1. Firmware Information

To display the currently installed firmware version.

2. Firmware Upgrade

To upgrade the player’s firmware. This operation is only available when the playback is completely stopped or when there is no disc loaded. The firmware is the system software that controls the features and functions of the player. Since the Blu-ray disc specifications are new and evolving, it is possible that a Blu-ray disc manufactured after the player was manufactured use certain new features of the Blu-ray disc specifications. We may also introduce new features from time to time. There are three ways to upgrade the player’s firmware. The options are: Via Disc – From time to time, you may be able to download a disc image from the Cambridge Audio’s website www.cambridge-audio.com/careand burn an upgrade disc.

Via USB – You may also be able to download the firmware files from Cambridge Audio’s web site to a USB drive and then use the USB drive to upgrade the player. For the above two cases closely follow any instructions on our website.

Via Network – If the player has a working Internet connection, you may upgrade the player directly over the Internet. Please follow the instructions on your TV screen.

3. Firmware Notification

To set whether the player should automatically check if new firmware versions are available via the Internet server and notify the user about new firmware. The options are:

On – Check for new firmware version automatically and notify the user about new firmware. Requires working network connection.

Off – Do not check for new firmware version automatically.

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 off the player automatically when you turn off 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- specific implementation of the HDMI CEC function is often given a proprietary name of "…Link" or "…Sync". The 651/751BD provides three modes for the HDMI CEC function:

HDMI 1 & 2 – HDMI CEC is enabled. Use this mode if your other devices are compatible with the player.

HDMI 1 & 2 (Limited) – HDMI CEC is enabled but the 651/751BD will only respond to playback control commands. It will not respond or issue power on/off and input selection commands. Use this mode if you do not want the automatic setup function to turn on/off your devices.

Off – HDMI CEC feature is turned off. The player will not respond to HDMI CEC commands from other devices, nor will it setup other devices automatically.

5. Front Panel Display

To control the display intensity of the front panel Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) information window. This option allows you to dim it or turn it off. The available options are:

Standard - The VFD window is at full brightness.

Dim - The VFD window is at reduced brightness.

Off – The VFD window is turned off. In this mode the display resumes momentarily when there is any user operation.

6. Persistent Storage

Persistent storage is a data storage area that holds additional contents for BonusView and BD-Live features. The data will be kept even if you turn off the player. The following persistent storage management options are available:

Storage Device – To select which storage device should be used as the persistent storage. The 651/751BD is equipped with 1GB of internal flash memory. There are also two USB 2.0 ports on the player that can accept a USB drive to be used as the persistent storage. The choices are: Internal Flash – Use the internal flash memory for persistent storage. USB Drive – Use a USB drive for persistent storage. To meet the specification for BD-Live, a USB flash drive of 1GB or larger is required. A USB hard disk is not recommended.

Note: The new storage device choice becomes effective only after the player is restarted. Please make sure that you turn off the player and then turn it back on after changing the "Storage Device" option.
