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).
If your TV set supports only analogue video the preferred connection is (in
declining order of quality) Component and then Composite.
Set the Primary Output option in the setup menu to ‘Analog’,
see later section.

1080i over the component connections only.

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.
Component - Connect with 75 ohm Component video cables (3RCA-
3RCA).
Composite - Connect with single 75 ohm video phono cable (RCA-

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.
The 651/751BD supports two HDMI outputs, both are 3D TV compatible.
For normal use with a single TV or TV and AV Receiver use HDMI output
1 (Primary Output) as this benefits from the Marvell QDEO Video
processor, as shown below.
Set the Primary Output option in the setup menu to ‘HDMI 1’,
see later section.

: 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.
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.
