MXV4000 Remote Controlled DVD / SACD Player Owner’s Manual 1
CONTENTS INTRODUCTION................................................................................................................................................................. 2 ACCESSORIES .................................................................................................................................................................. 2 INSTALLATION AND SAFETY ..............................................................................................................................
INSTALLATION AND SAFETY This DVD player generates very little heat but still requires some ventilation. Do not place it on a rug or other soft surface into which it could sink, obstructing the air inlets in its underside. Do not allow any obstruction to block the ventilation slots in the rear panel. The DVD player should not be installed in a built-in situation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided. CAUTION: THIS APPARATUS MUST NOT BE EXPOSED TO DRIPPING OR SPLASHING.
SETTING UP YOUR SYSTEM REAR PANEL CONNECTIONS Power 1. Power Inlet The MXV4000 will operate directly from any line voltage from 100V to 240V AC, 50 or 60Hz without adjustment. Plug the female (socket) end of the power cord into the power inlet on the rear of the unit. Plug the male (plug) end of the cord into a "live" wall socket or a suitable heavy-duty extension cable. 2.
. SCAN MODE selector switch (Interlaced / Progressive) This switch selects between Interlaced (INT) and Progressive (PROG) Scan for the component video outputs only. 8. DIGITAL - COAX and OPTICAL Select PROG if your TV accepts progressive scan video. The PROG SCAN icon on the VF display will illuminate when progressive scan is set. The states of the various analogue video outputs will be as summarized in the table below.
Control inputs/outputs etc. 12. MY-LINK input/output When this DVD player is used in a system with other Myryad MX-Series products (or Z-Series), all may be joined together via My-Link. My-Link is a communications bus that allows all the linked components to operate together as a system and distributes the remote commands received by any one to each of the others.
OPERATING YOUR SYSTEM FRONT PANEL CONTROLS 4. Disc drawer 1. Standby When the MXV4000 is plugged into a live wall socket and the POWER switch is turned ON, it will power up in "standby" mode and the LED (Light Emitting Diode) in the display will glow red. In this mode most of the internal circuitry of the MXV4000 is switched off so that it consumes very little power. Only the IR receiver, MyLink and RS232 interface function in standby.
7. STOP When the STOP button is pressed the disc stops playing, and the player goes into “Resume Stop” mode – with the TV displaying “PRESS PLAY KEY TO CONTINUE” and the VF display reading “STOP”. If PLAY/PAUSE or PLAY is pressed in Resume Stop mode the disc will start playing from the same point at which STOP was pressed. A second press of STOP will put the player into STOP mode. After a short time the disc will stop spinning and the laser head will be returned to the beginning of the disc.
REMOTE CONTROL OPERATION The Myryad MSR2 System Remote handset supplied with the MXV4000 has been ergonomically designed to be easy and comfortable to use. It duplicates all the controls featured on the front panel, and has others required for setup and more advanced operation. It may also be used to control Myryad Integrated/Pre amplifiers. CD players and Tuners as described in the separate MSR2 Owner’s Manual supplied with this unit.
1. ESSENTIAL SETUP This section describes the basic system setup necessary for operation in the majority of home cinema systems. The remaining setup menu details are described in pages 17-21 For system setup a TV or monitor must be connected to one of the MXV4000’s video outputs. A composite video (CVBS) or s-video connection is recommended for initial setup because these outputs remain active with interlaced video in all modes.
DIGITAL AUDIO Choose DIGITAL AUDIO and press SEL to access the digital audio setup page. The first menu item is DIGITAL OUTPUT which selects the signal delivered to the coax and optical digital outputs (it does not affect the HDMI audio output). The parameter options are: OFF Coax and Optical digital outputs switched off. ALL All sound tracks types, PCM, Dolby Digital and DTS, sent to digital outputs.
2. PLAYING A DVD Insert a DVD disc as described on page 7. The VF display will briefly read “DVD”, followed by the default Sound Mode (see page 13) and the “DVD” icon will be illuminated. The TV screen will briefly read “DVDVIDEO” at the top, and the disc will play - usually starting with the disc menu. Use the cursor keys to select the desired feature from the disc menu, followed by SEL to confirm the selection.
2.10 MENU Press MENU to access the DVD’s menu (usually the “root” menu) if it is available. Note: The Sound Mode setting does not affect the digital audio outputs. 2.11 TITLE 2.13 ZOOM Press TITLE to access the DVD’s “Title” menu (only applies to certain multi-title discs). 2.12 SOUND MODE Press the SOUND MODE key to change the processing applied to sound tracks and delivered to the multichannel analogue outputs. A two channel (stereo) sound track (e.g.
2.18 ON SCREEN DISPLAY (“TIME” key on remote) When the TIME key is pressed the TV picture will be reduced in size and the bottom half of the TV screen will display a menu of disc play parameters as shown in the example below (only half the list is displayed at one time). MENU TITLE CHAPTER AUDIO SUBTITLE ANGLE TT TIME CH TIME REPEAT TIME DISP. BITRATE 72 IIIIIIIIIIII The navigation keys and SEL may be used to select any of these parameters and edit them.
3. PLAYING A CD 4. PLAYING AN SACD In most respects playing a CD is exactly the same as playing a DVD. This section therefore just describes the main differences in operation. The SACD (Super Audio CD) standard is based on DSD (Direct Stream Digital) technology. The DSD format is a 1-bit system that has a digital sampling frequency 64 times higher than that of conventional audio CDs. There are three types of SACD discs: single-layer, dual-layer and hybrid discs.
5. PLAYING AN MP3/WMA/ DivX/XviD/JPEG (PICTURE CD) When the disc is loaded reading time may exceed 30 seconds depending upon the complexity of the directory/file configuration.The VF display will briefly read “DATA CD” and the “CD” icon will be illuminated. Playback should start automatically but, if it does not, press PLAY. When the disc is loaded a folder display will appear on the TV so that the desired folder and track can be chosen for playback.
6. SETUP MENUS This section describes how the setup menu and its submenus can be used to customize the MXV4000 to suit individual systems and tastes. The Essential Setup section on page 10 describes how to navigate of the menus – and some of the basic setups. This section describes all parts of all the menus. 6.1 General Setup Page OSD LANGUAGE This function allows the choice of the language for the Setup Menus and On Screen Display.
6.2 The second menu item is LPCM OUTPUT which can be set to 48 or 96kHz. This only affects certain discs which have 24bit 96kHz soundtracks. Only set to 96kHz if your receiver or processor can accept 96kHz PCM inputs. Otherwise set to 48kHz and the MXV4000 will downsample to 48kHz when necessary. Audio Setup Page The default setting is 48kHz SPEAKER SETUP (5.1 ch analogue outputs only) Choose SPEAKER SETUP and press SEL to enter the Speaker Setup menu page.
SPEAKERS DELAY Choose this option and press SEL to bring up the SPEAKERS DELAY SETUP screen. The audio delays to the, CENTER, SURROUND L and SURROUND R speakers can be adjusted as necessary over the range 0 to 15 milliseconds (ms) in 1ms steps, using the and navigation keys. The correct delays can be calculated by measuring the distance from the listening position to each of the speakers.
TV DISPLAY Set this parameter to 4:3 PAN SCAN, 4:3 LETTER BOX, or 16:9 to suit the aspect ratio of your TV screen. The default setting is 4:3 PAN SCAN. ADV PICTURE The Advanced Picture settings allow fine-tuning of various video parameters. 4:3 PAN SCAN Select this if you have a normal TV. It will increase the picture height of a widescreen video to fill the screen, and selectively cut off the sides to fit your screen. This is only effective when Pan-Scan information is recorded on the disc.
TRUE LIFE (HDMI only): TrueLife™ Enhancement identifies details in an image and enhances them to make them more visible and more lifelike. The technology also enhances large edges to create greater perception of depth. This function is available for HDMI progressive scan output only (i.e. not 1080i). The range of settings is 0 - 5 and the default is 0. 6.4 Preference Setup Page This menu allows the user to set up preferred options for languages and various aspects of the user interface.
USE OF MX-700 REMOTE (as supplied with MXD4000/7000 etc.) Current Myryad digital preamp processors (models MXD4000 and MXD7000) are supplied with the Home Theater Master MX-700 Remote Control handset from Universal Remote Control Inc. (www.universalremote.com). They have their DVD page programmed (using “MX700 – Myryad Rev 1.mxf”) to control older Myryad DVD players, as described in the processors’ Owner’s Manuals.

APPENDIX 2 Glossary Analogue: Audio (or video) that has not been turned into numbers. Analogue sound is continuously variable, while digital sound has specific numerical values. Analogue audio needs a separate jack for each channel, whereas digital can carry multi-channel audio in a “bitstream” via a single jack. Aspect ratio: The ratio of vertical and horizontal dimensions of a displayed image. The horizontal vs. vertical ratio of conventional TVs is 4:3, and that of widescreens is 16:9.
