsampled to 48kHz.
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.
96kHz – Allows a higher sampling rate and frequency response. It can
result in better audio quality. 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. It
can result in the best audio quality. Ensure that the receiver/amplifier
can support it.
2. HDMI Audio
To select digital audio output format from the HDMI output. The options
are:
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.
Bitstream – Digital audio output via HDMI will be in bitstream format.
This option is recommended when connecting the HDMI output to an A/V
receiver or processor that supports advanced audio decoding of Dolby
TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio etc.
Off – No digital audio output via HDMI.
Note: If you use HDMI to connect audio to an HDMI A/V receiver or audio
processor, it is important that you choose 720p or higher HDMI output
resolution when playing high resolution audio content (DVD-Audio,
SACD, Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio). According to the HDMI
specification, the bandwidth available for audio is proportional to the
total bandwidth used by video. At 480p/576p resolution, the HDMI
specification can only support 2 channels of audio with high sample rate
(up to 192kHz), or 8 channels of audio with standard sample rate (up to
48kHz). If you play high resolution audio content at the 480p/576p
resolution, you may get reduced audio resolution, incomplete audio
channels, or even no audio/video output at all. Choosing a higher output
resolution such as 720p or above allows enough bandwidth for all high
sample rate audio channels.
3. SACD Output
To select audio output format for SACD. The options are:
PCM – SACD Direct Stream Digital (DSD) data is decoded by the player
and converted into multi-channel, high resolution PCM data. The HDMI
output can be sent to an external AV receiver capable of receiving multi
channel PCM (HDMI 1.1 or higher inputs are required). The 650BD’s own
audio outputs are also active and playback of SACD material is possible
by the 650BD itself.
DSD – SACD DSD data is output over HDMI without any conversion. For
decoding by an external AV receiver capable of receiving DSD (HDMI 1.2a
or higher inputs are required and the receiver must actually include
support for DSD as it is not a mandatory requirement of the HDMI spec).

Down Mix Mode
Down mix is the process of converting multi-channel audio to a lesser
number of channels. For example, converting a 5.1ch source to stereo or
converting a 7.1ch source to 5.1ch. Down mixing allows the audio output
from the player to match the exact number of speakers available in your
home theatre system.
1. Size
The speaker size parameter sets bass filtering control for the speakers.
The bass crossover frequency is fixed at 80Hz. The options are:
Large – Bass frequencies are passed to the speakers.
Small – Bass frequencies are not passed to the speakers to reduce
possible distortion. If a subwoofer is available, bass frequencies are
redirected to a subwoofer.
The current down mix mode is displayed in the lower right corner of the
speaker placement illustration.
On (for subwoofer only) – Specify that a subwoofer is available.
To change the audio down mix setting, press the Enter button while the
cursor is over the "Down Mix" option. The following down mix modes are
available:
Off – Speaker for the corresponding position does not exist. Audio for the
missing speaker is redirected to other speakers or discarded if redirection
is not possible.
Note: The front, surround and surround back speakers are configured as
pairs. Changes to the size of one speaker will automatically change the
other speaker of the pair.
2. Distance
The speaker distance parameters sets delay control for the corresponding
audio channel. This delay is used to compensate for the audio
propagation time difference caused by the placement of speakers of
different distances from the listening position.
Speaker distance delay is only applied if the player is decoding multi-
channel audio. If you use bitstream audio output to your A/V receiver, the
bitstream audio is not adjusted for speaker distance delay.
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.
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.
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).

Speaker Settings
For each speaker in the home theatre system, you can set its size,
distance and trim level. To configure a speaker, move the cursor to
highlight the speaker and press the Enter button. The Speaker Settings
menu on the right side of the screen will be activated. In the Speaker
Settings menu, use the ꢀ/ꢁ buttons to select a parameter, and then
press the Enter button to change it. To exit the Speaker Settings menu
and return to the Speaker Configuration illustration, press the ꢂbutton
or select the "Exit" option. You can also move on to configure the next
speaker by selecting the "Next Speaker" option.
For example, in the above diagram, measure the distance (in feet) from the
primary listening position to the Front Left or Front Right Speaker. Your
Front Right and Left speakers must be the same distance from the
listener. Enter the distance of the Front Speakers (1. in the above picture)
into the "Speaker Configuration" menu.
Next, measure the distance (in feet) from the centre speaker (2) to the
listening position. Move the cursor to highlight the Centre speaker in the
Channel Delay setup page, and enter the distance (as close as possible)
in feet. Repeat for each speaker in the system (Centre, Surround Left,
Surround Right, Surround Back Left, Surround Back Right and Subwoofer)
as available.
Note: The distance between the surround speakers and the listener must
be shorter than or equal to that between the front speakers and the
listener.
The following speaker parameters can be configured:

the playback is completely stopped or when there is no disc loaded.
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:
The firmware is the system software that controls the features and
functions of the player. Since the Blu-ray disc specifications are new and
evolving, it is possible that a Blu-ray disc manufactured after the player
was manufactured uses certain new features of the Blu-ray disc
specifications. To ensure the best possible viewing experience, the player
may need a firmware update from time to time.
Auto – Play at the dynamic range specified by the disc. This option applies
to Blu-ray Discs only. For other disc types no dynamic range compression
is applied.
On – Turn on dynamic range compression.
Off – Turn off dynamic range compression.
There are three ways to upgrade the player’s firmware. The options are:
Via Disc – From time to time, you may be able to download a disc image
from the Cambridge Audio’s website www.cambridge-audio.com/care
and burn an upgrade disc.
Device Setup
Via USB – You may also be able to download the firmware files from
Cambridge Audio’s web site to a USB drive and then use the USB drive to
upgrade the player. For the above two cases closely follow any instructions
on our website.

4. HDMI CEC
CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) is an optional HDMI feature that can
enable convenient remote control and automatic setup of consumer
electronics over the HDMI connection. The remote control function allows
you to use a single remote handset to operate multiple devices connected
via HDMI. For example, you may use the TV remote to control playback of
the Blu-ray disc player. The automatic setup function can automatically
turn on the TV and change to the correct input when you start playing a
disc in the Blu-ray Disc player. It can also turn off the player automatically
when you turn off the TV. The implementation and compatibility of this
feature varies by device manufacturer. Each may only implement part of
the features or add their own proprietary functions. The manufacturer-
specific implementation of the HDMI CEC function is often given a
proprietary name of "…Link" or "…Sync". The 650BD provides three modes
