DVD5 and AV2 5 Product Introduction This manual covers installation and operation of the DVD5 DVD player and the AV2 audio processor. Both products are fundamentally straightforward in use, however their versatility and comprehensive functionality mean that a little time spent reading will help ensure problem-free use. The DVD5 section of the manual covers use of the player as a stand-alone product as well as when connected to and integrated with an AV2.
DVD5 6 DVD5 Media, Outputs and Connections 7 DVD5 Setup 6.1 DVD5 Media Once connected to a display and audio system the DVD5 must be set up appropriately before use. The DVD5 supports NTSC and PAL DVD, “Red Book” Audio CD, DVD-A Stereo, DVD±R, DVD±RW, CD-R, CD-RW and copy protected Audio Discs. With the addition of the Multi-channel Card upgrade DVD-A multi-channel is also supported. The player will switch on initially in standby mode with a flashing display indicator.
DVD5 7.2 On Screen Display and Interface Once the initial video options are set, the remaining DVD5 setup options must be set from the remote handset using the On Screen Display. To begin the setup procedure insert a DVD and, after waiting for the player to read the disc contents, press the remote handset setup key. The top level setup menu will be displayed with the upper left option selected. To navigate through the top level and second level menus use the handset up (5) and down (6) keys.
DVD5 7.5 Video Setup Selection of Video Setup from the top level menu generates a second level menu comprising the options listed below. 7.5.1 Output Format Selects between NTSC, PAL and auto (disc dependent) video output. This menu overrides the initial video set up option selected in Section 7.1.1. The selection of NTSC, PAL or auto depends on the capability of the display device connected and the choice between Interlaced and Progressive Scan video.
DVD5 7.6.2 Motion Compensation Motion Compensation is a function of progressive scan video processing that overcomes the visible artifacts that can result when interlaced video data (see Section 14) is de-interlaced for conversion to progressive scan. If a video scene contains elements in motion, the two fields of an interlaced image cannot simply be combined for progressive scan as the time delay between the fields will result in visible distortion of the moving image - it will appear jagged.
DVD5 7.7.4 Pro Logic II Options 7.8.1 Speaker Size Note: Function only available with AV2 connected. Note: Function only available with McC installed or AV2 connected. Selection of Pro Logic II Options provides adjustment of the Panorama, Centre Width and Dimension parameters. Selection of Speaker Size enables the size of each speaker to be defined. Generally a “small” speaker is an element of a matched satellite/sub-woofer package, while a “large” speaker is a stand-alone full-range type.
DVD5 8 DVD5 Operation 7.9.2 Change Pass Code Enter a new pass code if you wish to change the existing one. Ensure you keep a record of the new pass code. 7.9.3 Parental Control Select either enable or disable. With Parental Control enabled, the Parental Control options defined in the following two menu stages are operational. Parental Control disabled switches off all restricted access features. Once all the system setup options described in Section 7 are selected the DVD5 is ready for use.
DVD5 8.1.9 Slow Forward/Reverse (DVDs only) Handset Only: Press the slow key once for half speed playback followed by the ffwd (8) and frwd (7) keys to select further slow forward or reverse speed options. 8.1.10 Drawer Open and Close Front Panel: To open the drawer press the stop button when the player is stopped. When open, press the stop or play buttons to close the drawer. Handset: Press the open key to open or close the drawer, or the play or stop keys to close the drawer. 8.1.
DVD5 9 DVD5/AV2 Integration 10 NARCOM DV Handset To operate as an integrated unit a DVD5 and AV2 must be connected together via an interface cable in addition to the appropriate signal cable. Connection of the interface cable is illustrated in Section 11.2 The NARCOM DV is a dedicated remote handset for the DVD5 and AV2. It will also operate the core functions of a Naim CD player, pre-amplifier or integrated amplifier.

In RGB and YPbPr modes the sync pulses are added to the Green (G) signal or Luminance (Y) signal in YPbPr mode. The following list of typical problems, and their solution may help smooth DVD5 installation. Green tint to image. The player is set to YPbPr mode and the display is set to RGB mode.
14 Video Formats Explained In the early days of domestic video and home theatre the issue of different video formats and interfaces did not really arise. There was only one way of connecting a VCR to a TV - via the aerial cable. However the growth in domestic high quality video, along with the introduction of widescreen and non-CRT displays has meant that video interface issues, once of concern only to professionals, have become significant in domestic systems.
14.2.7 High Definition Progressive Scan RGBHV (5 x BNC, analogue) A second RGB/BNC interface provides the highest potential video quality from an analogue signal. RGBHV is a five channel interface with separate horizontal and vertical timing signals again selectable via the video setup menu. Connecting to a display with each signal element carried separately reduces to a minimum the necessity for downstream signal processing and potentially provides another step up in video quality.
AV2 15 AV2 Basics and Quick Setup Installation of the AV2 requires two setup routines to be carried out - input setup and speaker setup. These routines configure the AV2 for the source equipment and loudspeakers it is to be used with and specify some signal decoding options. Some parameters depend on the state in which the AV2 was last switched off so setup may be simplified if the AV2 is returned to its setup defaults. See Section 21 for notes on restoring setup defaults. 15.
AV2 15.3 Speaker Setup Routine To enter setup mode. Handset: Press menu followed by mode5. Front panel: Press and hold mode. To scroll up or down parameter list. Handset: Press 25 or 86. Front panel: press input or mode. To Adjust setting. Handset: press 34 or 64. Front panel: rotate rotary control.
AV2 16 AV2 Inputs and Interfaces The AV2 has a total of ten audio inputs: six stereo analogue and four digital. The analogue inputs are connected through a combination of DIN and phono sockets while two digital inputs are connected through optical “TosLink” sockets and two through coaxial phono sockets. A remote control RC5 input is also fitted to enable remote control handset commands to be relayed to the AV2. This feature provides enhanced multi-room or concealed installation flexibility.

AV2 Note: Any three inputs can have a user-defined label of up to seven characters stored. To define a user label, first select the input to be named, say AN1-CO2, ensuring that it is set to its default label, then press and hold either the handset OSD key or both the front panel input and mode buttons. A line of seven dashes will appear in the display. Using the front panel input and mode buttons and the rotary control replace each dash with the desired letter or symbol.
AV2 18.2 Speaker Setup Routine The Speaker Setup routine defines the presence and size of the speakers connected to the main, centre, surround, extra rear and sub-woofer outputs, their distance from the listening position, and allows their relative volumes to be adjusted. To switch the AV2 into Speaker Setup mode press the handset menu key followed by the mode5 key (front panel: press and hold mode button). Note: Some parameters in the speaker setup routine are interrelated.
AV2 When using an active sub-woofer the adjustment level for the subwoofer output on the AV2 should be set somewhere between the maximum and minimum settings needed for the other loudspeakers in the system. The volume control on the sub-woofer itself should then be adjusted to give the best results. There is a similar requirement when setting the main left and right speaker levels if the AV2 is integrated into a conventional stereo system.
AV2 19.3 Channel Schemes and Speakers Note: The channel scheme displayed by the AV2 for auto decoding of digital material may depend on the specific scheme encoded within the material. Schemes other than those shown in the table above are possible. Channel schemes describe the speakers employed by each decode mode. They are expressed by terms such as “5.1” or “3/2.1” Taking 5.1 as an example, the “5” refers to the number of conventional speaker channels and the “.1” refers to a subwoofer. In 3/2.
