TAG McLaren Audio
TAG McLaren Audio exists with one aim
in mind: to produce the very best audio and
audio-visual equipment.
dvd pla yer DVD3 2 FLR with our
a wa rd winning a v processor AV3 2 R
Like many people, I often have my best
ideas when relaxing to a piece of music or
watching a movie. For years, knowing the
technical capabilities of TAG McLaren, I
have nurtured the ambition to push music
and movie reproduction to the absolute limit
without compromising ease of use; that’s
why we formed TAG McLaren Audio.
There are many immediate spin-offs into
audio from our expertise in automotive
electronics, mechanical engineering and the
material science of Formula One motor
racing: multi-layer printed circuits, fast digital
signal processing, electronic noise
TAG McLaren’s aim is sonic perfection
combined with aesthetic delight and solid
build quality – a rare combination in hi-fi
but one which TAG McLaren Audio is
already delivering.
At the core of our development team are
highly experienced engineers whose
heritage of award-winning hi-fi and world-
beating electronic control systems is envied
by many and equalled by few.
suppression, radio frequency technology and
software expertise to name but a few, all
prerequisites of an outstanding audio product.

boundaries; TAG McLaren’s
F1 electronics

...regiona l coding
We know that you are keen to get your DVD32FLR working. This section describes the
connections required to make your DVD32FLR fully functional and have you viewing your
favourite movies as quickly as possible. Refer to page 2 for diagrams to help you find your
way around your DVD32FLR .
Regional coding has been defined by the developers of the DVD standard (the licensors) to
protect the sequential patterns of distribution for the motion picture producers’ copyrighted
works. In line with these copy protection laws, your DVD32FLR has been configured for one
of six regions (1 to 6), dependent upon the country of destination. The region of your
DVD32FLR is clearly shown on the packaging beside the mains operating voltage and
frequency, and can also be obtained from the information screen via the setup menu.
Simply press menu, 5 and a screen, similar to the one shown below, appears:

Your DVD32FLR is designed to run warm during normal operation. Please ensure that there is
adequate ventilation above and below the unit. We recommend that you do not place your
DVD32FLR near any heat sources such as radiators or in direct sunlight.
In the example above, the DVD32FLR is set to region code 2.
Do not expose your DVD32FLR to dripping or splashing liquids. Do not place
objects filled with liquid, such as vases, on or near to it.
Do not place the DVD32FLR on top of the AV32R (or other electronics), it will harm both
products because of restricted ventilation.

Your DVD32FLR has two types of digital output; Two coaxial SPDIF (called DIGITAL OUTPUT 1

Your DVD32FLR has three different types of video output; COMPONENT VIDEO(1), S-VIDEO(2)

Video, which in turn will give much better quality than Composite video. You should therefore
use the highest quality video type which your video display device or video processor can
support, and connect directly from your DVD32FLR using high quality video cables (for
example our F3-10-SVID S-Video cable or our F3-10-VID Composite/ Component cable).

system-remote
controlling the DVD32FLR
The DVD32FLR has a standby mode which can be entered by
pressing standby either on the front panel or Remote(1). The blue
power LED will be dimmed and the display switched off. Normal
operation may be resumed by pressing any button on the front
panel or Remote. You can keep the DVD32FLR in standby for long
periods of time without penalty of a high electricity bill, as the
DVD32FLR includes its own low-current standby transformer and
circuitry.
The backlit system-remote is designed to
control your complete home cinema system.
The system-remote comes preprogrammed
and ready to use for many TAG McLaren
Audio products, including the TAG
McLaren av processor AV32R, five-channel
amplifier 100x5R, three-channel amplifier
250x3R and your DVD player DVD32FLR.
Other devices which are not
preprogrammed to work with the system-
remote will need to be ‘learnt’. To program
the system-remote for other devices, you
will need the original remote control for the
unit you wish to control. Details of how to
program the system-remote are included at
the end of this manual.
Before you can control the DVD32FLR with
the system-remote you must first select DVD
as the device to control. This is done by
pressing the dvd key in the REMOTE
SELECTION area at the top of the system-
remote. The DVD32FLR will remain selected
by the Remote until another unit is chosen
via the REMOTE SELECTION area. Once the
DVD32FLR has been selected, it can be
controlled from the system-remote. A red
light on the front panel of the DVD32FLR
will flash when commands from the system-
remote are received, and the ‘DVD’ key in
the REMOTE SELECTION area will light
briefly with each key press.

ATTENTION:
If you have connected the TAGtronic Communications Bus between the DVD32FLR and the
TAG McLaren av processor AV32R, and the AV32R(1) is configured to synchronise the
DVD32FLR’s front display brightness to the AV32R’s, then your manual setting will be
overridden whenever the AV32R changes its front display brightness. The DVD32FLR can also
be configured to override the AV32R’s settings. If both products are configured to define the
display brightness, then the last change (either from the DVD32FLR or AV32R) will take
precedence.
Your DVD32FLR is regionally coded in line with
international law. If you try to play a disc of an
incompatible zone the player will refuse to play the disc, showing
‘wrong region’.

rela y sta ndby comma nds
The DVD32FLR features the Enhanced TAGtronic Communications Bus. This allows TAG
McLaren Audio products to exchange information and work seamlessly together to form an
effective, fully integrated system. The DVD32FLR(1) offers at present four configurable features:
If your video device is directly connected to
your DVD32FLR (or routed through the AV32R standby commands onto the TAGtronic Bus.
The DVD32FLR can be configured to relay
without using the output + on-screen display)
the Enhanced TAGtronic Communications Bus
can be used to convey on-screen information
from the AV32R to the DVD32FLR. When this
feature is enabled(1), on-screen information
from the AV32R is overlaid onto the video
signal in the DVD32FLR. The AV32R transmits
status messages (press ok with the AV remote
control), volume and surround information.
It does not send the setup screens of the
AV32R.
This provides a means of putting all
products into standby using a single press
of standby. Similarly, all products can be
brought out of standby using the same key.
If the DVD32FLR is configured for auto-
standby(2), then this too will cause a
standby command to be relayed on to the
bus.

Your DVD32FLR has the capability to relay remote control commands received by its IR
receiver onto the Enhanced TAGtronic Communications Bus. This is ideal when some of your
equipment is in a location that does not permit direct line of sight from the Remote and also
opens up the possibility of multi-room control.
synchronised displa y brightness
Rather than having to individually control the display brightness of each piece of your TAG
McLaren Audio system, it is possible to synchronise their brightness to match the display on
your DVD32FLR. This not only gives single point control of display brightness, but also allows
display appearance to be consistent across all products.

test pa tterns
brightness (bla ck level)
The DVD32FLR has a in-built test pattern generator to assist you in adjusting your picture, PAL
or NTSC, for best performance.
Black is the absence of light, and this is the first parameter you should adjust. Use the display
device’s black level control which some manufacturers call, quite inappropriately, brightness.
Many display devices are wrongly adjusted when leaving the factory because they need to
overcome the bright lighting in the show rooms from which they are usually selected.
However, once installed at home, the viewing conditions vary considerably from those in the
show rooms, hence display devices need re-calibrating.
The DVD32FLR includes two test patterns, PLUGE 1 and PLUGE 2, which will allow you to
adjust the black level until black becomes ‘really’ black (and not just a dark grey). If you set
the black level too high then a scene filmed at night looks like a scene filmed in the afternoon
(as black will be replaced by dark grey). However, if the black level is set too low then the
picture will lose detail in dark scenes.
Most important for a perfect picture is the absence of surrounding light in the room,
particularly light which can hit the screen. An often suggested low brightness light, placed
behind the screen (hence preventing it from reflecting in the screen) should only be used if
you want to watch tv leisurely for a long period of time. For best movie presentation, keep
the surrounding light intensity as low as possible.
(1)
Both test-patterns include a signal, created by hardware circuitry inside your DVD32FLR ,
which produces a level which is electrically below black, i.e. invisible if the black level of the
display device is correctly adjusted. This signal is called PLUGE (Picture Line Up Generating
Equipment). Both test patterns also include, to the right of PLUGE, separated by a black
zone, a dark grey bar (electrically above black, by exactly the same amount as PLUGE is
below).
It is not just the absence of surrounding light which can improve the performance of your
display device, it is also the colour of the walls, as these will also reflect light, emitted (or
reflected, when using a front projector) from your screen, ‘bouncing’ it back on to the screen
to ‘wash-out’ the picture. The perfect home cinema would be pitch black with no added light
in the room! Not the most pleasant of rooms, but highly effective. The result would be great
picture quality, assuming the display device is up to the task and adjusted properly. A more
practical solution is walls painted in darker colours without a reflective surface.
If the black level is correctly adjusted then PLUGE is no longer visible but the dark grey bar
still (just) is.
PLUGE 2 contains, in addition to PLUGE 1, a brilliant white field to check if the black level is
affected by high picture contrast.

Turn the brightness(1) up until you can clearly see the PLUGE bar. Then turn the brightness
down slowly until the PLUGE bar just disappears in the dark background(2). Don't turn the
brightness down too much, you should always see the grey bar to the right of the PLUGE
bar(3).
PLUGE 1 has low average intensity, whilst PLUGE 2 includes a white bar. Adjust the black
level using both test-patterns (PLUGE 1 and PLUGE 2), and if the settings differ use the
average of both. Only the very best display devices are able to maintain a constant black
level independent of the picture content. You might need to select an average of both
calibrations.

Cross-check your setting by turning back to
the PLUGE 2 test-pattern and check that the
bright white field (PLUGE 2) isn't blurred
into the black background. Some display
devices allow a very high contrast setting
without blurring, others will always blur.
colour
The cross hatch included in the DVD32FLR is
a multi-purpose test-pattern which will allow
adjustment of contrast and sharpness.
The colour test-pattern allows you to adjust Colour (and Tint in NTSC)(1). Adjust those two
parameters until yellow looks yellow (without including too much red) and Red is not over-
saturated. Your might use filters, available from specialist suppliers, which will allow you to
more objectively adjust colour.
On some display devices the black lines
will have a second or even multiple lines
beside them, usually shown in a light grey.
They can be caused by many reasons, for
example poor cables between the DVD
player and the display device or - usually
only available in NTSC - a wrongly
adjusted sharpness control. Use good
cables, such as our S-Video or digital cable
(for Composite or Component) and turn the
sharpness right down to remove these
artifacts. Frequently you might find that you
cannot remove those extra lines completely.

The test pattern includes a series of black
lines on a white background. Adjust the
contrast, after having set the black level
correctly, so that white becomes solid
without blurring into the black lines and
without turning the black lines grey.

a spect ra tio
convergence
Many display devices form white by generating a mixture of the primary colours red, green
and blue which our eyes add to white. If these colours aren’t hitting exactly the same spot
they won’t form perfect white. This is called imperfect ‘convergence’.
Convergence of some display devices, primarily projectors, can be user adjusted, others will
need a service engineer or aren’t adjustable at all. The quality of the convergence can be
checked using any of the Aspect Ratio test-patterns as they show white lines on a black
background.
If the white lines aren’t white but show the prime colours, shifted against each other, then the
convergence need adjustment.
These test patterns output a cross hatch of white lines on a black background, including
several perfect circles. If the geometry of your display device or the output format of the
DVD32FLR aren’t correctly set these circles will look distorted. Make sure your display device
is switched to the correct aspect ratio and you have set the DVD32FLR correctly (see setup-
>change set up->video->aspect ratio)(1).
On a 4:3 standard tv the cross hatches 4:3 and 16:9 letterbox should look undistorted.
On a 16:9 display device all 3 test patterns should look correct, assuming the correct zoom
mode is selected (e.g. none, letterbox, anamorphic).

progressive sca n module PSM192
PSM192 outputs
Your DVD32FLR may optionally be fitted
with a video processing board, the
Progressive Scan Module PSM192.
The PSM192 has a DVI 1.0 digital video output and a set of component analog outputs. The
DVI output has its own connector on the rear panel of your player. The analog outputs are
available on the player’s BNC component connections. The normal interlaced component
video signals remain available on the RCA component connections.
PSM192 generates analog and digital
progressively scanned video outputs from
interlaced video inputs - that applies to the
video signal from DVDs played by the
DVD32FLR, of course, but the PSM192 also
has external inputs to allow progressively
scanned video output to be generated from
all your composite and S-Video sources.
The PSM192 is a de-interlacer, not just a
line doubler, by which we mean it examines
the incoming video fields and determines
which fields can be recombined to produce
an output with maximum vertical resolution.
At the heart of the PSM192 is the Silicon
Image Sil 504 de-interlacer, a highly
sophisticated digital video processor,
carrying out 6 billion operations per
second. The Sil 504 uses advanced motion
adaptive and source adaptive techniques to
create an output image with maximum
vertical resolution without introducing
motion and interlacing artefacts.
configuring the PSM192 outputs
The outputs may be configured as component (YPbPr) or RGsB (i.e. RGB with sync on green).
The output mode can be changed only when the player does not have a disc loaded. To
change output mode, first remove any disc that is loaded, close the tray, and wait for the “no
disc” message to appear. To select component press the number keys corresponding to the
letters COM, i.e. 2, 6, 6 on the system remote. To select RGB press the number keys
corresponding to the letters RGB, i.e. 7, 4, 2.
PSM192 inputs
The PSM192, installed in a DVD32FLR, provides external composite and S-Video inputs via
the upper composite and S-Video connectors on the player‘s rear panel. It also has an
internal connection to the DVD video output. For best quality the DVD32FLR should be
configured for component output.

The PSM192 has many advanced options which
can be controlled via a TAGtronic connection
between DVD32FLR and AV32R. These include
individual black level (brightness), white level

The PSM192 has a special mode to display 4:3 video signals on a 16:9 widescreen display.
If your display is configured as 16:9 in the player menus, you can use the PSM192 to add
black bars at the sides of 4:3 images so that they are centred within your 16:9 display. This
is controlled by pressing shift then display on the system remote, press them once to turn on
the black bars for 4:3 input signals, press again to remove them for 16:9 input signals. The
external composite and S-Video inputs have black bars active by default (i.e. they expect a
4:3 input by default), press shift then display to turn the bars off if the input signal is 16:9.

Macros can only be programmed with either av or sat selected!
Macros programmed under av will be recalled, pressing m1, m2, ...
m4 or standby, when you use av, cd, dvd, or amp. Macros
programmed under sat will be recalled when using sat, tv, vcr and ld.
7. Once you have finished teaching the system-remote all the
desired commands from the original remote, you must store
them by simultaneously pressing the appropriate REMOTE
SELECTION key and the ok key for about four seconds.
When using the macro functions, it can take up to 10 seconds to
transmit a 10-key sequence. You should keep the system-remote
pointing towards the appropriate unit while the commands are being
transmitted to ensure they are received correctly.
Once you have stored the ‘learnt’ functions, test the keys you have
taught to make sure that they are programmed correctly.
If the system-remote has problems learning from the original
remote(1),you should:

The keys m1 to m4 and standby can act as macro keys. These can
be programmed to store up to 10 commands to send together with
one key press. Any key press function (except mute, CH + and CH –)
can be programmed into the macro keys. There are 2 groups of
macros, one used if the av, cd, dvd or amp remote selection keys
have been pressed, the other for the sat, tv, vcr or ld keys; i.e. there
are a total of 10 macros available.
