Unpacking and Warning 5

MOON Stellar DVD Player

Installation Tips

The MOON Stellar DVD player should be placed on a rigid surface to prevent any accidents such as

falling over. It is highly recommended that it sits on its own dedicated shelf.

You should never place another component on top of this DVD player. As well, you should avoid

placing it near a heat source or inside a closed cabinet that is not well ventilated. This could

compromise the DVD Player’s performance and reliability.

Once you have decided on a location for your Stellar, you should install the four (4) pointed screw-on

tips onto the cones located on the bottom of the chassis. These tips will easily scratch most surfaces,

therefore it’s advisable to follow these instructions:

1) Place your Stellar on a soft surface (i.e. carpet) and carefully turn it so that it rests on its side.

2) Screw one tip onto each of the four cones.

3) Carefully move your Stellar to it’s pre-determined location.

Included with these tips is a small metal rod, intended for final adjustments (if necessary) by simply

threading it through the tiny hole of each of these tips and then gently turning. These adjustable

screw-on tips serve two purposes: Mechanical grounding of the chassis and compensation for surfaces

that aren’t perfectly level.

Since household dust is an excellent insulator of heat, we suggest that you clean both of the curved

side-mounted heat sinks on a regular basis. A smooth nylon brush with long bristles (ie. paint brush) is

recommended for this task.

Finally, you should make all of your audio and video signal connections prior to making the AC

connection between the Stellar and the AC wall outlet.

Rear Panel Connections

I H F G A B J E C D

Figure 1: Rear panel of the MOON Stellar DVD Player (shown w/ optional line doubler)

There are a variety of ways to connect your MOON Stellar DVD player to other audio and video

components. Your choices will depend on both, your needs, and the connections available on other

equipment that you currently own. Your choices for audio connections and video connections are

completely independent of each other; alternatively, you can use the 21-pin Audio/Video SCART

connector for both the audio & video connections in the event that your TV supports this format

(mostly in European countries).

Once you’ve completed connecting all of your audio and video cables, connect the supplied AC power

cable to the IEC receptacle, located on the rear panel. Alternatively, if you wish, you may use a

dedicated high-performance AC cable designed for digital source components. Ensure that the AC wall

outlet you use has a functioning ground. For the best possible performance, it is preferable that you

plug your Stellar directly into a dedicated AC outlet and avoid using an extension cord. We strongly

recommend that the detachable power cord not come into physical contact with any of the audio or

video cables running from your Stellar. In the event that this can’t be avoided, you should ensure

that any cables coming into contact with each other are crossed at ninety degree angles to minimize

the contact area.

The rear panel of the MOON Stellar DVD Player is similar to figure 1 at the top of this page. Each letter

(A through J) corresponds to a different type of connection, all of which will be described on the next

three pages.

Rear Panel Connections 7

MOON Stellar DVD Player

Standard Video Connections

There are three ways to connect the MOON Stellar DVD player to your video equipment using

standard video connections. They are presented here in order of increasing quality. For a Stellar

equipped with the optional Faroudja DCDi™Line Doubler, you can jump to the ‘Progressive Scan

Video Connections’ section on the next page. Remember that whatever connection type you decide to

use, don’t hesitate to use high quality video cables. Lesser quality cables can degrade the video

quality.

For better image quality, we suggest that you connect your Stellar directly to your TV or video

projection unit. Certain home theater installations use a video switcher which often leads to some

degradation of video signal quality. In these situations, we recommend that you use the switcher for

all your video connections with the exception of the Stellar DVD player, connecting both the video

switcher and the Stellar directly to your TV’s or video projection unit’s separate inputs.

Also, each output is independently buffered so can you use more than one output at the same time if

ever your setup requires such a connection.

A) Composite (CVBS)

This is the most common video connection. Nevertheless, you should use it only in the event that

neither of the following two connections are available on your TV/video projection unit, as it provides

the lowest video quality of those offered on the Stellar.

B) S-Video (Y/C)

This connection offers high quality video reproduction and the advantage of using only one (1) video

cable (S-Video type with a mini-DIN connector). It is a compromise between video image quality and

the number of cables used.

C) Component Interlaced (YPBPBR)

This connection offers the highest possible video reproduction quality with interlaced video equipment

(i.e. non-Progressive Scan) and uses three BNC connectors. You should use video cables terminated

with BNC connectors. In the event that these aren’t available, you can also use video cables

terminated with RCA connectors and RCA-to-BNC adaptors. Connect the three outputs labeled Y, PB

and PRto the corresponding inputs on your TV or video projection unit.

MOON Stellar DVD Player

Progressive Scan Video Connections

Available ONLY with the optional Faroudja DCDi™Line-Doubler

The Progressive Scan connection offers the very best quality video reproduction. This connection can

only be made to a TV or video projection unit that is ‘Progressive Scan’ ready. A Progressive video

signal is non-interlaced and therefore, cannot work with regular component video inputs. You will find

three (3) switches located on the back panel that control the settings for different components types

(figure 2). They must be properly set for the Progressive Scan circuitry to function.

Figure 2: MOON Stellar DVD Player Optional Progressive Scan Settings and Connectors

‘NTSC/PAL’ for Television Standard: American (NTSC) or European (PAL).

‘RGB/YPBPBR’for Colorspace: Depending upon the equipment you use, select the proper Colorspace,

whether RGB (Red Blue Green) or YPBPR.

‘SYNC ON GREEN’ Allows you to remove the synchronization signal from the Green (or Y) output. This

is only for equipment that requires separate horizontal and vertical sync. signals.

D) Progressive Component

This uses three (3) BNC type connectors. You should use video cables terminated with BNC connectors.

In the event that these aren’t available, you can also use video cables terminated with RCA connectors

and RCA-to-BNC adaptors. Connect the three outputs labeled Y, PBand PRto the corresponding inputs

on your video equipment. If you selected the RGB mode, Red is on PR, Green is on Y and Blue is on PB.

E) Progressive Monitor

The DB-15 connector labeled ‘Progressive Monitor’ provides RGB output with separate sync. when

‘SYNC ON GREEN’ is disabled. Applications include certain projectors and computer monitors.

Progressive Scan Video Connections 9

MOON Stellar DVD Player

Audio Connections

You can use either the analog audio outputs, the digital audio outputs, or both depending on your

system requirements. If you are using a digital surround processor, it is strongly recommended that

you to use a digital audio connection. If you want to use your Moon Stellar

DVD player with an

analog stereo preamplifier, you must use an analog audio output connection. If you are not sure, ask

your dealer for recommendations about your specific setup. Whatever the type of connection(s) you

choose, don’t hesitate to use high quality cables. Poor quality cables can degrade the overall sonic

performance of your system.

F) Digital Audio Output (Electrical)

This output is on BNC type connector. You can use a 75Ωdigital audio cable with BNC connectors. In

the event that these aren’t available, you can also use a digital audio cable terminated with RCA

connectors and RCA-to-BNC adaptors. It is better to use a BNC-to-BNC connection, but it should not be

of a concern if you need to use adaptors.

G) Digital Audio Output (Optical)

This output is on a Toslink RC-5720 (EIAJ Standard) type connector, requiring a Toslink fiber optic

digital audio cable. Use this type of connection only if the component you’re attempting to connect to

the Stellar doesn’t support the ‘Electrical Digital Audio Output’ (BNC type connector) previously

described. The electrical digital output provides for significantly better quality than the optical output.

H) Balanced Analog Audio Output

This output is on XLR connectors, so you must have a pair of balanced audio cables with XLR

terminations. This connection is preferable to single-ended RCA, especially when using a long cable run

(i.e. more than 2 meters in length).

I) Single-Ended Analog Audio Output

This output is on RCA connectors, so you must have a pair of regular single-ended audio cables with

RCA terminations.

J) SCART Audio/Video Connection (or Peritel Connection)

This output on a 21-pin SCART connector provides for both RGB and composite video connections, as

well as an analog 2-channel (stereo) audio connection in a single SCART cable.
