Monster Cable DVD Player - Recorder User Manual

DVD PLAYER/ RECORDER

DVD players offer near HDTV-quality pictures and high-resolution surround sound, but only when using the right connections.

• The best quality video connection you can make from a DVD player is the HDMI connection. Many newer DVD players and recorders feature an HDMI connection -- if you've got it, and your TV and/or AV receiver can accept it, use this connection.

• The next best video connection you can make from a DVD player/recorder is a Component Video connection. Besides HDMI, this connec tion is the only way to enjoy the benefit of progressive-scan video from your DVD player, which results in a dramatically smoother, flicker free picture.

• If neither HDMI nor Component Video is available on your DVD player, or if you have an older TV and/or A/V receiver, use an S-Video connection. You won't get the benefit of progres sive scan picture, but the picture will still be clearer than connecting with basic Composite Video cable.

• Use the DVD player's HDMI, Fiber Optic or Digital Coax connection to send the audio from your player to the A/V receiver. This keeps the digital surround and stereo audio in its pure digital form for the receiver to process.

• For the best possible picture and sound, plus protection from surges and spikes, use a Monster PowerCenter™ with Clean Power® to connect your DVD player and other home theater components.

Monster HDMI Connection Tip

Certain A/V receivers, digital cable/satellite receivers, DVD players and digital TVs may not output/process audio or repeat HDCP encoding when connected via HDMI—causing loss of audio or connection failure.

You may need to connect using Component Video and Digital Audio connections, depending upon your system equipment.
