The RDV-1080 cannot play these disc formats: DVD-ROM, DVD-RAM, DVD-R, DVD-RW, CD-ROM, PHOTO CD, CD-R, or CD-RW. The unit can only play the audio content on CD-EXTRA, CD-G, and CD-TEXT discs.

When a disc is inserted in the RDV-1080, an Opening Screen appears on the TV indicating the type of disc. The disc type also appears in the front-panel display.

DVD Region Codes

DVD Video discs are encoded with region codes which also appear on the packaging:

ALL 2

2 5

2

3

1 2 3

4

5

4 5 6

 

 

A disc can only be played if its region code matches the code printed on the back-panel of the RDV-1080.

The RDV-1080 can play discs encoded in either the NTSC or PAL video formats, outputting the correct video signal as set by the back- panel NTSC/PAL switch.

Disc Structure

Each type of disc has its own organization, allowing you to locate various portions of the program recorded on the disc. Depending on the type of disc, these may be called Titles, Groups, Chapters, or Tracks:

DVD Video:

Title 1

 

 

Title 2

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Chapter 1

 

Chapter 2

A DVD Video disc is comprised of Titles and each title may be divided into Chapters. For example, a DVD Video disc may contains several movies, each with its own Title num- ber, and each movie may be divided into several Chapters. In a DVD Video karaoke disc, each song usually has its own title number and does not have Chapters.

A DVD Audio disc contains Groups, and each group divided into Tracks. Some DVD Audio discs also contain a Bonus Group that can only be played back by entering a Key Number password.

Most DVD Audio discs include other information in addition to audio, such as still pictures, movies and text.

An Audio CD, Video CD or SVCD simply contains Tracks.

Digital Audio Formats

DVD and CD discs can be encoded with several different digital audio formats. Generally, the type of digital audio encoding is indicated on the disc packaging.

Dolby Digital. A 6-channel digital sur- round sound format (called 5.1 channel) for playing Dolby Digital encoded disks.

DTS (Digital Theater Systems). An- other 5.1 channel digital surround format similar to Dolby Digital, but with wider dynamic range and separation resulting from a lower compression ratio.

MPEG multichannel. Another digital surround format for playing 5.1 channel audio plus a 7.1 channel format rarely used in home systems.

MLP (Meridian Lossless Packing). A high quality digital format for DVD Audio with the compression ratio of about 2:1 supporting a 192kHz sampling rate and 24-bit resolution, allowing the PCM signal to be recreated without loss.

LPCM (Linear PCM). Uncompressed digi- tal audio, the format used on CDs and most studio masters.

The RDV-1080 automatically detects the type of digital audio signal encoded on the disc and activates the proper processing circuitry. An indicator in the front-panel display illuminates to show the type of digital audio.

Remote Control

The RDV-1080 includes an RR-DV93 remote control that operates many of the controls of the RDV-1080. In addition, the remote operates basic features of many TV sets.

Remote Sensor

The remote sensor receives infrared signals from the remote control. Do not cover or block the sensor. It must be unobstructed or the remote control will not work properly.

The operation of the remote sensor can also be affected if it is exposed to bright sunlight or certain types of lighting (such as halogen lights) that emit infrared light. In addition remote control functions may not work reliably if the batteries in the RR-DV93 are weak.

NOTE: To use the remote, aim it at the remote sensor on the front-panel of the RDV-1080.

Remote Control Batteries

Two R03(LR03)/AAA size batteries (supplied) must be installed before the remote control can be used. Remove the cover on the back of the RR-DV93. Install the batteries as shown in the illustration in the battery well, then replace the cover. When the batteries become weak, the remote control won’t operate the RDV-1080 consistently. Installing fresh batteries should eliminate the problem.

NOTE: Remove the batteries from the remote if it will not be used for a long period of time. Do not leave run down batteries in the remote control; they can leak corrosive chemicals which will damage the unit.

TV/DVD Switch

The RR-DV93 remote can operate both the RDV-1080 and your TV set. Slide the TV/DVD switch to the left to activate the TV functions and to the right to activate the DVD functions.

DVD Functions

When the TV/DVD switch is in the DVD posi- tion, the RR-DV93 duplicates the functions of the RDV-1080 front-panel plus additional functions not available on the front-panel. When a function is available on both the front-panel and the remote, a number (referring to the front- panel illustration) and a letter (referring to the remote illustration) are shown in the instruc-
