• Remove the battery compartment cover.
• Load the two AAA batteries into the battery compartment. Position the + and –
symbols on the batteries in the same orientation as the image of the batteries on
the compartment.

System Connections
Caution: Do NOT connect the AC power plug to the wall outlet before
completing system connections.
Do not connect the Bravo D1 Audio Out jack to the Phono In jack of your
audio system.
There are a number of ways to connect the Bravo D1 to an AV system, depending on the type of
TV and other components in the system. Whichever method you use, be sure to set the TV to
the correct video input type and channel (if required).
Refer to the manuals of your TV, VCR, stereo system and other devices as necessary to make the
best connections. For the best possible sound reproduction, connect the Bravo D1 Audio Out
jacks to the Audio In jacks of your amplifier, receiver, stereo or audio/video equipment. See the
section entitled, “Connecting to Optional Equipment”.
Connect the video output of the Bravo D1 directly to your TV. Connecting the Bravo D1 to your
TV via a VCR may result in distorted images because of DVD copy protection systems.
TV Connections
Composite
1. Using the Composite Video cable with the yellow RCA plug on each end, connect one
RCA plug to the Composite Video Out (yellow) connector on the Bravo D1 and the other
RCA plug to the Video In connector (A) on the TV.
2. Using the Audio cable with one red and one white RCA plug on each end, at one end of
the cable connect the red RCA plug to the Right Audio Out (red) connector and connect
the white RCA plug to the Left Audio Out (white) connector of the Bravo D1. Connect the
opposite end of the cable to the Right and Left (red and white) Audio In connectors on
the TV.

Bravo D1 and the other 4-Pin DIN to the S-Video in on the TV.
2. Using the Audio cable with one red and one white RCA plug on each end, at one end of
the cable connect the red RCA plug to the Right Audio Out (red) connector and connect
the white RCA plug to the Left Audio Out (white) connector of the Bravo D1. Connect the
opposite end of the cable to the Right and Left (red and white) Audio In connectors on

Component (YPbPr)
Component video (YPbPr) is used for Progressive Scan output and this gives a flicker-free
image that gives the most significant improvement with the film-based and video-based
content that is on a DVD. To enjoy the full potential possible with this Progressive Scan
DVD player, a Progressive Scan TV is required.
This DVD player has Progressive Scan conversion with 3:2 pull down for film-based
content making it possible to double the vertical resolution of the picture to 480 lines
(480p) every time the picture is refreshed (1/60th of a second). This 3:2 pull down
removes the “jerkiness” that is seen with simple scan doubling and so greatly improves
the smooth transition of moving images, especially during slow motion mode.

1. Use a Component Video cable that has 3x RCA plugs at each end, one for Y (green), one
for Pb (blue) and one for Pr (red). At one end of the cable connect one Y RCA plug to
the Y (green) connector on the Bravo D1, one Pb RCA plug to the Pb (blue) connector on
the Bravo D1 and one Pr RCA plug to the Pr (red) connector on the Bravo D1. Take the
other end of the cable and connect the Y (green), Pb (blue) and Pr (red) plugs to the
corresponding Progressive Scan inputs on the TV.
2. Using the Audio cable with one red and one white RCA plug on each end, at one end of
the cable connect the red RCA plug to the Right Audio Out (red) connector and connect
the white RCA plug to the Left Audio Out (white) connector of the Bravo D1. Connect the
opposite end of the cable to the Right and Left (red and white) Audio In connectors on
the TV.

Note: Copy protection on some PAL DVDs may prevent progressive scan output.
DVI (Digital Video)
The DVD contains the information in the digital domain and this digital information is read from
the disc by the Bravo D1, processed in the digital domain and output to the DVI connector in the
digital domain. There is no point in the process where the information is converted to the analog
domain, making available on the DVI output the display signal that is essentially the same as that
contained on the DVD. DVI is used for the true digital output and this gives the purest digital
picture on a true digital display such as the Vizio P4, 46” Plasma TV from V, Inc.
Using a DVI cable plug one end into the DVI connector on the Bravo D1 making sure it is
properly oriented. If you attempt the force the DVI plug into the connector incorrectly, you may
damage the plug and/or the connector. Take the other end of the cable and plug it into the DVI
connector on your display.

Audio System Connections
Amplifier with two-channel analog stereo or Dolby Surround
Amplifier with two channel digital stereo (PCM) or
A/V receiver with multi-channel decoder (Dolby Digital/MPEG-2/DTS)
The digital multi-channel connection provides the best sound quality. It requires a multi-channel
A/V receiver that supports one or more of the audio formats supported by the Bravo D1 (MPEG-
2, Dolby Digital and DTS). Check the receiver manual and the logos on the front of the receiver
for compatibility with these formats.
Six channel Digital Surround Sound via the digital connection is possible only if your receiver has
a digital multi-channel decoder.
To see the selected audio format of the current DVD press Audio key on the Remote Control.
If the digital output’s audio format does not match receiver capabilities, the receiver produces a
strong, distorted sound or no sound at all.
Caution: Selecting the DTS audio
stream automatically enables DTS
digital video output due to licensing
restrictions.
