Connection
DVD PLAYER, CABLE BOX, SATELLITE RECEIVER (DSS), TELEVISION (MONITOR)
When connecting video components such as DVD
players, cable boxes, satellite receivers and televisions,
you can use different types of cables depending on how
the video component is equipped.
Video connections:
If the video component is equipped with S-VIDEO jacks,
it is recommended that it be connected to the DDR94 or
directly to the television monitor using an S-VIDEO
cable. S-Video cables provide better picture clarity and
resolution. If the video component is not equipped with
an S-VIDEO jack, use a conventional RCA to RCA
composite cable to connect to the DDR94 or directly to
the television.
The above illustration shows how to connect video
components to the DDR94.
Note:
When connection more than one video component to the
DDR94 (ie: VCR and DVD player) it is easier to use either
all S-Video cables or all RCA to RCA composite cables.
This allows both video signals (DVD and VCR) to be sent
through the DDR94 to the TV monitor using just one video
input on the TV (S-Video or RCA). Regardless of the
video component being played DVD or VCR, the picture
will always appear on the same video input of the
monitor.
If you use both S-Video and RCA composite cables to
connect different video components to the DDR94, you must
also use both S-Video and RCA composite cables to
connect the TV monitor to the DDR94.
For example, if you connect a DVD player to the DDR94
using S-Video cable and a VCR using an RCA to RCA
composite cable, you must also connect the TV to the
DDR94 using both types of cables. This requires an S-Video
cable from the S-Video monitor out jack on the DDR94 to an
S-Video input on the TV (ie. Video 1). In addition, you must
use an RCA composite cable from the composite video
monitor out jack on the DDR94 to an RCA composite video
input on the TV but not the same input used for the S-Video
cable(ie: Video 2). Using this type of dual cable video
connection. you will need to switch the TV video input
source from TV to Video 1 to Video 2 depending on the video
source being played-TV, DVD or VCR.
Audio connections:
Some video components are equipped with special
digital audio outputs (ie: DVD players). If your video
component is equipped with a digital audio output, it is
recommended that you connect to the DDR94 using a
digital cable. Digital audio cables are required to use the
DTS and Dolby Digital surround sound modes. If you do
not use digital connections, the DDR94 will only operate
in Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby 3 Stereo, Theater, Hall, Stadium
and Disco surround modes.
There are two types of digital cables - coaxial (75 ohm) and
optical. The DDR94 is equipped with both types of digital
inputs. These inputs are labeled DIGITAL/DTS/PCM on the
rear of the unit. Connect the video component outputs to any
one of the three digital inputs on the DDR94.
If the video component is not equipped with a digital output,
use a dual RCA to RCA composite audio cable to connect to
the DDR94. Make sure to connect:
White plug to white jack ( L : left )
Red plug to red jack ( R : right )
Note:
When an optical cable is used, remove the protection
caps from the component and DDR94 before attempting
to insert the optical cable. If not using an optical cable or
if the cable is removed, always re-install the protection
caps to prevent dirt and dust from entering the inputs. If
using a coaxial digital cable, leave the protection caps in
both the video component and DDR94.
