Quick Start

READ THIS FIRST

The Showcase DVD is shipped ready to play from the factory. The

 

player automatically switches to NTSC or PAL, depending on the

 

disc format. The default standard is preset, and not selectable by the

 

user.

 

To get started, Krell recommends the following routine:

Step 1

Connect the Showcase DVD to AC Power

Step 2

PROGRESSIVE SCAN VIDEO

Note

Plug the AC cord into the wall outlet. The red stand-by LED (3) illumi- nates.

Choose and Connect the Video Outputs to Your Television

Choose the output that matches your television input. The Showcase DVD supports composite, S-Video, interlaced, and progressive scan (480p) component video signals. See Definition of Terms, on

page 3, for a detailed description of video signals.

The progressive PrPbY outputs will provide the best quality pic- ture, because they build video screen content in one pass. To achieve this picture quality, the progressive PrPb Y outputs need to be connected to a television with a 31.5 kHz horizontal scan rate, capable of accepting a progressive signal of 480p or better. Most plasma, D-ILA, DLP, and HDTV televisions have this fea- ture.

Connect the Showcase DVD directly to the television. Set the TV to the cor- rect video input channel.

HDMI CONNECTOR

An optional HDMI connector is available for the Showcase DVD. The

(Optional)

connector produces the following digital component signals: 480p,

 

720p, and 1080i.
