Cirrus Logic audio DACs and incredible attention to the design of audio circuits ensure this latest player sounds truly amazing whether playing movies or music. Indeed the 651BD not only supports Blu-ray discs - including those with 3D content - but also CD, HDCD, DVD-Video, DVD-Audio and SACD.
Twin screen connection With twin HDMI outputs, the 651BD can deliver 3D video to multiple displays (such as a your 3D TV and your projector) and both are fully compatible with the HDMI 1.4 standard for 3DTV and Deep Colour support. The primary HDMI output also features a high quality Marvell QDEO video scaler with motion adaptive noise reduction for quiet and natural video, free from noise and artefacts. As well as stunning performance with Blu-ray discs, the 651BD delivers unbeatable picture quality from existing DVDs, which can also be up-scaled to 1080p resolution.
Comprehensive format support The 651BD supports decoding of the very latest formats including Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio. And for the ultimate in user choice, these formats can be output as bitstreams over HDMI for an AV receiver to decode internally.
An audiophile extravaganza However it is the 651BD's musical performance that really sets it apart from its peers. The 651BD can reproduce the dynamics and scale required for the most elaborate movie soundtracks. The 651BD truly excels as an audio source supporting all high-resolution formats including DVD-A, SACD plus of course CD.
Designed for all the family With such a vast specification you might expect the 651BD to take some getting used to but you'll be delighted to hear that’s not the case. Genuinely simple to use with essential operations available on the ergonomic front panel and more comprehensive control via a clear on-screen menu, the 651BD is as easy to operate as any ordinary player. In use it's whisper quiet and lightning fast for delay-free access to your movies and music.
Aesthetics and premium build quality are further strengths and Cambridge Audio's trademark wrap-around casework houses the 651BD's proprietary engineering within a low resonance, acoustically damped chassis.
The 651BD is ready to connect to the internet via Ethernet and supports BD Profile 2.0 (BD-Live and BonusView) and other interactive features.
