WELCOME
Dear Fellow ADCOM Product Owner,
Welcome to the ADCOM family! For more than twenty years, ADCOM products have delivered
excellent performance and value for customers around the world. Our products are designed by
our experienced and demanding engineering team, built to the highest standards in our factory,
and sold and serviced through dealers, custom installers, and other retailers whose primary goal
is your complete satisfaction.
We know you are anxious to see and hear your new DVD player in action, but please take a few
minutes to read this owner’s manual before connecting the DVD player to your system. It is
particularly important that you connect your DVD player to your preamplifier while the amplifier and preamplifier are unplugged and your other equipment is turned off. This will protect
your equipment from potential short circuits that may occur during installation. In addition, it is
important that you allow for adequate ventilation around your DVD player and other equipment,
since excessive heat buildup can shorten the life of any electronic product, including the DVD
player. Once you have correctly connected your new DVD player to your other components, you
should be able to enjoy many trouble-free years of performance.
We conduct a thorough quality and performance test on each and every DVD player we build in
our factory prior to shipment. In the rare case of a defect that may occur after shipment, we
stand behind our DVD players with a two-year parts and labor warranty. To register for this warranty, please complete and mail the enclosed warranty card back to ADCOM. Also, please keep
a copy of your sales receipt with the owner’s manual so you may provide proof of eligibility for
the warranty should the need arise.
We know you will be very happy with the audio and video performance of your new DVD player. We
hope you will also consider other ADCOM products, such as our line of multichannel amplifiers and
preamplifiers. In addition, we design and manufacture complementary products such as surge suppressors and speaker selectors. Please visit our web site at www.adcom.com to learn more about
our complete line of stereo, home theater, and distributed audio/video products.
On behalf of all of us at ADCOM, I want to thank you for selecting our product for your home or

1.4 Input & Output
System Connections
Like the front panel, the GDV-850’s
rear panel is carefully arranged to
make hookup, configuration, and use
as simple as possible. However, the
GDV-850’s capabilities take some study
to use most effectively. We strongly
suggest that you read this section of
the manual before beginning to hook
up your player. You will save yourself
much time and effort if you carefully
think out what you expect from your
system, consider the components you
will use, where they’ll be placed,
and how you will want them to work
together. The notes in this section and
the connection diagrams that follow
will probably answer most of your
questions about interfacing the GDV-
850 into your system.
[11]
Region Code
The GDV-850 is configured for use in spe-
cific geographic locations. Geographic
regions around the world are assigned a
numeric code by the DVD forum which is
indicated on this icon. See section 7.0 of
this manual for more information.
[12]
Component Output
Use this output to connect the GDV-850
18
19 20 16
to a preamp that accepts component
video input or directly to your display. A
component video signal typically refers
to Y/Pb/Pr, which consists of three
75-ohm channels: one for luminance
information, and two for color.
Note: The 480P progressive scan output can only be used with
a digital television capable of displaying or converting 480P images.
[13]
Video Format Switch
With the GDV-850 you have the abil-
ity to switch between progressive-scan
(480p) and an interlaced (480i) video
signal. Use this switch to set the video
output format. When the progressive
output is selected the S-video and
composite outputs are disabled and the
progressive status indicator on the front
panel will illuminate.
[14]
S-video Output
S-video may also be referred to as
Y/C, the abbreviation for luminance/
chrominance. The S-video cable uses
a four-pin connector that is most com-
21
22 24
monly used with VCRs and DVD players.
S-video delivers a better picture than
composite connections and should be
used whenever possible unless you can
use component connections, which typi-
cally deliver better video than S-video.
[15]
Composite Output
Composite video is used in nearly all con-
sumer video devices. Both chrominance
and luminance signals are carried on the
same 75-ohm RCA cable. Chrominance is
carried in a 3.58-mHz (NTSC) sideband
and filtered out by the TV’s notch or
comb filter. Poor filtering can result in
dot crawl, hanging dots, or other im-
age artifacts. We recommend using this
output only when component or S-video
inputs are not available.
[16]
RS232 Input
Allows control of the GDV-850 via com-
puter or home automation system. A DB-9
| ADCOM GDV-850 Owner’s Manual8
cable is used to make the connection to
the GDV-850. Refer to section 2.3 for
more detail.
[17]
Analog Audio Output
Using the analog audio output allows
the internal DSP and DACs to decode
and convert the data from the disc to
analog signals. This output is used when
connecting the player to an analog stereo
preamp, and is necessary for use in many
distributed audio setups. This output
can also make use of analog direct
modes available on many preamplifiers
like ADCOM’s GTP-880.
[18]
5.1 Audio Output
To enjoy the high resolution playback
of multichannel DVD-Audio discs,
connect these six RCA jacks to the 5.1
analog inputs on your preamplifier or
receiver. Use six separate RCA cables
to make the connection to your pre-
amp. Due to copy protection issues,
the digital output may need to be off
during playback of DVD-Audio discs.
[19]
Digital Audio Output
Dolby Digital and DTS movie sound
tracks will be sent to your preampli-
fier via the digital audio output. Your
preamplifier must be able to decode
Dolby Digital and/or DTS digital sig-
nals. Otherwise, you will need to use
the GDV-850’s 5.1 analog outputs to
enjoy Dolby Digital and DTS sound.
[21]
IR Input
Use the IR input jack to connect an
external IR sensor to the GDV-850
when the unit is installed behind doors
or where it is not otherwise visible to
the remote.
[22]
Voltage Switch
Before plugging the unit in make sure
the voltage is set to your country’s
voltage configuration. The GDV-850
should be unplugged prior to flipping
this switch. If you are uncertain, please
have your installer or dealer verify
before proceeding.
[23]
Main AC Power Switch
Turns the current to the GDV-850 on
or off. Setting this button to the on
position supplies power to the unit,
enabling use of the standby power
button on the front panel. When the
main power switch is in the off posi-
tion, current is cut off to the unit.
[24]
IEC AC Input
Use to connect the supplied IEC re-
movable AC power cord (see page 2
for all warnings). Before proceeding,
please observe the following precau-
tions when connecting devices to your
new GDV-850.
Do not plug the power cord into your
GDV-850 until all other connections
have been made.
Caution: Before you plug the power cord
into an AC wall outlet, confirm that all
connections to the GDV-850 have been
made correctly.
Warning: Never disconnect the power cord
from the GDV-850 while the other end is
plugged into an AC outlet. Doing so may
cause an electric shock. Always connect
power by plugging into the AC outlet last
and disconnect by unplugging from the AC
outlet first.
[20]
12V DC Trigger
A trigger, if properly hooked-up, can prove
to be very convenient. Use the 12V DC
trigger in conjunction with your preamp
to turn the player on and off. The trigger
output from your preamp should go in to
the trigger input on the rear panel of the
GDV-850. A pass-through output jack is
provided to allow trigger control of ad-
ditional components in your system.
Insert the supplied power cord into
the AC input of the rear panel of the
GDV-850. Do not use a power cord
other than the one supplied with the
GDV-850. It’s designed for use with the
