Connection to a DVD player/recorder
As well as being connected directly to your PC,
the Concept E 100/200/300/400 can also be
connected straight to a DVD player/recorder. It
allows you to create a complete home cinema
sound system with just two audio appliances!
To control the set directly via a DVD player, the
player/recorder must have an integrated Dolby
Digital/DTS decoder. This type of equipment can
often be recognised by the fact that the DVD
player has an analogue 5.1 cinch output at the
back (6 cinch jacks for front R/L, rear R/L, cen-
tre and subwoofer). The DVD player/recorder is
connected directly to the subwoofer with three
stereo cinch cables, from the 5.1 cinch outputs
of the DVD player to the 5.1 cinch inputs of the
subwoofer.
Connecting the speakers to a Decoderstation
The speakers are connected to a Decodersta-
tion in the same way as they are connected to
a DVD player. Please refer to the Decoderstation
manual.
Connecting the Concept E to a
DVD player/recorder without
5.1 analogue outputs
Even if your DVD player/recorder
does not have a decoder or six
analogue cinch outputs, you
can still use the Concept E
successfully.
Connect the stereo output of
your appliance using a stereo
cinch cable with the front input
“In R/L” on the subwoofer.
The front loudspeakers are
responsible for stereo signal re-
production. The centre generates
an addition of the right and left
channel of the stereo signal. The
rear loudspeaker is responsible
for the subtraction of the right
and left stereo signal. This
means that if the right and left
signal are identical, the rear
loudspeaker will reproduce little
to no signal at all. The subwoofer
transmits the bass signals from
the left and right channel. This
admittedly does not sound as
perfect as Dolby Digital, but does
sound better than pure stereo
reproduction. You will also be
able to use your speakers using
an AV receiver/amplier or Teufel
decoder later, allowing you to
experience the pleasure of Dolby
Digital and DTS.
DVD player settings are descri-
bed in detail on page 15.
