SERVICING PRECAUTIONS

NOTES REGARDING HANDLING OF THE PICK-UP

1. Notes for transport and storage

1) The pick-up should always be left in its conductive bag until immediately prior to use.

2) The pick-up should never be subjected to external pressure or impact.

2. Repair notes

1) The pick-up incorporates a strong magnet, and so should never be brought close to magnetic materials.

2) The pick-up should always be handled correctly and carefully, taking care to avoid external pressure and impact. If it is subjected to strong pressure or impact, the result may be an operational malfunction and/or damage to the printed-circuit board.

3) Each and every pick-up is already individually adjusted to a high degree of precision, and for that reason the adjustment point and installation screws should absolutely never be touched.

4) Laser beams may damage the eyes! Absolutely never permit laser beams to enter the eyes! Also NEVER switch ON the power to the laser output part (lens, etc.) of the pick-up if it is damaged.

5) Cleaning the lens surface If there is dust on the lens surface, the dust should be cleaned away by using an air bush (such as used for camera lens). The lens is held by a delicate spring. When cleaning the lens surface, therefore, a cotton swab should be used, taking care not to distort this.

6) Never attempt to disassemble the pick-up. Spring by excess pressure. If the lens is extremely dirty, apply isopropyl alcohol to the cotton swab. (Do not use any other liquid cleaners, because they will damage the lens.) Take care not to use too much of this alcohol on the swab, and do not allow the alcohol to get inside the pick-up.

Storage in conductive bag

NEVER look directly at the laser beam, and don’t let contact fingers or other exposed skin.

NOTES REGARDING COMPACT DISC PLAYER REPAIRS

1. Preparations

1) Compact disc players incorporate a great many ICs as well as the pick-up (laser diode). These components are sensitive to, and easily affected by, static electricity. If such static electricity is high voltage, components can be damaged, and for that reason components should be handled with care.

2) The pick-up is composed of many optical components and other high-precision components. Care must be taken, therefore, to avoid repair or storage where the temperature of humidity is high, where strong

magnetism is present, or where there is excessive dust.

2. Notes for repair

1) Before replacing a component part, first disconnect the power supply lead wire from the unit

2) All equipment, measuring instruments and tools must be grounded.

3) The workbench should be covered with a conductive sheet and grounded. When removing the laser pick-up from its conductive bag, do not place the pick-up on the bag. (This is because there is the possibility of damage by static electricity.)

4) To prevent AC leakage, the metal part of the soldering iron should be grounded.

5) Workers should be grounded by an armband (1MΩ)

6) Care should be taken not to permit the laser pick-up to come in contact with clothing, in order to prevent static electricity changes in the clothing to escape from the armband.

7) The laser beam from the pick-up should NEVER be directly facing the eyes or bare skin.

ESD PRECAUTIONS

Electrostatically Sensitive Devices (ESD)

Some semiconductor (solid state) devices can be damaged easily by static electricity. Such components commonly are called Electrostatically Sensitive Devices (ESD). Examples of typical ESD devices are integrated circuits and some field-effect transistors and semiconductor chip components. The following techniques should be used to help reduce the incidence of component damage caused by static electricity.

1. Immediately before handling any semiconductor component or semiconductor-equipped assembly, drain off any electrostatic charge on your body by touching a known earth ground. Alternatively, obtain and wear a commercially available discharging wrist strap device, which should be removed for potential shock reasons prior to applying power to the unit under test.

2. After removing an electrical assembly equipped with ESD devices, place the assembly on a conductive surface such as aluminum foil, to prevent electrostatic charge buildup or exposure of the assembly.

3. Use only a grounded-tip soldering iron to solder or unsolder ESD devices.

4. Use only an anti-static solder removal device. Some solder removal devices not classified as "anti-static" can generate electrical charges sufficient to damage ESD devices.

5. Do not use freon-propelled chemicals. These can generate electrical charges sufficient to damage ESD devices.

6. Do not remove a replacement ESD device from its protective package until immediately before you are ready to install it. (Most replacement ESD devices are packaged with leads electrically shorted together by conductive foam, aluminum foil or comparable conductive materials).

7. Immediately before removing the protective material from the leads of a replacement ESD device, touch the protective material to the chassis or circuit assembly into which the device will by installed.

CAUTION : BE SURE NO POWER IS APPLIED TO THE CHASSIS OR CIRCUIT, AND OBSERVE ALL

OTHER SAFETY PRECAUTIONS.

8. Minimize bodily motions when handing unpackaged replacement ESD devices. (Otherwise harmless motion such as the brushing together of your clothes fabric or the lifting of your foot from a carpeted floor can generate static electricity sufficient to damage an ESD device).

REAR-PANEL CONNECTIONS

Remote Infrared (IR) Input and Output: When the Remote IR sensor on the front panel is blocked, such as when the DVD 48 is placed inside a cabinet, connect the IR Output of your receiver/processor or an optional IR receiver to the Remote IR Input jack for use with the remote control.The Remote IR Output may be connected to the Remote IR Input of a compatible source device (or other product) to enable remote control through the DVD 48.When several devices are used, connect them in “daisy chain” fashion.

HDMI Output: If you have an HDMI-compatible receiver or video display device,connect this output to an HDMI input on the receiver or video display for high-quality digital audio and video.Even if your receiver is not capable of processing audio in the HDMI format, you will still experience the superb reproduction of HDMI video.

In all cases,the video display must be HDCP-compliant in order to use the HDMI output. For best results,we do not recommend HDMI connections in excess of ten feet without a repeater. If your video display has a DVI input, you may use an optional HDMI-to-DVI cable or adapter for the video connection to the display, and a separate audio connection.

The DVD 48 is Simplay HD-verified for compatibility via the HDMI connection with other Simplay HD-verified products.

NOTE: To use the HDMI Output,make sure to turn it on by pressing the HDMI Button on the remote.When the HDMI Output is turned on, the Component Video Outputs are not available for use.

The following audio formats may be output via the HDMI connection: Audio CD – 2-Channel PCM or 5.1-channel DTS DVD-Audio – 2-Channel or 5.1-channel PCM DVD-Video – Up to 5.1-channel Dolby Digital, DTS or PCM

NOTE: To hear the high-resolution surround sound recorded on SACD discs,connect the 6-Channel Audio Outputsto the corresponding input jacks on your receiver or processor. This format is not output digitally. If your receiver is not capable of processing the audio portion of an HDMI signal, use the 6-Channel Audio Outputs to enjoy DVD-Audio discs as well.

To hear a 2-channel analog downmix via the 2-Channel Analog Audio Outputs,select Stereo at the Analog Output setting in the AUDIO SETUP submenu,or press the Audio Mode Button on the remote repeatedly until the Stereo setting is selected.

Coaxial and Optical Digital Audio Outputs: If your receiver or processor has an available digital audio input, connect either of these digital audio outputs to the corresponding input on the receiver/processor to enjoy digital audio formats such as Dolby Digital, DTS or standard PCM (traditionally found on CDs and may be available on other discs). Never connect both of these outputs to the same device simultaneously. However, it is okay to connect one of the digital audio outputs plus the analog audio outputs to the same device.

NOTE: The Coaxial Digital Output should only be connected to a digital input. Even though it is the same RCA-type connector as standard analog audio connections,DO NOT connect it to a conventional analog input jack.

Component Video Outputs: If your television or video display and receiver are component video-capable,and your display does not have

an HDMI input, connect these jacks to the corresponding inputs on the receiver or TV that are labeled “Y/Pr/Pb” or “Y/Cr/Cb.” If your video display is capable of handling resolutions of 480p or better, connect these outputs to the HD (high-definition) component video inputs on your display. If the display is capable of displaying progressive-scan video,select On at the Progressive Scan setting in the VIDEO SETUP submenu.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not connect the Component Video Output jacks to standard composite video inputs on any device.

Composite and S-Video Outputs: If your video display does not have HDMI or component video inputs,connect one of these two video outputs to your receiver/processor or directly to the display. If available, S-video is preferred. Do not connect more than one of the DVD 48’s analog video outputs (component video,S-video, composite video) to any other device at the same time.You may connect both the HDMI Output and the Composite Video Output to your receiver if your receiver distributes composite video through a multiroom system.

2-Channel Analog Audio Outputs: Connect these outputs to the left and right analog audio inputs on your receiver/processor or TV.You may connect these jacks in addition to a digital audio connection, and it is recommended that you do so as a backup if you wish to use the DVD 48 as a source device for a multiroom system or if you wish to make analog recordings,as it is not possible to make digital recordings of most DVDs.

6-Channel Analog Audio Outputs: Connect these outputs to the matching 6-channel analog audio inputs on your receiver or surround sound processor. This connection is required to listen to the multichannel tracks on SACD discs.If the disc also contains a Linear PCM,Dolby Digital or DTS track, you may listen to it using the HDMI Output, the Coaxial or Optical Digital Audio Output or the 2-Channel Analog Audio Outputs.

NOTE: A 2-channel downmix is not available simultaneously with a 6-channel presentation. Set the Analog Output in the AUDIO SETUP menu to Stereo to hear a 2-channel downmix, available at both the 2-Channel Analog Audio Outputs and the front left and right outputs of the 6-Channel Analog Audio Outputs. In Stereo mode,no audio will be available at the center and surround outputs of the 6-Channel Analog Audio Outputs.

If the 6-Channel Analog Audio Outputs are connected to corresponding 6-channel inputs on your receiver, set the Analog Output in the AUDIO SETUP menu to Multichannel to hear all six channels (if available on the disc). In Multichannel mode,only the front left and right channel information will be available at the 2-Channel Analog Audio Outputs, without any center or surround information.

AC Power Input: Connect the AC power cord to an AC outlet, and plug the cord’s female end into this receptacle. If the outlet is controlled by a switch, make certain that it is in the ON position. If the cord somehow becomes damaged, contact your authorized Harman Kardon dealer for a replacement.

CONNECTIONS

There are different types of audio and video connections used to connect the DVD 48 to your receiver or processor and video display. To make it easier to keep them all straight, the Consumer Electronics

Association (CEA

) has established a color-coding standard. Table 1

may be helpful to you as a reference while you set up your system.

Types of Connections

This section will briefly review different types of cables and connections that you may use to set up your system.

Audio and video signals originate in what are known as “source devices,” including a DVD/CD player such as the DVD 48.

Separate connections are required for the audio and video portions of the signal unless an HDMI connection is used (see below).The types of connections used depend upon what’s available on your receiver, and for video signals,the capabilities of your video display.

Audio Connections

There are two formats for audio connections: digital and analog. Digital audio signals are required for listening to sources encoded with digital surround modes,such as Dolby Digital and DTS. There are two types of digital audio connections commonly used: coaxial and optical. Either type of digital audio connection may be used, but never both simultaneously. However, it’s okay to make both analog and digital audio connections at the same time to the same source.

NOTE: The DVD 48 outputs digital audio signals through the HDMI connection. If your receiver/processor or video display is capable of

processing

then you will not need to make a separate digital audio connection. However,as explained in the Analog Audio section below, you may still need to make the analog audio connections.

If your receiver/processor is only capable of signals,use HDMI for your video connection only and connect either the DVD 48’s coaxial or optical digital audio output to the corresponding input on your receiver.

In addition, SACD audio is not transmitted via HDMI. Use the 2- or 6-Channel Analog Audio Outputs to enjoy your SACD discs.

Digital Audio

Coaxial digital audio jacks are usually color-coded in orange.Although they look similar to analog jacks,they should not be confused,and you should not connect coaxial digital audio outputs to analog inputs or vice versa. See Figure 1.

Figure 1 – Coaxial Digital Audio

Coaxial

Optical digital audio connectors are normally covered by a shutter to protect them from dust.The shutter opens as the cable is inserted. See Figure 2.

Optical digital audio cable

Figure 2 – Optical Digital Audio

Due to the nature of digital signals as binary bits,they aren’t subject to signal degradation the way analog signals are.Therefore, the quality of coaxial and optical digital audio connections should be the same, although it is important to limit the length of the cable.Whichever type of connection you choose,Harman Kardon recommends that you always select the highest quality cables available within your budget.

Analog Audio

Analog connections require two cables,one for the left channel (white) and one for the right channel (red). See Figure 3. These two cables are often attached to each other for most of their length. Most devices that have digital audio jacks also have analog audio jacks.We recommend that you always connect the DVD 48’s 2-Channel Analog Audio Outputs to your receiver/processor, or to your TV if you are not using a receiver. There are four reasons to use analog audio connections,even if you are using one of the digital audio connections:

1.To make recordings.Most DVDs are protected from digital copying

and only analog copies are permitted. Please make sure to comply with all copyright laws when making recordings for personal use.

2. In a multiroom system. Many receivers and processors require

sources used in multiroom systems to output analog audio signals.

3.When connecting the DVD 48 directly to a non-HDMI TV.The TV

may not have digital audio inputs.

4.When playing high-resolution 96kHz PCM audio discs. If your receiver

is not capable of processing 96kHz audio,you may need to use the analog audio connection.

NOTE: The DVD 48 is capable of downmixing multichannel materials and outputting a 2-channel downmix. Make sure to adjust the Analog Output setting in the AUDIO SETUP menu to Stereo.

CONNECTIONS

Multichannel analog connections are used with high-resolution audio discs,where the copy-protected digital content is decoded inside the DVD 48.These connections are required for playing SACD discs,and depending on your receiver’s capabilities,may also be required for DVD-Audio,HD-DVD or Blu-ray discs, unless the disc also carries twochannel PCM and 5.1-channel Dolby Digital or DTS soundtracks for use with receivers/processors that are not equipped with 5.1-channel analog inputs.Check the disc’s jacket for more information on alternate audio tracks.See Figure 4.

Figure 4 – Multichannel Analog Audio

NOTE: In order to enjoy the full benefit of lossless multichannel recordings,make sure the Analog Output setting in the AUDIO SETUP menu is set to Multichannel.When the Stereo setting is selected, the center and surround channel information will be combined with the left and right channels,and will only be heard through the front channels.This setting may also be accessed by pressing the Audio Mode Button on the remote.

Video Connections

As mentioned above,the video signal is often transmitted separately from the audio signal. Even when the HDMI connection described below is used, sometimes the receiver is not capable of accessing the audio portion of the HDMI signal, and a separate audio connection is required.

Digital Video

The DVD 48 is equipped with an HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) output. HDMI is capable of carrying digital audio and video information using a single cable,delivering high-quality picture and sound.

The DVD 48 is capable of outputting up to 720p,1080i or 1080p video and 2- or 6-channel PCM or up to 5.1-channel Dolby Digital or DTS audio through its HDMI connection.The DVD 48 is in compliance with HDCP (High-Definition Copy Protection) and the video display must also be HDCP-compliant to be used with the DVD 48’s HDMI output.

The DVD 48 is Simplay HD-verified for compatibility

via the HDMI connection with other Simplay HD-verified products. The physical HDMI connection is simple.The connector is shaped for

easy plug-in (see Figure 5). If your video display has a DVI input, you may use an HDMI-to-DVI adapter (not included) to connect it to the HDMI Output, but a separate audio connection is required.

Figure 5 – HDMI Connection

Analog Video

There are three types of analog video connections: composite video, S-video and component video.

Composite video is the basic connection most commonly available. The jack is usually color-coded yellow, and looks like an analog audio jack, although it is important never to confuse the two.Do not plug a composite video cable into an analog or coaxial digital audio jack, or vice versa. Both the chrominance (color) and luminance (intensity) components of the video signal are transmitted using a single cable. See Figure 6.

Composite video cable

Figure 6 – Composite Video

S-video,or “separate”video, transmits the chrominance and luminance components using separate wires contained within a single cable.The plug on an S-video cable contains four metal pins,plus a plastic guide pin. Be careful to line up the plug correctly when you insert it into the jack on the receiver, source or video display. See Figure 7.

S-video cable

Figure 7 – S-Video

Component video separates the video signal into three components – one luminance (“Y”) and two sub-sampled color signals (“Pb” and “Pr”) – that are transmitted using three separate cables.The “Y” cable is color-coded green, the “Pb”cable is colored blue and the “Pr”cable is colored red. See Figure 8.

Component video cable

Figure 8 – Component Video

Do not confuse component video connections with composite video (described above).Although the plugs and jacks may look similar, they are not compatible and cross-connecting them will result in no picture or a very distorted picture.Remember that component video uses three connections,colored green,blue and red, while composite video uses a single connection, which is often color-coded yellow.

If your video display is capable of handling progressive-scan signals (480p or better), then connect the DVD 48’s Component Video Outputs to the input jacks on your video display marked “HD Component”.Make sure to configure your display for use with 480p video signals.Set the Progressive Scan setting in the DVD 48’s VIDEO SETUP menu to On.

NOTES:

• The DVD 48’s component and HDMI outputs are not available simultaneously. Press the HDMI Button on the remote to turn the HDMI Output On or Off. When it is On, the Component Video Outputs are Off, and vice versa.

• For simplified operation,connect one of the DVD 48’s video outputs to your receiver or processor, and use the receiver/ processor as a switching device for all of your sources,

DVD48 harman/kardon

CONNECTIONS

connecting only the receiver/processor to your video display. However, if your receiver is not capable of switching HDMI signals,connect the DVD 48’s HDMI Output directly to an HDMI-capable video display for superior picture quality.

• If you are using the DVD 48 with a multiroom receiver/ processor that is capable of distributing video,connect the DVD 48’s Composite Video Output to the receiver in addition to the HDMI, Component Video or S-Video Output.

If it’s available on your video display, HDMI is recommended as the best-quality connection, followed in preference by component video, S-video and then composite video.Except as indicated above for use in a multiroom system, do not connect more than one video output from the DVD 48 to another device.

Remote IR Input and Output

The DVD 48 is equipped with an infrared input and output to facilitate use of your system with a remote control in a variety of situations.

When the DVD 48 is placed in such a way that aiming the remote at the front-panel IR sensor is difficult, such as inside a cabinet or facing away from the listener, you may connect an external IR receiver, such as the optional Harman Kardon HE 1000, to the Remote IR Input jack.

If your receiver or any of your other components are equipped with a compatible remote IR input, you may use the included 1/8" mini-plug interconnect cable to connect the Remote IR Output to the device’s remote IR input, which will pass any applicable remote signals transmitted through the DVD 48 to the other device.This enables you to control your devices even when the DVD 48 itself is controlled via an external IR receiver.

To control more than one device using the Remote IR Output, connect all devices in “daisy chain”fashion, with the receiver’s remote IR output connected to the DVD 48’s Remote IR input,then the DVD 48’s Remote IR Output connected to the next device’s remote IR input,that device’s remote IR output connected to the next device’s remote IR input,and so forth.

NOTE: Not all remote controllable devices are equipped with compatible IR inputs and outputs.Check with the manufacturer of the source device for more information on the type of IR signal expected.The DVD 48 will output a “stripped carrier” IR signal.

DVD48 harman/kardon

INSTALLATION

You are now ready to connect the DVD 48 to your system. Before beginning,make sure that all components, including the DVD 48, completely off and their power cords are unplugged. Don’t plug any

of the power cords back in until you have finished making all of your connections.

Many components in a home theater system, such as a receiver or power amplifier, generate a great deal of heat that can interfere with the operation of the DVD 48.Therefore,it is best to place the DVD 48 on its own shelf instead of stacking it directly on top of another component. It is also a good idea to check the finish of your shelf. Some wood or other finishes can be affected over time by the DVD 48’s rubber feet.

Step One – Connect the DVD 48 to Other Components

Select one of the following two sections,depending on whether you are connecting the DVD 48 directly to a television or video display, or if you are using an audio/video receiver or processor (this manual will use the term “receiver”to refer to either a receiver or a processor) that incorporates the DVD 48 as part of a home theater system.

Connecting the DVD 48 Directly to a Television

If your television is HDMI-capable and HDCP-compliant, then only one cable connection is required, and it will carry both audio and video signals.Use the included HDMI cable to connect the DVD 48’s HDMI output to your television’s HDMI input.See Figure 9. If your television has a DVI input rather than an HDMI input, purchase an HDMI-to-DVI cable or adapter, and make a separate audio connection to the TV.

The DVD 48 is Simplay HD- verified for compatibility

via the HDMI connection with other Simplay HD-verified products.

If your video display does not have an HDMI input, then separate audio and video connections are required. Select one of these types of video connections,in order of preference:component video,S-video, composite video.See Figure 10.

Figure 10 – Component, S- and Composite Video Outputs

Most video displays are not equipped with coaxial or optical digital audio inputs.If your display is, then it would be preferable to connect one of the DVD 48’s digital audio outputs to the corresponding input on your display. However, most likely you will use the 2-Channel Analog Audio Outputs.See Figure 11.

Figure 11 – 2-Channel Analog Audio Outputs

NOTE: The DVD 48 is capable of downmixing 5.1-channel materials to the 2-channel format, but it is necessary to adjust the Analog Output setting in the AUDIO SETUP menu to Stereo. You may also access this setting by pressing the Audio Mode Button on the remote.If you leave the Analog Output setting at Multichannel, the DVD 48 will only output content specific to the front left and right channels through the 2-Channel Analog Audio Outputs,losing the center and surround channel information.

After you have connected the DVD 48 to your television, skip to Step Two for more information.

Connecting the DVD 48 to an Audio/Video Receiver

One of the major advantages of the DVD format is its ability to use a variety of digital audio formats for the ultimate in sonic performance. In addition, the DVD 48 is capable of playing DVD-Audio and SACD discs,which contain high-resolution multichannel audio materials. In order to benefit from these audio formats,we strongly recommend that you connect the DVD 48 to a 5.1-, 6.1- or 7.1-channel audio/video receiver with the ability to decode digital audio such as Dolby Digital and DTS, and with 5.1-channel “direct”analog audio inputs.Harman Kardon AVR Series receivers are compatible with the DVD 48.

The DVD 48 may also be used with an analog A/V receiver by connecting the 2-Channel Analog Audio Outputs to any one of the receiver ’s inputs (in addition to a video connection).

If your receiver is HDMI-capable,connect the DVD 48’s HDMI Output to one of the receiver’s HDMI inputs.See Figure 9.If the receiver is equipped with a DVI port, purchase an HDMI-to-DVI cable or adapter, and make a separate audio connection from the DVD 48 to the receiver.

The DVD 48 is Simplay HD-verified for compatibility

via the HDMI connection with other Simplay HD-verified products.

Figure 9 (repeated) – HDMI Output

Check your receiver’s owner’s manual to determine how it handles HDMI signals.It may simply switch the signal,it may process the audio portion of the signal but not the video portion, or it may be capable of processing both the audio and video portions of the signal. If the receiver only switches the signal, but is not capable of accessing and processing the audio or video data, then a separate audio connection is required, as explained below.

INSTALLATION

Even if you connected one of the DVD 48’s digital audio outputs to your receiver, you may wish to connect the 2-Channel Analog Audio Outputs to your TV (if it isn’t HDMI-capable) so that you may watch a DVD without turning on your complete home theater system. If you make this connection, remember to also connect one of the DVD 48’s

Figure 10 (repeated) – Component, S- and Composite Video Outputs

If your receiver is equipped with digital audio inputs,then select coaxial or optical digital audio input, and connect it to the corresponding output on the DVD 48. See Figure 12. This step also applies to a receiver that is only capable of HDMI switching and cannot process the audio portion of the HDMI signal. If your HDMI-capable receiver processes the HDMI audio,then do not make another digital audio connection.

Figure 12 – Coaxial and Optical Digital Audio Outputs

If you wish to enjoy SACD discs in their native lossless format, connect the DVD 48’s 6-Channel Analog Audio Outputs to the corresponding 6-channel analog audio inputs on the receiver. This connection is necessary because the digital content is copy-protected and decoded by the DVD 48, with only the analog audio output available.If your receiver is not capable of processing the audio portion of an HDMI signal, use the 6-Channel Analog Audio Outputs to enjoy DVD-Audio discs, or change the DVD Audio mode setting in the GENERAL SETUP menu to DVDVideo to listen to any Dolby Digital, DTS or PCM materials that may be available on the disc (check the disc’s jacket).See Figure 13.

video outputs directly to the TV.

Step Two – Plug In AC Power

Having made all of your wiring connections,it is now time to power up the DVD 48. Plug the AC Power cord into a working, unswitched AC outlet, and plug the female end into the receptacle on the DVD 48’s rear panel. See Figure 14.

Figure 14 – AC Input for Power Cord

Step Three – Insert Batteries in Remote

The DVD 48 remote control uses two AAA batteries (included). To remove the batter y cover located on the back of the remote, firmly

press the ridged area and slide the cover towards the bottom of the remote.

Insert the batteries as shown in Figure 15, making sure to observe the correct polarity.

Figure 13 – 6-Channel Analog Audio Outputs

NOTE: When using the 6-Channel Analog Audio Outputs, remember to adjust the Analog Output setting in the AUDIO SETUP menu to Multichannel for full 5.1-channel playback.

As explained in the Connections section, there may be several reasons for using the DVD 48’s 2-channel Analog Audio Outputs in addition to the Digital Audio Outputs. If you wish to make recordings,to use the DVD 48 as an audio source for a multiroom system, to play 96kHz discs when your receiver is not capable of processing 96kHz audio,or if your receiver is not equipped with digital audio inputs,then connect the DVD 48’s 2-Channel Analog Audio Outputs to any pair of analog audio inputs on the receiver. See Figure 11.

Figure 11 (repeated) – 2-Channel Analog Audio Outputs

Figure 15 – Remote Battery Compartment

When using the remote,remember to point the lens toward the front panel of the DVD 48. Make sure no objects,such as furniture,are blocking the remote’s path.Bright lights,fluorescent lights and plasma video displays may interfere with the remote’s functioning.The remote has a range of about 20 feet, depending on the lighting conditions. It may be used at an angle of up to 30 degrees to either side of the DVD 48.

If the remote seems to operate intermittently, make sure the batteries have been inserted correctly, or replace all three batteries with fresh ones.

Step Four – Turn On the DVD 48

Plugging the DVD 48 into AC power places it in Standby mode, which is indicated by the Power Indicator (next to the Standby/On Switch) turning amber.

NOTE: When HDMI connections are used, tur n on your television or video display before turning on the receiver and DVD 48.
