AD-703 A P E X D I G I T A L 9 Connecting to a TV using a RF Modulator Note: Not all RF Modulators are compatible with APEX Digital players. Please see our website for recommendations. Many older televisions do not have the newer component-video, composite-video, or s-video connections that optimize DVD technology. While it would be advised to purchase a newer television in order to take full advantage of the digital quality of DVD’s, it is possible to connect an older television to a DVD player. This connection requires a device called an RF modulator. First, it is necessary to ascertain whether or not your TV needs a RF modulator. Look at the back of your TV. If you see three input connectors lined up in a row, in the colors of yellow, red, and white, then you will not need an RF modulator. If you see a connector labeled "s-video", then you will not need an RF modulator. If you do not have either of these connectors, then you will need to purchase an RF modulator from the store where you purchased your Apex Digital DVD player or other home electronics retailers. Older televisions use a coaxial connection, which combines all of the video signal from an exterior source into a single line. This line is then translated by your TV into the picture you see. The RF modulator combines the output signals from the DVD player, or any other device, into the coaxial connection for use by your television. Below are written and pictoral instructions on the proper way to connect an RF modulator to your Apex DVD player and your TV. Connection 1 Connecting the TV to the DVD through the VCR Figure 1 DVD (Back) Note: Many VCRs will distort the picture of a DVD player. This is NOT a malfunction of the DVD player or VCR. All DVD manufacturers are required to install macrovision copyright ciruritry to prevent copying via VCR. This is what causes the distortion.

The coaxial cable is the onewire, metal-ended type that you screw onto the VCR. 5) Make sure your TV is set to the appropriate channel before using your DVD player. In most cases, this is channel 3 or 4. 4) Connect a coaxial cable from the "To TV" jack on the RF modulator to the jack on the back of your TV.

The unit has several types of output modes like A/V output, S-VIDEO output, digital signal output (COAXIAL). You may select as needed. CONNECTED TO A TV Be sure your TV is on the Video Input channel before you press Setup to select your settings. You will see the Setup menu on your TV screen. 1. If the TV has S-VIDEO input, please connect the unit and the TV with S-VIDEO cord (not supplied). You do not have to connect it to VIDEO. S-VIDEO will ensure clearer image. 2. You have to set the unit according to the TV to be connected. • If the system of the TV is PAL, push SYSTEM and select PAL. • If the system of the TV is NTSC, push SYSTEM and select NTSC. (NTSC is American standard.) • If the system of the TV is AUTO (multi-system), push SYSTEM and select AUTO. • Connect the unit to a wide-screen TV. Set the “TV DISPLAY” to “16:9 WIDE” in the function setting column. • Connect the unit to an ordinary TV. Set the “TV DISPLAY” to “4:3/PS” or “4:3/LB” in the function setting column. 12 A P E X D I G I T A L AD-703 Preparation Before Operation CONNECTED TO AN ORDINARY AMPLIFIER • This connection is for Analog Audio only. CONNECTED TO A RECEIVER WITH DOLBY DIGITAL/DTS DECODER AD-703 A P E X D I G I T A L 13 Preparation Before Operation CONNECT TO A RECEIVER WITH 5.1 CHANNEL SURROUND SOUND 14 A P E X D I G I T A L AD-703 Preparation Before Operation CONNECT TO A RECEIVER WITH 5.1 CHANNEL SURROUND SOUND 1. Some discs with Dolby or MPEG AUDIO recorded 5.1 channel track. When connecting a receiver with 5.1 channel input terminal and 5.1 speaker, you can enjoy more realized sound effects at home. “5 channel” means 2 front speakers (L/R), 2 rear speakers (L/R) and a center speaker. 0.1 means bass speaker output. Even if there are no 5.1 speakers, the unit will output signals to each speaker. Note: • A DVD disc with MPEG AUDIO format recorded 7.1 channel soundtrack, the output signal will be incorporated to 5.1 channel. • When uing 5.1 Channel Audio Output, set the SPDIF Output to SPDIF/RAW. 2. SPEAKER SETUP To obtain perfect surround sound, the following is recommended: a) Use high quality speakers. b) Use rear and center speakers to match with front speakers (in size and performance). c) Same distance between all speakers, between two front speakers and the listening location. d) If possible, set the bass speakers between two front speakers (L/R). Note: Distance between center speakers and listening location, and distance between rear speakers and listening location should shorter than the distance between front speakers and listening location. NOTICE • When enjoying karaoke, connect fixed Audio out to L/R jack of 5.1 channel AMP. • Do not insert the power cord to outlet or switch POWER button before finishing connections. AD-703 A P E X D I G I T A L 15 What is MP3 and VCD? WHAT IS MP3? MP3 is a compression form (like zip). The name MP3 stand for Mpeg1 Audio layer 3 and its compression algorithm is based on a complicated psycho-acoustic model. This model is based on the fact that the human ear can not hear all the audio frequencies. The human hearing range is between 20Hz to 20khz and it is most sensitive between 2 to 4 kHz. As a result the MP3 compression form is destructive, that means the compression algorithm causes the file to lose some information so that it can not be restored to its original content. When compressing an audio file (encoding) using the MP3 algorithm you can set the desired encoding level and have any compression level you want. The larger the compressed file the better the audio quality of the result. The majority of the files available on the internet are encoded in 128 kbits stereo 44kHz which results in a high quality file that is 12 times smaller than the original! This, of course, has many interesting consequences. WHAT IS VCD? Size and shape of any regular music CD with the same digital audio, plus good video capability. It is a new video format that offers exceptional high-end digital picture quality and smoothness, over an hour of playing time, full CD-quality, stereo sound, and more. Using MPEG (Motion Picture Expert Group) compression (1:30), VCD’s offer picture quality that is far superior to the Quicktime movies you see on standard VHS tape.
