Positioning the unit

Place the DV78 on a level, firm surface and ensure that there is
adequate ventilation for the unit.

Connecting outputs: Video

To view the pictures from the DVD player you need to connect
one of its video outputs to a TV, monitor or projector.
The DV78 has five video outputs:



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

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
a sync 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 DV78 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
DVD 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
output of the DVD player using a phono cable suitable for video
use.
NOTE: The DVD player can only support component video
alternative
or RGB video at any one time. This is specified in the setup
Y
menu. If you use either of these outputs with an incorrect
U
menu setting, the picture will be coloured in a strange way.
Similar effects result from cross connection of the three
V
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.
