You can check the level setting by monitoring
the test tone.

DVD Video Disc Region Codes
The RDV-1050 supports the following digital
audio formats (see the Glossary for descrip-
tions of each audio format):
All DVD players and DVD discs have a Region
Code number. The US version of the RDV-1050
can play DVD discs whose Region Code num-
bers include the number “1”. The European
version can play DVD discs whose region codes
include the number “2”. The region code for
your unit is indicated on the region code sym-
bol on the rear panel.
ON SCREEN GUIDE
Cleaning discs
The RDV-1050 can display “on-screen guide”
icons or characters on the picture, which show
what is happening to the disc or the RDV-1050.
Linear PCM, MPEG Multichannel, Dolby Digi-
tal, DTS (Digital Theater Systems)
• Wipe with a soft dry cloth, moving from the
center outwards. If a disc is difficult to clean,
wipe with a cloth moistened with water.
NOTE: Depending on the Digital Audio
Output setting of the RDV-1050, digital au-
dio signals may not be output as they are
recorded on the disc. See Digital Audio
Output section of this manual for details.
Example of “on-screen guide” icons:
• Never use record cleaners, petrol, alcohol
or any anti-static agents.
Setting the Delay Time
Often in multi-channel systems it is not pos-
sible to locate all the speakers at an equal dis-
tance from the listener. The Delay Time set-
ting of the RDV-1050 can compensate for the
differences in the distance from the front (left,
right) speakers, the center speaker and the sur-
round speakers to the listener.

NOTES:
PICTURE
If you change the RESUME setting from
DISC RESUME to OFF or ON, you cannot
resume playback of a disc whose “resum-
ing” position is stored. However, when you
reset RESUME to DISC RESUME, you will
then be able to resume playback of the
disc.
If you interrupt the playback of a disc for
which an interrupted position has already
been stored, the memory will be updated
with the new interrupted position.
For a double-sided DVD VIDEO disc, the
RDV-1050 regards each side as a different
disc. Therefore, to resume playback of such
a disc, the disc must be inserted with the
same side down.
When the RDV-1050 memorizes an inter-
rupted point for a disc, it also memorizes
Audio, Subtitle and Angle settings.
The RDV-1050 may not resume playback
exactly from the interrupted point. In the
case of an SVCD/Video CD disc with PBC
function, the RDV-1050 may resume play-
back from a point slightly earlier or later
than the point where playback was inter-
rupted.
• If the sound of a DVD VIDEO disc is recorded
in Dolby Digital or DTS format, stereo lin-
ear PCM signals are output. With some DVD
VIDEO discs, the sound quality and volume
may be altered, or the sound may be out
