OptomaTV Projection Television Owner's Manual

Connecting a DVD Player

The RD 50/65 is equipped with state-of-the-art deinterlacing circuitry that is superior to the

technology provided in most DVD players. The recommended input for DVD players is the SD

input with DVD player output mode set to 480i.

Furthermore, please make sure the TV-type or TV aspect ratio is selected as widescreen (16:9)

on the DVD player. The TV will work fine even if the TV's aspect ratio is set to the DVD player's

default 4:3 ratio. However, the DVD player itself will output video at 33% lower resolution in 4:3

mode when playing back a 16:9 enhanced movie.

If you have a good progressive scan DVD player, you can connect the component video to

either HD1 or HD2.

If your DVD player only has an S-Video or composite video output, connect it to the AV1, AV2 or

AV3 of the TV. For better quality, only use composite video when the other options are not

available.

Connect the DVD player's analog audio output (left and right channel) to the TV's audio input for

the video source intended for DVD player.

Note

If your DVD player has 5.1 channel output and you want to use the TV speakers as central speakers, you can connect

only the central speaker output to either the left or right channel of the TV and then select mono mode on the onscreen

display menu for audio. Refer to the "Adjust the Audio" section for more details.

Once the DVD player has been properly connected and you are ready to beginning viewing your DVD program,

remember to use the remote control to select the video source connected.
