INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS
OPTION 3:
Audio and Video Connections through an
A/V Receiver or Surround Processor only
If your home entertainment system has other
audio/video input sources in addition to the
DVD 5, such as a VCR, cable set-top box or
satellite receiver, LD player, personal video
recorder or HDTV tuner, the most efficient way
to manage the various components is to make
all audio/video connections through an A/V
receiver or surround processor. This simplifies
the selection of an input source, and allows
many different components to be connected to
the same video display and speakers.
Note that steps
/
/
and
are not
used. This installation starts with step
Connect the AC power cord to an AC
outlet.
Connect either the
Optical Digital
Output
¡
or the
Coaxial Digital Output
™
on the DVD 5 to the matching digital input
jacks on your A/V receiver or surround proces-
sor. Note that only one of these connections is
required, not both.
Connect the left/right
Analog Audio
Outputs
£
of the DVD 5 to the matching
left/right analog inputs on your A/V receiver or
surround processor.
Connect the
Composite Video Output
¢
on the DVD 5 to a video input on your
receiver or processor. Note that composite video
connections typically have a yellow center ring
for easy identification.
Connect the
S-Video output
∞
on the
DVD 5 to an S-Video input on your receiver or
processor.
If your television or projector is equipped
with component video inputs, connect the three
Component Video Outputs
§
on the
DVD 5 to the matching component video inputs
on your video display. However, if your receiver
or processor has multiple component input
switching capability, connect the
Component
Video Output Jacks
∞
on the DVD 5 to the
matching component video inputs on your
receiver, surround processor or video processor.
Installation Notes and Hints
■
For this installation, make the connections
from the receiver or processor to your video
display and speakers as described in the
owner’s manuals for those products.
■
Only one type of audio connection is
required, either digital or analog. If possible,
a digital connection is preferred as that will
enable you to listen to DVD soundtracks
with the clarity, definition and channel sepa-
ration made possible by Dolby Digital and
DTS. Follow Step
for digital audio con-
nections. However, if you do not yet have a
receiver capable of digital audio processing,
you will still benefit from an analog connec-
tion so that the receiver may create a multi-
channel soundfield using Dolby ProLogic or
other matrix decoding. Follow Step
for
instructions on analog audio connections.
■
If your television has both standard compos-
ite video and S-Video inputs, you only need
to use one of the two connections. Where
possible, we recommend an S-Video connec-
tion due to the higher picture quality.
■
Do not connect any of the video outputs of
the DVD 5 through a VCR. The use of
Macrovision encoding on most DVD discs
means that most discs will have a distorted
picture when connections are made through
a VCR.
■
Note that the volume level for DVD playback
may different from the level for other input
sources to your receiver. This is normal and
does not indicate a problem with the DVD 5
or your receiver. Simply use the volume con-
trol on the receiver to set the desired level.
■
Depending on the product and brand, a
number of different descriptions are used to
label component video connections. You may
see them as Y/Pr/Pb, Y/Cr/Cb or Y/R-Y/B-Y.
For the purposes of connecting a DVD play-
er, all of these labels are normally identical.
The best guide is to connect the component
video connections using the green/red/blue
color coding of the inner rings of the con-
nection jacks.
■
When making connections to a high defini-
tion (HDTV) or “digital ready” set, do not
connect the component video outputs of the
DVD 5 to inputs labeled “HD Component
Inputs” unless you have checked with the
set’s owner’s manual to ensure that the HD
input is also compatible with standard scan
(NTSC) video.
