NOTE: You can substitute a 75 ohm video

cable for a coax digital cable, but do not

substitute conventional audio interconnect

cables for digital signals.

NOTE: The analog audio outputs are typically

used only with DVD-Audio discs or with sur-

round processors or TV sets that do not have

Dolby Digital or DTS processing. If your pro-

cessor has Dolby Digital and DTS decoding,

you will not need to make any analog audio

connections to play video DVDs; one digital

connection (described in the following sec-

tion) will sufﬁce.

CONNECTIONS

This section describes the back-panel connec-

tions and settings that must be made during

installation of the RDV-1092. These include

the power connection, audio output connec-

tions, video output connections, and selecting

of the video standard for your TV. In addition,

there are optional connections for an external

IR remote signal, a +12V turn-on trigger, and

an I/O port for computer control.

When making signal connections, follow the

color codes carefully.

Audio Connections

Digital Audio Outputs

Digital audio outputs supply an un-

decoded digital audio signal for use with

a surround processor’s decoding and D/A

converters. This is the preferred connection

when using the RDV-1092 with a Dolby Digi-

tal/DTS surround processor.

NOTE: To prevent loud noises, make sure the

DVD player and the rest of the system is

turned off when making connections.

See Figure 9

The RDV-1092’s digital outputs provide a

digital audio bitstream, which must be used

with a processor that accepts a digital signal

and has its own Dolby Digital and/or DTS

decoding. There are two types of outputs for

the digital audio signal: an optical output and

a coaxial output. Use whichever you prefer.

If you choose the optical connection, remove

the plastic cap protecting the connector and

save it for future use.

Cable selection

Analog audio outputs supply up to 5.1

channels of decoded analog audio. Use these

connections when connecting the RDV-1092

to a receiver or TV set that does not have its

own Dolby Digital and DTS decoding, or for

passing multichannel DVD-Audio PCM signals

to the analog inputs of a receiver.

Use standard audio cables with RCA con-

nectors for analog audio connections. Use

the following color code:

Left channel audio: white

Right channel audio: red

Choose from three different types of ana-

log video cables. For composite video, use

a single 75 ohm video cable with an RCA

connector at each end. For S-Video, use an

S-Video cable with a special multi-pin connec-

tor at each end. For component video, use a

set of three matching 75 ohm video cables

with RCA connectors at each end. Use the

following standard color code:

Connect the cable of your choice (optical or

coaxial) from the DIGITAL OUT connectors of

the RDV-1092 to the matching digital input

on the surround processor.

Analog Audio Outputs

See Figure 7 and 8

Two sets of RCA jacks, labeled ANALOG

OUT sends either six channels of decoded

analog audio (front left, front right, rear left,

rear right, center, and subwoofer) or two

channels of stereo analog audio from the

RDV-1092 to the analog audio inputs of an

audio surround processor, preampliﬁer, inte-

grated ampliﬁer, receiver or TV set.

You will probably need to select the correct

digital input on your surround processor, us-

ing its setup menus.

NOTE: See theAudio Setup Menu in the Setup

section of this manual for information on se-

lecting the right type of digital output signal

for your processor.

Composite video: yellow

Component video (Y): green

Component video (P^B): blue

Component video (PR): red

To a surround processor with 5.1

channel inputs, use RCA audio cables to

connect the six outputs labeled 5.1CH to the

matching multichannel inputs on the surround

processor (L to front left, R to front right, LS to

left surround, RS to right surround, C to center

channel, SUB to subwoofer, etc.)

NOTE: Do not use standard audio cables in

place of 75 ohm video cables. Audio cables

will usually pass the signal, but will degrade

the quality.

Video Connections

Video outputs send the video signal from

the DVD player to the surround processor,

video processor, or TV set. A key feature

of the RDV-1092 is that it can send a video

signal to any high deﬁnition or standard

deﬁnition TV monitor in exactly the format

that best matches the native mode and reso-

lution of the TV.

Choose from two different types of digital

video cables. For connection to a TV or video

processor with an HDMI input, use an HDMI

cable. For connection to a DVI input, use an

HDMI-to-DVI cable.

To a stereo preamp, processor, or TV

set with 2-channel inputs, use the pair

of RCA outputs labeled STEREO. Connect the

STEREO L output to the left audio input of the

TV or receiver and the STEREO R output to

the right audio input.

Use standard optical digital cables for optical

digitalsignals. Besuretoremovetheprotective

covers from the ends of the cable. Use 75 ohm

digital audio cables with an RCA connector

on each end for coax digital audio.

Digital HDTVs, such as LCD and plasma ﬂat-

screens, display digital signals directly. These

TVs should be connected to the RDV-1092

using the HDMI digital output.

Typically, the STEREO outputs send a matrix

encoded stereo signal to the surround pro-

cessor. See the Speaker Size topic in the

Setup section of this manual for information

on matching the analog output signal to your

preamp or processor.

Analog HDTVs, such as CRT and rear-projec-

tion sets, display analog signals. Although

these can be connected with an HDMI cable,

Coax digital: black

RDV-1092 DVD Audio/Video Player

these TVs should generally be connected with

analog Component Video cables to avoid

an unnecessary digital-to-analog conver-

sion in the TV.

NOTE: The RDV-1092 video output settings

should be conﬁgured to match the native

resolution of the HDTV. See the Video Setup

Menu topic in the Setup section.

SDTV Connections

When connecting a standard deﬁnition TV,

the best picture quality will be achieved using

Component Video or S-Video cables. If the TV

does not have either of these types of connec-

tions, use a composite video connection.

Standard deﬁnition TV monitors should be

connected with one of three types of video

output connections – RCA composite video,

S-Video, or Component Video. On standard

televisions, the S-Video output provides bet-

ter picture quality than the composite video

output.

DVI digital connection

See Figure 4

Component Video connection

Use this type of connection with an HDTV

that displays digital signals directly, such as

LCD, Plasma, and DLP monitors.

See Figure 5

NOTE: In most systems, only one video con-

nection should be made.

Connect one end of an HDMI to DVI cable to

the VIDEO OUT HDMI connector on the back

of the RDV-1092. Connect the other end of

the cable to the DVI input connector on the

backoftheHDTV.Werecommendamaximum

length of 5 meters for DVI cables.

Three cables are required to make Compo-

nent Video Connections:

1. Connect one cable from the COMPO-

NENT VIDEO OUT connector labeled Y

on the RDV-1092 to the Y input on the TV

or surround processor.

HDTV Connections

Connect the RDV-1092 to a high deﬁnition

TV monitor with HDMI, DVI, or Component

Video inputs. The video resolution can be set

tomatchthenativeresolutionoftheTVmonitor

at 480p/576p, 720p, 1080i, or 1080p.

NOTE: The RDV-1092 video output settings

should be conﬁgured to match the native

resolution of the HDTV. See the Video Setup

Menu topic in the Setup section.

2. Connect a second cable from the COM-

PONENT VIDEO OUT connector labeled

TV or surround processor.

3. Connect a third cable from the COMPO-

NENT VIDEO OUT connector labeled PR

on the RDV-1092 to the PR input on the

TV or surround processor.

NOTE: Most DVD discs feature Macrovision

and/or HDCP copy protection which may

not display properly at resolutions of 720p

or higher. When using Component

Video connections, set the RDV-1092

output resolution to 480i/576i or

480p/576p. The HDMI connections are

not affected by Macrovision copy protec-

tion.

NTSC/PAL switch

12V TRIGGER Connection

OVERVIEW

Basic controls for the RDV-1092 are on the

front panel. These controls are duplicated on

the remote control along with many more.

There are two different standards for video

monitors: NTSC in US and Japan, PAL in Eu-

rope. The output of the RDV-1092 should be

set to match the standard your TV accepts.

Put the switch in the NTSC position for use

with NTSC video equipment. Put it in the PAL

position for the use with PAL equipment.

The RDV-1092 can be activated by a remote

12 volt trigger signal from a Rotel surround

processor. The 12V TRIG input accepts any

control signal (AC or DC) ranging from 3

volts to 30 volts. When a cable is connected

to the input and a trigger signal is present,

the DVD player is activated. When the trig-

ger signal is interrupted, the unit goes into

standby mode. The front panel indicator light

remains lit, but the display goes dark and the

unit will not operate. Consult your authorized

Rotel dealer for information on the 12V TRIG

input and the proper wiring of a plug to ﬁt

the connector.

To guide you through the operation of the

RDV-1092, this section of the manual starts

with explaining the basic layout and function

of the front panel and the remote control. In

the following section, Using the RDV-1092,

we explain the features of the unit and how

to operate them.

This switch only relates to the hardware con-

ﬁguration of your TV set and other compo-

nents. Regardless of the setting, the RDV-1092

can play DVD discs encoded in either format,

converting the signal to the format selected

with the NTSC/PAL switch.

Throughout this manual, numbers in gray

boxes refer to the RDV-1092 illustration (Fig-

ure 1) at the front of this manual. Letters refer

to the RR-DV98 remote illustration (Figure 2).

When both appear, the function is found on

both the RDV-1092 and the remote. When

only one appears, that function is found only

on the RDV-1092 or the remote.

NOTE: If your TV monitor can display both PAL

and NTSC signals, you can choose the “Auto

Format” setting in the conﬁguration menus.

This setting overrides the back panel switch;

the RDV-1092 displays the native format of

the disc being played (PAL or NTSC).

NOTE: When using the 12V Trigger, leave the

POWER button in the ON position.

Computer I/O

The RDV-1092 can be operated from a com-

puter with audio system control software

from third-party developers. This control is

accomplished by sending operating codes

from the computer via a hard-wired RS-232

serial connection.

On-Screen Display

Other Connections

AC Power Input

The RDV-1092 displays menus, status in-

dicators, and interactive menus on the TV

monitor Many of these screens are used to

set up preferences and activate advanced

features of the unit. Others offer information

and choices useful during normal operation

of the unit.

The COMPUTER I/O input provides the neces-

sary network connections on the back panel.

It accepts standard RJ-45 8-pin modular plugs,

such as those commonly used in 10-BaseT

UTP Ethernet cabling.

It is best to plug the RDV-1092 directly into

a 2-pin polarized wall outlet. Avoid the use

of extension cords.

Your RDV-1092 will automatically conﬁgure

itself for the proper AC line voltage ranging

from 110 volts to 240 volts at 50/60Hz. No

setting is required to match the unit to your

local voltage.

For additional information on the connections,

cabling, software, and operating codes for

computer control of the RDV-1092, contact

your authorized Rotel dealer.

NOTE: The default language for all RDV-1092

On-Screen Displays can be changed. See

the General Setup topic in the Setup section

of this manual.

Plug the supplied cord into the AC INPUT

receptacle on the back of the unit. After all

connections have been made, plug the cord

into an appropriate AC wall outlet.

Status Bar

During operation of the unit, a Status Bar

appears on the TV screen when the DISPLAY

button is pressed, when a setting is changed

or when the Top Menu or URD menus are

displayed:

NOTE: If you are away for an extended period

of time, it is a sensible precaution to unplug

your audio/video components.

cates the new setting when an adjustment is

made or shows displays when attempting to

select an option that is not available for the

current disc.

The EXT REM IN receives IR command codes

relayed from an infrared receiver or from the

IR OUT connector on Rotel surround proces-

sors. This feature may be useful when the unit

is installed in a cabinet and its front-panel IR

sensor is blocked. Consult your authorized

Rotel dealer for information on IR receivers

and the proper wiring of a cable with 3.5

mm plugs to ﬁt the connector.

Audio Setup Menu

This setting determines the black level for

NTSC format video. In the United States,

the video standard has been “7.5 IRE”,

meaning that a video signal above 0 volts

is displayed as pure black. This setting will

appear somewhat “lighter” in dark areas of

the picture. In Japan, the video standard has

been “0.0 IRE” meaning that a 0 volt video

signal is displayed as pure black. This set-

ting is sometimes called “blacker than black”

and will appear somewhat darker in darker

areas of the picture.

Select this option for a wide-screen 16:9

aspect ratio TV (default). All aspect-ratio

matching and zoom modes are handled

by the TV.

The Audio Setup menu provides two settings:

the format of digital audio output and a

compression mode optimizing Dolby Digital

playback for quiet listening.

• 4:3 Letterbox

This item allows you to choose either 7.5

IRE or 0.0 IRE output from the RDV-1092.

In general, you should set the black level at

7.5 IRE in the United States so that your DVD

output matches that of cable tuners and other

sources so the TV picture remains consistent

from source to source.

Digital Audio Output

There are two options for the digital audio

output of the RDV-1092. The ﬁrst option is

Multichannel digital output that sends a mul-

tichannel (Dolby Digital 5.1, DTS 5.1, etc.)

signal to the surround processor for decoding.

The other option is Stereo Output that sends a

downmixed two-channel digital signal.

Select this option for a 4:3 aspect ratio

TV. 4:3 aspect ratio programs fill the

screen. Wide-screen video images are

displayed full-width with black letterbox

masks inserted top and bottom.

• 7.5 IRE: For use with NTSC TV monitors

in the United States (default).

• Multichannel: This setting allows a

full multichannel digital signal from the

RDV-1092 (default). Use this setting with

a Dolby Digital or DTS surround sound

processor. Note that you can still select

2-channel audio from the DVD’s menus.

• 0.0 IRE: For use with NTSC monitors in

• 4:3 Pan/Scan

Japan and other markets.

NOTE: The IRE setting only applies to NTSC

output and has no effect with PAL output.

• Stereo: This setting forces the RDV-1092

to downmix audio to 2-channel stereo for

output at the digital audio outputs. Use this

setting when connecting directly to the TV

monitor or to a 2-channel audio system.

Lip Sync

speciﬁed amount to match the video signal.

Compression

The LARGE setting is “full-range”; the speaker

will reproduce the entire signal including deep

bass recorded in its channel. The SMALL set-

ting is “high-pass”; the speaker will reproduce

only frequencies above the crossover point

(100Hz). Bass below the crossover will be

routed to a powered subwoofer connected

to the RDV-1092.

Distance Units

Dolby Digital recordings are capable of wide

dynamic range (the difference between the

softest and loudest sounds). In some cases,

this may tax the audio system. In other cases,

you may want to reduce the dynamic range

when listening at low volume levels so that

dialog is loud enough to hear while prevent-

ing sound effects and other dynamic passages

from being too loud.

The following item requires measuring the

distance from each speaker to the listening

position. Use the Distance Unit item to specify

feet or meters as the unit of distance.

• FEET: Specify distance in feet (default).

• METERS: Specify distance in meters.

In addition, there are settings for delaying the

signal to the center or surround speakers.

Speaker Distance

This setting has no impact on the digital output

of the RDV-1092. It only changes the dynamic

range of the analog signal from the left/right

RCA audio outputs.

This item allows you to specify the distance

fromeachspeakertothelisteningposition. The

RDV-1092 uses these distances to delay the

signals so that the sound from each speaker

location arrives at the listener simultaneously.

The maximum distance is 40 feet in 1 foot

steps; 12 meters in 0.1 meter steps.

Speaker Size

Use this item to conﬁgure speaker settings

audio outputs. Use the CURSOR

The RDV-1092 has a Parental Lock feature to

prevent children from watching inappropriate

DVD Video discs. The feature relies on ratings

systems (speciﬁc to each country) that set a

rating level for discs starting from material

suitable for viewing by children and increas-

ing as the subject matter becomes more inap-

propriate. The Parental Lock feature sets the

restriction anywhere from Level 1 to Level 8.

A disc with a higher numerical rating than the

speciﬁed level requires entry of a password

for playback. Thus, if you specify a Level 4

restriction, discs rated Level 1, 2, 3, or 4 play

without a password. Discs rated 5, 6, 7, or

8 require a password.

MORE INFORMATION

There are three different color space stan-

dards for digital TV monitors: RGB, YCrCb

4:2:2, and YCrCb 4:4:4. Matching the

output of the RDV-1092 to color format is

essential when connecting the monitor with

HDMI cables. Typically, the AUTO setting

will detect the proper format for the digital

TV monitor automatically. If not, use one of

the manual settings:
