Cambridge Audio AZUR 650R - Manual (Page 17)

Also some Blu-ray players feature settings to allow down conversion of Dolby
Digital Plus etc. to backwards compatible Dolby Digital 5.1 for older AV
receivers which do not support these formats.
Ensure any such settings are disabled to allow our 650R access to all the
latest formats.
Each of the three HDMI inputs can be freely assigned to the DVD, Recorder
1, Video 1 or Video 2 inputs in the OSD. Select the ‘HDMI Setup/Assign’
menu:
The default setup is as below.
Highlight each HDMI input in turn and assign it to one of the 4 possible
options (with the Left and Right arrows).
The 650R has 3 HDMI (High Definition Multi-Media Interface) inputs and one
HDMI output. HDMI is a fully digital audio/video system that passes the
picture and audio to the screen in digital format for best possible picture
quality. DVI (Digital Video Interface) is a subset of HDMI that uses different
connectors and only passes digital video to the TV/Monitor (no audio). The
650R is fully compatible with DVI in that simple passive DVI-HDMI adaptors
are available which allow the conversion of the DVI connector to an HDMI
format connector (and back again if required) for routing via the 650R. The
650R can switch both types of signal.
HDMI/DVI (henceforth referred to as HDMI) outputs on Blu-ray, DVD players
and Set-top boxes also often support higher resolution formats including
progressive scan types. Consult both your HDMI source and TV manuals for
details, it is often possible to select from various options, you will want to
select the highest quality output that both your source and TV are compatible
with.
From Blu-ray players, HDMI can also carry the latest Dolby Digital Plus and
True-HD formats as well as DTS-HD High Resolution and Master Audio.
Ensure that the HDMI output of your player has been set to ‘Bitstream’ or
‘Raw’ to pass the formats to the 650R for decoding.

The next step is to select each source input in turn on the 650R and tell the
unit:
• The type of audio connection you want to use for that source (Analogue,
Digital or HDMI input)*.
• The type of video connection you want to use for that source (Composite,
S-Video, Component or HDMI)*.
• The processing mode for that source.
The 650R remembers these settings individually for every source input and
automatically recalls them as and when you change source input.
* Remember if you wish to use HDMI for any sources you must have assigned
an HDMI input to them as per previous section.
Audio connection type
Select the ‘Audio In/Out Setup’ menu. Highlight each source in turn and
select either analogue or digital input types (use the Left and Right arrows):
Analogue inputs will require a stereo phono/RCA to phono/RCA cable
connection to the 650R. Digital inputs will require either a 75ohm digital type
phono/RCA to phono/RCA co-axial cable (SPDIF) or an optical fibre cable
(TOSLINK). The 650R will automatically use whichever is connected. Do not
make connections to both the Optical and Co-axial inputs for a source.
Note: The Preamp output item at the bottom of this menu selects between
Normal mode (the default), Pre Out Mode (when external power amps are
used) and Ext 2 Ch Mode (where external power amps for front left and right
only are used). These options are covered later. Make sure this setting shows
Normal.
Once you have set the audio types exit the OSD to save.
This setting can also be changed at any time without using the OSD by
pressing the Audio Input Type button on the front panel or remote, this will
then cycle between analogue or digital input types for the currently selected
source, as usual they will then be remembered the next time you return to
that source.

When the auto setup of the 650R is completed successfully, the 650R will
return to the Speaker Setup Menu.
The Speaker Distance and Level Calibration settings for each speaker will
have been updated.
It is of course now possible to go into the Speaker Delay and Level Calibration
menus if you want to manually check/adjust the settings made by the
CAMCAS system, and it is always advisable to check them as no system can
be totally foolproof.
To exit the auto setup menu of the 650R continue to press the OSD button
on the remote control to exit all menus or until ‘OSD ‘is no longer displayed
on the front panel. You can now unplug the microphone and put it away for
future use.
Note: If the auto setup of the 650R is unsuccessful for some reason a 'Fail'
message will appear on the OSD. Included in this message will be details of
the speaker channel or channels which have not been successfully adjusted.
If this is the case, please again check that the speaker or speakers detailed
in the OSD as 'failed' are connected correctly & have not been wired out of
phase. Also check the microphone connection and any other external issues
that could have affected the tests such as noise in the room etc.
Note: Like all such systems CAMCAS has some limitations. Speakers that
exhibit very strong phase angles or deliberately wire some drive units out of
phase can of course appear to the system as an out of phase speaker when
correctly connected. If a speaker is reported as out of phase but is correctly
wired please consult the speakers manufacturer in case this is the case.
Similarly bi-polar speakers which radiate in more than one direction can
make it difficult to measure the distance and sometimes level accurately as
you might expect.
In all cases it is always advisable to manually check the settings CAMCAS has
made for a ‘reality check’ to ensure there are no obvious errors.
