DVD module
The DVD Module MK4 (1.551.083.06/07
SCART / Cinch version) has been
developed for use in the M51 MK2 (from
serial number 4000) and particularly
supports the M51 MK2 DVD drive.
Earlier M51 generations cannot be
operated with this DVD module.
The DVD module from Revox is the
audio-visual interface between DVD
drive, video components and the M51.
The high quality DVD drive transmits the
digital data to the STDV board and/or
the DVD module. Here, they are
converted with 24-bit accuracy into an
analogue signal. This then either fed
directly through the ultralinear path to
the outputs or transferred as a digital
signal to the Decoder module, which
handles the conversion to a 5:1 multi-
channel format.
In addition, the DVD plug-in card
creates the connection to the video
components through a fully switched
SCART socket, which delivers all
commonly-used picture formats, even
the high quality YUV (Y Cr Cb)
component signal. The DVD module is
also available optionally as a Cinch
version.
Perfect picture – DVS Module
Together with the M51 (from SN 4000),
the new DVD MK4 module offers you
for the option to support a DVS
module. This DVS module is a Digital
Video Sclaer that transfers the digital
video data perfectly, directly from the
DVD drive to a digital picture output
device, e.g. the Re:ception 42 HD
Plasma TV from Revox, with HDMI
interface. The DVS module is installed
parallel to the DVD module in Slot 4.
Important – Read-in time
When a disc is inserted into the M51
MK2 drive, it first carries out a surface
and data scan before it starts to play.
Additionally, folders and file structures
are analysed in the case of MP3 and
JPG discs.
For this reason, depending on the
number of tracks, the read-in time can
take up to 15 seconds before the disc
starts to play.
Within the plug-in modules, the DVD
module has a special role to play. As it
forms the audio-visual interface, it is not
possible to operate the integrated DVD
player without the DVD card being
present.

Installation
The DVD plug-in card has the most
modern technology on it and should be
handled with care.
Before you start to install the card, the
M51 must be switched off and the
power plug must be removed from the
power socket.
Slot 3 is reserved for the DVD module,
the third slot from the right viewed
from the back of the unit.
Loosen the two screws with the TORX
screwdriver supplied and remove the
slot blanking plate.
Before removing the DVD module from
its packaging, make sure that you are
not charged with any static electricity.
This could cause a damaging power
discharge when you touch the module.
To be on the safe side, you should
discharge any static from yourself by
touching an earthed metal object such
as a radiator.
Remove the DVD module from its
packaging and insert it into the slot
position, using the two tracks within
the M51 to guide it into position. The
lettering on the card must be at the
top. Just before the card is fully
inserted, you will feel a certain
mechanical resistance as the card
meets the M51 contact strip. Push the
card fully home by pushing in the area
where the 2 screw holes are located
and fix it in place with the two screws.
All further steps needed to integrate
the new module into the M51 will be
carried out automatically next time the
unit is switched on.

SCART connection panel
The DVD module is available with two
different back panels.
The standard module represents a fully
switched SCART version.
SCART connection
All commonly used video and audio
formats can be handled through the
SCART connector (marked as AV-Link).
The pin assignments conform to the
international SCART standard.
The DVD module can be connected to
your television, video recorder or other
video components using the SCART to
SCART cable supplied.
You can of course also operate a
plasma screen of a video projector
through the SCART connector. If these
devices don’t have a SCART input, you
can obtain the corresponding cable or
adapter directly from Revox or from
you nearest specialist dealer.

As well as the video and audio signals,
the SCART output also supplies the
control signals for the optional M300
video switch, which allows you to
control a further 6 video/audio sources
through your M51.
For further information, please refer to
Page 7-9.

Digital output
The digital audio signal can be taken
from the optical digital output DIGITAL
OUT using a fibre optic cable. This
connection is often referred as TOS-
Link. This signal can be used for an
external decoder or for digital
recording devices such as MiniDISC
and DAT players.
With normal audio CDs, you get a
digital stereo signal (SPDIFF).
With DVD replay, there is a 5.1 signal
at the digital output that is only
suitable for decoders.

Unlike analogue music signals, the
digital signal can transmit several
music channels in one cable. For this
reason, only one cable per device is
needed for a stereo or multi-channel
transmission with the DIGITAL-OUT
output.

RCA plug connection panel
A RCA plug version is also available,
which outputs the audio and video
components individually through RCA
sockets.
RCA connections
The following video output signals can
be handled through the RCA sockets:
Y : CVBS-Video (FBAS)
Y/C : S-Video (S-VHS)
Y/Cb/Cr : Component signal
As well as video signals, audio signals
are also output individually:
Audio OUT : L + R
Audio signal for sound output from the
CD/DVD source to the television
speaker or for external recording
purposes.
Audio IN : L + R
Audio signal input, e.g. television
sound, which can be replayed through
the M51 TV source.
Digital Out
Using the optical digital output
DIGITAL OUT (TOS-Link socket), the
CD/DVD sound can be transferred to
external devices, e.g. digital recorders.
to M301
Control cable connection for the M301
video switch. Further information can

Video switch principle
A separately available video switch
can be connected to both the SCART
version and the RCA plug version of
the DVD module.
Essentially, the M300/M301 video
switch is a set of external connections
where different video output and
different recording devices can be
connected.
For the SCART version, you need the
M300 video switch and for the RCA
plug version, you need the M301.
These two versions differ from each
other through the way they are
connected to the DVD module. The
connections for the video devices and
the monitor outputs are the same.
Connecting a video switch adds an
additional 6 video sources (Video 1...6)
to the M51 Source menu.
The M51 takes over the complete
control of the video switch.
The audio signal from the video
sources attached is transmitted by the
M51 whereas the picture signal is
handled by the video devices attached,
such as TV, video projector, etc.
The following two pages give you an
overview of the connection options.
Optional M301 Video switch (RCA plug version)
