Installation
Positioning the unit
Place the DV89 on a level, rm surface and ensure that there
is adequate ventilation for the unit.
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 DV89 has ve video outputs:
Component video
RGB
S-video
Composite video
Progressive scan component 525P (480P) and
625P (576P) video.
You only need to use one type of video from the list. Choose a
type that your TV supports.
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.
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’.
DV89 alternative alternative alternative
Y Y Y Y
Pb Cb (B–Y) U
Pr Cr (R–Y) V
NOTE: Component video DVD players and TVs are not
generally available in Europe.
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 do not wish to use the speakers in your TV to provide
audio output from the DVD player, it is best to mute your TV’s
speakers when using a SCART connection to your TV. This is
because SCART also carries stereo audio signals.
AV control: The SCART output has a control signal that switches
your TV to its SCART input when the DV89 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.
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.
NOTE: The DVD player can only support component video
or RGB video at any one time. This is specied 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.
