DV88 3 E nglis h Installation VIDEO OUT SUPPLY VOLTAGE 230V SCART A/V OUT COMPOSITE COMPONENT Y S VIDEO G DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL COAX L AUDIO OUT POWER INLET Pb B Pr R PCM/BITSTREAM R 1 2 Positioning the unit Place the DV88 on a level, firm surface and ensure that there is adequate ventilation for the unit. RGB output RGB output is available on both the SCART and Component/RGB sockets and offers picture quality equal to component video. Use appropriate cables to connect either the SCART connector or RGB phonos to the TV. Note that if you are using RGB output via phono connectors, you will also need to use COMPOSITE as a sync signal. If you are using a SCART connection to your TV, it is best to mute your TV's speakers because SCART also carries stereo audio signals; this prevents audio coming through the TV. AV control: The SCART output has a control signal that switches your TV to its SCART input when the DV88 is turned on. It will also signal to wide screen TVs the correct aspect ratio (16:9 or 4:3), provided these features are supported by the TV. Connecting outputs: Video To view the pictures from the DVD player you need to connect one of its video outputs to a TV, monitor or projector. The DV88 has four video outputs: Component video RGB S-video Composite video. You only need to use one type of video from the list. Choose a type that your TV supports. NOTE: If your TV supports none of these types of video then it's time to purchase a new TV! Note that you may connect equipment such as AV receivers in the signal path between the DVD player and the TV, so long as that equipment supports the correct type of video signal. For instructions on how to connect AV equipment, consult the manual for that equipment. I I I I S-Video The S-Video output (also known as S-VHS or Y/C) is commonly supported by TVs worldwide. Connect the S VIDEO output of the DVD player to the S-Video input of the TV using an appropriate cable. Composite video If your TV only offers a composite input (sometimes labelled CVBS or just `video'), connect this to the COMPOSITE video output of the DVD player using a phono cable suitable for video use. Component video Use three phono cables to connect the Component Y, Pb, Pr outputs of the DVD player to the Y, Pb, Pr inputs of the TV. Ensure that the cables are suitable for video use and that they are approximately the same length. Some component video interfaces are labelled in different ways: see the table below if your TV's component inputs are not labelled `Y, Pb, Pr'. DV88 player Y Pb Pr alternative Y Cb Cr alternative Y (B­Y) (R­Y) alternative Y U V NOTE: The DVD player can only support Component video or RGB video at any one time. This is specified in the setup menu. If you use either of these outputs with an incorrect menu setting, the picture will be coloured in a strange way. Similar effects result from cross connection of the three signals. If you use component video outputs, you must ensure that the SCART socket is not used. Similarly, if the SCART socket is used, disconnect the component video leads. NOTE: Component video DVD players and TVs are not generally available in Europe. DV88 4 Connecting outputs: Digital audio If you have an external surround sound decoder, receiver or D-A converter that you wish to use with the DVD player, then you will need to connect it using either a coax or optical lead. These digital outputs provide 2-channel PCM, Dolby Digital, DTS or MPEG multi-channel audio, depending on the source material. It is also possible to set the digital output to always give out 2-channel PCM (stereo mix-down) using the setup menu. If possible, use the coax connection as this may offer slightly better performance. Connect the coax output of the DVD player to the digital audio coax input of the decoder/D-A converter or receiver using a phono cable designed for digital audio interconnection. Alternatively, connect the optical output of the DVD player to the optical input of the decoder/D-A converter or receiver using a TOSLINK optical lead. E nglis h DV88 5 Connecting outputs: Analogue audio If an external decoder is not available then the DVD player's analogue audio outputs will need to be used. You may also wish to use the analogue outputs when listening to CDs, to take advantage of the DVD player's high quality D-A converters. Two pairs of identical outputs are provided. Connect one of these to your amplifier's input using a suitable pair of interconnect cables. The second set of audio outputs can be used to connect to a second amplifier setup for `multi-room' use or routed to a tape recorder for making recordings. Connecting to a power supply Wrong plug? Check that the plug supplied with the unit fits your supply and that your mains supply voltage agrees with the voltage setting (115V or 230V) indicated on the rear panel of the unit. If your mains supply voltage or mains plug is different, consult your Arcam dealer or Arcam Customer Support on +44 (0)1223 203203. Mains lead The appliance is normally supplied with a moulded mains plug already fitted to the lead. If for any reason the plug needs to be removed, it must be disposed of immediately and securely, as it is a potential shock hazard when inserted into the mains socket. Should you require a new mains lead, contact your Arcam dealer. Plugging in Push the plug (IEC line socket) of the power cable supplied with the unit into the socket (POWER INLET) in the back of the unit. Make sure it is pushed in firmly. Put the plug on the other end of the cable into your power supply socket and switch the socket on.
