SRS Labs DVD-1 Instructions For Use Manual - Introduction
INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
Thank you for choosing the Musical
Fidelity DVD-1. The unit is specifically
designed to reproduce all approved video
and audio formats.
The DVD-1 can be used as either a high-
end CD player, a home cinema audio/video
signal source or a combination of both.
The DVD-1 has digital out via an optical
link and also via coaxial output which will
output Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic and
DTS Digital Surround
TM
encoded signals.
For audio out the DVD-1 has left and right
analogue outputs, via a standard RCA con-
nector.
For video outputs it has one ‘S’ video, one
composite video output and RGB via the
SCART socket.
The DVD-1 has been configured by the
factory only to play DVD video discs for
the region where the player was intended
to be sold. See the back panel for the
region that your DVD player is set to.
The DVD has also been set to output the
correct TV system for country where it was
intended to be sold. The two possible set-
tings are PAL or NTSC. Europe, Hong
Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, and the Middle
East use PAL TV system. The USA,
Canada, and Taiwan use NTSC.
All DVD video discs are recorded in either
PAL or NTSC. Once the unit is playing
one of these discs, the player will output
the TV system that the disc was recorded
in.
If the unit is connected to a TV system of
the wrong type, i.e. a PAL DVD player
connected to a NTSC TV system, then the
Musical Fidelity picture (when the unit is
first turned on) will not be still on the
screen. Also if an audio CD is played the
same will happen.
The user can not change the default TV
system that the DVD player outputs.
If you have any questions about anything
in your audio system, please consult your
dealer who is there to help and advise you.
DTS Digital Surround
TM
is a discrete 5.1 channel
digital audio format available on CD, LD, and DVD
software which consequently cannot be decoded
and played back inside most CD, LD, or DVD play-
ers. For this reason, when DTS-encoded software is
played back through the analogue outputs of the
CD, LD, or DVD player, excessive noise will be
exhibited. To avoid possible damage to the audio
system, proper precautions should taken by the con-
sumer if the analog outputs are connected directly
to an amplification system. To enjoy DTS Digital
Surround
TM
playback, an external 5.1 channel DTS
Digital Surround
TM
decoder system such as the
Musical Fidelity HTP must be connected to the dig-
ital output (S/PDIF, AES/EBU, or TosLink) of the
CD, LD, or DVD-1 player.
