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/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 with no 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 sub-
woofer each reproduce a mono
signal. This admittedly doesn’t
sound as perfect as Dolby
Digital, but does sound better
than pure stereo reproduction.
Later you will also still have the
chance to operate your speaker
using an AV receiver/amplifier,
to experience the full pleasure of
Dolby Digital and DTS.
DVD player settings are descri-
bed in detail on page 16.
A selection of suitable DVD
players can be found on our
website www.teufel.eu in the
“FAQ/support” area.
