SRS Labs DVD-1 Instructions For Use Manual - Connections
CONNECTIONS
VIDEO CONNECTIONS
Your DVD needs to be connected to to a
TV, projector system or monitor. This is
done by using one of the 3 different types
of video connection at the back of the
DVD-1:-
Composite video connector
‘S’ Video connector
SCART connector
The SCART connector is the easiest way of
getting started quickly if your TV has one.
Connection using this method connects
both video and analogue audio using just
this cable.
Composite video connector
Use composite video output with a phono
cable suitable for use with video signals.
(your dealer will be able to advise on dif-
ferent cables)
‘S’ video connector
‘S’ video is generally considered to provide
a better quality video picture. If your TV
supports ‘S’ video it recommended that the
‘S’video connection is used on the back of
the DVD-1. You will need an ‘S’ Video
lead to use this type of connection. (‘S’
video is also know as Y/C or S-VHS)
SCART connector
The SCART connector provides an easy
method of connecting audio and video all
in one cable. The cable is commonly
called a SCART lead. The SCART con-
nector on the back of the DVD-1 utilises
composite video.
The SCART output from the DVD-1 also
has a signal called AV control. When the
DVD-1 is turned on the control signal
automatically selects the SCART input on
the TV.
AUDIO CONNECTION
Your DVD player needs to be connected to
a device to play back the sound. This can
ether be the TV system, a preamplifer and
power amplifier or a digital to analogue
converter and then a preamp and power
amp.
Digital audio outputs
To use either the optical or the coaxial digi-
tal output you will require a D to A con-
verter. This ideally would be the Musical
Fidelity HTP (Home Theatre Processor).
The DVD-1’s digital outputs will provide
normal 2 channel PCM, Dolby Digital or
DTS digitally encoded bitstreams. On
some DVD discs the required type of digi-
tal output has to be selected using the
disc’s menu system.
Also ensure that the DVD-1 set-up has the
digital output enabled. (see page 13 for the
DVD-1 set-up options)
If both coaxial and optical connections are
available, Musical Fidelity recommend
using the coaxial output for slightly better
sound quality.
Connect the coaxial output from the DVD
player to the coaxial digital input on the D
to A unit using a phono cable suitable for
use with digital audio signals.
Alternatively connect the optical output
from the DVD-1 to the optical digital input
on the D to A unit using a TosLink optical
cable.
Analogue audio outputs
The DVD-1 has analogue audio outputs via
the RCA sockets (phono sockets/cinch
sockets, one for left one for right.) and the
SCART connector. Connect these to any
line level input on your preamplifer.
