Connecting outputs: Digital audio
If you have an external surround sound decoder, receiver or
D-A converter that you wish to use with the DVD player, then
you will need to connect it using either a coax or optical lead.
These digital outputs provide 2-channel PCM, Dolby Digital, DTS
or MPEG multi-channel audio, depending on the source material.
It is also possible to set the digital output to always give out
2-channel PCM (stereo mix-down) using the setup menu.
If possible, use the coax connection as this may offer slightly
better performance. Connect the coax output of the DVD player
to the digital audio coax input of the decoder/D-A converter
or receiver using a phono cable designed for digital audio
interconnection.
Alternatively, connect the optical output of the DVD player to the
optical input of the decoder/D-A converter or receiver using a
TOSLINK optical lead.
Connecting outputs: Analogue audio
If an external decoder is not available then the DVD player’s
analogue audio outputs will need to be used. You may also
wish to use the analogue outputs when listening to CDs, to take
advantage of the DVD player’s high quality D-A converters.
Two pairs of identical outputs are provided. Connect one
of these to your amplifi er’s input using a suitable pair of
interconnect cables.
The second set of audio outputs can be used to connect to a
second amplifi er setup for ‘multi-room’ use or routed to a tape
recorder for making recordings.
Connecting to a power supply
Wrong plug?
Check that the plug supplied with the unit fi ts your supply and
that your mains supply voltage agrees with the voltage setting
(115V or 230V) indicated on the rear panel of the unit.
If your mains supply voltage or mains plug is different,
consult your Arcam dealer or Arcam Customer Support on
+44 (0)1223 203203.
Mains lead
The appliance is normally supplied with a moulded mains plug
already fi tted to the lead. If for any reason the plug needs to
be removed, it must be disposed of immediately and securely,
as it is a potential shock hazard when inserted into the mains
socket. Should you require a new mains lead, contact your
Arcam dealer.
Plugging in
Push the plug (IEC line socket) of the power cable supplied with
the unit into the socket (
POWER INLET ) in the back of the unit.
Make sure it is pushed in fi rmly.
Put the plug on the other end of the cable into your power
supply socket and switch the socket on.
