CXUHD

192kHz LPCM

 – Allows the highest sampling rate and frequency response. If using 

an externally connected AV receiver or DAC via coaxial or optical, ensure that the 

receiver/amplifier can support it.

Bitstream

 

(default)

  –  Passes  audio  as  compressed  bitstream  format  to  the 

receiver/amplifier.  Choose  this  setting  if  your  receiver/amplifier  is  capable  of 

decoding Dolby Digital and/or DTS etc.

Note:

 Due to copyright restrictions and bandwidth limitations, SACD audio cannot 

be sent through the coaxial/optical audio output, and the high resolution audio on 

DVD-Audio and Blu-ray discs will be sent out at reduced resolution.

4. DVD-Audio mode

Select which portion of a DVD-Audio disc to play.

DVD-Audio (default) 

– Play the DVD-Audio portion of the disc with high-resolution 

audio.

DVD-Video 

–  Play  the  DVD-Video  portion  of  the  disc  with  Dolby  Digital  or  DTS 

audio.

5. SACD priority

Select which audio layer to play for SACD (Super Audio CD).

Multi-Channel (default) 

–  Play  the  high  resolution  multi-channel  surround  audio 

layer.

Stereo

 – Play the high resolution 2-channel stereo audio layer.

CD Mode 

– Play the CD layer of a hybrid SACD disc.

6. SACD output

Selects the audio output format for SACD. 

Auto

  –  The  player  checks  with  the  device  connected  to  the  HDMI  output  to 

automatically  determine  which  audio  format  (DSD  or  PCM)  to  use  for  SACD 

playback.

PCM (default) 

– SACD Direct Stream Digital (DSD) data is decoded by the player 

and converted into multi-channel, high resolution PCM data. The HDMI output can 

be sent to an external AV receiver capable of receiving multi channel PCM (HDMI 

1.1 or higher inputs are required). The CXUHD's own audio outputs are also active 

and playback of SACD material is possible by the CXUHD itself.

DSD

 – SACD DSD data is sent out via HDMI without any conversion. For decoding 

by an external AV receiver capable of receiving DSD (HDMI 1.2a or higher inputs 

are required and the receiver must actually include support for DSD as it is not a 

mandatory requirement of the HDMI spec).

7. A/V sync

Allows you to add a slight delay to the audio so it is synchronized to the video. You 

may  use  the  LEFT/RIGHT  ARROW  buttons  on  the  remote  to  decrease/increase 

the audio delay. The delay can be adjusted in 10ms steps and within the range 

of  -100ms  to  +200ms.  The  delayed  time  will  be  applied  to  all  output  terminals 

including HDMI, Coaxial, Optical outputs.

Notes:

•  The actual audio delay effect might be different for each of the output terminals 

due  to  the  different  audio  process  algorithms  and  signal  paths  used  for  each 

output. Please adjust this setting based on the actual output terminal in use.

•  The  negative  adjustment  values  are  for  cancelling  out  the  audio  delay  that  the 

player automatically applies. Depending on the video source and the time it takes 

to process the video, the main decoder chip automatically applies an audio delay 

in order to optimize audio video synchronization. The negative manual settings 

reduce  the  automatic  audio  delay,  while  the  positive  manual  settings  apply 

additional delay. Any negative value setting beyond the player's automatic delay 

will be treated as completely cancelling the automatic delay. For example, if the 

A/V Sync value is manually set to    -100ms and for the current video source 

the player applies a 70ms automatic audio delay, the final result is that the 70ms 

audio delay gets cancelled and the audio is not delayed at all. It is not possible to 

put audio ahead of video using this setting.

View current firmware version and system information

The  "Device  Setup"  section  of  the  Setup  Menu  system  allows  you  to  configure 

additional player options related to the hardware and control functions. The menu 

items in this section are:

1. Firmware information

Displays the current firmware version.

2. Firmware upgrade

Upgrades 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. The options to upgrade the player's firmware are:

Via USB

 – You may download the firmware files from Cambridge Audio's web site 

to a USB drive and then use the USB drive to upgrade the player. 

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

Sets whether the player should automatically check if new firmware versions are 

available via the Internet server and notify the user about new firmware. 

On (default)

 – 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 CXUHD provides three modes for the HDMI CEC function:

Off (default) 

– HDMI CEC feature is turned off on HDMI output terminal. The player 

will not respond to HDMI CEC commands from other devices, nor will it setup other 

devices automatically.

On

 – HDMI CEC is enabled on HDMI output. Use this mode if your other devices 

are compatible with the player.

Limited 

– HDMI CEC is enabled on HDMI output, but the CXUHD 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.

5. Standby mode

Allows you to choose the unit's standby mode between Energy Efficient and Quick 

Start Mode. 

Energy Efficient (default)

 – Player starts slower, but uses only 0.5W in standby.

Network Standby

 – This mode allows to wake the player in standby mode over 

the network. The player takes less time to start up but consumes more power in 

standby mode.
