POSITIONING THE UNIT
Place the DV27A on a level, firm 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 DV27A has five 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 (INTERLACED)
The component video outputs are situated between the SCART
and S-Video connectors. 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’.
DV27A player 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 DV27A 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 specified 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.
