Careful installation will help ensure that their full potential is achieved. This manual covers the DVD5 DVD player and the AV2 Audio Processor. It begins with general installation notes and statutory safety warnings for all Naim Audio products. Product specific information begins in Section 5. 1 Equipment Installation Normally your Naim Audio equipment will have been installed by the dealer who sold it to you - even if you live outside their immediate vicinity. In any event however your dealer is responsible for making sure that the system performs as it should. Information given here is not intended to reduce this responsibility in any way. 2 Connections It is important for both safety and performance that the standard cables supplied are not modified. 3.1 Mains Plug Wiring In some territories a mains plug may need to be fitted to the supplied mains lead. As the colours of the wires in the mains lead may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in the plug proceed as follows: The wire which is coloured GREEN-AND-YELLOW must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked by the letter E or by the safety earth symbol or coloured GREEN or GREEN and YELLOW. The wire which is coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter N or coloured BLACK. The wire which is coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter L or coloured RED. 2.1 Interconnect Cables If options are available with your equipment and installation, DIN interconnect sockets should be used in preference to RCA Phono sockets. One end of each Naim interconnect cable is marked with a band to establish its correct orientation. The band denotes the end that connects to the signal source. Interconnect plugs and sockets should be kept clean and free from corrosion. The easiest way to clean them is to switch off the equipment, pull the plugs out of their sockets, and push them back in again. Contact cleaners and "enhancers" should not be used as the film they tend to deposit may degrade the sound. 2.2 Loudspeaker Cables Loudspeaker cables are vitally important and your dealer should make them up to suit your installation. The cables should each be at least 3.5 metres long and of equal length. The recommended maximum is normally 20 metres although longer cables may be viable with some Naim amplifiers. Contact your dealer or Naim Audio for advice. Many Naim amplifiers are designed only to work with Naim loudspeaker cable and using alternatives may degrade the performance or even damage the amplifier. Naim loudspeaker cable is directional and should be oriented so that the printed arrow points towards the speakers. The amplifier/loudspeaker connectors supplied are designed to make a robust electromechanical connection and to comply with European safety regulations. They should be used in preference to alternatives. 3.2 Non-rewirable Mains Plugs If a non-rewirable plug is cut from a mains lead (for whatever purpose) the plug MUST be disposed of in a way to render it totally useless. Considerable shock hazard exists if the cut-off plug is inserted into a mains outlet. 3.3 Mains Circuits and Cables A hi-fi system usually shares a mains circuit with other household equipment some of which can cause distortion of the mains waveform. This distortion can in turn lead to a mechanical hum from power amplifier and power supply transformers. Naim transformers are large in size with heavy gauge windings, making them relatively sensitive to such distortion, and it may be necessary to take account of transformer hum when siting your equipment. Transformer hum is not transmitted through the speakers and has no effect on the performance of the system; however, a separate mains circuit may reduce it. Such a circuit (ideally with a 30 or 45 Amp rating) will also improve system performance. Advice on the installation of a separate mains circuit should be sought from a qualified electrician. Do not substitute alternative mains leads and plugs to those supplied. They are selected to offer the best possible performance. 3 Mains Power Connection Where fused plugs are used 13 amp fuses should be fitted. Fuses of a lower rating will fail after a period of use. Do not wire voltage dependent resistors or noise suppressors into mains plugs. They degrade the mains supply and the sound. 1 Introduction 4 General Installation Naim equipment is designed to offer the finest performance possible avoiding compromise wherever practical. This can lead to circumstances that may be unfamiliar. The notes that follow contain advice specifically related to Naim equipment as well as more general warnings about the use of domestic audio products. Please read them carefully. 4.5 Non-standard Cables Use of non-standard speaker cables or interconnects may invalidate your guarantee. 4.6 Lightning Precautions Your Naim hi-fi system can be damaged by lightning. Power amplifiers are particularly at risk and should be turned off and disconnected from the mains when there is risk of lightning strike. For complete protection all mains plugs and any aerial cables should be disconnected when not in use. 4.1 Siting The Equipment In order to reduce the risk of hum audible from the loudspeakers, power supplies and power amplifiers should be located a reasonable distance away from other equipment. The maximum separation distance for connected equipment is that allowed by the standard interconnect lead. Some Naim equipment is extremely heavy. Ensure that your equipment rack or table can easily support the weight and is stable. 4.7 Liquid Precautions Equipment must not be exposed to dripping or splashing and no objects filled with liquid, such as vases, should be placed on the equipment. 4.8 Equipment Fuses Mains powered Naim Audio equipment is fitted with a mains input fuse on the rear panel adjacent to the mains input socket. Replace it if necessary only with the spare fuse supplied or with identical fuses. Repeated failure of this fuse points to an equipment or system fault that should be investigated by your dealer or at the factory by Naim itself. 4.2 Switching On Source components and power supplies should be switched on before the power amplifiers. Always switch amplifiers off and wait a minute before connecting or disconnecting any leads. Always use the power switch on the product rather than a mains outlet switch. A "thump" may be heard from the loudspeakers as power amplifiers are switched on. This is normal, will not cause any loudspeaker damage and does not point to any fault or problem. A mild "pop" may also be heard shortly after power amplifiers are switched off. 4.9 Problems? Consumer protection varies from country to country. In most territories a dealer must be prepared to take back any equipment he has sold if it cannot be made to work satisfactorily. A problem may be due to a fault in the system or its installation so it is essential to make full use of your dealer's diagnostic skills. Please contact your local distributor, or Naim Audio directly, if any difficulties cannot be resolved. Some Naim equipment is made in special versions for different territories and this makes it impracticable to arrange international guarantees. Please establish the local guarantee arrangements with your dealer. Contact Naim Audio directly for help and advice if necessary. 4.3 Running In Naim equipment takes a considerable time to run in before it performs at its best. The duration varies, but under some conditions the sound may continue to improve for over a month. Better and more consistent performance will be achieved if the system is left switched on for long periods. It is worth remembering however that equipment left connected to the mains can be damaged by lightning. 4.10 Repairs and Updates It is essential that repairs and updates are only carried out by an authorised Naim dealer or at the factory by Naim itself. Many components are custom made, tested or matched and appropriate replacements are often unobtainable from other sources. Direct contact to Naim for service or update information should be made initially through the Service Department: Tel: Email: +44 (0)1722 332266 service@naim-uk.com 4.4 Radio Interference In some circumstances, depending on where you live and the earthing arrangements in your home, you may experience radio frequency interference. Controls on broadcasting in some territories allow very high levels of radio frequency radiation and both the choice and exact siting of equipment may be critical. Susceptibility to radio frequency interference is related to the wide internal bandwidth necessary for high sound quality. Systems incorporating moving coil phono preamplifiers and active crossovers are more likely to suffer. A radio frequency filter kit is available for some Naim equipment but sound quality will be progressively compromised as more elements of the kit are fitted. In situations of extreme radio interference Naim equipment may be unsuitable. Please quote the product serial number (found on its rear panel) in all correspondence. 2 DVD5 and AV2 5 Product Introduction This manual covers installation and operation of the DVD5 DVD player and the AV2 audio processor. Both products are fundamentally straightforward in use, however their versatility and comprehensive functionality mean that a little time spent reading will help ensure problem-free use. The DVD5 section of the manual covers use of the player as a stand-alone product as well as when connected to and integrated with an AV2. This section also covers the DVD5 Multi-channel Card audio upgrade (McC) option. The AV2 section of the manual covers use of the processor as a stand-alone product. The AV2 feature-set and operation described in this manual refers to units incorporating software release Version 01-04 or later. Contact Naim Audio directly or your local representative for information on software identification and updates. Both the DVD5 and AV2 should be installed on dedicated equipment stands intended for the purpose. Care should be taken to ensure that they are level. Do not switch on until all input and output connections are made. Following this introduction, the manual is divided into the following sections.

With the addition of the Multi-channel Card upgrade DVD-A multi-channel is also supported. Note: The large variety of disc manufacturing processes and formats now available means that on rare occasions a disc falling into the one of the above categories may still not play correctly. You should return the disc to the retailer if this occurs. DVD region coding is sales territory dependent and is specified on the rear panel of the player. 7 DVD5 Setup Once connected to a display and audio system the DVD5 must be set up appropriately before use. The player will switch on initially in standby mode with a flashing display indicator. When the indicator stops flashing the player is ready for use. A single press on the front panel or handset play or stop buttons, or on the handset standby or open keys will wake the player. To switch the player into standby mode, press and hold the front panel play and stop buttons, or press the handset standby key. Note: Standby mode reduces power consumption when the player is not in use. 6.2 Video Outputs The DVD5 can provide video outputs in a number of different formats on a variety of connection sockets. Each format and socket is appropriate for alternative display types - TV, CRT Monitor, TFT Monitor, Plasma, Projector, etc - and it is important for the best picture quality that the appropriate socket is used. Table 6.4 below lists, in order of preference, connection formats for any display device. Select, from the connection options available on your display, the one nearest the top of the list. 7.1 Initial Video Options As the display on the player itself provides only minimal information during set up, the video display should be switched on and the appropriate channel selected so that the playergenerated On Screen Display is available. Two initial set up options may however need to be adjusted before the display will operate correctly. These options select between NTSC or PAL, and between Video Colour Format options. The default state for the NTSC/PAL option is auto. The Video Colour Format options only apply to the player's BNC output sockets, the options being RGB, RGBHV, YPbPr and YPHV (YPbPrHV). The default state is YPbPr. To change the NTSC/ PAL and Video Colour Format settings proceed as follows below. 6.3 Audio Outputs The DVD5 provides digital audio output via both coaxial and optical connectors. There are two coaxial and two optical connectors on the DVD5 rear panel. Each carries the same signal. Digital audio should be connected to either the coaxial or optical input of an appropriate AV processor. The coaxial option is likely to give better results. Stereo analogue audio output is available on both DIN and RCA-Phono sockets. Multi-channel audio, available when the Multi-channel Card is fitted is delivered via a pair of five pin DIN sockets. Note: The analogue audio signal available from the SCART interface is not of optimum quality and is only suitable for uncritical monitoring, setup or diagnostic use. 7.1.1 NTSC or PAL Video Selection With the player stopped (or no disc is loaded) switch between NTSC, PAL and auto video output by pressing and holding the front panel next button. While the current selection is displayed, further presses of the next button will select the alternatives. The display reverts to normal automatically if no further changes are made. Note: NTSC/PAL selection is only likely to require a specific choice (i.e not auto) if your display is not capable of displaying both formats.

While the current selection is displayed, further presses of the prev button will select the alternatives. The display reverts to normal automatically if no further changes are made. A naim logo visible in the centre of the display screen will confirm that the initial video options are set correctly. Note: Section 14 of this manual carries an explanation of the video formats listed. Note: RGB and RGBHV progressive scan output is disabled when replaying Macrovision encoded material. 4 DVD5 7.2 On Screen Display and Interface Once the initial video options are set, the remaining DVD5 setup options must be set from the remote handset using the On Screen Display. To begin the setup procedure insert a DVD and, after waiting for the player to read the disc contents, press the remote handset setup key. The top level setup menu will be displayed with the upper left option selected. To navigate through the top level and second level menus use the handset up (5) and down (6) keys. To confirm a selection press the ok key. To return to the previous menu without making a selection or a change use the rtn (return) key, or press setup to exit from the setup menus. To navigate through the third level menu use the handset left (3) and right (4) keys. To increase or decrease a parameter value use the up (5) and down (6) keys respectively. To return to the previous menu without making a selection or a change use the rtn (return) key, or press setup to exit from the setup menus. The top level setup menu provides access to DVD Playback, System Setup, Video Setup, High Definition Video Setup, Audio Setup and Parental Control options. Note: The handset clear key can be used at any time to clear any on screen information. 7.3.4 DVD Auto-play Sets the player to begin playback as soon as the drawer is closed. Select from on or off. 7.3.5 Subtitle Preference Selects the preferred subtitle language. When subtitles are switched on from either the handset subt button or from the DVD5 menu the subtitle preference language will be shown if `preference' is selected. If the preferred language is not available the disc default will be shown. Note: Non-standard production techniques of some DVDs may inhibit this function. 7.3.6 Audio Language Preference Selects the disc-independent Audio Language Preference. Auto will select the disc default. If a disc is loaded that does not carry the selected preference the audio output will switch to the disc default. The audio track preference will automatically play if a preference is set and available. Note: Non-standard production techniques of some DVDs may inhibit this function. 7.3.7 Audio Format Preference Selects the disc-independent Audio Format Preference. Auto will select the disc default. If a disc is loaded that does not carry the selected preference the audio output will switch to the disc default. The audio track preference will automatically play if a preference is set and available. Note: Non-standard production techniques of some DVDs may inhibit this function. 7.3 Playback Setup Selection of DVD Playback from the top level menu generates a second level menu comprising the options listed below. The availability of some options in the second level menu is dependent on the content of the DVD. 7.3.1 Audio Track Enables the selection of alternative DVD audio tracks if any are present on the disc. The alternatives may include sound-track languages and audio encoding format (Dolby*, DTS, etc). If no alternative is available no options will be displayed. The disc must be playing for audio track selection to be available. Note: Audio tracks can also be directly selected during playback by pressing the handset audio key. 7.4 System Setup Selection of System Setup from the top level menu generates a second level menu comprising the options listed below. 7.4.1 Auto Status Bar Sets the Status Bar to become visible on screen when player adjustments are made. The Status Bar provides visual feedback of control commands. 7.3.2 Camera Angle Enables the selection of alternative camera angles if any are present on the disc. If no alternative is available no options will be displayed. The disc must be playing for camera angle options to be available. Note: Camera angles can also be directly selected during playback by pressing the handset angle key. 7.4.2 Status Bar Display Time Sets the length of time, from one to ten seconds, that the Status Bar remains visible following a control command. 7.4.3 Screen Saver Sets a Screen Saver to operate after five minutes of display inactivity. Select fron on and off. Note: Only disable the Screen Saver if the display is not sensitive to "burn-in". 7.3.3 Subtitles Enables the display and selection of alternative DVD subtitles if any are present on the disc. If no alternative is available no options will be displayed. The disc must be playing for subtitle options to be available. Note: Subtitles can also be directly selected during playback by pressing the handset subt key. * Dolby is a trademark of Dolby Laboratories 5 DVD5 7.5 Video Setup Selection of Video Setup from the top level menu generates a second level menu comprising the options listed below. Overscan Test Pattern Adjust the display's horizontal, vertical, aspect ratio and zoom controls until the test pattern is central and spills over the edge of the display by approximately 5%. On a wide-screen display the circle labelled 16:9 should appear undistorted. Grey Scale Test Pattern Adjust the display's brightness until the 0% box looks black. Adjust the display's contrast until the 100% box is a clear brightundistorted white. Ensure no two of 5% boxes appear the same. 75% Colour Scale Test Pattern The display must be viewed using a 47b blue separation filter. Adjust the display's colour and tint/hue control until the four large boxes (1, 2, 3 and 4) appear the same shade of blue. 7.5.1 Output Format Selects between NTSC, PAL and auto (disc dependent) video output. This menu overrides the initial video set up option selected in Section 7.1.1. The selection of NTSC, PAL or auto depends on the capability of the display device connected and the choice between Interlaced and Progressive Scan video. Many displays are limited either to PAL or NTSC for Interlaced video and if this is the case for your display the appropriate option should be selected. Similarly, many displays do not support PAL for Progressive Scan video so selection of the NTSC option may well be necessary when using Progressive Scan - even if PAL is used for Interlaced video. The DVD5 will convert PAL encoded programme material to NTSC if NTSC is selected, or convert NTSC to PAL if PAL is selected display quality may however suffer. If your display supports both NTSC and PAL the auto option should be used. Auto switches the DVD output to NTSC or PAL depending on the disc format. The combination of a multistandard display and the auto option ensures the highest video quality as no format conversion need take place. 7.5.5 Lip Sync (Audio/Video delay) DVD video and audio can sometimes appear to be a little out of synchronisation. Lip Sync provides adjustment in 10mS steps to compensate for any apparent error. Use the handset left (3) key to delay the audio and right (4) key to delay the video. 7.5.6 Display Aspect Ratio Sets the player to output video appropriate to the display. For 16:9 (widescreen) displays, non-widescreen programme material will be accommodated by leaving a proportion of the display either side of the picture unused. Widescreen material on 4:3 (conventional) displays can be accommodated by selecting either the pan-scan or letter box options. The pan-scan option uses the full height of the display but dynamically pans the material to ensure that the important information is always displayed. The letter box option displays the material's full width but leaves a proportion of the display above and below the picture unused. 7.5.2 Black Level Black level adjustment is available when NTSC output is selected. Black Level defines the brightness level at which image information will be displayed as black. A video brightness signal is measured in IRE units on a scale from 0 (black) to 100 (white). In American NTSC encoding the value of 7.5 IRE is the "black level cutoff". Note: Black level adjustment only affects NTSC material. 7.5.7 Video Outputs Off Enables unused video sockets to be selectively switched off during playback. Switching off the video sockets will improve sound quality of audio CD and DVD-A material. Note: All video outputs will operate when player is in stop mode or when the OSD menu is displayed. 7.5.3 SCART Settings The player's SCART output connector carries video signals in both composite and component forms with two alternate varieties of the component format - RGB or YPbPr - available. If using component video from the SCART connector, select the variety appropriate to the display connected. Note: Composite and component video and the various signal formats are explained in Section 14 of this manual. 7.6 High Definition Video Setup Selection of High Definition Video Setup from the top level menu generates a second level menu comprising the options listed below. The High Definition Output menus enable selection of the signal format to be output from the player's BNC sockets. Generally, the signals available from the BNC sockets provide improved quality over the SCART and S-Video outputs through improved digital to analogue conversion and extra image adjustment functions. 7.5.4 Test Patterns Provides three display Test Patterns intended to help calibrate the player and display combination and ensure optimum performance. The Test Patterns are primarily intended for advanced users or video service engineers. Make a note of all display and DVD5 settings prior to making any adjustments, and ensure the display user manual is available for reference. Note: It is not always necessary to make calibration adjustments based on the test patterns. The DVD5 and display default settings will in the majority of cases provide excellent results. Note: Help text for each test pattern is available by pressing the handset menu key. Note: The player must be in stop mode to display the test patterns. 6 7.6.1 Colour Format The Colour Format sub-menu enables selection of the video signal Colour Format (RGB, YPbPr, etc). The options available will depend on the selection made in the previous menu. Note: The various video colour formats are explained in Section 14 of this manual. DVD5 7.6.2 Motion Compensation Motion Compensation is a function of progressive scan video processing that overcomes the visible artifacts that can result when interlaced video data (see Section 14) is de-interlaced for conversion to progressive scan. If a video scene contains elements in motion, the two fields of an interlaced image cannot simply be combined for progressive scan as the time delay between the fields will result in visible distortion of the moving image - it will appear jagged. Motion Compensation overcomes the distortion by dynamically interpolating between differences in the fields of data. If there is no movement in a scene however, the interpolation may result in a loss of image sharpness. The Motion Compensation menu provides three options - none, adaptive and full. Selecting none disables Motion Compensation, selecting adaptive applies Motion Compensation dynamically depending on the intensity of movement in the scene, and selecting full applies Motion Compensation to all programme material. Adaptive should be selected for the majority of programme material. Full or none may be appropriate to material featuring intense motion, or still images respectively. The picture adjustments common to High Definition outputs are Vertical Offset, Horizontal Offset and YC Delay. The Offset adjustments enable the picture to be properly centred in the display screen. YC Delay adjustment provides compensation for the timing errors that can occur between the colour and brightness elements of a video signal. Errors are most likely to be visible if the player is required to carry out intensive processing to generate a display signal. YC Delay is best left at its default adjustment unless picture abnormalities that cannot be corrected by any other means are apparent. Note: Offset and YC Delay adjustment made from this menu will also be reflected in the player's DVI output. Note: No picture adjustment is available on the player's SCART and S-Video outputs. 7.7 Audio/AV2 Setup Selection of Audio Setup from the top level menu generates a second level menu comprising the options listed below. The availability of options in the second level menu depends on either the installation of a Multi-channel Card (McC) or DVD5 connection to an AV2 Processor. Note: When a DVD5 is connected to an AV2, adjustment of Audio Setup parameters actually adjusts AV2 functions. The AV2 front panel or handset setup interface is disabled while the DVD5 on screen setup menus are displayed. If the AV2 front panel or handset interface is subsequently used to adjust any Audio Setup parameters the DVD5 menu will update automatically. Note: Th AV2 must be running software version 01-04 or later. Note: Use a CAT5 interface cable to connect a DVD5 to an AV2. See diagram 11.2. 7.6.3 Film Mode Film Mode enables the player to optimise the display of programme material that has been converted from film to video (DVD) format. Film Mode should be selected for programme material that is known to be derived from a cine-film original. Leaving Film Mode selected for original video material may still result in satisfactory display, however, it should be de-selected for this type of material if motion or sync problems occur. 7.6.4 30 fps (frames per second) Detection 30 FPS Detection supports Film Mode in identifying specific NTSC/PAL film to video conversion issues. Generally, detection should be selected for NTSC cine-film derived and all PAL format material, and de-selected for NTSC format video derived material. The default setting is on. 7.7.1 Digital Audio Output Selects the player's Digital Audio Output format from Multichannel (i.e Dolby Digital, DTS, etc) or Stereo (PCM stereo) options. Multi-channel output will be either the previously selected audio track, the player preference or the specific disc default. PCM stereo output is a down-mix of the currently selected audio track. Note: The player must be in stop mode to select audio outputs. 7.6.5 Edit Compensation The techniques employed by Film Mode and 30 FPS Detection can sometimes be disturbed by poorly resolved edits in programme material. Edit Compensation identifies edits likely to cause problems and trades ultimate picture quality against motion or sync errors. Low should be selected for most programme material unless motion or sync errors are unacceptable. Increasing Edit Compensation will result in smoother display but reduced picture quality. 7.7.2 Sub-woofer Cut-off Frequency Note: Function only available with AV2 connected. Sub-woofer Cut-off Frequency provides adjustment of the cut-off frequency between the sub-woofer and any small loudspeakers. It should be adjusted to suit the sub-woofer and speakers in use. Their specifications should provide guidance. 7.6.6 Picture Adjustment Three separate Picture Adjustment sub-menus are available. One that provides adjustment of the player's High Definition RGB output, one that provides adjustment of the player's High Definition YPbPr (YUV) output and one that is common to both. Each signal channel of the RGB outputs can be independently adjusted. For example, to emphasise red, green or blue tones in an RGB picture boost the R, G or B channels respectively. YPbPr adjustment covers luminance and saturation only. 7.7.3 Bass Mix Note: Function only available with McC installed or AV2 connected. Selection of Bass Mix routes the front left and right speaker low frequency signals additionally to the sub-woofer channel. 7 DVD5 7.7.4 Pro Logic II Options Note: Function only available with AV2 connected. Selection of Pro Logic II Options provides adjustment of the Panorama, Centre Width and Dimension parameters. Panorama "ON" diverts a proportion of the front stereo signal to the surround channels. Centre Width adjustment varies the relative strength of the centre and front channels, a higher value increasing the strength of the front channels. Dimension adjustment varies the relative strength of the surround and front signals, a higher value increasing the strength of the surround channels. Note: Pro Logic II Options are only available when Pro Logic II Music Mode is selected. 7.8.1 Speaker Size Note: Function only available with McC installed or AV2 connected. Selection of Speaker Size enables the size of each speaker to be defined. Generally a "small" speaker is an element of a matched satellite/sub-woofer package, while a "large" speaker is a stand-alone full-range type. The "small" left/right option is unavailable if no sub-woofer is present, and the "extra surround" option is unavailable if no surround speakers are present. 7.8.2 Distance Units Note: Function only available with McC installed or AV2 connected. Selection of Distance Units enables the preferred distance measurement units (feet or metres) for the Speaker Distance menu to be set. 7.7.5 Neo:6 Centre Gain Note: Function only available with AV2 connected. Selection of Neo:6 Centre Gain provides independent adjustment of the centre channel volume level. Note: Neo:6 Centre Gain is only available when DTS Neo:6 Music Mode is selected. 7.8.3 Speaker Distance Note: Function only available with McC installed or AV2 connected.

There was only one way of connecting a VCR to a TV - via the aerial cable. However the growth in domestic high quality video, along with the introduction of widescreen and non-CRT displays has meant that video interface issues, once of concern only to professionals, have become significant in domestic systems. The following few paragraphs provide an explanation of some of the issues and technologies that impinge on the DVD5, its installation and operation. wire simplicity and convenience, but the necessary downstream decoding produces unavoidable and visible artifacts. Composite video thus offers the lowest display quality of the options available and should be used if there is really no other option. Very few contemporary displays or TVs will offer a composite video input only . 14.2.2 S-Video (4 Pin mini-DIN, analogue) The S-Video format offers the next higher quality video connection. S-Video is a two channel based connection with the colour and brightness information separated, and the timing signal combined with the brightness signal. The separation of colour and brightness reduces the need for downstream processing to decode the signals and results in potentially a sharper image. 14.1 Video Display - Interlaced and Progressive Scan Video is nothing more than a series of still pictures displayed sequentially at such a rate that the brain perceives continuous motion. A video signal comprises elements that describe the colour and brightness of each individual display pixel and an element that describes the necessary timing information required to create an image. Each picture is "drawn", pixel by pixel and line by line, across and down the screen - again at a rate such that the brain does not distinguish the segmented nature of the information. In conventional "interlaced" video, each still picture is drawn half a screen at a time in two sections (or scans) constructed from sets of alternate lines. This technique is used to reduce the amount of information required for each frame. In "progressive scan" video, rather than being constructed from two sections, pictures are constructed in a single top to bottom scan. The result is a significantly sharper, more detailed and more stable image. 14.2.3 YPbPr and RGB (SCART, analogue) In addition to carrying a composite video signal the SCART interface also carries a set of "RGB" or "YPbPr" video signals selectable via the video setup menu. RGB denotes the fundamental Red, Green and Blue components that define a colour image. A timing signal is combined with the Green signal. YPbPr is mathematically derived from RGB and denotes brightness (Y) and two colour difference signals (Pb & Pr). The video timing signal for the YPbPr format is combined with the brightness signal. YPbPr carries the same information as RGB but does so with reduced bandwidth demands. Both RGB and YPbPr offer a further potential quality increase over S-Video by again reducing the demands on downstream decoding. It is marginally preferable to use RGB over YPbPr. 14.2.4 High Definition Progressive Scan YPbPr (3 x BNC, analogue) The first connection interface from which a Progressive Scan signal is available. YPbPr Progressive Scan can be selected for the BNC interface via the video setup menu. 14.2 Video Interface Formats Table 6.4 (page 4) of this manual lists the video interface formats supported by the DVD5 in order of preference defined by the display quality potential of each. There are fundamental technical reasons why alternative formats can provide different levels of display quality and an explanation of these provides a useful introduction to the techniques and technologies of video. The formats are described, in reverse quality order, over the following paragraphs. 14.2.5 High Definition Progressive Scan YPbPrHV (5x BNC, analogue) A second YPbPr/BNC interface provides the highest potential video quality YPbPr signal. YPbPr HV is a five channel interface with separate horizontal and vertical timing signals again selectable via the video setup menu. Connecting to a display with each signal element carried separately reduces the necessity for downstream signal processing and potentially provides another step up in video quality. 14.2.1 Interlaced Composite Video (SCART, analogue) The SCART (Syndicat des Constructeurs d'Appareils Radiorécepteurs et Téléviseurs) connector first became familiar on the introduction of high quality domestic video recorders. These recorders were able to generate both "composite" and "component" video signals and both, along with stereo analogue audio, are carried by the SCART. Component video generally describes those formats that carry the various elements of the signal on separate cables - sometimes known as channels. Composite video is a signal that encodes the three elements of a moving image - colour, brightness and timing - in a single signal carried by a single cable. Two different encoding formats are common - NTSC generally in America and the Far East, and PAL in Europe. Encoding the signal brings the advantages of single14 14.2.6 High Definition Progressive Scan RGB (3x BNC, analogue) A Progressive Scan RGB signal is also selectable via the video setup OSD menu and available from the same three BNC connectors described in paragraph 14.2.4. RGB is the native video format of most displays and potentially provides better quality than YPbPr thanks to reduced demands for downstream signal processing. As with the SCART RGB interface, the video timing signal is combined with Green signal. Note: RGB progressive scan output is disabled when replaying Macrovision encoded material. 14.2.7 High Definition Progressive Scan RGBHV (5 x BNC, analogue) A second RGB/BNC interface provides the highest potential video quality from an analogue signal. RGBHV is a five channel interface with separate horizontal and vertical timing signals again selectable via the video setup menu. Connecting to a display with each signal element carried separately reduces to a minimum the necessity for downstream signal processing and potentially provides another step up in video quality. RGBHV is also compatible with "VGA" style monitors. Note: RGB progressive scan output is disabled when replaying Macrovision encoded material. 14.2.8 Progressive Scan DVI (DVI multi-pin, Digital) The DVI interface provides the greatest potential video quality. DVI is a direct digital connection for digital displays (LCD, Plasma etc) and analogue displays with internal digital to analogue converters. With DVI and a digital display, no downstream decoding or signal conversion is required so the display quality potentially matches that inherent in the source material. The DVI output is HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) encrypted and only compatible with HDCP capable displays (the majority of computer DVI displays are not HDCP capable). HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) compatible displays can be used with the DVD5 via an adaptor cable. 15 AV2 15 AV2 Basics and Quick Setup Installation of the AV2 requires two setup routines to be carried out - input setup and speaker setup. These routines configure the AV2 for the source equipment and loudspeakers it is to be used with and specify some signal decoding options. Some parameters depend on the state in which the AV2 was last switched off so setup may be simplified if the AV2 is returned to its setup defaults. See Section 21 for notes on restoring setup defaults. 15.1 Switching On and Off To wake AV2 from standby (power switch on). Handset: Press standby. Front panel: Press and hold input or mode.

Or mode 17 AV2 16 AV2 Inputs and Interfaces The AV2 has a total of ten audio inputs: six stereo analogue and four digital. The analogue inputs are connected through a combination of DIN and phono sockets while two digital inputs are connected through optical "TosLink" sockets and two through coaxial phono sockets. A remote control RC5 input is also fitted to enable remote control handset commands to be relayed to the AV2. This feature provides enhanced multi-room or concealed installation flexibility. The RC5 input is selected during the Input Setup routine described in Section 18. Your dealer or local Naim Audio representative will be able to offer advice on its use. Analogue input sockets ONE and TWO are "versatile" sockets that can be combined to enable the connection of source components that already offer multi-channel outputs - DVD Audio and Super Audio CD for example. When operating in combined mode, eight or six input channels (available on the two DIN sockets) are routed internally direct to the output volume control, bypassing the internal signal decoding. Eight or six channel combined mode is selected during the Input Setup routine described in Section 18. The input THREE socket also carries a stereo audio output signal. If the AV2 is to be integrated into a conventional stereo audio system this input/output socket should be connected either to the system's "tape monitor circuit" or in the case of a Naim system to the appropriate preamplifier or power amplifier input socket. Note: Integration of the AV2 with a conventional stereo audio system may require a non-standard "reversed" connection cable. An appropriate cable, identified by its yellow band, is included in the AV2 document pack. Each input socket and its appropriate connection is detailed in Table 16.1. See the illustration in Section 22 for socket and pin identification. 17 AV2 Outputs and Interfaces The AV2 is fitted with line-level signal output sockets for front left and right, centre, surround left and right, extra rear left and right and sub-woofer channels. The front, centre, surround and extra rear outputs are connected through 4-pin DIN sockets and each of these should be routed to appropriate Naim power amplifiers. The sub-woofer output is connected through a single phono socket and should be connected to either an active sub-woofer or a mono power amplifier driving a passive sub-woofer. An alternative sub-woofer output is available on the centre output socket. The AV2 is also fitted with both analogue and digital audio outputs. These outputs duplicate the selected input signal in either the analogue or digital domain. No signal will be present on the analogue output if a digital input is selected and similarly no signal will be present on the digital output if an analogue input is selected. The analogue outputs can be used to restore the amplifier tape monitor outputs if these have been used as a signal source for the AV2. An interface connector fitted to the AV2 enables integration with Naim DVD players. The interface is connected via a "telecoms" style socket.On-screen display (OSD) of AV2 operational and setup commands will be available if a DVD player is connected. The interface socket should not be used for any other application. Inappropriate use may cause damage to the AV2 or other equipment to which the socket is connected. The multi-room interface socket is a 9-pin RS232 type connector. Multi-room interface functions of the AV2 will depend upon the capabilities of the multiroom system and controller in use. Your local Naim Audio representative will be able to offer advice on multi-room features. Each output socket and its appropriate connection is detailed in table 16.1. See the illustration in Section 22 for socket and pin identification.
