Introduction

Welcome to the Primare V20 DVD Player! This chapter introduces you to its key features, and explains how you can use it to take advantage of any of the video and audio formats currently available.

W E L C O M E T O T H E V 2 0 D V D P L A Y E R

The V20 provides a comprehensive range of features to make it ideal as the heart of a superb home entertainment system.

Enjoy DVD movies at their best

The Primare V20 DVD Player will show all your favorite movies in DTS, Dolby

Digital, or Dolby Pro logic surround. It supports both PAL and NTSC format, and if your television does not support both formats it can perform automatic conversion between them.

Play your existing music collection and Super CDs

The Primare V20 DVD Player can also play your entire CD music collection, as well as CDVs and 24/96 Super CDs. It will also play recordable CDs, as well as MP3 encoded music collections on CD-ROM.

No compromise design for superb sound and picture quality

The V20 DVD Player uses the best components available to ensure a troublefree operation for many years. The video color section includes an additional video buffer for outstanding picture quality, and the D/A converters and audio electronics are located on separate boards, well away from the transport and power supply electronics, for the lowest possible distortion and noise. The resulting sound quality is comparable to dedicated CD players in the same price range.

Careful mechanical design for long-life

As with all Primare units, the solid mechanical design further enhances the functionality and quality, and ensures that the V20 DVD Player will continue to provide trouble-free operation for years to come.

Intuitive user interface

In keeping with the philosophy of the Primare range of systems, the V20’s powerful range of features can be controlled through a very simple and intuitive interface, designed so that it will not distract you from the pleasure of watching movies or listening to music on your system.

In fact most of the features of the V20 can be accessed through just six front panel push buttons. Alternatively the full set of functions, including menu selection and programmability, is available using the DVD remote control supplied with the V20.

Introduction

U S I N G T H E V 2 0 W I T H O T H E R P R I M A R E P R O D U C T S

Although the V20 DVD player is flexible enough to work with virtually any other equipment you have in your system, it is ideally suited for use with the

Primare P30 Processor and Primare A30.5 multi-channel amplifier. The P30

Processor will decode the DTS or Dolby Digital output from the V20 to provide five discrete analogue outputs, and the A30.5 provides the amplification necessary to drive the five separate loudspeakers in a surround system.

To specify the TV system

DVD movies are produced in both PAL and NTSC television formats. The V20

DVD Player is capable of converting between formats, to allow you to view

DVD movies in either format even if your television is not capable of displaying that format. However the conversion process introduces some picture degradation.

If your television is capable of displaying both formats the recommended setting is AUTO, which supplies the unconverted video signal to the television.
