DVD module
The DVD Module MK4 (1.551.083.06/07 SCART / Cinch version) has been developed for use in the M51 MK2 (from serial number 4000) and particularly supports the M51 MK2 DVD drive. Earlier M51 generations
cannot be
operated with this DVD module.
The DVD module from Revox is the audio-visual interface between DVD drive, video components and the M51. The high quality DVD drive transmits the digital data to the STDV board and/or the DVD module. Here, they are converted with 24-bit accuracy into an analogue signal. This then either fed directly through the ultralinear path to the outputs or transferred as a digital signal to the Decoder module, which handles the conversion to a 5:1 multi­channel format.
In addition, the DVD plug-in card creates the connection to the video components through a fully switched SCART socket, which delivers all commonly-used picture formats, even the high quality YUV (Y Cr Cb) component signal. The DVD module is also available optionally as a Cinch version.
Perfect picture – DVS Module
Together with the M51 (from SN 4000), the new DVD
MK4 module offers you
for the option to support a DVS module. This DVS module is a
Digital Video Sclaer that transfers the digital video data perfectly, directly from the DVD drive to a digital picture output device, e.g. the Re:ception 42 HD Plasma TV from Revox, with HDMI interface. The DVS module is installed parallel to the DVD module in Slot 4.
Important – Read-in time When a disc is inserted into the M51
MK2 drive, it first carries out a surface
and data scan before it starts to play. Additionally, folders and file structures are analysed in the case of MP3 and JPG discs. For this reason, depending on the number of tracks, the read-in time can take up to 15 seconds before the disc starts to play.
Within the plug-in modules, the DVD module has a special role to play. As it forms the audio-visual interface, it is
not possible to operate the integrated DVD player without the DVD card being present.

Installation
The DVD plug-in card has the most modern technology on it and should be handled with care.
Before you start to install the card, the M51
must be switched off and the power plug must be removed from the power socket.
Slot 3 is reserved for the DVD module, the third slot from the right viewed from the back of the unit.
Loosen the two screws with the TORX screwdriver supplied and remove the slot blanking plate.
Before removing the DVD module from its packaging, make sure that you are not charged with any static electricity. This could cause a damaging power discharge when you touch the module.
To be on the safe side, you should discharge any static from yourself by touching an earthed metal object such as a radiator.
Remove the DVD module from its packaging and insert it into the slot position, using the two tracks within the M51 to guide it into position. The lettering on the card must be at the top. Just before the card is fully inserted, you will feel a certain mechanical resistance as the card meets the M51 contact strip. Push the card fully home by pushing in the area where the 2 screw holes are located and fix it in place with the two screws.
All further steps needed to integrate the new module into the M51 will be carried out automatically next time the unit is switched on.

SCART connection panel
The DVD module is available with two different back panels.
The standard module represents a fully switched SCART version.
SCART connection
All commonly used video and audio formats can be handled through the SCART connector (marked as AV-Link). The pin assignments conform to the international SCART standard.
The DVD module can be connected to your television, video recorder or other video components using the SCART to SCART cable supplied.
You can of course also operate a plasma screen of a video projector through the SCART connector. If these devices don’t have a SCART input, you can obtain the corresponding cable or adapter directly from Revox or from you nearest specialist dealer.
As well as the video and audio signals, the SCART output also supplies the control signals for the optional
M300 video switch, which allows you to control a further 6 video/audio sources through your M51.

Digital output
The digital audio signal can be taken from the optical digital output
DIGITAL OUT using a fibre optic cable. This connection is often referred as
TOS­Link. This signal can be used for an external decoder or for digital recording devices such as MiniDISC and DAT players.
With normal audio CDs, you get a digital stereo signal (SPDIFF).
With DVD replay, there is a 5.1 signal at the digital output that is only suitable for decoders.
Unlike analogue music signals, the digital signal can transmit several music channels in one cable. For this reason, only one cable per device is needed for a stereo or multi-channel transmission with the
DIGITAL-OUT
output.

RCA plug connection panel
A RCA plug version is also available, which outputs the audio and video components individually through RCA sockets.
RCA connections
The following video output signals can be handled through the RCA sockets:
Y : CVBS-Video (FBAS)
Y/C : S-Video (S-VHS)
Y/Cb/Cr : Component signal
As well as video signals, audio signals are also output individually:
Audio OUT : L + R
Audio signal for sound output from the CD/DVD source to the television speaker or for external recording purposes.
Audio IN : L + R
Audio signal input, e.g. television sound, which can be replayed through the
M51 TV source.
Digital Out
Using the optical digital output DIGITAL OUT (TOS-Link socket), the CD/DVD sound can be transferred to external devices, e.g. digital recorders.
to M301
Control cable connection for the M301 video switch. Further information can be found on Page

Video switch principle
A separately available video switch can be connected to both the SCART version and the RCA plug version of the DVD module.
Essentially, the M300/M301 video switch is a set of external connections where different video output and different recording devices can be connected.
For the SCART version, you need the M300 video switch and for the RCA plug version, you need the
M301. These two versions differ from each other through the way they are connected to the DVD module. The connections for the video devices and the monitor outputs are the same.
Connecting a video switch adds an additional 6 video sources (Video 1...6) to the M51 Source menu.
The M51 takes over the complete control of the video switch. The audio signal from the video sources attached is transmitted by the M51 whereas the picture signal is handled by the video devices attached, such as TV, video projector, etc.
The following two pages give you an overview of the connection options.
