REAR-PANEL CONNECTIONS

Remote Infrared (IR) Input and Output:

When the Remote IR sensor

on the front panel is blocked, such as when the DVD 48 is placed
inside a cabinet, connect the IR Output of your receiver/processor or
an optional IR receiver to the Remote IR Input jack for use with the
remote control. The Remote IR Output may be connected to the
Remote IR Input of a compatible source device (or other product) to
enable remote control through the DVD 48. When several devices are
used, connect them in “daisy chain” fashion.

HDMI Output:

If you have an HDMI-compatible receiver or video

display device, connect this output to an HDMI input on the receiver
or video display for high-quality digital audio and video. Even if your
receiver is not capable of processing audio in the HDMI format, you
will still experience the superb reproduction of HDMI video.

In all cases, the video display must be HDCP-compliant in order to use
the HDMI output. For best results, we do not recommend HDMI connec-
tions in excess of ten feet without a repeater. If your video display has a
DVI input, you may use an optional HDMI-to-DVI cable or adapter for
the video connection to the display, and a separate audio connection.

The DVD 48 is Simplay HD-verified for compatibility via the HDMI
connection with other Simplay HD-verified products.

NOTE:

To use the HDMI Output, make sure to turn it on by press-

ing the HDMI Button on the remote. When the HDMI Output is
turned on, the Component Video Outputs are not available for use.

The following audio formats may be output via the HDMI connection:
Audio CD – 2-Channel PCM or 5.1-channel DTS
DVD-Audio – 2-Channel or 5.1-channel PCM
DVD-Video – Up to 5.1-channel Dolby Digital, DTS or PCM

NOTE:

To hear the high-resolution surround sound recorded on

SACD discs, connect the 6-Channel Audio Outputs to the corre-
sponding input jacks on your receiver or processor. This format is
not output digitally. If your receiver is not capable of processing
the audio portion of an HDMI signal, use the 6-Channel Audio
Outputs to enjoy DVD-Audio discs as well.

To hear a 2-channel analog downmix via the 2-Channel Analog
Audio Outputs, select Stereo at the Analog Output setting in the
AUDIO SETUP submenu, or press the Audio Mode Button on the
remote repeatedly until the Stereo setting is selected.

Coaxial and Optical Digital Audio Outputs:

If your receiver or

processor has an available digital audio input, connect either of these
digital audio outputs to the corresponding input on the receiver/processor
to enjoy digital audio formats such as Dolby Digital, DTS or standard
PCM (traditionally found on CDs and may be available on other discs).
Never connect both of these outputs to the same device simultaneously.
However, it is okay to connect one of the digital audio outputs plus the
analog audio outputs to the same device.

NOTE:

The Coaxial Digital Output should only be connected to

a digital input. Even though it is the same RCA-type connector
as standard analog audio connections, DO NOT connect it to
a conventional analog input jack.

Component Video Outputs:

If your television or video display and

receiver are component video-capable, and your display does not have

an HDMI input, connect these jacks to the corresponding inputs on the
receiver or TV that are labeled “Y/Pr/Pb” or “Y/Cr/Cb.” If your video
display is capable of handling resolutions of 480p or better, connect
these outputs to the HD (high-definition) component video inputs on
your display. If the display is capable of displaying progressive-scan
video, select On at the Progressive Scan setting in the VIDEO SETUP
submenu.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Do not connect the Component Video

Output jacks to standard composite video inputs on any device.

Composite and S-Video Outputs:

If your video display does not have

HDMI or component video inputs, connect one of these two video
outputs to your receiver/processor or directly to the display. If available,
S-video is preferred. Do not connect more than one of the DVD 48’s
analog video outputs (component video, S-video, composite video) to
any other device at the same time. You may connect both the HDMI
Output and the Composite Video Output to your receiver if your receiver
distributes composite video through a multiroom system.

2-Channel Analog Audio Outputs:

Connect these outputs to the left

and right analog audio inputs on your receiver/processor or TV. You
may connect these jacks in addition to a digital audio connection, and
it is recommended that you do so as a backup if you wish to use the
DVD 48 as a source device for a multiroom system or if you wish to
make analog recordings, as it is not possible to make digital recordings
of most DVDs.

6-Channel Analog Audio Outputs:

Connect these outputs to the

matching 6-channel analog audio inputs on your receiver or surround
sound processor. This connection is required to listen to the multichannel
tracks on SACD discs. If the disc also contains a Linear PCM, Dolby
Digital or DTS track, you may listen to it using the HDMI Output, the
Coaxial or Optical Digital Audio Output or the 2-Channel Analog
Audio Outputs.

NOTE:

A 2-channel downmix is not available simultaneously with

a 6-channel presentation. Set the Analog Output in the AUDIO
SETUP menu to Stereo to hear a 2-channel downmix, available
at both the 2-Channel Analog Audio Outputs and the front left and
right outputs of the 6-Channel Analog Audio Outputs. In Stereo
mode, no audio will be available at the center and surround out-
puts of the 6-Channel Analog Audio Outputs.

If the 6-Channel Analog Audio Outputs are connected to corre-
sponding 6-channel inputs on your receiver, set the Analog Output
in the AUDIO SETUP menu to Multichannel to hear all six channels
(if available on the disc). In Multichannel mode, only the front left
and right channel information will be available at the 2-Channel
Analog Audio Outputs, without any center or surround information.

AC Power Input:

Connect the AC power cord to an AC outlet, and plug

the cord’s female end into this receptacle. If the outlet is controlled by
a switch, make certain that it is in the ON position. If the cord somehow
becomes damaged, contact your authorized Harman Kardon dealer for
a replacement.
