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

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.

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.
