Introduction
Thank you
for
purchasing this Cambridge Audio Azur
75280
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 752BD features almost universal disc/file compatibility and can
play back
CD,
HDCD
, DVD-Video, DVD-Audio, Super Audio
CD
and
Blu-ray discs including those with 3D content plus most audio and
video file formats from both
USB
connected hard-drives and network
connected
NAS
drivers or servers.
Five WM87
40
2-channel
DAC
s from Wolfson Microelec
tro
nics are
featured giving both a permanent
7.1
and a separate Stereo analog
output.
All
analog outputs are also up-sampled
via
an Analog Devices
DSP
running our proprietary
ATF'M
upsampling and
jitter
suppression
algorithm from Anagram Technologies
to
24
bi
ts
and 192kHz.
This careful audio design ensures
that
the
752BD can reproduce the
dynamics and scale required for modern movie soundtracks whilst also
being able
to
reproduce a genuinely musical performance with either
s
ter
eo or multi-channel music discs.
Twin
HDMI
outputs allow two screens or a screen and a projector
to
be
connected
at
thesame
tim
e.
Both arefully compatible with the
HDMI
1.4
standard for 3D
TV
and deep-colour support and both can receive Audio
Return Channels
(ARC)
from
TVs
that
supportthis feature.
ARC
allows
the
TV
to
become an audio source
to
the
BD
Player allowing
you to listen
to
music or video streaming services
that
your
TV
may
feature
in
the best possible quality when up-sampled and output
by
the
752BD player.
The primary HDMI
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 outp
ut
from any source. Up-scaling
to
4K
x 2K is possible for
th
e very latest
TVs
that
supportthis
re
solution.
S/ P
DIF
, Toslink and two HDMI inputs (one
of
which also supports
MHL) plus the two
ARC
inputs allow the 752BD to be your digital hub
connecting a wide range
of
audio and video sources all
of
which can
be
up-sampled and up-scaled
by
the 752BD
for
the best possible audio or
audio-visual experience.
An
Ethernet conne
ct
ion is provided for
BD
Liv
e,
Network playback from
UPnP
/
DNLA
servers and
NAS
drives and other interactive features via
the
intern
