The processor can be either placed on a table or rack
mounted. A rack mounting installation kit is available.
Securely mount the side rack brackets with the
screws that are provided with the kit.
3. YPrPb/RGBs Input (BNC): 480i and HDTV
scan rates are sent to the internal processor
and then output at the selected scan rate. If
the output is set to analog RGBHV or digital
DVI, the unit will automatically trancode the
YPrPb HDTV to RGBHV.
Ventilation
The unit uses convection to cool. A fan is not
needed. As hot air raises out of the side vent, cool air
is drawn in from the bottom. These vents must not
be blocked. When rack mounted, a minimum of
1.75” (1 rack unit height) of free space is required
above and below the unit to allow for proper cooling.
A forced air fan should be added to the rack
Note on DVDs: For proper aspect ratio and to

Connecting HDTV Satellite Receivers
Since HDTV ready satellite receivers offer different
signal types, they require special attention for
connection to the processor. Every receiver is
different so be sure to consult the receivers manual
for details. For this manual, we will assume the
receiver being used operates as follows:
HDTV Cross-Conversion
The DVP1500 can cross-convert 480p,1080i and
720p HDTV signals to the selected output of the
processor. Any HDTV signal connected to the YPrPb
BNC or DVI inputs will be cross-converted. Any
HDTV or PC signal connected to the D15 input will be
passed-through without processing. PC signals via
the DVI input will be sent to the pass-through.
1. Non HDTV material is output from the receiver
via an S-video connection
2. HDTV material is output via YPrPb outputs
3. If available, HDTV material is also output via a
DVI connector.

not be stored and the previous settings will be recalled
the next time that input is used.

Note: It is best to set Brightness and Contrast levels
using the controls of the display with the proper test
pattern and with the DVP1500 in the Factory default
setting for the initial setup. This means with day-to-day
use, when the Factory preset button is pressed, the
system is back to the original optimum settings, while
changes made for specific sources can be saved in the
custom Presets.

Note: The Detail circuit is a powerful tool for image
quality. The settings have been optimized for the output
scan rate and resolution. However, the viewer’s tastes
plus the types of software and display require making
adjustments of this setting to fine-tune the image. This
control is very effective to increase detail in poor quality
video material. It is recommended that adjustments be
made in small increments until the desired results are
achieved and then store these custom settings in the
Presets. It is important to not use too much Detail as the
image will start to look artificial.
Typically, digital displays will need less detail than analog
displays. High quality software will need less detail than
poor quality ones. Reducing the Detail level can help to
reduce the visibility of MPEG artifacts on some DVDs
and satellite systems and noise with VHS tapes. The
best results are achieved by adjusting the levels to the
software being viewed instead of just using test patterns.
TOP
Use these commands to adjust the image position and
edge blanking. It is recommended to adjust sizing,
position and blanking in the display device first with the
DVP1500 in the Factory preset setting. Then use the
DVP1500 controls only if the display runs out of range or
does not offer these controls. This should be done by a
qualified technician.
Horizontal Position
25 default
Moves image left or right of center.
Vertical Position
25 default
Moves image up or down from center.
Advanced Color System
Normal (default) /Bypass
Note: Moving the image too far to the left or right can
cause the display to stop working. Move image to center
to correct. Use the positioning controls in the display
first– if available. H&V adjustments are not availabel
when using the DVI output. Also, many display devices
require a specific setting when using high scan rate
sources such as the DVP1500 or HDTV. Be sure to
completely read the installation manual for the display
device before making adjustments.
For some DVDs with computer animation or with very
high levels of color, the Faroudja patented chroma edge
processing circuits may not be needed and can be
turned off (Bypass). For most sources, the Normal
setting should be selected. These settings can be stored
as a User Preset.

This adjusts the blanking from black to white. This
can be used to create a gray side bar for use with 4:3
aspect ratio sources on wideangle screens to help
reduce the chance of image burn-in. Image burn in is
not covered by Faroudja’s warrantee.
Note: The DVP1500 will store unique blanking and
H&V position settings for each aspect ratio which are
automatically stored and recalled when the different
aspect ratios are selected
Patterns Menu
The best approach to system setup is to use a DVD
that offers the proper test patterns. This way, the
system is aligned for the entire signal path. If a test
DVD is not available, then use the internal test
patterns provided in the DVP1500.
Note: The test pattern generator in the DVP1500 is
set to SMPTE standards. To insure proper output
levels for display setup, the picture controls in the
DVP1500 cannot be accessed when the test patterns
are being used. Adjust levels, if needed, in the
display device.

Notes
• Noise is output if you make digital audio connections to a
receiver or amplifier that does not have a built-in decoder.
Check that the digital audio output format selected in the
Audio 1 menu corresponds to the audio components you
have made connections to (
).
• The TV screen size is factory set to present the wide
screen format (16:9 aspect ratio). If you have a standard TV
screen (4:3 aspect ratio), this setting can be changed to
match your TV screen size in the Video 1 menu (
).
When an operation is prohibited
There are times when you are using the player and attempt to
perform an operation, but for some reason it cannot be
performed. When this occurs, one of the two following icons
appears on the screen.
Before you can start to enjoy the digital audio and video
on DVDs, be sure that you have either performed the
Setup Navigator procedure described in the previous
section or made the necessary settings in the Setup
screen menus as outlined in the next section to set up
the player to correspond to your home system. Having
made these settings, you are now ready to start using
the player to enjoy DVDs, Super VCDs/Video CDs, CDs
and MP3s.
