ENGLISH
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.
