In this case, you must hook up the player with a composite or S output and program the component output to interlace using the remote.

COMPOSITE VIDEO OUT (C) - Standard video output that you can connect to your TV or Projector.

S-VIDEO OUT (S) - S-Video output that you should use instead of the VIDEO OUT jack if possible..

Analog Audio Outputs

8 VOLUME CONTROLLED ANALOG AUDIO OUTPUTS – They are designed to drive any high-end Amplifier directly. Two outputs are extra channels and can be programmed to contain different content depending on your needs. See Page # 18 for details. In order to be able to hear multichannel sound from SACDs, DVD-Video and DVD-Audio discs, you need to set SACD Playback to Multi-ch Area, and the Audio Output Mode to 5.1 Channel (see page # 34).

LINE LEVEL FRONT – This balanced analog output is provided primarily to supply high-quality SACD audio to the analog passthrough input of an outboard DAC. It should only be used for SACD as the quality of any other audio is inferior to the quality from the volume controlled single-ended outputs. Even if you do not intend to use the volume control, use the volume controlled output for critical listening.

5.1LINE LEVEL OUTPUT - This 6 channel output is provided primarily to supply high-quality SACD audio to the analog passthrough input of an outboard DAC. It should only be used for SACD as the quality of any other audio is inferior to the quality from the volume controlled single-ended outputs. Even if you do not intend to use the volume control, use the volume controlled output for critical listening.

Digital Audio Outputs

The player also has optical and coaxial digital outputs should you want to use an external decoder or the decoder in your AV receiver. Note that multichannel DVD-Audio and SACD audio is not output through these jacks, so this connection should be in addition to, rather than instead of, a 5.1 channel analog connection.

Toslink Optical – Although this format has the lowest bandwidth, it is one of the more common outputs on low-end products. It also offers ground isolation between products and noise immunity over long runs. 192K material is downsampled to 48K. Digital audio outputs can also be programmed for connection to a PCM, Dolby Digital, DTS and/or MPEG-compatible processor.

Coaxial – A good input for short runs and lower frequencies. 192K material is downsampled to 48K. Digital audio outputs can also be programmed for connection to a PCM, Dolby Digital, DTS and/or MPEG-compatible processor.

The MSB Network

MSB Network – These triple CAT-5 connectors are actually three identical multi-channel high-definition digital audio outputs with full 24 bit, 192K audio resolution with all material played except SACD. These outputs can be attached to an outboard DAC. All three outputs contain volume information so they can be attached to a MVC with internal DACs or a Network DAC, and they will slave to the SDVD Player.

SLAVE - This MSB Network output is just for volume control and can be used as either an output, sending imbedded volume information for an outboard MVC. This is useful if balanced outboard DACs and Balanced MVC are used. It can also be used as a volume input, if the DVD player was converted to a slave and another MVC was set up as the master. Although not likely, it could happen in a large Theater.

One of the most powerful features of the Player is the MSB network. The MSB network has the following capability:

*Unidirectional communications over any twisted pair

*Simultaneous transmission of 8 audio channels with 32 bit resolution at 192 kHz sampling

rate

*Simultaneous transmission of 8 data channels with 3 Mbs data rate (for volume and trim data)

*A single serial channel of 384 kbits/sec for control and system data.

This network is our answer to 192 kHz audio transmission and multichannel transmission in the same package. We provide network outputs to this player and offer a source upgrade to your transport as well. In a surround processor, this upgrade can send up to 8 channels of decoded data through one wire

 

to separate DACs. The twisted pair format is very

 

convenient as it has become the standard for all
