Connections

This section describes the back-panel connec- tions and settings that must be made during installation of the RDV-1060. These include the power connection, output connections to the surround processor, selecting of the video stan- dard (PAL or NTSC) for your location, 12V Trig- ger inputs for remote turn-on of the unit, and optional external IR remote connections.

NOTE: To prevent loud noises, make sure the DVD player and the rest of the system is turned off when making connections.

Audio Connections

Analog audio outputs supply up to 5.1 channels of decoded analog audio. These out- puts take advantage of the RDV-1060’s abil- ity to decode many audio formats. Use these connections when connecting the RDV-1060 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.

Digital audio outputs supply unprocessed digital audio signal for use with the surround processor’s decoding and D/A converters. This is the preferred option with a Dolby Digital/ DTS surround processor.

Analog Audio Outputs

See Figure 5 and 6

A set of RCA jacks, labeled AUDIO OUTPUT sends either six channels of decoded analog audio (front left, front right, rear left, rear right, center, and subwoofer) or two channels of analog audio from the RDV-1060 to the ana- log audio inputs of an audio surround proces- sor, preamplifier, integrated amplifier, receiver or TV set.

To a surround processor with 5.1 chan-

nel inputs, use RCA audio cables to con- nect the six outputs to the matching multi- channel input 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.)

To a stereo preamp, processor, or TV

set with 2-channel inputs, use the RDV-1060’s STEREO outputs . 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.

Typically, the STEREO outputs send a matrix encoded stereo signal to the surround proces- sor. See the Speaker Setup topic in the Setup section of this manual for information on match- ing the analog output signal to your preamp or processor.

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.

Digital Outputs

See Figure 4

The RDV-1060 provides digital outputs (with both optical and coaxial connectors). These digital outputs provide a digital audio bitstream, which must be used with a processor that ac- cepts a digital signal and has its own Dolby Digital or DTS decoding.

The RDV-1060 provides an optical output and a coaxial output for the digital audio signal. Use whichever you prefer. If you choose the optical connection, remove the plastic cap pro- tecting the connector and save it for future use.

Connect the appropriate cable (optical or 75 ohm coaxial) from the DIGITAL OUT connec- tors of RDV-1060 to a digital input on the sur- round processor.

See the Audio Setup topic in the Setup sec- tion of this manual for important information on matching the digital output signal to your processor.

Video Connections

Video outputs send the video signal from the DVD player to the surround processor or TV set. Three types of video output connec- tions are provided – RCA composite video, S-Video, and Component Video. Choose the type of video output connection that best matches the inputs on your TV or surround processor. Component Video or SCART con- nections must be used with HDTV television monitors to use the RDV-1060’s progressive scanning feature.

NOTE: In most systems, only one video con- nection need be made. However, there is no harm in making multiple connection types (for example, Component Video outputs to an HDTV and S-Video outputs for use with an analog TV or VCR).

Composite Video Output

See Figure 3

Connect the composite TV MONITOR output to the corresponding composite video input on your TV or surround processor, using ap- propriate video cables.

S-Video Output

See Figure 3

Connect the S-Video TV MONITOR output to the corresponding S-Video input on your TV or surround processor, using an appropriate S-Video cable.

Component Video Outputs

See Figure 3

Connect the three Component Video TV MONI- TOR outputs to the corresponding Component Video inputs on your TV or surround proces- sor, using three Component Video cables. Make sure that you connect the Y output to the Y input, the PB output to the PB input, and the PR output to the PR input.

SCART connector

The back panel of the RDV-1060 has a 21- pin SCART connector. This connection is widely used on TV sets and audio/video equipment in Europe. The SCART output carries stereo
