INSTRUCTIONS
The DVP1500 requires only a few adjustments to
be set for proper operation. However, since the
processor must be integrated with a display device,
and the settings on one will affect the other, careful
attention must be made to the settings on both
products.
CONNECTIONS
Read the complete Owner’s Manual for the DVP1500
before installation.
Also review the owner’s manual of the display. Most
display devices require specific settings to properly
integrate with an external processor.
Be sure to connect all sources to the proper inputs of
the DVP1500.
Note on DVDs: For proper aspect ratio and to insure
the highest quality image from the DVD player, be
sure to set the DVD screen shape to 16:9 in the DVD
player's Setup menu. See the DVD player's owner's
manual for details
Connect the proper cables from the output of the
DVP1500 to the display device. Be sure the cables
are not crossed.
DVP1500 SETUP
• Plug the processor into the wall power.
The unit will go through initialization identifying
the output resolution.
• Press the Setup key on the front panel to
access the Setup menu.
• Select Digital (DVI) or Analog (BNCs) output
• Select output type when using the analog
output. RGBHV is recommended.
• Select the proper output scan rate.
• Composite Sync on H should be Off.
• Select the screen shape of your display.
DISPLAY POSITION AND
ALIGNMENT
The next step in the setup procedure is to align the
display device to the processor. Be sure to follow all
directions for setting up the display found in the
display’s manual. Using a test DVD with the Safe
Area test pattern, align the image size, position and
blanking first using the controls found in the display
device. Only use these controls in the DVP1500 if the
display device does not offer these controls or if there
is not enough range.
SETTING DISPLAY PROFILES
The DVP1500 stores up to eight profiles. Each profile
stored contains all the settings for the unit at the time
the information was stored. This allows the installer
to store scan rates, screen shapes, etc. for multiple
displays that may be using in the theater. Store the
current settings by selecting the profile number (1-8)
in the OSD and then hit Store on the remote. See the
manual for more details.
IMAGE ALIGNMENT
The final step is optimizing the image. Use a test
pattern DVD to optimize the display and processor.
Set the brightness and contrast using the controls in
the display.
Adjust the gray scale of the display using the color
temperature controls in the display.
Reduce the detail or sharpness control in the display
to 0 or 1 ( if available).
Using video material, adjust the Detail on the
DVP1500. Use of the Detail circuit is affected by the
quality of the material being viewed. High quality
sources need a lower Detail setting. DVDs or satellite
sources that are poor quality (compression artifacts)
can be cleaned up by reducing the detail level. Low
bandwidth sources such as VHS can be improved by
increasing the detail. Customized settings can be
stored as Profiles.
