Connecting Your TV, Connecting to an AV Receiver

Onkyo DPS-5.5 Connecting Your TV, Connecting to an AV Receiver, Using S-Video, Before connecting

Connecting the DPS-5.5—Continued

Connecting Your TV

•Connect the DVD Player to the TV directly. If you connect the DVD Player to a VCR, TV/VCR combina- tion, or video selector, the playback picture may be distorted as DVD videos are copy protected.

Using S-Video

If your TV (or other equipment) has an S-Video input, you can use this instead of the standard (composite) out- put for a better quality picture.

•Use an S-Video cable (supplied) to connect the S- VIDEO OUTPUT to an S-Video input on your TV (or monitor or AV receiver).

•The DPS-5.5 has two S-Video output connectors. They output the same video signal.

•Line up the small triangle above the jack with the same mark on the plug before plugging in.

Using Component Video

You can use the component video output instead of the standard video out jack to connect this player to your TV (or other equipment).

This should give you the best quality picture from the three types of video output available.

•Use a component video cable (not supplied) to con- nect the COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT jacks to a component video input on your TV, monitor or AV receiver.

•If your TV or projector has BNC component video inputs, use a BNC component video cable to connect them to the DPS-5.5’s BNC component video outputs.

•The DPS-5.5 has two component video outputs. The COMPONENT 1 output uses RCA/phono connectors. The COMPONENT 2 output uses BNC connectors.

They output the same video signal.

Note:

•To set up the player for use with a progressive scan TV, see “Component Out” on page 45.

Connecting to an AV Receiver

Although you can reproduce the DVD Player’s sound from the TV speakers with the connections on page 19, connecting with an ampliﬁer provides you high quality dynamic sounds.

To reproduce Dolby Digital surround and DTS surround sound, you need to connect to an ampliﬁer with a Dolby Digital and DTS decoder respectively.

Before connecting

•When you connect the DVD Player to the ampliﬁer, be sure to turn off the power and unplug both units from the wall outlet before making any connections. Other- wise, the speakers may be damaged.

•Connect the plugs securely.

To enjoy surround sound you need to connect this player to an AV receiver using a digital output. This player has both coaxial and optical digital jacks; use whichever is convenient.

In addition to a digital connection, we recommend also connecting using the stereo analog connection.

To record the audio from a CD-R disc etc. to a cassette or CDR recorder that’s connected to the AV receiver, and when your AV receiver has Zone2, you must connect the DPS-5.5’s analog audio outputs to the AV receiver.

You’ll probably also want to connect a video output to your AV receiver. You can use any of the video outputs available on this player (the illustration on next page shows a standard (composite) connection).
