Introduction; Dvd Player Models - Meridian G91 Installation Manual

This guide provides full information about unpacking the DVD player, connecting it to the
other equipment in the system, and configuring it using the front panel.
Once you have connected and configured the DVD player, refer to the G Series System Guide

DVD player models

The G Series includes three models of DVD player. All three play
audio-CDs, MP3 CDs, Video CDs, DVD-Video, and DVD-Audio discs.
They can all decode Dolby Digital, DTS, MPEG, MP3, and MLP
data streams to PCM for stereo, and in some cases multichannel,
playback. They can all optionally output Dolby Digital, DTS, and
MPEG bitstreams for connection to a surround controller (Type 2,
see page 14).
G98AH and G98DH
Audio
The G98 is the ideal partner for the G68 Digital Surround
Controller. The G98AH and G98DH are DVD-Audio transports that
provide fixed-level multichannel or two-channel audio outputs. They
are designed for use with a surround controller with multichannel
analogue (G98AH) or digital (G98DH) inputs (Types 3/4/5, see page
13). Alternatively, either model can be connected to a pair of DSP

loudspeakers to create a complete high-quality two-channel DVD
system (Type 1, see page 11).
Video
The G98AH and G98DH include a powerful video processor and
scaler which can simultaneously provide composite and S-video
outputs, plus progressive component video and up to 1080i on an
HDMI output. They provide two composite, three S-video, and one
interlaced component video input, all of which can be routed to
any of the video outputs with appropriate scaling.
G91
Audio
The G91 incorporates a two-channel preamplifier with two coax
digital inputs, two optical inputs, and three analogue inputs.
It provides analogue and fixed digital stereo outputs. The G91
includes digital signal processing to upsample decoded streams, or
decode bitstreams from external sources. It also includes a high-
quality FM/AM tuner with RDS.
