ABOUT THE RT-10

Thank you for purchasing the RT-10 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-10 supports DVD-V, DVD-A, DVD-RW/R, SACD, Audio CD, CD-RW/R, Video CD, and SVCD formats. It delivers exceptional sound quality with Dolby Digital, DTS, and PCM (Linear or Packed) digital audio sources. In addition, it supports most MPEG video and MP3 audio sources.

With rear panel connectors befitting a reference-quality player, the RT-10 includes the standard composite and S-video output connectors, as well as progressive-scan component video output on RCA or professional-grade BNC connectors. High-precision 12-bit/ 108MHz D/A converters provide a pristine video image without degradation during analog conversion. Progressive-scan component video output converts interlaced video signals to progressive video signals, doubling the amount of video information sent to a compatible display device. The result is a higher quality, more stable image with fewer video artifacts.

Video Adjust allows for exact, detailed adjustment of video settings such as Pure Cinema, sharpness, white, black, gamma, hue, and chroma levels, as well as luminance (YNR), chrominance (CNR), mosquito (MNR), and black (BNR) noise reduction. Pure Cinema automatically converts film sources recorded at 24 frames-per- second to 60 frames-per-second to create a more natural picture. The RT-10 offers six banks of Video Adjust settings, including three preset banks for CRT, plasma, and professional display devices and three memory banks for storage of user-defined Video Adjust settings.

Digital audio sources are available on S/PDIF or analog audio output 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 converters 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.

Setup is simplified with color on-screen display menus that can be customized for the desired level of control. The Setup Navigator provides step-by-step guidance through the process of configuring minimum settings. When activated, it presents a series of questions that, when answered, allow the RT-10 to implement the correct audio, video, and language settings.

The Setup menu provides access to more advanced controls. Available in basic and expert display modes, the Setup menu can be customized to include controls that are required to configure the most common settings or to include all controls that are available. In addition, the RT-10 allows the creation of up to five shortcuts, which provide convenient access to frequently adjusted controls without navigating through the entire Setup menu.

Built to Lexicon standards, the RT-10 represents a solid investment that promises to complement the finest home theaters. With its extensive compatibility, the RT-10 is sure to deliver exceptional performance whether watching the latest blockbuster on DVD or listening to a remix of an old favorite on SACD. Even the most demanding enthusiast will be impressed with its unbeatable combination of technology, flexibility, and simplicity.
