CXUHD
Audio output connections
Do not plug in the mains power lead or turn the unit on until all connections have
been made.
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 CXUHD 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 coaxial cable designed for digital audio or a TOSlink bre 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 CXUHD setup.
AV receiver
OR
In
HDMI (High-Denition Multimedia 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 denition video content make this the best connection type
for picture quality.
The CXUHD supports two HDMI outputs, HDMI Out 1 is capable of 4K UHD
content into a compliant input of the 4K UHD TV and the HDMI Out 2 is audio only.
For normal use with a single TV or TV and AV Receiver use HDMI Out 1 (Primary
Output), as shown below.
1 Direct connection to a TV for HDMI 1
2 Connection to a TV via an AV Receiver
for HDMI 1.
Note: The Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby True HD, DTS HD High Resolution and DTS HD
Master Audio can only be passed by the CXUHD 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.

Connecting separately to a display and audio system
using dual HDMI
The Dual HDMI connection mode ensures that you can enjoy the highest possible
video quality and resolution, in addition to high bit rate audio content. Use an HDMI
cable to connect the HDMI OUT (Main) output to your TV, and another HDMI cable
to connect the HDMI OUT (Audio Only) output to your receiver.
This conguration is recommended when you have a 3D or UHD compatible
display, but your receiver is not 3D or UHD compatible. This conguration will allow
you to send the video signal (3D or UHD in this case) directly to the TV and send
the audio signal to the receiver.

Setting up the player
Selecting the best output resolution
One of the major advantages of the CXUHD is its ability to play Ultra High-Denition
Blu-ray video and also up-convert high-denition video and standard denition video
to Ultra High-Denition. The player oers several standard, HD and UHD video
output resolutions. For best results, it is important to select an output resolution that
best matches your TV or display.
The rule of thumb when selecting an output resolution is to match the native
resolution of your TV or display as closely as possible. The native resolution is the
resolution of the actual display component in the TV, such as the OLED panel,
Plasma panel, LCD panel, or DLP™ chip. The TV may accept input signals with
lower or higher resolutions than its native resolution. In such cases, the electronics
in the TV will upscale or downscale the video to t its display component.
Unfortunately, many TVs on the market only do an average job of scaling the video
and if you set the CXUHD to output a resolution that matches or is very close to
the native resolution of the TV, you are more likely to get a great picture. Most TVs
or projectors can communicate their native resolution to the player via the HDMI
connection, so setting the Output Resolution to Auto is generally the best choice
for most customers. However in rare cases the TV or projector may not correctly
present its native resolution, or the installer may decide a certain resolution works
better. The CXUHD can be set to a xed Custom Resolution if so desired.
For most new displays on the market, the best output resolution will be either UHD
or 1080p. A few early model “1080p” displays did not accept a 1080p signal. For
these displays, the best output resolution is 1080i. For small screen digital TVs this
will likely be 720p. For even earlier CRT tube or rear projection TVs this will likely
be 1080i. For EDTV displays (very rare if they have HDMI or DVI) this will be 480p
(NTSC) or 576p
(PAL). 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 result visually.
The CXUHD supports a special Source Direct mode through its HDMI outputs.
This resolution is recommended for use with external video processors or high-end
TVs. In Source Direct mode, the player works as a “player”. 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 varies by content:
Content Source Direct Output Resolution
NTSC DVD 480i
PAL DVD 576i
Most Blu-ray movies (lm-source) Ultra HD (4K) 23.976Hz or Ultra HD (4K)
24Hz 1080p 23.976Hz or 1080p 24Hz
Most Blu-ray TV shows or Concerts 1080i
(video-source)
SACD and DVD-Audio 1080p
The CXUHD allows the installer to choose a Custom Resolution in the Setup Menu.
Customer can switch between the Auto output resolution and the pre-selected
Custom Resolution by pressing the Resolution button on the remote control.

player to save the current playing position for that disc.
The position is memorised even after turning o the unit or changing the disc.
When the next time the same disc is played back, the player will recognize the
saved playing position. Playback will automatically resume from this saved position.
However if you wish to cancel the automatic resume and start playback from the
beginning, you may press the button when prompted.
The player can remember playback position for up to ve discs. When the sixth disc
is memorised, the oldest one is replaced.
Note: Some Blu-ray discs do not support resuming and will always play from the
beginning.

Notes:
• Audio Return Channel (ARC) is a feature introduced in HDMI v1.4, which allows
you to send digital audio signals from the television back to the player or receiver.
Instead of listening through TV speakers, ARC allows the sound to be processed
and produced by the home theater audio system.
• An HDMI 1.4 cable is required and you need to make sure the HDMI input port
on the TV is ARC capable. Usually, ARC has to be enabled in the TV’s settings.
• Volume control does not apply to the digital audio/video outputs (HDMI, Coaxial
and Optical). The remote can alternatively be made to control the volume (plus
source change, mute, on/o and zone 2 where available) of most CX range AV
Receivers and ampliers. See the previous section on the remote control for full
details.
Playback by chapter or track number
During the playback of a disc, you can use the numerical buttons on the remote
control to directly jump to a specied chapter or track number. For example:
1. To select the seventh track, press the number 7 button on the remote.
2. To select the 16th track, press the number 1 button followed by the number 6
button in quick succession.
Note: Certain DVD-Audio and Blu-ray Discs may not allow for direct chapter
selection.
Playback from a specic location on DVD and Blu-ray
discs
During the playback of a DVD or Blu-ray Disc, you may specify a location to start
playback by entering the title, chapter or time directly. Press the GoTo button to
bring up the on-screen display.
At the top of the video screen, an on-screen display status banner will appear with
the following components (from left to right): Playing Status, Title (for instance 1/2
meaning 1st of 2 titles currently playing), Chapter (for instance 3/12 meaning the
3rd of 12 chapters is currently playing), the Time Counter, a Progress Indicator bar,
and the Total Time.
After pressing the Go To button for the rst time, the cursor will be positioned at the
Time Counter. This is the Time Search mode.
Each subsequent press of the Go To button will switch the search mode in the
following sequence: Chapter Search, Title Search and back to Time Search. The
back and forward arrows can also be used to switch between the dierent modes.
1. Time search: Searches for a specic time within the currently playing title. Use
the Number or Arrow buttons to enter the hours, minutes and seconds for your
specic search and press the Enter button to go there.
2. Chapter search: Allows you to search for a particular chapter. Use the Number
or Arrow buttons to enter or select the chapter number and press the Enter
button to go there.
3. Title search: Allows you to search for a particular title. Use the Number or Arrow
buttons to enter or select the title number and press the Enter button to go there.
Notes:
• Some discs may prohibit the search operation. You will not be able to select
a search location, or you may get an "invalid operation" icon after specifying a
search location.
• Some Blu-ray Discs feature their own search.
Picture-in-Picture and secondary audio
Certain Blu-ray discs contain secondary video (Picture-in-Picture/PIP) and
secondary audio. This feature is often called BONUSVIEW. When such a disc is
played, a Picture-in-Picture mark (PIP Mark) and a Secondary Audio Program Mark
(SAP Mark) may be displayed on the screen to alert you to the availability of the
secondary audio/video content.
The disc menu usually features interactive controls to turn on/o the Picture-in-
Picture video and Secondary Audio Program. Please use those controls to select
the desired secondary audio/video content.
Both PIP and SAP functions can be access via the Option button on the remote.
Please use this button to turn the function on/o or select from multiple secondary
audio tracks. Secondary Audio Programs are generally only available when Picture-
in-Picture is shown.
Note:
• This function is available only when the discs are recorded with secondary video
and audio programs.
• The PIP and SAP Marks on the screen (which alert the user to the presence of
these functions on the disc) can be turned o using the Setup menu of the player.
Some Blu-ray disc titles are released with the BD-Live feature. BD-Live oers extra
downloadable contents and additional online interactive programs. The available
BD-Live content varies by disc and studio, and may include additional subtitles,
commentaries, preview trailers, games, and online chat. The player needs to be
connected to the Internet in order to play BD-Live contents.
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.
Your Internet connection speed, the overall Internet trac situation and the capacity
of the BD-Live content servers can all aect 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 dierent time.
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 identiable 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.
You can also choose to restrict BD-Live access using the player's Setup menu.

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.
Note: Availability of static pictures depends on the DVD-Audio disc.
Pure audio mode
You can enjoy higher quality audio by turning o the video processing and front
panel display. 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 o video and enter
Pure Audio mode. Video output will be turned o.
2. Press the Pure Audio button again to resume video and cancel Pure Audio mode.
Note:
• Pure Audio mode is automatically cancelled when the unit is switched o or when
playback is stopped.
• Since HDMI carries audio together with video, the HDMI output cannot be
completely turned o. A black screen (inactive video but sync is still present) is
transmitted instead to minimize any potential interference.
Shue and random modes
When playing a CD or SACD, press the Blue button on the remote control to
activate the Shue and Random modes. Each press of the Blue button switches
the playback mode in the following sequence: Shue, Random and Normal.
Note: Selecting the Shue or Random mode cancels any Repeat mode you may
be using. Similarly, selecting a Repeat mode cancels any Shue or Random mode.
Media playback from USB devices
As well as normal CD's, SACD's, DVD's and BD's the CXUHD can play some
music, movies and photo les either from optical data discs (such as CD-R, DVD-R
etc.) or external memory such as USB ash-drives/thumb-drives or hard-drives.
Connecting a USB drive
The CXUHD is equipped with two USB 3.0 ports. You may use any USB port to
plug in a USB drive loaded with digital music, movies and photo les.
The USB ports are rated to provide a maximum of 5V, 1A power to the attached
device. This is usually sucient to bus power (i.e. self power) USB ash drives and
ash memory card readers, but may not be sucient for all USB hard disks.
Note:
• This unit supports Mass Storage Class Bulk Player 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.
• Supported USB drives can be formatted with the FAT (File Allocation Table),
FAT32, exFAT or NTFS (New Technology File System) le systems.
• In some cases, an incompatible device may cause the player to stop responding.
If this occurs simply turn o the power, remove the device, and turn the player
back on.
• The player accesses the USB drive in read-only mode. In order to minimize the
risk of data corruption, it is recommended that you only unplug the USB device
when playback has completely stopped.
Network media playback
The CXUHD can remotely Playback music, photos, and video les stored on media
devices that are connected to the same home net work. Set the My Network
selection to On in the Setup menu. Press the button on the remote to bring up
the Home menu, select the Network icon and press Enter button to show the list
of available servers and shared folders. In some cases, you might need to disable
your rewall to allow the CXUHD to see your devices.
The CXUHD can perform Network Playback in one of the following three ways:
As a digital media player (DMP): the CXUHD can actively search, access and pull
content from media servers on you network.
As a digital media renderer (DMR): the CXUHD plays content received ('pushed')
from a digital media controller (DMC). A DMC-capable UPNP/DNLA media server
is required. Plus the control APP you wish to use which must be connected to the
same network as the server and CXUHD. Refer to the server and APPs respective
user instructions for correct conguration and operation.
Accessing a SMB/CIFS client: the player can directly access les shared by
computers through SMB/CIFS clients over the network, as if accessing a local USB
hard drive. Most computers especially those installed with Windows, already have
an SMB client embedded. Please refer to your respective OS instructions to set up
the SMB/CIFS shared le/folder.
Note:
• A NAS is a network attached storage device that provides le-based data storage
services to other devices on the network. Commercial products are available that
often incorporate a UPnP/DNLA Server.
• SMB (Server Message Block) or CIFS (Common Internet File System) is mostly
known as the folder sharing method of Microsoft Windows. It does not require an
extra media server or perform any media format transcoding.
• Compatibility with local network sharing hardware/software is on a best eort
basis with no guarantee, due to variations in NAS devices, media servers and
their congurations
Using the home menu
The CXUHD presents a Home Menu to assist you in navigating and playing media
les from an inserted optical disc, USB ash drive, external hard drive, home
network sharing. Basically, the Home Menu is the starting point for accessing
media les.
You can bring up the Home Menu with the HOME button on the remote control.
Currently there are seven selections:
Disc enables the player to start playback of an inserted optical disc.
Music, Movies and Photos allow you to access corresponding type of media les
from a connected USB drive and inserted data disc.
Network enables the player to stream audio, video and photos from media servers
on the home network. Compatible hardware and software may be required.
Setup brings the player’s Setup Menu, just like pressing the SETUP button on the
remote.
Favorites provides you with a shortcut to access folders or les you love or often
access.

The "Video Output Setup" section of the Setup Menu system allows you to
congure various video output options.
1. Picture adjustment
To ne tune picture control parameters in order to achieve the optimal picture quality
and visual result. To use Picture adjustment, press the Setup menu button on the
remote control to enter the player's Setup Menu, and then choose "Video Setup >
Picture adjustment", then select the video output to be adjusted.
Since the player is equipped with only the HDMI OUT (Main) output port for video
output, the Picture Adjustment menu will come up directly for HDMI output.
Picture Adjustment
To change a picture adjustment parameter, use the Navigation buttons to
highlight the parameter and to change its value.
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 (except the Picture Mode, which you will directly see the mode name
switches between Mode 1, 2 and 3, and all the other parameters are adjusted
automatically). The reduced menu will be positioned near the bottom of the screen.
Adjust the parameters using the Navigation 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.
The following picture adjustment controls are available, for HDMI 1 and HDMI 2:
Picture Mode – The CXUHD allows you to save up to three (3) customized video
modes. 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.
Brightness – To adjust the brightness (black level) of the video output.
Contrast – To adjust the contrast (white level) of the video output.
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 rene the
picture to the optimal result.
Hue – Adjusts the hue (tint) of the video output.
Saturation – Adjusts the saturation (colour intensity level) of the video output.
21
CXUHD
Sharpness – Allows you to set the sharpness level for video output. Sharpness is
a video processing function that can control the image sharpness but at the same
time may cause unwanted artifacts. For HDMI 2 output, the sharpness level can
be set between 0 and +16, with the default level being 0. The higher the level, the
sharper the video details are. However, too high a sharpness level may cause white
lines or halo-like eects to appear around objects.
Noise Reduction – Allows you to select whether the player will apply video noise
reduction processing. The default is level 0, which turns o noise reduction. When
this level is increased, the player adjusts the picture quality by applying video noise
reduction. The higher the level, the more aggressively noise reduction functions
are applied.
2. HDR setting
Allows you to choose the output mode for High-Dynamic Range content.
Auto (default) – Outputs HDR if supported by both the content and the display.
The player automatically checks for HDR content and whether the TV or projector is
HDR compatible, and if both criteria are met, the player outputs HDR video from its
HDMI (Main) output terminal. Otherwise, only SDR video is output.
Forced – If the video content supports HDR, the player will always output video
with HDR enabled regardless of whether or not the TV or projector indicates that
HDR is supported. This may result in image abnormalities if the connected display
does not support HDR.
O – Always outputs video without HDR. HDR content will be converted to SDR.
Strip Metadata – HDR video will be converted to SDR but preserve the BT2020
colour gamut. The player will strip o the HDR metadata from the HDR video.
3. Output resolution
Allows you to choose the output resolution that best matches your television’s
native resolution.
Auto (default) – Automatically set the optimal output resolution.
Custom – Set the output resolution according to the desired Custom Resolution
setting.
Source Direct – Outputs at the original resolution of the source material.
Notes:
• DO NOT set the Output Resolution to Custom unless you know your TV’s native
resolution and the selected Custom Resolution is supported by your TV.
• There will be no video output or an “unsupported video signal” message may
appear on screen if an unsupported output resolution is selected. To get the
video back, you need to press the Resolution button on remote until “AUTO”
is displayed on the front panel of the CXUHD. Then press the Enter button on
the remote or wait for a few seconds to conrm the selection. The player will
automatically set its output resolution to a format that is supported by the TV.
4. Custom resolution
Allows you to select a custom output resolution. The Output Resolution will be
automatically changed to Custom if a new custom resolution is selected here. The
following resolutions are available for the Custom Resolution setting:
UHD Auto – Ultra HD (4K) output resolution with automatic frame rate. The frame
rate will be 24Hz if the source content is natively 24Hz. 50/60Hz source content
will be output as 4K 50/60Hz if the display device supports it, or as 4K 25/30Hz in
the user specied color space.
UHD 24Hz – Ultra HD (4K) output resolution with a 24Hz frame rate whenever
possible. If the source content is not suitable for 4K 24Hz output, the output
resolution will be 1080p 50/60Hz.
UHD 50Hz – Ultra HD (4K) output resolution with a 50Hz frame rate.
UHD 60Hz – Ultra HD (4K) output resolution with a 60Hz frame rate.
1080p Auto – 1080p output resolution with automatic frame rate. The frame rate
will be 24Hz if the source content is natively 24Hz and the display device supports
1080p 24Hz. 50/60Hz source content will be output as 1080p 50/60Hz.
1080p 24Hz – 1080p output resolution with 24Hz frame rate preferred. The frame
rate will be 24Hz if the source content is natively 24Hz. 50/60Hz source content will
still be output as 1080p 50/60Hz.
1080p 50Hz, 1080p 60Hz, 1080i 50Hz, 1080i 60Hz, 720p 50Hz, 720p 60Hz,
576p, 576i, 480p, 480i – Video will be up-scaled or down-scaled to these specic
output resolutions.
Notes:
• DO NOT change the Custom Resolution unless you know your TV’s native
resolution.
• There will be no video output or an “unsupported video signal” message may
appear on screen if an unsupported custom resolution is selected. To get the
video back, you need to press the RESOLUTION button on remote until “AUTO”
is displayed on the front panel of the CXUHD. Then press the Enter button on
the remote or wait for a few seconds to conrm the selection. The player will
automatically set its output resolution to a format that is supported by the TV.
5. Color space
Allows you to select the color space for the HDMI video output.
Auto (default) – The player checks with the display device to automatically
determine what color space to use. If the display device supports YCbCr 4:4:4,
then it will be used to avoid extra color space conversion.
RGB Video Level – The HDMI output uses RGB color space and normal signal
range suitable for video displays.
RGB PC Level – The HDMI output uses RGB color space and expands the
signal range. The expanded signal range is suitable for personal computer (PC)
displays. Some TVs are designed to be used as a PC monitor, and 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.
YCbCr 4:4:4 – The HDMI output uses YCbCr 4:4:4 color space.
YCbCr 4:2:2 – The HDMI output uses YCbCr 4:2:2 color space. Generally this is
the color space that is close to the color space encoded on the discs. (All discs
are encoded in YCbCr 4:2:0 color space, and the video decoder decodes it into
YCbCr 4:2:2.)
YCbCr 4:2:0 – The HDMI output uses YCbCr 4:2:0 color space. (All Blu-ray discs
are encoded in YCbCr 4:2:0 color space.)
6. Color depth
Allows you to select the color depth mode for the HDMI video output. For displays
that support increased color depth, you should see smoother color transitions and
better gradients.
Auto (default) – The player automatically determines the color depth mode based
on the capabilities of the display device.
12-bit – Always uses the 12-bit color depth mode.
10-bit – Always uses the 10-bit color depth mode.
8-bit – Always uses the 8-bit color depth mode.
Notes:
• For watching a UHD movie with HDR-10 color, you need to select Auto or 10-bit
color depth to enable HDR output.
• The 12-bit and 10- bit color depth mode may not be supported by all TVs. Using
the 12-bit or 10-bit color depth mode when connected to a TV that does not
support it may result in no video.
7. TV aspect ratio
Sets the aspect ratio of the player’s output image.
16:9 Wide – 16:9 content will be displayed in its native aspect ratio, and 4:3
contents will be stretched horizontally.
16:9 Wide / Auto (default) – 16:9 content will be displayed in its native aspect
ratio, and 4:3 content will be displayed with black borders on both sides in order to
maintain the original 4:3 aspect ratio.

The "Audio Output Setup" section of the Setup Menu system allows you to
congure preferences for audio output formats.
1. Secondary audio
Sets 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 eect when you make menu choices. This setup menu
item allows you to decide whether to mix the secondary audio program and menu
sound into the primary audio.
On – The secondary audio program and menu 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.
O (default) – The secondary audio program and menu 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.
2. HDMI audio format
Selects the digital audio output format from the HDMI output.
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.
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.
O – 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 specication, the bandwidth available for
audio is proportional to the total bandwidth used by video. At 480p/576p resolution,
the HDMI specication 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. Coaxial/Optical output
Sets 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.
Note: When using the Stereo or 7.1 Analog Audio outputs the LPCM rate 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.
48k LPCM – Supported by most equipment. Higher sample rate material will be
downsampled to 48kHz.
96k LPCM – 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/amplier can support it. Higher sample rate material will be downsampled
to 96kHz.
8. 3D setting
Adjusts the playback settings for better 3D visual quality.
3D Output – Allows you to choose the video output mode for 3D content.
Auto (default) – Outputs 3D if supported both by both the disc content and the
display. The player automatically checks for the existence of 3D content on the
disc and the 3D compatibility of the TV or projector. If both criteria are met, the
player sends 3D video from its HDMI output terminals; otherwise, only 2D video
is sent out. You may need to wear 3D glasses that come with your TV in order
to view 3D movies.
O– Always output 2D video format, even when 3D video exists on the disc. This
guarantees the video quality if your TV is not 3D compatible, or if some necessary
components (such as the 3D glasses) are missing.
Forced – Always output 3D video format for 3D Blu-ray Discs. You may experience
a black screen (no video output) if your TV is not 3D compatible.
2D->3D Depth – Adjusts the 3D depth perception when performing 2D-to-3D
conversion (also called “simulated 3D”). The default value is 8.
3D TV Size – Allows you to enter the diagonal screen size of the 3D HDTV. Use the
number buttons on the remote to enter the actual diagonal size of the TV screen,
and then press the ENTER button to conrm. The default value is 46 inches. This
value does not directly aect video quality, but some 3D movies may use this value
to decide how to place certain graphics.
9. DVD 24p conversion
Enables 24Hz frame rate conversion for DVD. This option is only available when
1080p24 Output is enabled (set to On). Many DVDs that originate from theatrical
movies are encoded with a technique called "3:2 telecine" in order to convert the 24
frames per second lm to 60Hz video signal. The player can convert the 60Hz video
signal back to 24 frames per second lm and output as 1080p/24Hz. Smoother
motion may be achieved by enabling this option, if both the TV and the DVD disc
meet the conversion conditions.
On – Converts DVD to 24Hz frame rate when possible. Remember that motion
errors may be observed if the DVD is not suitable for such conversion.
O (default) – Does not convert DVD to 24Hz frame rate.
10. De-interlacing mode
Allows you to select the appropriate algorithm that the player should use to
convert interlaced video on a DVD or Blu-ray Disc to progressive output. A proper
de-interlacing mode will ensure the output video matches the original contents and
is free of de-interlacing artifacts. The available options are:
Auto (default) – Automatically selects the de-interlacing mode depending on
the video type. This is the recommended setting as it sets the player to optimally
process a variety of signal types.
Film – De-interlacing the video originally made in lm mode. The mode may improve
lm mode detection in some cases.
Video – De-interlacing the video originally shot with a video camera. Use this setting
only if you are certain the disc is made from footage originally not shot with a lm
camera.
23
CXUHD
192kHz LPCM – 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/amplier can support it.
Bitstream (default) – Passes audio as compressed bitstream format to the
receiver/amplier. Choose this setting if your receiver/amplier is capable of
decoding Dolby Digital and/or DTS etc.
Note: Due to copyright restrictions and bandwidth limitations, SACD audio cannot
be sent through the coaxial/optical audio output, and the high resolution audio on
DVD-Audio and Blu-ray discs will be sent out at reduced resolution.
4. DVD-Audio mode
Select which portion of a DVD-Audio disc to play.
DVD-Audio (default) – Play the DVD-Audio portion of the disc with high-resolution
audio.
DVD-Video – Play the DVD-Video portion of the disc with Dolby Digital or DTS
audio.
5. SACD priority
Select which audio layer to play for SACD (Super Audio CD).
Multi-Channel (default) – Play the high resolution multi-channel surround audio
layer.
Stereo – Play the high resolution 2-channel stereo audio layer.
CD Mode – Play the CD layer of a hybrid SACD disc.
6. SACD output
Selects the audio output format for SACD.
Auto – The player checks with the device connected to the HDMI output to
automatically determine which audio format (DSD or PCM) to use for SACD
playback.
PCM (default) – 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 CXUHD's own audio outputs are also active
and playback of SACD material is possible by the CXUHD itself.
DSD – SACD DSD data is sent out via 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).
7. A/V sync
Allows you to add a slight delay to the audio so it is synchronized to the video. You
may use the LEFT/RIGHT ARROW buttons on the remote to decrease/increase
the audio delay. The delay can be adjusted in 10ms steps and within the range
of -100ms to +200ms. The delayed time will be applied to all output terminals
including HDMI, Coaxial, Optical outputs.
Notes:
• The actual audio delay eect might be dierent for each of the output terminals
due to the dierent audio process algorithms and signal paths used for each
output. Please adjust this setting based on the actual output terminal in use.
• The negative adjustment values are for cancelling out the audio delay that the
player automatically applies. Depending on the video source and the time it takes
to process the video, the main decoder chip automatically applies an audio delay
in order to optimize audio video synchronization. The negative manual settings
reduce the automatic audio delay, while the positive manual settings apply
additional delay. Any negative value setting beyond the player's automatic delay
will be treated as completely cancelling the automatic delay. For example, if the
A/V Sync value is manually set to -100ms and for the current video source
the player applies a 70ms automatic audio delay, the nal result is that the 70ms
audio delay gets cancelled and the audio is not delayed at all. It is not possible to
put audio ahead of video using this setting.

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 o the player
automatically when you turn o 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-specic implementation of
the HDMI CEC function is often given a proprietary name of "…Link" or "…Sync".
The CXUHD provides three modes for the HDMI CEC function:
O (default) – HDMI CEC feature is turned o on HDMI output terminal. The player
will not respond to HDMI CEC commands from other devices, nor will it setup other
devices automatically.

password using the remote control. The player will then test the connection
and display the results.
Manual – Allows you to manually enter the information for a wireless network.
You need to use the remote control to input the SSID, select the Security Mode
and input the Password. The player will then test the connection and display
the results.
WPS – Starts the Wi-Fi Protected Setup. The CXUHD supports the WPS
standard to provide an easy and secure establishment of a wireless home
network. Congures the WPS using a PIN (Personal Identication Number).
The CXUHD will generate a PIN code and you will need to input it into the
software control panel of your wireless router or access point. Please follow
the on-screen instructions.
Note:
• SSID is short for Service Set Identier. It is an identier for each wireless router or
access point, and is also referred as a network name.
• WPS is short for Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS). It is the latest standard for easy
and secure wireless home network conguration. It is also named Wi-Fi Simple
Cong. To use WPS, a WPS compatible router or access point is required.
5. IP setting
To determine how the player obtains its IP address.
Auto (DHCP) - The player automatically obtains its IP address information using
DHCP (Dynamic Host Conguration Protocol). This is the default setting. In most
cases, automatic IP conguration is best and requires no user intervention.
Manual – Manually enter the numeric IP address information. For more information
on how to manually congure 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 Conguration"
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 trac 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.
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.
DNS 1 – The IP address of the rst (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.
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.
6. Proxy setting
Congures the proxy server settings. A proxy server works as an intermediary for
network communication between clients and other servers, which can provide
benets like security, anonymity, speedup or circumventing regional restrictions.
On – To access the Internet via a proxy server.
Proxy Host: To enter the proxy host name using the remote control.
Proxy Port: To enter the proxy host port number using the remote control.
O (default) – Do not use a proxy server.
7. Connection test
Tests 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.
8. BD-Live network access
To restrict BD-Live content access.
On – BD-Live access is permitted.
Limited – BD-Live access is permitted only for contents that have a valid content
owner certicate. Internet access is prohibited if the BD-Live contents do not have
a certicate. This option ensures that you are accessing only authentic content,
although it may block your access to smaller independent content providers.
O (default) – BD-Live access is prohibited.
9. My network
Sets the My Network (in-home media sharing) client option. My Network option
enables the player to receives streaming audio, video and photo from UPnP media
servers on the home network.
On (default) – Enable the My Network client. The available media servers are listed
in the "My Network" option of Home menu.
O – Disable the My Network client. No media servers will be shown in "My
Network" option, and a warning message will show after you enter "My Network"
option.
