2 UNPACKING
You will find in the packaging (see note):
- The player and remote control,
- The power cord.
- This user manual.
NB: If you need to return the player to the factory or to your local representative for a
warranty repair, please note that it must be repackaged in the original packing. This
packaging has been designed specifically to protect the Eidos 20DVD. Use of alternative
packaging is likely to result in damage, invalidating the warranty.
3 POWER SUPPLY VOLTAGE SELECTION
The power supply of your unit has been adjusted to operate with the AC voltage of your
area. Check on the back panel of the unit if in any doubt. If you move after purchasing the
player to an area using different mains voltage, do not forget to switch the back panel
selector to the new voltage of your area. The unit can operate at 50 or 60 Hz mains.
WARNING!
-
-
-
Always ensure that the fuse cover is fitted. Fuses are for fire prevention and do not
protect against risk of electric shock.
Always remember that a plug with bared connectors is dangerous if in contact with a
live socket. This appliance must be earthed.
Connect the non-rewirable power cord supplied to the back of the power supply and
plug it onto the nearest wall plug. Use only a 3 lugs grounded plug, for safety and
noise reasons. Replacement mains leads can be obtained from your Goldmund
retailer.

4 CHOICE OF THE PLAYER LOCATION
Due to the specific quality of its Goldmund "Mechanical Grounding" construction, the
Goldmund EIDOS 20DVD Player is less critical than other designs in placement selection.
Feedback is mostly so low that no special precaution is required. Nevertheless, position the
player as far as you can from the speakers if you want to totally avoid the air coupling
between the speakers and the player.
Locate the Player to provide the most rigid possible connection to the building construction.
Solid coupling is essential and the support used (Rack, Table, Shelf) must be as rigid and
solid as possible.
5
POWER CONNECTION
Plug the AC power cord to the back of the EIDOS 20DVD and in a wall socket. Switch the
back power switch to ON. The front display will light up as soon as you press any key or
when pressing the remote control STANDBY button, meaning the unit is now powered on.

BACK PANEL CABLE CONNECTIONS
6.1
VIDEO CONNECTIONS
The EIDOS 20DVD offers 4 different types of Video signal outputs:
o
o
o
o
S-Video Output connector.
3 x 75 Ohms RCA coaxial Component Video Output connectors.
5 x 75 Ohms BNC RGB progressive Output
DVI Digital Video Output
Always use high quality cables for getting the best picture. The best results will be achieved
by using high quality coaxial cable on Component Video Output connectors or high-quality
S-Video cable on the S-Video Output connector. Both may be of equivalent quality if the
associated equipment is properly tuned (especially for color and hue). On some types of
projectors or screens, the component video may be found of higher quality. On some
doublers or quadruplers, the S-Video may be providing better results. Always experiment
the best selection in readjusting the color and hue accordingly.
If you use the Progressive Output, move the top left switch on the rear panel to analogue
Video.
If you use the DVI Digital Video Output, move the top left switch on the rear panel to Digital
Video.

AUDIO CONNECTIONS
The EIDOS 20DVD is equipped with the following stereo output connectors to connect your
player to a D/A converter or digital preamplifier:
o
o
o
o
Coaxial Digital output.
Optical Digital audio output
Multi-channel analog output
HDMI cable
Goldmund recommends that the greatest care is taken when selecting the cable linking the
player to the D/A converter or digital preamplifier. The very accurate signal, provided by the
Eidos 20DVD, can easily be ruined by an imperfect connection. Use a "Goldmund Lineal™"
cable from the coaxial output if you want to achieve the most accurate jitter-free connection
for CD playback.

SETTING THE DISPLAY SYSTEM
Note
The default setting of this player is AUTO, and unless you notice that the picture is
distorted when playing some discs, you should leave it set to AUTO.
•
You can perform this setup anytime by
selecting “Easy setting” in the Setup menu.
9.1
WATCHING NTSC ON A PAL TV/DISPLAY
Most models of the newly developed countdown PAL TV system detect 50 Hz (PAL)/60 Hz
(NTSC) and automatically switch vertical amplitude, resulting in a display without vertical
shrinkage.
If your PAL TV does not have a V-Hold control, you may not be able to watch NTSC discs
because of picture roll. If the TV has a V-Hold control, adjust it until the picture stops rolling.
On some TVs, the picture may shrink vertically, leaving black bands at the top and bottom
of the screen. This is not a malfunction; it is caused by the NTSC to PAL conversion.

completely, including some of the dialog.
Switching Audio DRC (Dynamic Range Control) to On can help by bringing up the quieter
