Welcome to the world of Cyrus!

Congratulations on your choice of Cyrus Audio-Visual products. Our state-of-the-art design technology and outstanding quality of manufacture has won countless awards around the world. We are confident that you will derive great pleasure from owning a product from one of the most recognised and respected manufacturers of audio-visual equipment.

Please read these instructions carefully before commencing installation. They provide full guidance to help you install your Cyrus DVD6 safely and correctly.

Preparations for Installation

Before installing the DVD6 check that the following items are included in the accessory box.

• Warranty Card (with instruction manual)
- AC Mains Cable
- Remote Control Handset
• 2 x Phono leads for MC-Bus connection
- SCART output cable

After removing these items, please retain the packaging.

Install the DVD6 in a well ventilated location away from sources of high temperature, dust or humidity. Never stand the DVD6 under another unit or on any surface likely to hamper its cooling or ventilation.

5.	SCART A/V output

Connecting the Video Output to a Television

The video output of the DVD6 may be connected to the television in three different ways. The choice of connection and the picture quality achieved will depend on the options available at the TV. The connections available from the DVD6 are-

AV CONNECTOR OUT socket ⑤ (SCART connection). This is the most convenient connection. The SCART connector includes both RGB and composite video signal formats. This connection will provide the best picture quality results where the television is equipped with RGB input via the SCART connection. When connecting a projector or monitor equipped with individual connectors for RGB input, a SCART breakout cable will be required.

S-Video (Y/C) connection from the S-VIDEO OUT socket ⑥. This system offers superior quality to a composite connection and should be used if the TV has no SCART input or if the SCART input does not include RGB connections.

Composite connection from the VIDEO OUT socket ⑦. If SCART or S-VIDEO connections are not available, a single phono connection may be made from this socket to the video input of the television.

Connecting Digital Audio to a Multichannel Surround Sound Decoder

For Multi-Channel surround sound systems the COAXIAL ① or OPTICAL ② digital audio outputs from the DVD6 must be connected to a suitable input of a Cyrus digital surround sound decoder.

Connecting Audio to a Stereo System

If a Surround Sound decoder is not to be used the analogue audio outputs ③ of the DVD6 may be connected to a Cyrus stereo amplifier or preamplifier. The VI or AV inputs are recommended for this.

Connecting the Audio Output to a Television

If DVD sound is required from the television, the audio output from the DVD6 may be connected to the television in two different ways. The connections available are-

SCART connection from the AV CONNECTOR OUT socket ⑤. If the SCART connector is in use for video connection, stereo audio will automatically be connected through the same cable.

Analogue audio output ③. If S-Video or composite video connections are in use to the television then a separate audio connection may be made from the audio output sockets ③.

MC-Bus System Connection (Optional)

By using the MC-Bus connection on your DVD6, a highly functional integrated system with full remote control may be set up. This feature is usable if you own a Cyrus amplifier or digital surround decoder. Refer to the relevant product handbook for MC-Bus wiring instructions.

OPERATION

Switching On

The mains power to the DVD6 should normally be left on unless left unattended for a long period when the mains power at the wall socket should be switched off or the product disconnected from the AC supply.

When power is applied, the STANDBY key ⑩ is used for power control. The Standby light ⑪ shows red when the DVD6 is in Standby and green when operational. At this time the 'CYRUS' logo will also show on the TV screen.

NOTE: If the DVD6 is set to a mode which shows a still picture or the logo screen for more than 15 minutes, the image brightness is decreased to reduce the possibility of damage to the TV screen.

Disc Compatibility

The DVD6 is compatible with DVD-Video discs, VCD Video-CDs and audio CDs. Instructions for playing each type of disc follow the next section.

NOTE: DVD-Video discs include a global ‘region’ identifier. The DVD6 will only play discs purchased in the same global region as the player. The region setting of the DVD6 is shown on a globe symbol at the rear of the player. Ensure that all discs purchased have the same region symbol as the player or are marked region 0 which will play in any global region.
