Installation Using the unit for the first time Safety notes This chapter describes all the matters of fundamental importance for setting up and operating your DVD player. This information is not relevant to your daily handling of the system, but should still be read and noted carefully before using the machine for the first time.
Back panel connections MAIN ANALOG OUT DIGITAL OUT SURROUND The analogue output of the DVD video player supplies a fixed-level output signal. It is designed for connection to a pre-amplifier, integrated amplifier or receiver with its own volume control. Optical digital output for connecting a digital surround decoder. Co-axial digital output for connecting a digital surround decoder. Please be sure to use high-quality 75 Ω cable with Cinch connectors.
RLINK 2nd ADDR. Toggle switch for the selection of the remote control address of this device within a -RLINK system. Note: If no CD player is operated within the 'R' system, the 'RLINK 2nd ADDR.' switch of the DVD 1235 R should be configured to the additonal CD address (position switch position = 'CD') In this case the stereo output should be connected to the CD input of the pre- or integrated amplifier.
Setting Up the DVD 1235 R Carefully unpack the DVD 1235 R and store the original packing materials carefully. The carton and packing are specially designed for this unit and will be needed again if you wish to move the equipment at any time. Please be sure to read the safety notes in these instructions.

Wiring Notes on wiring • You will find wiring diagrams on the following pages. • Make all connections as shown in the wiring diagrams. • Push all connectors firmly into their sockets. Loose connections can cause humming and other unwanted noises. • Please also make all necessary adjustments like input assignments etc. on your surround amplifier or surround receiver. • Deploy the mains and loudspeaker cables and the RLINK lead as far as possible from signal interconnects and aerial leads.

Safety notes All components used in this device meet the current German and European safety norms and standards. For your own safety please be sure to read right through these operating instructions. It is especially important to observe the safety notes and the instructions regarding setting up and operating the equipment. This device should never be used without proper supervision. The machine should be set up well out of the reach of small children. This applies to all electrical equipment.
Approved usage Device approval and conformity with EC directives This device is designed exclusively for reproducing sound and/or pictures in the domestic environment. It must be operated in a dry indoor room which meets all the recommendations stated in these instructions.
Explanation of terms, useful information DVDs can be recognised by the logo shown here. Video CDs (VCD) can be recognised by the logo shown here. They also provide digital picture and sound information, but their lower storage capacity means that they do not quite attain the quality of DVDs. DVDs have a very high storage capacity, and offer top-quality picture and sound reproduction.
CD Camera angle A Compact Disc (CD) is a digital data medium that requires a little care in handling: Many DVDs and VCDs contain scenes which were recorded using different camera view angles. When such a disc is played back, the screen displays a symbol which indicates the number of available angles (e. g. 7) and the currently selected angle (e. g. 3). The DVD 1235 R can easily be switched to any of the different camera viewing angles. • The surface of a CD may only be cleaned using a soft, dry cloth.
Technical description OVERSAMPLING OVS 1 (short FIR filter) The audio data on CDs and DVDs is stored at a sampling rate of 44.1 or 48 kHz - i. e. for each second of music 44.100 or 48.000 sampled values are available for each channel. In the DVD 1235 R the audio data read from the DVD or CD is „multiplied“ to a higher sampling rate (384 kHz) before it is converted back into analogue music signals.
SACD Operation Standard OVS CD/DVD and SACD discs have a totally different data structure. This filter introduces a slight limitation of the high frequency bandwidth. It is suited for most amplifier / speaker systems. For a CD or DVD recording the analogue signal is sampled at a high rate (44.100 or 48.000 samples / second). The audio signals have to be bandwidth limited before the sampling process to get rid of signal components above 20 kHz because these could not be correctly digitized.
Trouble-shooting Many problems have a simple cause and a correspondingly simple solution. The following section describes a few difficulties you may encounter, and the measures you need to take to cure them. If you find it impossible to solve a problem with the help of these notes, please disconnect the unit from the mains and ask your authorised specialist dealer for advice. Problem: Machine does not switch on (green LED stays dark).
Problem: Surround decoder / receiver fails to recognise digital surround programs (Dolby Digital or dts). Cause: The digital output of the DVD 1235 R is wrongly configured (PCM instead of ALL). Remedy: Set the digital output to the correct ALL setting (see 'Basic device settings'). Problem: After removing the disc the machine fails to return to the Start screen. Cause: The program may be waiting for a further disc. Remedy: Insert the next disc.
Problem: Cause: If the DVD 1235 R is connected to a TV set directly using a SCART lead, this can result in a scrolling DVD picture appearing on all programme memories. This problem may occur with many types of TV. The TV set is analysing the A/V switching signal from the DVD player incorrectly, or not at all. Remedy 1: If possible, call up the Setup menu for your TV set and switch off RGB priority. Select the RGB signal type for the DVD SCART input of your TV set.
