Connecting the Concept E Magnum Power
Edition to a DVD player/recorder .
The Concept E Magnum can be used not only for
direct connection to the PC, but also for direct
connection to a DVD player/recorder. It allows
you to create a complete home cinema sound
system with just two audio appliances!
To control the Concept E Magnum directly via a
DVD player, the player/recorder must have an in-
tegrated Dolby Digital/DTS decoder. This type of
equipment 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
inputs of the subwoofer. The five satellites are
connected directly to the speaker clamps on the
subwoofer, using a speaker cable.
Even if your DVD player/recorder does not have a
decoder or six analogue cinch outputs, you can
still successfully use the Concept E Magnum.
Connect the stereo output of your appliance us-
ing a stereo cinch cable with the front input “In
R/L” on the subwoofer. Thanks to the integrated
“upmix” function in the Concept E Magnum, the
4 satellite speakers reproduce a stereo signal
and the centre speaker and the subwoofer 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 experi-
ence the full pleasure of Dolby Digital and DTS
(see page 13).
