3. Analogue Audio output 8. AC power inlet

4. MC-Bus connections 9. PSX-R connection

5. SCART A/V output

(Refer to Fig.1)

Connecting the Video Output to a Television

The video output of the DVD8 may be connected to the television in four different ways. The choice of connection and the picture quality achieved will depend on the options available at the TV. The connections available from the DVD8 are-

COMPONENT VIDEO OUT socket f. This connection should be used when connecting a high grade TV, projector or monitor equipped with individual connectors for Component Video input.

AV CONNECTOR OUT socket e (SCART connection). This is the most convenient connection. The SCART connector includes both RGB and composite video signal formats. This connection will provide the best picture quality results where the television is equipped with RGB input via the SCART connection.

S-VIDEO (Y/C) connection from the S-VIDEO OUT socket f. This system offers superior quality to a composite connection and should be used if the TV has no SCART input or if the SCART input does not include RGB connections.

COMPOSITE connection where required is available from the SCART connector e. A SCART ‘breakout’ lead will be required to access the composite video output.

Connecting Digital Audio to a Multichannel Surround Sound Decoder

For Multi-Channel surround sound systems the COAXIAL a or OPTICAL digital audio outputs from the DVD8 must be connected to a suitable input of a Cyrus digital surround sound decoder.

Connecting Audio to a Stereo System

If a Surround Sound decoder is not to be used the STEREO audio outputs of the DVD8 may be connected to a Cyrus stereo amplifier or preamplifier. The VI or AV inputs are recommended for this.

Connecting the Audio Output to a Television

If DVD sound is required from the television, the audio output from the DVD8 may be connected to the television in two different ways. The connections available are-

SCART connection from the AV CONNECTOR OUT socket e. If the SCART connector is in use for video connection, stereo audio will automatically be connected through the same cable.

STEREO audio output c. If S-Video or composite video connections are in use to the television then a separate audio connection may be made from the audio output sockets c.

Connecting a

The Cyrus PSX-R is a high quality regulated power supply, the use of which will elevate your DVD8 into a true world-class state-of-the-art product.

The connector fitted to the umbilical cable from the PSX-R must be securely connected to the PSX-R socket i on the rear of the DVD8. When correctly fitted, the connector will latch into the socket.

Note:

The PSX-R power supply and the DVD8 will both require connection to

the mains supply.

Cyrus PSX-R

MC-Bus System Connection (Optional)

By using the MC-Bus connection on your DVD8, a highly functional integrated system with full remote control may be set up. This feature is usable if you own a Cyrus amplifier or digital surround decoder. Refer to the relevant product handbook for MC-Bus wiring instructions.

Cyrus DVD8 User Instructions

NOTE:- FTS is selected and Favourite Track Selections are compiled and played using the menu on the TV monitor: ensure that the TV is on.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

If your DVD8 is not operating properly, disconnect the power and check all connections using the notes in this handbook. If problems persist, the checklist below may help.

If you are in any doubt, consult your dealer.

Switch off the power to the system and check that connections have been correctly made from the DVD8 to the TV, amplifier or surround decoder.

Disc Spinning with no sound (one particular disc)

Check in the disc MENU that the correct audio mode is selected for your system.

Region warning displayed when a disc is loaded

Check that the region symbol on the disc matches the region symbol on the rear panel of the player (number with a globe symbol). To avoid this problem ensure that discs are only purchased in the same global region as the player.

Picture stops and jumps to another scene

The disc may be dirty or badly scratched. Try playing another disc. If the other disc plays ok, try cleaning the 1
