ABOUT THE RT-20

Thank you for purchasing the RT-20 Disc Player, a reference-quality universal disc transport designed to provide superior audio and video performance with virtually any 3- or 5-inch optical media disc format. Based on leading-edge DVD and SACD research, the RT-20 supports DVD-V, DVD-A, DVD-R/RW, SACD, Audio CD, CD-R/RW, Video CD, and SVCD formats.

The RT-20 incorporates High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) technology which provides for direct uncompressed digital transmission to the display device. HDMI delivers pristine images free from any deterioration associated with analog interfaces. The RT-20 also delivers exceptional sound quality with Dolby Digital, DTS, and PCM (Linear or Packed) digital audio sources. In addition, it supports most MP3 audio sources as well as JPEG files.

With rear panel connectors befitting a reference-quality player, the RT-20 includes the standard composite and S-video output connec- tors, as well as progressive-scan component video output on RCA or professional-grade BNC connectors. High-precision 14-bit/ 216MHz D/A converters provide a video image without degrada- tion during analog conversion. The video component out feature converts interlaced video signals to progressive video signals, dou- bling the amount of video information sent to a compatible display device. The result is a higher quality, more stable image with fewer video artifacts.

The Video Adjust feature allows for exact, detailed adjustment of video settings such as Progressive Motion, sharpness, white, black, gamma, hue, and chroma levels, as well as luminance (DNR), chrominance (CNR) noise reduction. The Progressive Motion feature automatically converts film sources recorded at 24 frames-per-sec- ond to 60 frames-per-second to create a more natural picture. The

RT-20 offers three banks of Video Adjust settings for storage of user- defined Video Adjust settings.

Digital audio sources are available on S/PDIF or analog audio out- put connectors. Three digital audio output connectors – one S/PDIF coaxial, one S/PDIF optical, and one AES/EBU – allow for external decoding and processing of Dolby Digital, DTS, and PCM (Linear or Packed) sources. Alternatively, built-in 24-bit/192kHz D/A convert- ers on all six analog audio output connectors allow high-bandwidth formats such as DVD-A and SACD to deliver smooth, expansive analog sound without sample rate conversion and digital word length reduction.

Built to Lexicon standards, the RT-20 represents a solid investment that integrates into the finest home theaters. With its extensive compatibility, the RT-20 delivers exceptional performance whether you are watching the latest widescreen DVD, displaying a slide- show of your family album saved as JPEG files, or listening to old favorites on SACD or the latest MP3s on CD-R. Even the most demanding enthusiast will be impressed with its unbeatable combi- nation of technological innovation, flexibility, and performance.
