Various HDMI 1.4 features are supported including 3D TV and deep-colour
pass-through from suitable sources.
An Audio Return channel is also featured that allows audio to be passed back
from a Smart TV to the 351R via the HDMI output.
The 351R is also capable of decoding encoded analogue or digital stereo
sources in Dolby Pro Logic® II or DTS Neo:6 for a convincing and effective 5.1

Conventional analogue stereo inputs allow the connection of audiophile CD
players and the like, and an Analogue Stereo Direct mode with no processing
ensures the very best possible stereo reproduction for these.
An RS232 port and IR Emitter In also make it easy to integrate the 351R into
a Custom Install situation.
All this proprietary engineering is housed within our low resonance,
acoustically damped chassis.
Remember your 351R can only be as good as the system it is connected
to. Please do not compromise on your source equipment, speaker package
or video and audio cabling. Naturally we particularly recommend our Blu-
ray players, digital and analogue iPod docks, Network and CD players from
the Cambridge Audio Azur range, which have been designed to the same

quality Cambridge Audio interconnects to ensure your system realises its full
potential.
Thanks for taking the time to read this manual, we do recommend you keep
it for future reference.
