Meridian Audio DVP1500 - Manual (Page 6)

INSTALLATION
Unpacking
Remove the DVP1500 unit
from the shipping container
and examine it for any signs
of shipping damage or
missing items (check
inventory list below). All
shipping materials should be
saved if the unit is to be
moved or returned for service.
Shipping unit back to
Faroudja for service not in the
original box may result in
voiding warranty.
Placement
The processor can be either placed on a table or rack
mounted. A rack mounting installation kit is available.
Securely mount the side rack brackets with the
screws that are provided with the kit.
Ventilation
The unit uses convection to cool. A fan is not
needed. As hot air raises out of the side vent, cool air
is drawn in from the bottom. These vents must not
be blocked. When rack mounted, a minimum of
1.75” (1 rack unit height) of free space is required
above and below the unit to allow for proper cooling.
A forced air fan should be added to the rack
installation if power amps are located in the same air
space. Do not install unit above power amps.
Connections
Because of the high performance of the DVP1500
unit it is very important to use the highest quality
cables possible, for both input and output signals.
To avoid AC ground loop problems, the source
equipment, DVP1500 unit and projector should all be
running on the same grounded AC power line (one
rated for the power requirements).
1. S-Video input (4-pin DIN) for sources such as
DVDs, Satellite systems, S-VHS tape decks
(when using S-VHS tapes only), Hi-8 tape
decks.
2. Composite video input (BNC) for sources such
as Laserdisc players, cable TV, VHS tape
decks, 8mm tape decks.
3. YPrPb/RGBs Input (BNC): 480i and HDTV
scan rates are sent to the internal processor
and then output at the selected scan rate. If
the output is set to analog RGBHV or digital
DVI, the unit will automatically trancode the
YPrPb HDTV to RGBHV.
Note on DVDs: For proper aspect ratio and to
insure the highest quality image from the DVD
player, be sure to set the DVD screen shape
to 16:9 in the DVD player's Setup menu. See
the DVD player's owner's manual for details.
4. High scan rate input (D15F) for sources such
as HDTV signals or computers that are passed
through to the projector. The signal is sent to
the outputs in the same format as the input
unless Transcoding is selected. YPrPb from
HDTV sources can be transcoded to RGBHV.
Use a BNC to D15 breakout cable if
necessary. The Green, Red, Blue BNCs
are used for YPrPb.
5. D15F connector output for use with computer
monitors or to a second display device. Use
only short cable runs. This output can be used
at the same time as the BNC outputs.
6. DVI Input. The DVI Input will automaticly
process 480P,720P and 1080i signals.
Computer rates are not supported for
processing but may be passed through to the
DVI output if any of the pass-through inputs
are selected. The DVP1500 will not convert a
computer DVI output to the analog output.
