Preparing the combination unit for operation

Remote control

1 Open the battery compartment on the back of the remote control and remove the cover of the battery comparment.

2 Now put in two batteries type AAA/LR 03 (round cells, not included in the scope of supply) into the battery compartment. Take care that the batteries are inserted with the correct polarity.

3 Put the cover of the battery compartment back on to the back of the remote control.

Replacing the batteries:

Connecting the combination unit to a television

After having set up the combination unit, you can now connect it to a television. The combination unit can be connected to a television with PAL, NTSC and SECAM television standards.

If you would like to use the combination unit with a television with

• NTSC standard, then you have to change the video settings of the combination unit. This can be done in the so-called OSD menu of the combination unit. There you will find that PAL has been set by the factory as the television standard.

• SECAM standard, then you do not have to make any changes to the settings in the OSD menu. The settings for the PAL standard also enable the combination unit to be operated with SECAM television sets. However to do this, SECAM televisions sets must be able to process

PAL signals.

If the combination unit cannot be operated properly with the remote control or does not work at all, the batteries must be replaced.

Always replace both batteries, in order to be able to use the remote control at full capacity again.

Note:

Used batteries may not be disposed of in household waste. Throw away used batteries at a waste collection or disposal point or there, where you bought the batteries.

If you should want to dispose of the remote control of the combination unit itself, then you have to remove the batteries beforehand!

Note

To guarantee that the remote control works perfectly:

• Always point the remote control at the combination unit

• Ensure that there are no obstacles between the remote control and the combination unit, which prevent reception

• Do not move more than 5 meters away from the combination unit when using the remote control

Otherwise disturbances can arise when operating the combination unit with the remote control.

Depending on the type of television, there are different possibilities of connecting the combination unit to it:

Connecting to a television by means of a scart cable/RGB

Note:

The best quality connection is achieved by connecting the combination unit to the television by means of a scart cable via the RGB input. Choose this connection variant if the television has an RGB input. If you are not sure, check this by looking at the operating instructions of the television.

To connect the combination unit to a television by means of a scart cable:

1 Plug the supplied scart cable into the scart jack of the combination unit.

2 Plug the other end of the scart cable into the scart jack of the television.

3 Set the television to RGB mode in the AV channel. If you are not sure how to carry out this setting, then consult the operating instructions of the television.

Also look at the chapter “Setting video output” for more information on this subject.

KH 2370

11

12

Connecting to a television by means of S-Video

Note:

For this connection variant, the television must have an

S-Video input and two unassigned cinch jacks.

If you are not sure whether

• the television can use S-Video, then consult the operating instructions of the television

• it has unassigned cinch jacks, then check this on the back of the television

To connect the combination unit by means of S-Video to the television:

1 Plug in the S-Video cable into the jacks labelled S-Video of the combination unit.

2 Plug in the other end of the S-Video cable in the S-Video jacks of the television.

3 Plug in one cinch cable into the AUX IN L cinch jack of the combination unit.

4 Plug in the other end of the cinch cable into the audio jack for the left channel on the television.

5 Plug in another cinch cable into the AUX IN R cinch jack of the combination unit.

6 Plug in the other end of this cinch cable into the audio jack for the right channel on the television.

7 Set the television to the AV channel, which reproduces the S-Video signal. If you are not sure how to carry out these settings, then consult the operating instructions of the television. In addition, check the operating instructions to see whether you have to carry out any further settings on the television.

Also look at the chapter “Setting video output” for more information on this subject.

Connecting to a television by means of video input (composite video)

If you would like to connect the combination unit to a television, which

• is not capable of using S-Video and

• does not have a scart jack, but has cinch jacks then connect it by means of the video input (the so-called

“composite video”–connection variant). To do this:

1 Plug in the supplied cinch cable into the video jack of the combination unit.

2 Plug in the other end of the cinch cable into the corresponding cinch jack of the television.

3 Plug in one cinch cable into the AUX IN L cinch jack of the combination unit.

4 Plug in the other end of the cinch cable into the audio jacks for the left channel on the television.

5 Plug in another cinch cable into the AUX IN R cinch jack of the combination unit.

6 Plug in the other end of this cinch cable into the audio jacks for the right channel on the television.

7 Check the operating instructions whether any other possible settings are necessary on the television.

Connecting the antenna to the combination unit:

To pick up radio stations the combination unit has

• a dipole antenna for very high frequency (VHF/FM) broadcasting stations, which is firmly mounted on the back of the combination unit and

• a loop antenna for medium wave (AM) broadcasting stations, which is part of the scope of supply. First of all you have to connect this antenna to the combination unit.

1 Lift the stand of the loop antenna, which has been folded inside, to the outside.

2 Lock the plastic clips on the loop antenna into the slits on the stand. If you can hear that the plastic clips have locked into the slit, this means that the loop antenna has to be upright.

3 Turn the combination unit around. On the back you will find a black double terminal labelled AM. Insert one lead of the antenna cables into each of the terminals. The medium wave antenna is now operational.

Connect the headphones to the combination unit

Plug in the jack plug of the headphones into the headphones jack PHONES of the combination unit.

• Version 2.0 VCDs/S-VCDs have so-called PBC (Playback

Control) functions. In addition, fixed images with higher resolution can be played back

What are titles and chapters?

The largest units of picture and sound units on DVDs are called titles; on many DVDs, the (main) film has title number 01. For bonus material (e. g. film trailers, background information etc.), which is available on many DVDs, other title numbers can possibly be used.

• the described malfunctions cannot be rectified as described or

• other malfunctions which have not been described occur.

Warning!

Never open the casing of the combination unit! The unit does not have any parts that can be maintained by the user! If the casing of the unit is opened then the guarantee expires!

The next smallest picture and sound units below titles are called chapters. If the title(s) of a DVD is(are) subdivided into chapters, then numbers are allocated to them and if these numbers are entered, then the chapters can be selected directly.

Please note that not on all DVDs

• is(are) the title(s) subdivided in (numbered) chapters

No liability/guarantee will be assumed for damages which arise from opening the casing of the unit or from trying to repair the unit and which are not carried out by specialized qualified personnel!

What are Scart, S-Video, composite video?

Scart

What are DVDs, VCDs and S-VCDs?

DVDs

DVD is the abbreviation for Digital Versatile Disc. DVDs serve to store audio and video data; they are available in 8 cm and 12 cm (diameter) formats. DVDs offer – thanks to their storage capacity which is many timer higher than CD-

Rs/CD-RWs – a playback duration of the audio and video data stored on them of up to eight hours.

VCDs/S-VCDs

Video-CD (VCD) and Super Video-CD (S-VCD) describe two methods for compressed– i.e. to save space – storage of films on CDs. VCDs and S-VCDs are available in 8 cm and

12 cm (diameter) formats. Their storage capacity is many times lower than that of DVDs. Therefore they only offer a playback duration of the audio and video data stored on

Scart describes a 21-pin standard plug-type connection through which the RGB signals, video signals and S-Video signals as well as quite a few control and additional signals are transmitted.

S-Video

When connecting a DVD player to a television via S-Video, brightness and colour signals are separated; this achieves a higher focus and a lower so-called “coloured noise”. Coloured noise is what one calls the overlaying of the coloured, mostly strongly saturated parts of a video image made by an irregular, turbulent structural disturbance.

Composite video

Video signal or FBAS signal; this is a picture signal in which both colour and brightness information is contained simultaneously.

Decoder

The sound on DVDs with home cinema surround sound is stored in a coded form on the DVD. There are different coding formats for different purposes, e. g. AC-3 to play

Dolby Digital surround sound. To be able to play coded sound, the playback unit (e. g. the combination unit) must have a so-called decoder, which transforms the coded signals back into music or sound.

SECAM

SECAM is the abbreviation for the French “système en couleur avec mémoire”. SECAM is the normal and most commonly used colour television standard in France and many

Eastern European countries.

Audio CDs

The eBench KH 2370 combination unit has an AC-3 decoder (for Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound signals).

Dolby Surround

Audio CDs only contain audio data; these are also available with 8 cm and 12 cm (diameter) formats. The playback duration of the audio data stored on them is 20 minutes

(8 cm format) and 74 minutes (12 cm format) respectively.

Audio data with CDA format are stored on audio CDs.

MP

Dolby Surround is an analog sound format whereby the two channels of a stereo sound signal are used to accommodate surround sound information for other channels.

With a Dolby Surround Decoder, the signals are transformed back into sound or music and are conducted to two additional loudspeakers, which are to be placed behind the listening position.

Dolby Prologic

MP3 describes a procedure or format to compress audio data developed by the Fraunhofer Institut. Pieces of music compressed in MP3 format only have a fraction of their original size, which allows far more music to be stored e. g. on CD-Rs/CD-RWs than on normal audio CDs, on which audio data is stored in CDA format.

JPEG

By comparison with the Dolby surround sound format, in the case of Dolby Prologic a further channel is used in the stereo signal; this is the so-called “Center” channel.

The corresponding center loudspeaker is to be placed in the centre between the stereo loudspeakers. The lowest tones are to be conducted to a low tone loudspeaker, the so-called “subwoofer”. The subwoofer can be placed at any position in the room; the reason for this is that the low tones which are emitted by the subwoofer, can scarcely be exactly located by the human ear.

Dolby Digital (5.1)

Dolby Digital, also called AC3, is a digital sound format, by which up to six separate audio channels can be transported. In the case of most of the current DVDs, the sound is stored in the so-called “Dolby Digital 5.1” format; the “5” in the description “5.1” stands for three front and two back surround sound channels, the “1” for the low tone channel.

What are PAL, NTSC and SECAM?

PAL

PAL is the abbreviation for Phase Alternation Line. PAL is in Central and Western Europe (exception: France, see abbreviation SECAM), the normal and commonly used colour television standard.

NTSC

NTSC is the abbreviation for National Television System

Committee. NTSC is a colour television standard which is used, above all, in the USA and in Japan.

JPEG (abbreviation of Joint Photographics Expert Group) describes a commonly used graphic format developed by the same named organisation, with which picture data in coloured and grey tones is compressed.

What are folders?

In contrast to audio CDs, the titles of a CD-R/CD-RW with

MP3 or JPEG files can be stored in folders, for example, to organize titles from different genres. If the MP3 files were stored in folders, then the structure of an MP3 CD can look like the following, for example:
