Analogue video connections

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 O utput option in the s etup menu to ‘An alog’, see later section.

Note: The 651/751BD will output BD content (including 1080p) as up to 1080i over the component connections only.

HDMI connections

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 s etup menu to ‘HDMI 1’, see later section.

Note: 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.
