Setup and Connections

Ensure that the power switch of this unit and other equipment to be connected is set to off before commencing connection.

Do not block ventilation holes of any of the equipment and arrange them so that air can circulate freely.

Read through the instructions before connecting other equipment.

Ensure that you observe the color coding when connecting audio and video cables.

Select the appropriate screen shape at the initial setting “TV Aspect ” according to your TV set (4:3 or 16:9), see page 26.

Connecting to a stereo TV set and stereo or Pro Logic Amplifier/Receiver

TV

To S-Video input

To audio input (red/white)

To video input (yellow)

To power outlet (AC 230V/50 Hz)

Note:

If the DVD/CD player is connected to the TV through a video cassette recorder, the picture may not be played back normally with some DVDs. If this is the case, do not connect the player via the VCR.

The S (separate) video output connector separates the color (C) and luminance (Y) signals before transmitting them to the TV set in order to achieve a sharper picture. Use the S-video cable (optional) when connecting the player to a TV set equipped with an S-video input for improved picture clarity.

Most European TV´s are equipped with SCART connectors rather than with a normal video input (yellow cinch). In that case the SCART connection should be used, providing the audio signal too, (see page 8). Use separate analog audio connections to TV only if your TV is connected to the video or S-video output.

When the audio signal is fed to stereo or Pro Logic amplifiers/decoders or receivers rather than to the TV, connect the Audio Out jacks to any normal audio input on your amplifier/decoder/receiver. The DVD1 will ”downmix” Dolby Digital recordings to Pro Logic, available on these connectors, all analog surround or stereo signals will be fed to them directly.

10

Setup and Connections

Connecting to a receiver/amplifier with Dolby Digital (AC-3) or DTS (Digital Theater Systems) decoder

When DVD´s encoded in Dolby Digital or DTS are played, the Dolby Digital or DTS bitstream is output from the player’s OPTICAL or COAXIAL digital audio output. When the player is connected to a Dolby Digital or DTS decoder, you can enjoy theater-quality audio in your home. An optical digital audio cable or coaxial audio cable (both optional) is required for these connections, as shown below.

Note: With multiple video sources, your Audio/Video device can be used for selecting the video signal and routing it to the TV. Connect the video or S-video output of the DVD1 (whatever is provided with your device) to the video or S-video input on your device and the video/S- video output of this device to your TV. For more details, see the manual of your Audio/Video amplifier/receiver.

Setup and Connections

Connecting to a TV set or monitor with SCART connectors

Important Notes on SCART and RGB format:

Your DVD1 is equipped with two SCART connectors, one for direct connection to the TV, the second (AUX) for throughput of VCR or any other video source to a TV with only one SCART input. The signal from this video source will be routed through the SCART connector of the DVD to the TV automatically when the unit plays (composite video only).

Both SCART connectors provide the video signal as well as audio (stereo L/R) signals.

The SCART connector for the TV provides the composite video signal as well as the direct RGB signal, delivering the best video performance possible. To view RGB video on your TV, the RGB compatible SCART connector must be used. Configure this connector to RGB (e.g. in the TV’s menu), if necessary. Note that with RGB video the colour intensity cannot be adjusted.

When the RGB video signal is used, DVD´s recorded with the NTSC format (with regional code ”Zero” ) or 2 can be viewed on Non-NTSC compatible TVs.

For your reference:

Notes when connecting the optical digital audio cable (optional)

Dolby Digital (AC-3) is a digital sound compression technique developed by the Dolby Laboratories Licensing Corporation.

Supporting 5.1-channel surround sound, as well as stereo (2-channel) sound, this technique enables a large quantity of sound data to be efficiently recorded on a disc.

Linear PCM is a signal recording format used in CDs. While CDs are recorded in 44.1 kHz/16 bit, DVDs are recorded in 48 kHz/16 bit up to 96 kHz /24 bit.

If you have a Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder connected to the DVD1’s analog AUDIO OUT connectors, you will obtain the full benefit of Pro Logic from the same DVD movies that provide full 5.1-channel Dolby Digital soundtracks, as well as from titles with the Dolby Surround mark.

Caution for the optical/coaxial digital audio outputs:

When connecting an amplifier (with an optical/coaxial digital input ) which does not contain the Dolby Digital (AC-3) or DTS decoder, be sure to select “PCM” at “Dolby Digital” and “DTS” of the initial setting “Digital Audio Output” (see also page 27).

Otherwise any attempt to play DVDs may cause such a high level of noise that it may be harmful to your ears and damage your speakers.

CD´s can be played as they would normally be played.

Notes:

Some DTS decoders which do not support DVD-DTS interface may not work properly with the DVD/CD player.

When you use optical digital audio cable, please remove dust protection cap from Optical Jack on the rear panel.

Dolby Digital and DTS

Both Dolby Digital and DTS are audio formats used to record 5.1-channel audio signals onto the digital track of film. Both of these formats provide six separate channels: left, right, center, left rear, right rear, and common subwoofer.

Remember, that Dolby Digital or DTS will only play 5.1-channel sound if you’ve connected a DTS or Dolby Digital receiver or decoder and if the disc was recorded in the Dolby Digital or DTS format.
