PROGRESSIVE VIDEO
If your television is capable of accepting a progressively scanned video
signal, you may wish to use the progressive video output from the
DV27A, using the sockets near the top of the rear panel.
To connect the progressive output of the DV27A to your TV, follow
the instructions above for connecting component video. If you are
unsure whether your TV can accept progressive video, please refer to
its instruction manual or consult your dealer.
CONNECTING 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 coaxial or optical lead. These digital
outputs provide PCM, Dolby Digital, DTS or MPEG multi-channel
audio, depending on the source material. It is also possible to set the
digital output always to output 2-channel PCM (stereo mix-down) via
the setup menu.
If possible, use the coaxial 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 ANALOGUE AUDIO
If you wish to use the high quality D-A converters of the DVD player,
or if you wish to listen to DVD-audio material, then you will need to
use the analogue audio outputs of the DVD player.
If the analogue outputs are to be used only for 2-channel material, two
pairs of outputs are provided (these are identical), labelled ‘L’ (left) and
‘R’ (right). Connect one of these pairs to the input of your amplifier
using a suitable pair of interconnect cables. If required, the second
set of audio outputs can be used to connect to a second amplifier
setup for ‘multi-room’ use, or routed to a tape recorder for making
recordings.
For 6-channel material, an additional four outputs are provided.
Together with one pair of the 2-channel output connections, these
should be connected (using suitable interconnect cables) to the ‘multi-
channel’ analogue input of your home cinema processor (the multi-
channel input may be labelled ‘DVDA’ or ‘SACD’). In this case, the
additional 2-channel output pair may be used for some other function,
as suggested above (although when playing 6-channel material, only
the left and right channels of this material would be heard).
REMOTE CONTROL INPUT
The REMOTE IN input can be used to pass RC5 code to the DV27A if it
is installed in a position (or system) where infrared cannot be used.
CONNECTING TO A POWER SUPPLY
WRONG PLUG?
Check that the plug supplied with the unit fits 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
fitted 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 firmly.
Put the plug on the other end of the cable into your power supply
socket and switch the socket on.
