(furniture), with enough space around it for ventilation (7-10 cm) • Ensure that the ventilation
slots, and the device itself, are not covered by objects such as a mat, newspapers, curtain, etc. • Do
not stack any other equipment on top of your DTH 8000. Do not place the device on top of an
amplifier or any other equipment that gives off heat • The appliance should not be in contact with
liquids or exposed to the risk of dripping or splashing.Therefore be careful not to place any
object containing a liquid (vase, glass, bottle,...) on or near your appliance • The DTH 8000 must
not be near or exposed to a flame. For instance, do not place a candle on or near the device •
Protect the DTH 8000 from moisture and excess heat (e.g. fireplace) or equipment creating
strong magnetic or electric fields (i. e. speakers ...).Before moving the device, ensure the disc tray

G-LINK CABLE - Adjusting your DTH 8000’s IR (infrared) controller cell
You need to find the correct positioning of the IR controller cell in relation to the front of the
satellite or cable receiver so that your DTH 8000 can transmit the commands as you would do
with the satellite receiver’s remote control.The IR (infrared) controller cell must face the receiver
cell of the satellite receiver.You can locate the receiver cell of the satellite receiver by bringing its
remote control as close as possible to the front of the device and trying to change channels.
Move the remote control one centimetre and try again. When the channel of the satellite receiver
changes, locate the position on the front of the unit.Then install the IR controller cell as shown
on the diagram below,facing the cell of the satellite receiver (1 or 2 cm away). If need be, use the
adhesive supplied to stick the cell in place.
Satellite or cable receiver
Your DTH 8000 is designed to control either a cable or satellite receiver, this enables you to
program the recording of satellite programmes simply by programming your DTH 8000.
In this case, the device must be connected to the AV2 and IR SAT/CABL connections of the DTH 8000.
Connect cables (5) (not supplied) and cable (6) the G-LINK cable (supplied) as shown below.

The connections proposed on page 3 permit the rapid connection of your DTH 8000 and ensure
optimum sound, visual quality (RGB) and standards. Depending on the sockets available on your
other devices or to benefit from the maximum performance of your DTH 8000 you may make
other connections.The DTH 8000 has other sockets for this purpose.
Sockets and cables (inputs)
1 - Audio inputs (INPUT L, R)
The analogue sound of an operating device (television set or amplifier) can be
input via the 2 Audio sockets L and R of your DTH 8000. If you do not use
the recommended connection, i.e. the Peritel (Scart) socket,you must, as well
as the video connections (CVBS or S-VIDEO) connect the outputs Audio L
and R of the operating device to the Audio L and R inputs of your DTH
8000.
Note: the audio sockets and cables are generally identified by a colour code (red for
the left channel and white for the right).
2 – Video in - Composite (CVBS) (COMPOSITE VIDEO INPUT)
The yellow video socket also known as composite video (or CVBS):the
image quality provided by this socket is less than all the other video sockets.
Only use this socket if all the other sockets are already in use.
3 - S-Video input (Y/C) (S-VIDEO IN)
The S-Video signal is of a lesser quality than that of the RGB signal supplied
by the Peritel (Scart) socket.The S-Video signal however gives a better image
quality than the composite video socket (C) since black and white (Y) are
separated from colour in the video signal.
Note: do not forget to connect the audio cables since the S-Video cable transmits
only images, not sound.

Optical and coaxial Out sockets (DIGITAL AUDIO OUT)
The digital sound of a disc being played is permanently available on the optical
and coaxial sockets of your player.Use one of these sockets by connecting it
to a decoder or a DTS or Dolby Digital amplifier. Some of these appliances
are equipped with a coaxial In socket (COAXIAL) or an optical In socket
(OPTICAL), while others are equipped with both sockets. Choose one of the
two connections.
Note: in most cases these two types of connection give similar results; the only
difference lies in the type of cable used and the cost of these cables, the coaxial
cable being the least expensive one to buy. However it sometimes happens that
some coaxial cables are parasitized by high frequency interferences caused by
household electrical appliances, high voltage electric cables or radio transmitters.
5 -
S-Video out socket (Y/C) (S-VIDEO OUT)
The S-Video cable provides a video signal of lower quality than the Peritel
(Scart) socket.An S-Video signal however provides a better quality image than
a composite video socket, because colour (C) is separated from black and
white (Y) in the video signal.
Note: do not forget to also connect the audio cables, because the S-Video cable
transmits images and not sound.
6-
Audio outputs (OUTPUT L, R)
The digital sound output from a disc being read is permanently available at
the two audio sockets, L and R, of your DTH 8000. If you do not use the
recommended Peritel (Scart) connection to the television (paragraph 3 page
3), you must, as well as one of the video connections (CVBS or S-VIDEO)
connect the Audio outputs, L and R,of your DTH 8000 to the Audio inputs, L
and R, of your television set (or amplifier).
Note: audio sockets and cables are usually identified by a colour code (red for the left
channel and white for the right channel).
7 -
Composite Video Out socket (CVBS) (OUTPUT COMPOSITE VIDEO)
The yellow video socket is also called composite video, or CVBS.The
image quality delivered by the video socket is the least good of all video
connections. Only use this socket if all other sockets are already in use.

The USB socket enables you to read and/or copy from a memory card
reader, JPEG images stored through a digital camera or MP3 files from an
MP3 recorder.
Note: recognised players: USB 1.1 MASS STORAGE CLASS.
2 -
S-Video socket
For the connection of a Camcorder or other S-Video device.
Note: do not forget to connect the audio cables since the S-Video socket handles only
images and not sound.
3-
AV sockets (Audio/Video)
The AUDIO-VIDEO sockets facilitate the viewing or copying of your video
sequences from a Camcorder or any other AV device supplying a composite
video signal and analog stereo sound.

Remote control
The remote control handset supplied with your DTH 8000 is a 3 in 1 type remote control. It
allows 3 devices to be controlled: your DTH 8000, a television set and a satellite or cable
receiver.Thus you have remote control of all these devices by using the 3 modes:DVD,TV or
SAT.CABLE that are accessed by 3 corresponding keys.This page describes the keys that control
your DTH 8000 (in DVD mode).
