INSTALLATION

You are now ready to connect the DVD 38 to your system. Before begin-

ning, make sure that all components, including the DVD 38,

are turned

completely off and their power cords are unplugged. Don’t plug any

of the power cords back in until you have finished making all

of your connections.

Many components in a home theater system, such as a receiver or

power amplifier, generate a great deal of heat that can interfere with the

operation of the DVD 38. Therefore, it is best to place the DVD 38 on

its own shelf instead of stacking it directly on top of another component.

It is also a good idea to check the finish of your shelf. Some wood or

other finishes can be affected over time by the DVD 38’s rubber feet.

Step One – Connect the DVD 38 to Other

Components

Select one of the following two sections, depending on whether you are

connecting the DVD 38 directly to a television or video display, or if you

are using an audio/video receiver or processor (this manual will use the

term “receiver” to refer to either a receiver or a processor) that incorpo-

rates the DVD 38 as part of a home theater system.

Connecting the DVD 38 Directly to a Television

If your television is HDMI-capable and HDCP-compliant, then only one

cable connection is required, and it will carry both audio and video

signals. Use the included HDMI cable to connect the DVD 38’s HDMI

output to your television’s HDMI input. See Figure 9. If your television

has a DVI input rather than an HDMI input, purchase an HDMI-to-DVI

cable or adapter.

The DVD 38 is Simplay HD

™

-verified for compatibility

via the HDMI connection with other Simplay HD-verified products.

Figure 9 – HDMI Output

NOTE: When using the HDMI connection, turn on the television

or video display

before

the DVD 38.

If your video display does not have an HDMI input, then separate audio

and video connections are required. Select one of these types of video

connections, in order of preference: component video, S-video,

composite video. See Figure 10.

Figure 10 – Component, S- and Composite Video Outputs

Other than HDMI, most video displays are not equipped with coaxial or

optical digital audio inputs. If your display is, then it would be preferable

to connect one of the DVD 38’s digital audio outputs to the correspon-

ding input on your display. However, most likely you will use the

2-Channel Analog Audio Outputs. See Figure 11.

Figure 11 – 2-Channel Analog Audio Outputs

NOTE: The DVD 38 is capable of downmixing 5.1-channel

materials to the two-channel format, but it is necessary to adjust

the Bass Management setting in the AUDIO SETUP menu to

Stereo. You may also access this setting by pressing the Audio

Mode Button on the remote. If you leave the Bass Management

setting at On or Bypass, the DVD 38 will only output content

specific to the front left and right channels through the

2-Channel Analog Audio Outputs, losing the center and surround

channel information.

After you have connected the DVD 38 to your television, skip to

Step Two for more information.

Connecting the DVD 38 to an Audio/Video Receiver

One of the major advantages of the DVD format is its ability to use a

variety of digital audio formats for the ultimate in sonic performance.

In addition, the DVD 38 is capable of playing DVD-Audio discs, which

contain high-resolution multichannel audio materials. In order to benefit

from these audio formats, we strongly recommend that you connect the

DVD 38 to a 5.1-, 6.1- or 7.1-channel audio/video receiver with the

ability to decode digital audio such as Dolby Digital and DTS, and with

5.1-channel “direct” analog audio inputs. Harman Kardon AVR Series

receivers are compatible with the DVD 38.

The DVD 38 may also be used with an analog A/V receiver by connect-

ing the 2-Channel Analog Audio Outputs to any one of the receiver’s

inputs (in addition to a video connection).

If your receiver is HDMI-capable, connect the DVD 38’s HDMI Output

to one of the receiver’s HDMI inputs. See Figure 9. If the receiver is

equipped with a DVI port, purchase an HDMI-to-DVI cable or adapter.

The DVD 38 is Simplay HD

™

-verified for compatibility

via the HDMI connection with other Simplay HD-verified products.

Figure 9 (repeated) – HDMI Output

Check your receiver’s owner’s manual to determine how it handles

HDMI signals. It may simply switch the signal, it may process the audio

portion of the signal but not the video portion, or it may be capable

of processing both the audio and video portions of the signal. If the

receiver only switches the signal, but is not capable of accessing and

processing the audio or video data, then a separate audio connection

is required, as explained below.

If the receiver is

not

HDMI-capable, then separate audio and video

connections are required. Select

one

of these types of video connec-

tions, in order of preference: component video, S-video, composite

video. See Figure 10.
