(left/right) analog audio, composite video, component video, or RGB video signals. If you are connecting the RDV-1060 directly to a SCART equipped TV, this should be the only connection you need to make. Simply plug an appropriate SCART cable into the output on the RVD-1060 and an input on your TV.

NOTE: For 5.1 channel Dolby Digital/DTS sur- round, you will also need to use the DIGITAL OUTPUT connection or the 5.1 channel ana- log audio connections from the RDV-1060 to your surround processor.

NTSC/PAL Switch

Various regions of the world use two differ- ent video standards. The US uses the NTSC standard while most countries in Europe use the PAL standard. The output of the RDV-1060 must be set to match the standard your TV accepts. Put the switch in the left position for use with NTSC video equipment. Put it in the right position for the use with PAL equipment.

NOTE: This switch only relates to the hardware configuration of your TV set and other com- ponents. Regardless of the setting, the RDV-1060 can play DVD discs encoded in either format, converting the signal to the for- mat selected with the NTSC/PAL switch.

Other Connections

AC Power Input

It is best to plug the RDV-1060 directly into a 2-pin polarized wall outlet. Avoid the use of extension cords.

Your RDV-1060 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.

Plug the supplied cord into the AC INPUT re- ceptacle on the back of the unit. After all con- nections have been made, plug the cord into an appropriate AC wall outlet.

NOTE: If you are away from home for an ex- tended period of time, it is a sensible precau- tion to unplug your audio/video components.

EXT REM IN

The EXT REM IN receives IR command codes relayed from an infrared receiver (Xantech, etc.) or from the matching EXT REM OUT con- nector on Rotel surround processors. 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 in- formation on IR receivers and the proper wir- ing of a cable with 3.5 mm plugs to fit the connector.

12V TRIGGER Connections

The RDV-1060 can be activated by a remote 12 volt trigger signal from a Rotel surround processor. This connection provides an input to receive the 12 volt trigger signal.

The trigger 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 trigger 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 TRIGGER and the proper wiring of a plug to fit the connector.

NOTE: When using the 12V Trigger feature, leave the POWER button in the ON position.

Computer I/O

The RDV-1060 can be operated from a com- puter with audio system control software from third-party developers. This control is accom- plished by sending operating codes from the computer via a hard-wired RS-232 serial con- nection.

The COMPUTER I/O input provides the nec- essary 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.

For additional information on the connections, cabling, software, and operating codes for computer control of the RDV-1060, contact your authorized Rotel dealer.
