Lip sync

The 650R can if required apply a small delay to the audio playback to resynchronise it to any video playback which appears to be behind the audio in time.

This can sometimes happen if the video is slightly delayed by a player or TV performing a lot of video processing.

Pressing the Lip Sync button on the remote will bring up the current Lip Sync value on the 650Rs main display and allow adjustments in 10mS (10 thousandths of a second) increments.

Setting the Lip sync value to 0 causes Lip Sync delay to be turned off.

Note: The Lip sync value is stored and recalled separately for each source.

Input naming

If desired it is possible to customise the names shown on the front panel display for each source. Enter the OSD and select the ‘Input Name Assign’ menu. Use the Left and Right arrows to select the source you wish to edit (CD, BD/DVD etc) then press Enter:

Custom installation (C.I.) use

 

Control

The 650R features Control Bus inputs and outputs that

 

Bus

 

allow un-modulated remote control commands (positive

 

 

 

 

logic, TTL level) to be received electrically by the unit. These

In

In

control commands are typically generated

by custom

installation (multi-room) systems or remote IR receiver

 

 

 

 

systems. The Control Bus sockets are colour-coded orange.

Emitter

Out

An IR Emitter Input is also provided that allows modulated

 

IR remote control commands to be received electrically by

 

 

the unit. Commands on this input operate the unit only and are

RS232C

not looped out demodulated on the Control Bus Output. An

 

RS232 port is also featured which allows the 650R to be

 

controlled by C.I. systems.

 

In addition the unit features 'direct' IR/Control codes as well as toggle codes for some of their features to simplify programming custom installation systems. Special direct On/Off and Mute commands can be accessed on the supplied remote control for teaching into C.I. systems as follows:

1.Press and hold the Standby/On button on the remote control. The remote first generates it's standby (toggle) command. Keep the button held down, after 12 seconds an AV receiver “On” command will be generated. If the button is kept held down for a further 12 seconds, an AV receiver “Off” command is generated.

Repeat this procedure with the Mute, Sub On/Off, Stereo Mono and Tuner AM/FM buttons to send On/Off commands. The Tuner AM/FM button also provides unique FM and AM commands to allow switching to a specific band.

A full code table and RS232 protocol for this product is available on the Cambridge Audio website at www.cambridge-audio.com.

Reset/Back-up memory

The 650R has a function that preserves the preset memory and other settings. In the event of a power failure, or if the power cord of the unit is disconnected from the mains outlet, the back-up memory will preserve the preset memory for approximately one week. If the power supply is interrupted for 7 days or longer, the memory settings will be erased.

If it is desired to reset all settings to their factory defaults (or in the unlikely event that the unit locks up due to an electrical discharge etc), with the unit on and out of Standby mode press and hold the DVD and Analogue Stereo Direct buttons on the front panel for three seconds.

“RESET” will appear briefly on the front panel display before returning to Standby mode.
