· Motiv 5
Connection: DVD player/recorder
Connecting the Motiv 5 to a
DVD player/recorder
The Motiv 5 can be used not only for direct con-
nection to the PC, but also for direct connec -
tion to a DVD player/recorder. It allows you to
create a complete home cinema sound system
with just two audio appliances!
To control the Motiv 5 directly via a DVD player,
the player/recorder must have an integrated
Dolby Digital or DTS decoder. This type of equip
-
ment can often be recognised by the fact that
the DVD player has an analogue 5.1 cinch output
at the back (6 cinch jacks for front R/L, rear R/L,
centre and subwoofer). The DVD player/recorder
is connected directly to the subwoofer with
three stereo cinch cables, from the 5.1 cinch
outputs of the DVD player to the 5.1 cinch in
-
puts of the subwoofer.
Connecting the Motiv 5 to a DVD
player/recorder without 5.1
analogue outputs
Even if your DVD player/recorder
does not have a decoder or six
analogue cinch outputs, you can
still successfully use the Motiv 5.
Connect the stereo output of
your appliance using a stereo
cinch cable with the front input
“In R/L” on the subwoofer.
Thanks to the integrated
“upmix” function in the Motiv 5,
the four satellite speakers
reproduce a stereo signal and
the centre speaker and the
subwoofer each reproduce a
mono signal. This of course
doesn’t sound as perfect as Dol-
by Digital, but does defeniteley
sound better than pure stereo
reproduction. Later you will also
still have the chance to operate
your speaker using an AV recei-
ver/amplifier or a decoderstation
to experience the full pleasure of
Dolby Digital and DTS.
DVD player settings are descri-
bed in detail on page 16.

players can be found on our
