DV137
E-4
Positioning the unit
Place the DV137 on a level, firm surface and ensure that there is adequate ventilation for the unit.
Making video connections
To view the pictures from the DVD player you need to connect one of its video outputs to your display
device (TV, monitor, projector, etc.).
The DV137 has five video output options, described below. You need only use one type of video from the
list; choose a type that your display device supports. If your display device does not support any of the
above connection types then you will be unable to use it with the DV137; in this case, please contact
your dealer for further assistance.
Note that you may connect equipment such as AV receivers in the signal path between the DVD player
and the display device, so long that the connected equipment also supports the type of video signal you
intend to use. For instructions on how to connect AV equipment, consult the manual for that equipment.
Using two video connections simultaneously
It is possible to use two video connections simultaneously (routing one connection to a second room or
display, for example). If you wish to do this, please read these notes:
<
The Composite video and SCART outputs are always active. These carry interlaced output at all
times.
<
The Component video output is always active. It can be set to carry either interlaced or
progressive-scan output.
<
The HDMI output is active only if a compatible display is detected by the DV137. It can be set to
carry either interlaced, progressive-scan or high-definition output.
<
The S-video output is active only when the Component and HDMI outputs are carrying interlaced
video.
Composite video
If your display device offers only a composite input (sometimes labelled CVBS or just ‘video’), connect
this to the
COMPOSITE
video output of the DVD player using a 75Ω phono cable suitable for video use.
Note that a composite video connection gives the lowest-quality output; if your display device supports
other video connection types, we advise that those are used instead.
S-Video
The S-Video output (also known as S-VHS or Y/C) is commonly supported by display devices worldwide.
Connect the
S-VIDEO
output of the DVD player to the S-Video input of the display device using an
appropriate cable.
Component video
Use three 75Ω phono cables to connect the Component Y, Pb, Pr outputs of the DVD player to the Y,
Pb, Pr inputs of the display device. Ensure that the cables are suitable for video use and that they are
approximately the same length.
If your television is capable of accepting a progressively scanned (de-interlaced) video signal,
you may wish to use the progressive video output from the
DV137. If you are unsure whether your display device can accept
progressive video, please refer to its instruction manual or consult
your dealer.
Some component video interfaces are labelled differently to the
DV137; see the table if the component inputs of your display device
are not labelled ‘Y, Pb, Pr’.
