Back Panel Cable Connections - Goldmund EIDOS 36 User Manual

6. BACK PANEL CABLE CONNECTIONS

Video Connections
The EIDOS 36 offers 4 different types of Video signal outputs:
o S-Video Output connector.
o 3 x 75 Ohms RCA coaxial Component Video Output connectors.
o 5 x 75 Ohms BNC RGB progressive Output
o DVI Digital Video Output
Always use high quality cables for getting the best picture. The best results will be achieved by using high quality coaxial cable on
Component Video Output connectors or high-quality S-Video cable on the S-Video Output connector. Both may be of equivalent quality
if the associated equipment is properly tuned (especially for color and hue). On some type of projectors or screen, the component video
may be found of higher quality. On some doublers or quadruplers, the S-Video may be providing better results. Always experiment the
best selection in readjusting the color and hue accordingly.
If you use the Progressive Output, move the top left switch on the rear panel to analogue Video.
If you use the DVI Digital Video Output, move the top left switch on the rear panel to Digital Video.
Audio Connections
The Eidos 36 is equipped with the following stereo output connectors to connect your player to a D/A converter or digital preamplifier:
o 75 Ohms RCA coaxial SPDIF connector.
o TOSLINK optical cable output.
Goldmund recommends that the greatest care is taken when selecting the cable linking the player to the D/A converter or digital
preamplifier. The very accurate signal provided by the Eidos 36 can easily be ruined by an imperfect connection. Use a "Goldmund
Lineal" cable from the coaxial output if you want to achieve the most accurate jitter-free connection for CD playback.
Additionally, there are the following Analog Audio Outputs:
o 2 x RCA (Left/Right) coaxial stereo analogue outputs.
o 6 x RCA 6 channel coaxial analogue outputs (needed for multi-channel DVD-Audio and SACD connection.
