CONNECTING DIGITAL AUDIO

If you have an external surround sound decoder, receiver or D-A converter that you wish to use with the DVD player, then you will need to connect it using either a coaxial or optical lead. These digital outputs provide PCM, Dolby Digital, DTS or MPEG multi-channel audio, depending on the source material. It is also possible to set the digital output always to output 2-channel PCM (stereo mix-down) via the setup menu.

If possible, use the coaxial connection as this may offer slightly better performance. Connect the coax output of the DVD player to the digital audio coax input of the decoder/D-A converter or receiver using a phono cable designed for digital audio interconnection.

Alternatively, connect the optical output of the DVD player to the optical input of the decoder/D-A converter or receiver using a TOSLINK optical lead.

CONNECTING ANALOGUE AUDIO

If you wish to use the high quality D-A converters of the DVD player, or if you wish to listen to DVD-audio material, then you will need to use the analogue audio outputs of the DVD player.

If the analogue outputs are to be used only for 2-channel material, two pairs of outputs are provided (these are identical), labelled ‘L’ (left) and ‘R’ (right). Connect one of these pairs to the input of your amplifier using a suitable pair of interconnect cables. If required, the second set of audio outputs can be used to connect to a second amplifier setup for ‘multi-room’ use, or routed to a tape recorder for making recordings.

For 6-channel material, an additional four outputs are provided. Together with one pair of the 2-channel output connections, these should be connected (using suitable interconnect cables) to the ‘multi-channel’ analogue input of your home cinema processor (the multi-channel input may be labelled ‘DVDA’ or ‘SACD’). In this case, the additional 2-channel output pair may be used for some other function, as suggested above (although when playing 6-channel material, only the left and right channels of this material would be heard).

REMOTE CONTROL INPUT

The REMOTE IN input can be used to pass RC5 code to the DV27A if it is installed in a position (or system) where infrared cannot be used.

CONNECTING TO A POWER SUPPLY

WRONG PLUG?
Check that the plug supplied with the unit fits your supply and that your			English
mains supply voltage agrees with the voltage setting (115V or 230V)
indicated on the rear panel of the unit.
If your mains supply voltage	or mains plug	is different,
consult your Arcam dealer or	Arcam Customer	Support on
+44 (0)1223 203200.

MAINS LEAD

The appliance is normally supplied with a moulded mains plug already fitted to the lead. If for any reason the plug needs to be removed, it must be disposed of immediately and securely, as it is a potential shock hazard when inserted into the mains socket. Should you require a new mains lead, contact your Arcam dealer.

PLUGGING IN

Push the plug (IEC line socket) of the power cable supplied with the unit into the socket (POWER INLET) in the back of the unit. Make sure it is pushed in firmly.

Put the plug on the other end of the cable into your power supply socket and switch the socket on.
