POSITIONING THE UNIT

Place the DV27 on a level, firm surface and ensure that there is
adequate ventilation for the unit.

CONNECTINGVIDEO OUTPUTS

To view the pictures from the DVD player you need to connect one of
its video outputs to a TV, monitor or projector.
The DV27 has five video outputs:
Component video
RGB
S-Video
Composite video
Progressive scan component 525P (480P) and 625P (576P)
video.
You only need to use one type of video from the list. Choose a type
that your TV supports.
NOTE: If your TV supports none of these types of video then it's
time to purchase a new TV!
Note that you may connect equipment such as AV receivers in the signal
path between the DVD player and the TV, so long as that equipment
supports the correct type of video signal. For instructions on how to
connect AV equipment, consult the manual for that equipment.
COMPONENT VIDEO (INTERLACED)
The component video outputs are situated between the SCART and S-
Video connectors. Use three phono cables to connect the Component
Y, Pb, Pr outputs of the DVD player to the Y, Pb, Pr inputs of the TV.
Ensure that the cables are suitable for video use and that they are
approximately the same length. Some component video interfaces are
labelled in different ways: see the table below if your TV's component
inputs are not labelled 'Y, Pb, Pr'.

RGB OUTPUT
RGB output is available on both the SCART and Component/RGB
sockets and offers picture quality equal to component video.
Use appropriate cables to connect either the SCART connector or
RGB phonos to the TV. Note that if you are using RGB output via
phono connectors, you will also need to use
signal.
If you are using a SCART connection to your TV, it is best to mute your
TV's speakers because SCART also carries stereo audio signals; this
prevents audio coming through the TV.
AV control:The SCART output has a control signal that switches your
TV to its SCART input when the DV27 is turned on. It will also signal to
wide screen TVs the correct aspect ratio (16:9 or 4:3), provided these
features are supported by the TV.
S-VIDEO
The S-Video output (also known as
supported by TVs worldwide. Connect the
player to the S-Video input of the TV using an appropriate cable.
COMPOSITE VIDEO
If your TV only offers a composite input (sometimes labelled CVBS or
just 'video'), connect this to the
player using a phono cable suitable for video use.
NOTE: The DVD player can only support component video or
RGB video at any one time. This is specified in the setup menu. If
you use either of these outputs with an incorrect menu setting, the
picture will be coloured in a strange way. Similar effects result from
cross connection of the three signals.
If you use component video outputs, you must ensure that the
SCART socket is not used. Similarly, if the SCART socket is used,
disconnect the component video leads.
PROGRESSIVE VIDEO
If your television is capable of accepting a progressively scanned video
signal, you may wish to use the progressive video output from the
DV27.
To connect the progressive output of the DV27 to your TV, follow the
instructions above for connecting component video. If you are unsure
whether your TV can accept progressive video, please refer to its
instruction manual or consult your dealer.
