Positioning the unit

Place the DV139 on a level, firm surface and ensure that there is adequate ventilation for the unit.

Arcam recommend a minimum of 10cm (4”) free space above the unit.

Making video connections

To view the pictures from the DVD player you need to connect one of its video outputs to your display device (TV, monitor, projector, etc.).

The DV139 has five video output options, described below. You need only use one type of video from the list; choose a type that your display device supports. If your display device does not support any of the above connection types then you will be unable to use it with the DV139; in this case, please contact your dealer for further assistance.

Note that you may connect equipment such as AV receivers in the signal path between the DVD player and the display device, so long that the connected equipment also supports the type of video signal you intend to use. For instructions on how to connect AV equipment, consult the manual for that equipment.

Using two video connections simultaneously

It is possible to use two video connections simultaneously (routing one connection to a second room or display, for example). If you wish to do this, please read these notes:

<The Composite video and SCART outputs are always active. These carry interlaced output at all times.

<The Component video output is always active. It can be set to carry either interlaced or progressive-scan output.

<The HDMI output is active only if a compatible display is detected by the DV139. It can be set to carry either interlaced, progressive-scan or high-definition output.

<The S-video output is active only when the Component and HDMI outputs are carrying interlaced video.

Composite video

If your display device offers only a composite input (sometimes labelled CVBS or just ‘video’), connect this to the COMPOSITE video output of the DVD player using a 75Ω phono cable suitable for video use. Note that a composite video connection gives the lowest-quality output; if your display device supports other video connection types, we advise that those are used instead.

S-Video

The S-Video output (also known as S-VHS or Y/C) is commonly supported by display devices worldwide. Connect the S‑VIDEO output of the DVD player to the S‑Video input of the display device using an appropriate cable.

Component video

Use three 75Ω phono cables to connect the Component Y, Pb, Pr outputs of the DVD player to the Y, Pb, Pr inputs of the display device. Ensure that the cables are suitable for video use and that they are approximately the same length.

If your television is capable of accepting a progressively scanned (de-interlaced) video signal, you may wish to use the progressive video output from the DV139. If you are unsure whether your display device can accept progressive video, please refer to its instruction manual or consult your dealer.

Some component video interfaces are labelled differently to the DV139; see the table if the component inputs of your display device are not labelled ‘Y, Pb, Pr’.
