1 DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT CONNECTORS

All versions offer digital audio output on S/PDIF coaxial and S/PDIF

optical connectors. The AES/EBU connector offers digital audio output

with AES/EBU electrical characteristics.

2 REGION CODE INDICATOR

Indicates the RT-20 region code, which differs from version to version

depending on the region of purchase. All DVD-Vs are also marked

with a region code, which is often located on the disc packaging.

The RT-20 is compatible with discs marked with this same region

code or with the ALL region code.

3 ANALOG AUDIO OUTPUT CONNECTORS

Provide analog audio output. All models include eight RCA connec-

tors labeled Front L/R (2 pairs), Surround L/R, Center, and Sub

Woofer. The Audio Out parameter can be used to configure these

connectors to provide 2- or 5.1-channel analog audio output.

4 COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT CONNECTORS

Provide component video output. All versions include one group of

RCA and one group of BNC connectors labeled COMPONENT

VIDEO. Some versions also include a mini D connector labeled D1/

D2. All component video output connectors can be used at the

same time.

The component video output connectors provide progressive-scan

and interlaced component video output. Progressive-scan compo-

nent 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 image with

fewer video artifacts.

5 IR IN CONNECTOR

Provides input of infrared data from industry-standard infrared dis-

tribution equipment. All models include one female 3.5mm Tip/

Ring/Sleeve connector labeled IR IN.

6 TRIGGER INPUT CONNECTOR

Allows the RT-20 to be controlled with an associated component

that includes a 12V DC trigger output connector, such as the

MC-12, MC-8 or MC-4 Digital Controllers or the RV-8 Digital

Receiver. All versions include one trigger input connector labeled

TRIGGER INPUT, which is available on a removable terminal block.

The illustration below displays the polarity of the terminals.

Trigger Input Connector Polarity

To configure the RT-20 for trigger control:

1. Connect the trigger input connector on the RT-20 to a 12V DC

trigger output connector on an associated component.

2. Set the RT-20 trigger input switch to ON.

3. Power cycle the RT-20 with the front panel On/Off button.

The RT-20 will respond when standby mode is activated or deacti-

vated for the connected component. The RT-20 will not respond to

the remote control POWER button.
