Connecting the Speakers

Connecting to a TV

ENG

Before moving or installing the product, be sure to turn off the power and disconnect the power cord.

The loudspeaker connector terminals are located on the rear of the system. There are two terminals on the system:

left speaker (marked L) right speaker (marked R)

To achieve the correct sound quality,insert those speaker connector cables to the speaker connector terminals of the system.

MAX-DG53 MAX-DG54

Please be sure to turn off the power and unplug the power cord before moving or installing this unit. Please choose one video connection method.

Method 1

Connect Video Out on the player to Video

In on your TV.

Using Video Out (Good Quality)

Press the TV/VIDEO button on the remote

of TV control to set the TV to "VIDEO".

CONNECTIONS

Position of the DVD Player

Place it on a stand or cabinet shelf,

•

or under the TV stand.

Front Speakers

Place these speakers in front of your listening

•

position, facing inwards (about 45°) toward you. Place the speakers so that their tweeters will be

•

at the same height as your ear.

Directions in Installing Speaker

•

Installation in a place near heating apparatus, under direct lay of light or with high humidity may cause

performance degradation of the speaker.

•

Do not install on the wall or on a high place of pole or other unstable place to prevent any safety accident

caused by falling of the speaker.

•

Do not take the speaker near from TV or computer monitor.

The speaker near the TV or computer monitor may influence the quality of the screen display.

Selecting the Listening Position

The listening position should be located about 2.5 to 3 times the distance of the TV's screen size away from the TV. Example: For 32" TVs 2~2.4m (6~8feet)

For 55" TVs 3.5~4m (11~13feet)

Subwoofer

•

The position of the subwoofer is not so critical.

Place it anywhere you like.

Note

(supplied)

Composite Video: A single video signal that is a composite of the black-and-white

• information (Y) and the color information (C).

Connecting to a TV(Con’t)

Please be sure to turn off the power and unplug the power cord before moving or installing this unit. Please choose one video connection method.

P.SCAN (Progressive Scan) Function

Unlike regular Interlace Scan, in which two fields of picture information alternate to create the entire picture (odd scan lines, then even scan lines), Progressive Scan uses one field of information (all lines displayed in one pass) to create a clear and detailed picture without visible scan lines.

ENG

Method 2

Component Video (Best Quality)

Use this method if your TV have Pr,Pb andY jacks.

If your television is equipped with Component Video inputs,connect a component video cable from the Pr,Pb and Y jacks on the back panel of the system to the corresponding jacks on your television.

COMPONENT

You can select "Progressive Scan" or "Interlace Scan" for your TV. Please go to <Setup><Display Setup><Video Output> and set I-SCAN or P-SCAN. (see the page 35.)

What is Progressive (or Non-Interlaced) Scanning?

Interlaced Scan (1 FRAME = 2 FIELDS)

In interlaced-scan video, a frame consists of two interlaced fields (odd and even), where each field contains every other horizontal line in the frame. The odd field of alternating lines is displayed first, and then the even field is displayed to fill in the alternating gaps left by the odd field to form a single frame. One frame, displayed every 1/25th of a second, contains two interfaced fields, thus a total of 50 fields are displayed every 1/50th of a second. The interlaced scanning method is intended for capturing a still object.

Progressive Scan (FULL FRAME)

The progressive scanning method scans one full frame of video consecutively down the screen, line by line. An entire image is drawn at one time, as opposed to the interlaced scanning process by which a video image is drawn in a series of passes. The progressive scanning method is desirable for dealing with moving objects.

CONNECTIONS

(not supplied)

Note

This function works only on TVs equipped with component video inputs (Y, Pr, Pb) that support

Progressive Video. (It does not work on TVs with conventional component inputs, i.e., non-progressive scan TVs.)
