NOTE: Due to differences in the format of
certain discs, it is possible that some discs may
include a mix of features that are not compatible
with the DVD 20. Similarly, although the DVD 20
is capable of a wide range of features, not all
discs include every capability of the DVD system.
For example, although the DVD 20 is compatible
with multi-angle discs, that feature is only possi-
ble when the disc is specially encoded for multi-
ple-angle play. In addition, the DVD 20 is capa-
ble of playing back both Dolby Digital and DTS
soundtracks, but the number and types of tracks
available will vary from disc to disc. To make cer-
tain that a specific feature or soundtrack option
is available, please check the options noted on
the disc jacket.
■ Playback capability for CD-R and CD-RW
discs may vary due to variations in the quality
of the disc and the recorder used to create
the disc.

socket, you can connect a SCART cable to your
TV and to your DVD Player for improved video
quality. The SCART cable carries both audio and
video. You can select Video (composite),
S-Video and RGB video for that SCART
connector’s video output signal (see page 19).
Your DVD 20 is equipped with two SCART con-
nectors, one for direct connection to the TV, the

10 SETUP AND CONNECTIONS
Setup and Connections
■ Ensure that the power switch of this unit and
other equipment to be connected is set to off
before commencing connection.
■ Do not block ventilation holes of any of the
equipment and arrange them so that air can
circulate freely.
■ Read through the instructions before connect-
ing other equipment.
■ Ensure that you observe the color coding
when connecting audio and video cables.
Notes:
■ The Video output (yellow) combines the com-
plete video signal (composite) and sends it to
the TV (or to the AV Receiver) by one line
only. Use the Video output, when your TV set
is equipped with a Video input jack only.
■ The S (separate) video output connector sepa-
rates the color (C) and luminance (Y) signals
before transmitting them to the TV set in
order to achieve a sharper picture. Use the S-
video cable (optional) when connecting the
player to a TV equipped with an S-video input
for improved picture clarity. Never connect
both outputs, Video and S-Video, to your TV
or AV Receiver, only one of them.
■ Most European TV´s are equipped with SCART
connectors rather than with a normal video
input (yellow cinch). In that case the SCART
connection should be used, providing the
audio signal too, (see page 12). Separate ana-
log audio connections to TV are needed only
if your TV is connected to the video or S-video
output.
■ When the audio signal is to be fed to a stereo
or Pro Logic amplifier/decoder or receiver
rather than to the TV, connect the Audio Out
jacks to any normal audio input on your
amplifier/decoder/receiver. The DVD 20 will
”downmix” Dolby Digital recordings to Pro
Logic, available on these connectors, all ana-
log surround or stereo signals will be fed to
them directly.
You can also select the audio and video sig-
nals of all your video devices with your AV
Receiver/Amplifier. For more information see
”Note” on next page.

SETUP AND CONNECTIONS 11
Setup and Connections
When DVD´s encoded in Dolby Digital or DTS are
played, the Dolby Digital or DTS bitstream is out-
put from the player’s OPTICAL or COAXIAL digi-
tal audio output. When the player is connected
to a Dolby Digital or DTS decoder, you can enjoy
theater-quality audio in your home. An optical
digital audio cable or coaxial audio cable (both
optional) is required for these connections, as
shown below. Only one connection is needed,
not both at the same time.
■ Note: With multiple video sources, your
Audio/Video device can be used for selecting
the video signal and routing it to the TV.
Connect the video or S-video output of the
DVD 20 (whatever is provided with your
device) to the video or S-video input on your
device and the video/S-video output of this
device to your TV. For more details, see the
manual of your Audio/Video amplifier/receiver.
■ Note for Analog Audio: The connection
from Audio Out to the TV is optional only.
Normally you´ll hear the sound from your AV-
system´s speakers, so the TV volume should
be completely turned down. If you plan to use
your DVD20 also without having to turn on
your complete system, this connection must
exist, then you can turn up the TV´s volume as
needed.

12 SETUP AND CONNECTIONS
Setup and Connections
Important Notes on SCART and RGB
format:
■ Your DVD 20 is equipped with two SCART
connectors, one for direct connection to the
TV, the second (AUX) for throughput of VCR
or any other video source to a TV with only
one SCART input. The signal from this video
source will be routed through the SCART con-
nector of the DVD to the TV automatically
when the unit plays (composite video only)
and the DVD 20 is turned off (to Standby, not
completely).
■ Both SCART connectors provide the video
signal as well as audio (stereo L/R) signals.
■ The SCART connector for the TV provides the
composite video signal, the S-Video signal or
the direct RGB signal, delivering the best
video performance possible, all selectable in
the Setup menu. To view RGB video on your
TV, the RGB compatible SCART connector on
the TV must be used and the DVD 20´s TV
SCART connector must be set to "RGB" (see
page 19).
Note that with RGB video the color intensity
cannot be adjusted with most TVs.
■ When the RGB video signal is used, DVD´s
recorded with the NTSC format (with regional
code 0 or 2) can be viewed even on non-
NTSC compatible TVs.

14 DIGITAL AUDIO CONNECTIONS
Digital Audio Connections
Notes when connecting the opti-
cal digital audio cable (optional)
■Remove the dust protection cap from the
optical digital audio output and connect the
cable firmly so that the configurations of both
the cable and the connector match.
■Keep the dust protection cap and always
reattach the cap when not using the connec-
tor.
Audio output from the unit’s
optical/coaxial digital audio out-
put connector
*1Digital Audio Output (see page 21) selected
”Dolby Digital” or ”PCM”.
*2Digital Audio Output selected ”DTS” or other
(see page 21).
For your reference:
■Dolby Digital (AC-3) is a digital sound com-
pression technique developed by the Dolby
Laboratories Licensing Corporation,
supporting 5.1-channel surround sound, as
well as stereo (2-channel) sound, this tech-
nique enables a large quantity of sound data
to be efficiently recorded on a disc.
■Linear PCM is a signal recording format used
in CDs. While CDs are recorded in
44.1 kHz/16 bit, DVDs are recorded in
48 kHz/16 bit up to 96 kHz /24 bit.
■If you have a Dolby Pro Logic Surround
decoder connected to the DVD 20’s analog
AUDIO OUT connectors, thanks to the
"Downmix" function of the DVD 20 you will
obtain the full benefit of Pro Logic from the
same DVD movies that provide full 5.1-chan-
nel Dolby Digital soundtracks, as well as from
titles encoded with Dolby Surround.
Caution for the optical/coaxial
digital audio outputs:
■When connecting an amplifier (with an opti-
cal/coaxial digital input ) which does not con-
tain a Dolby Digital (AC-3) or DTS decoder, be
sure to select “PCM” as initial setting in the
“Digital Audio Output” menu (see also page
21).
Otherwise, any attempt to play DVD may
cause such a high level of noise that it may
be harmful to your ears and damage your
speakers.
■CD´s can be played as they would normally be
played.
Notes:
■Some first generation DTS decoders which do
not support DVD-DTS interface may not work
properly with the DVD/CD player.

Dolby Digital and DTS
Both Dolby Digital and DTS are audio formats
used to record 5.1-channel audio signals onto
the digital track of film. Both of these formats
provide six separate channels: left, right, center,
left rear, right rear, and common subwoofer.
Remember, that Dolby Digital or DTS will only
play 5.1-channel sound if you’ve connected the
optical or coaxial output of the DVD 20 to a DTS
or Dolby Digital receiver or decoder (see page
11) and if the disc was recorded in the Dolby
Digital or DTS format.
