Pushing technological

boundaries; TAG McLaren’s

F1 electronics

Dr. Udo Zucker

Chief Executive Ofﬁcer

TAG McLaren Audio

TAG McLaren Audio exists with one aim

in mind: to produce the very best audio and

audio-visual equipment.

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.

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.

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

suppression, radio frequency technology and

software expertise to name but a few, all

prerequisites of an outstanding audio product.

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.

Dr Udo Zucker

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, 5and a screen, similar to the one shown below, appears:

In the example above, the DVD32FLR is set to region code 2.

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(1).

Make sure that all components of your audio-visual system are disconnected from the AC

supply whenever you change any connections.

Please keep the original packing and use it whenever your DVD32FLR is transported.

Shipping without the appropriate transit protection will invalidate your warranty.

...regional coding

before you start

positioning

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.

1. Throughout the instruction manual, bold print indicates the lettering that you will find on the panels of your DVD32FLR and Remote

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.

GRR00868.01-DVD32RFLR UM 5/30/02 12:25 PM Page 10

connectin |1312 |connectin

Using the cable supplied, connect the socket on the back of your DVD32FLR to

an AC supply outlet. The player will automatically enter standby when the

power is applied, press any button on the front panel or the system remote

(see ‘remote control’ on page 14) to bring it out of standby. The blue power LED will come

on, followed by ‘SELFTEST’ then the software version, shown on the front panel display.

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

and COMPOSITE VIDEO. By deﬁnition, Component video will give better quality than S-

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).

When the optional Progressive Scan Module PSM192 is ﬁtted it provides progressively

scanned video outputs in digital form on the DVI connector and in analog form on the BNC

component connectors. The analog progressively scanned outputs can be conﬁgured as

component YPbPr or RGB format with sync on green.

If you use the DVD32FLR with the TAG McLaren AV32R you can also connect the output

labelled ‘sync’ on the AV32R to the input labelled T2Link in on your DVD32FLR using a high

quality analogue cable, such as our F3-10-ANA. This connection provides synchronisation

between the AV32R and DVD32FLR which, when enabled(1), further enhances the sound

quality produced by the AV32R. The DVD32FLR will also work with your AV32R without this

connection so you could activate the T2Link at a later stage.

Your DVD32FLR is shipped with a shorting plug in the T2Link (Sync) input. It is recommended

that the shorting plug be left in place if no T2Link connection to the AV32R is made, for best

sound quality.

power connection

video display connection

surround sound (audio visual) processor connection

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

and 2) and one OPTICAL. We recommend using one of the coaxial connections for best

sound quality. Using a high quality digital interconnect, such as our F3-10-DIG, connect the

DIGITAL OUTPUT 1 or 2of your DVD32FLR to a digital input on your AV processor.

1. If you intend to use Component video for best video quality, the picture may appear in false colours until your DVD32FLR has been setup correctly

2. S-Video is also available on the Y (luminance) and Pb (chroma) ‘component’ connectors to achieve a higher quality S-Video connection (compared

to the standard S-Video connector)

TAGtronic Synchronisation Link (T2Link)

1. Refer to the AV32R user manual for instructions on how to enable the T2Link

ATTENTION:

Remove the shorting plug when using the TAGtronic Synchronisation Link,

otherwise the link will not function.

Your DVD32FLR is supplied with a backlit system-remote(2), suitable

for controlling all the main functions of your complete home cinema,

for day to day operation. For more details see the following pages.

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.

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.

remote control

inserting batteries

Before using the remote for the ﬁrst time, you will need to insert the

batteries supplied (be sure to insert the batteries with the polarity as

indicated). For optimum operation you should point the Remote

towards your DVD32FLR when using it. The red Remote active LED on

the front panel ﬂashes when commands are received from the Remote.

system-remote controlling the DVD32FLR

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.

Overview of the context sensitive keys:

The system-remote, once switched to

operate the DVD32FLR, is a Context -

Sensitive Remote, meaning keys operate

differently, depending on the content on

your television. What might sound initially

confusing is very intuitive. Just do what you

instinctively would do and you can control

the DVD32FLR with very few keys - a

perfect solution for operating a hi-

performance home cinema in the dark.

Example: Playing a DVD requires you to

open the DVD32FLR tray, insert a DVD and

start it after selecting any special function

from the DVD disc menu. The system-remote

lets you do all this by using very few keys,

all located around the remote control’s

central cursor keys. eject opens the tray,

play starts spinning the disc until it reaches

the DVD disc menu(1). (The DVD disc menu

is the page from which you usually select

any special settings, such as audio modes,

subtitles, documentary etc.)

context sensitive remote keys the menu key can call up the DVD disc menu and the DVD32FLR setup

The menu key activates the DVD disc menu, if a DVD is playing. If not playing a disc

(stopped or none loaded) the menu key will activate the DVD32FLR’s setup menu, (just as the

av menu key would activate the AV32R’s setup menu)(1).

1. You need to stop the disc before setup can be activated

within the DVD disc menu. Some DVDs do not allow the DVD32FLR

to detect the presence of the DVD disc menu automatically. In this

case pressing menu for more than two seconds will force the

DVD32FLR to switch over the transport function to the cursor control.

The keys remain in the cursor control state until you press menu

again for more than two seconds. The icon shown opposite will

appear in the top right corner of the picture when cursor control is

manually activated.

ATTENTION:

The DVD32FLR setup menus can only be accessed when the DVD32FLR’s tray

is closed and no disc is playing.

If a disc is playing (and not in the DVD disc menu), stop will stop the disc, allowing you to

resume from exactly the same position when you press play. Pressing stop a second time will

clear the resume buffer, meaning play will now start the DVD/CD from its beginning. In the

DVD disc menu, stop becomes cursor down, unless it is held for more than one second.

setup wizard

Conﬁguring for the optimum performance

...let the setup wizard guide you through a perfect setup but close the DVD32FLR’s tray ﬁrst.

ATTENTION:

When the player is in setup mode many control buttons, such as open/close

are temporarily de-activated. Setup cannot be invoked when the DVD32FLR’s

tray is open or a disc is playing.

To maximise the performance from your DVD32FLR, it is essential to conﬁgure it correctly;

this will ensure it performs at its very best. Without this setup you might signiﬁcantly reduce

your player’s potential.

Conﬁguring your DVD32FLR will be very simple as the DVD32FLR includes a comprehensive

step-by-step setup wizard. After connecting the DVD player DVD32FLR to your display

device, e.g. a television, your surround sound processor and the power, simply press ‘menu’

on the system-remote. If a disc is playing you must stop it ﬁrst, otherwise this key will invoke

the menu of the DVD you are playing.

Depending on the software version loaded in your DVD32FLR, the player might support several

languages for the player setup menus and on screen display information. It is recommended that

you select your preferred language before commencing with the setup wizard. This is done

using set languages from the menu.

The Setup Wizard is invoked if you select ﬁrst time setup. Alternatively, if you are an

experienced user, select item 3, change setup, which allows you to individually conﬁgure

each feature.

After activating the setup wizard, we suggest you sit back and relax whilst the wizard takes you

step-by-step through the entire setup procedure. At the end you will not only have covered all

possible features but will also have perfectly mastered and conﬁgured them. It is time well spent!
