Installation

Positioning the unit

Place the DV89 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 DV89 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

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’.

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 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.
