11 INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS

Installation
Connections will vary, depending on the type of
audio and video components used with your
DVD 5. However, regardless of the complexity
of your system, the installation guidelines on
pages 11–14 should always be followed to
ensure a safe installation and reliable operation
of the product.

Important Note: To prevent possible damage
to your speakers or other components in your
home entertainment system, we strongly rec-
ommend that ALL system components, includ-
ing the DVD 5, be turned off and unplugged
from their AC power source when any connec-
tions are made or a new component is
installed.

Placement of the DVD 5
Since the laser transport mechanism and
carousel tray in the DVD 5 are precision instru-
ments that are designed and manufactured to
precise tolerances, they are subject to interfer-
ence from vibration. To minimize the possibility
of skipping during playback, it is recommended
that the unit be placed on a level, solid,
vibration-free surface.

When installing the DVD 5 in a cabinet or tight
space, always make certain that there is enough
room in front of the unit for the disc tray to
open fully, and that there is enough space
above the unit so that discs may easily be
inserted into the spaces in the tray.

As the disc drawer extends out about six inches
from the front of the unit when it is open, you
should also make certain that there is sufficient
clearance in front of the unit to accommodate
the disc drawer without it bumping into other
objects or getting in the way of anyone walking
in front of the unit.

In addition to the safety considerations outlined
on page 4, it is also recommended that the
DVD 5 not be placed in a location that is sub-
ject to direct sunlight or extreme heat or cold,
as these conditions may damage the discs used
in the player, or the player itself. Note that
audio amplifiers or high-power receivers, as
well as certain other electronic products, can
generate significant heat. For that reason, do
not place the DVD 5 directly on top of an
amplifier, receiver, or other heat source.
Always allow at least one inch of free space on
all sides of the DVD 5 as well as around other
electronic products to allow for proper 
ventilation.

Installation Options
The diagrams on pages 12–14 describe the
three basic ways to connect the DVD 5 to your
system components.

■ Option #1: Use this setup if all audio and

video connections from the DVD 5 will go
directly to a television set or video projector
without the use of an A/V receiver or 
surround processor.

■ Option #2: Use this setup if the video con-

nections will go directly to a television set or
video projector, but the audio connections
will be made to an A/V Receiver or surround
processor.

■ Option #3: Use this setup if all audio and

video connections will be made through an
A/V receiver or a surround processor.

12 INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS

Direct Connections to a Television or
Video Projector
This is the simplest installation, as it does not
require anything other than a television set.
However, note that in this type of system you
will not be able to enjoy the benefits of Dolby
Digital or DTS discrete playback, as that
requires the digital audio processing found in
A/V receivers or surround processors. Follow as
many of these steps as needed, based on the
capabilities of your television:

Connect the left and right Analog Audio

Outputs £ on the DVD 5 to the audio 
inputs on your television.

Connect the

Composite Video Output ¢ on the DVD 5
to a video input on your television. Note that
composite video connections typically have a
yellow center ring for easy identification.

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.

Connect the S-Video Output ∞ on the

DVD 5 to an S-Video input on your television.

Connect the AC power cord to an AC 

outlet.

■ 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 using the S-Video
connection due to the higher picture quality.

■ Do not connect any of the video outputs of

the DVD 5 through a VCR. Due to the use of
Macrovision encoding on most DVD discs,
connections through the circuitry of a VCR
will distort the picture so that it will become
unwatchable.

■ Note that the volume level for DVD playback

may different from the level for TV broad-
casts. This is normal and does not indicate a
problem with the DVD 5 or your TV set.
Simply use the volume control on the TV set
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 purpose of connecting a DVD player,
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.
