On-Screen Displays

The RDV-1080 displays a number interactive screens on the TV monitor during normal operation. Many of these screens are used to set up preferences and activate advanced features of the unit. These are described in detail later in this manual.
The screen saver display is turned off, returning to the previous display, when any front-panel or remote button is pressed.
Several screen saver modes can be set as described in Setting Preferences.

Video Outputs

See Figure 4
The VIDEO OUT connectors send the video signal from the RDV-1080 to your surround processor or TV monitor. Three types of video output connections are provided RCA composite video, S-Video, and Component Video. Choose the type of video output connection that best matches the inputs on your TV or surround processor. Connect the TV MONITOR output (from the RCA composite , S-Video, or Component Video connectors) to the corresponding input on your TV or surround processor, using appropriate video cables.

On-Screen Icons

During operation of the RDV-1080, you may see icons displayed over the picture: Invalid operation: Displayed when a button press is not a valid operation accepted by the unit for the disc you are playing. DVD Video multi-angle: Displayed at the beginning of a scene recorded from multiple angles. DVD Video multi-language: Displayed at the beginning of a scene recorded with multiple audio languages. DVD Video multi-subtitles: Displayed at the beginning of a scene recorded with multiple subtitle languages.

Analog Audio Outputs

A set of six RCA jacks, labeled ANALOG OUT sends six channels of decoded analog audio signals (front left, front right, rear left, rear right, center, and subwoofer) from the RDV-1080 to the analog audio inputs of an audio surround processor preamplifier, integrated amplifier, receiver or TV set. To a surround processor with 5.1 channel inputs, use RCA audio cables to connect each of these six outputs to the matching input on the surround processor (front left to front left, subwoofer to subwoofer, etc.) To a stereo preamp, processor, or TV set with 2-channel inputs, connect the RDV-1080s front left output to the left channel source input and the front right output to the right channel input.

NTSC/PAL Switch

Various regions of the world use two different video standards. For example, the US uses the NTSC standard while most countries in Europe use the PAL standard. The output of the RDV-1080 must be set to match the standard your TV accepts. Put the switch in the left position for use with NTSC video equipment. Put it in the right position for the use with PAL equipment.
You can set the unit not to display onscreen icons above via the preference settings described later in this manual.

Back-Panel Connections

This section describes the back-panel connections and settings that must be made during installation of the RDV-1080. These include the power connection, output connections to the preamp or surround processor, selecting of the video standard (PAL or NTSC) for your location, and optional external IR remote connections. There are three types of output connections: Analog audio: supplies 5.1 channels of decoded analog audio to the surround processor, using the RDV-1080s built-in D/A converters and digital decoding. These outputs take maximum advantage of the RDV-1080s ability to process a large number of audio formats. RCA connections. Digital audio: unprocessed digital audio signal for use with the surround processors D/A converters and surround sound decoding. Optical or Coaxial connections. Video: sends the video signal from the DVD player to the surround processor or TV set. Composite, S-Video, or Component Video connections.

The RDV-1080 can be operated using its frontpanel buttons or from corresponding buttons on the supplied infrared remote control. Specific instructions for each of the basic operating controls are detailed here. Additional features, as well as settings available from the On-Screen Displays are described in later sections of the manual.

Setting Scan Mode (NTSC only) PROG SCAN Button PROGRESSIVE LED
Images appear on a TV screen by rapidly displaying a series of horizontal scan lines. The conventional method for displaying these lines is interlaced scanning. Half of the horizontal lines are displayed at a time followed by the other half, the two groups visually merging to form a single video image. Interlaced scanning is always used in the PAL video standard and, until recently, has been used for all NTSC video as well. A more advanced scanning system has been developed for some NTSC TV monitors. This system scans all horizontal lines at a time, doubling the number of lines that appear at one time, resulting flicker-free, high-density picture. The RDV-1080 provides this Progressive Scan option. To enjoy progressive scanned video, your TV monitor must have Progressive Video inputs.
NOTE: The Progressive Scan feature only works
