NTSC/PAL switch
There are two different standards for video
monitors: NTSC in US and Japan, PAL in Eu-
rope. The output of the RDV-1092 should be
set to match the standard your TV accepts.
Put the switch in the NTSC position for use
with NTSC video equipment. Put it in the PAL
position for the use with PAL equipment.
This switch only relates to the hardware con-
figuration of your TV set and other compo-
nents. Regardless of the setting, the RDV-1092
can play DVD discs encoded in either format,
converting the signal to the format selected
with the NTSC/PAL switch.
: If your TV monitor can display both PAL
NOTE
and NTSC signals, you can choose the "Auto
Format" setting in the configuration menus.
This setting overrides the back panel switch;
the RDV-1092 displays the native format of
the disc being played (PAL or NTSC).
Other Connections
AC Power Input
It is best to plug the RDV-1092 directly into
a 2-pin polarized wall outlet. Avoid the use
of extension cords.
Your RDV-1092 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
receptacle on the back of the unit. After all
connections have been made, plug the cord
into an appropriate AC wall outlet.
: If you are away for an extended period
NOTE
of time, it is a sensible precaution to unplug
your audio/video components.
EXT REM IN
The EXT REM IN receives IR command codes
relayed from an infrared receiver or from the
matching EXT REM OUT connector 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 information on IR
receivers and the proper wiring of a cable
with 3.5 mm plugs to fit the connector.

12V TRIGGER Connection
The RDV-1092 can be activated by a remote
12 volt trigger signal from a Rotel surround
processor. The 12V TRIG 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 trig-
ger 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 TRIG
input and the proper wiring of a plug to fit
the connector.
: When using the 12V Trigger, leave the
NOTE
POWER button in the ON position.
Computer I/O
The RDV-1092 can be operated from a com-
puter with audio system control software
from third-party developers. This control is
accomplished by sending operating codes
from the computer via a hard-wired RS-232
serial connection.
The COMPUTER I/O input provides the neces-
sary 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-1092, contact
your authorized Rotel dealer.
OVERVIEW
Basic controls for the RDV-1092 are on the
front panel. These controls are duplicated on
the remote control along with many more.
To guide you through the operation of the
RDV-1092, this section of the manual starts
with explaining the basic layout and function
of the front panel and the remote control. In
the following section, Using the RDV-1092,
we explain the features of the unit and how
to operate them.
Throughout this manual, numbers in gray
boxes refer to the RDV-1092 illustration (Fig-
ure 1) at the front of this manual. Letters refer
to the RR-DV98 remote illustration (Figure 2).
When both appear, the function is found on
both the RDV-1092 and the remote. When
only one appears, that function is found only
on the RDV-1092 or the remote.
On-Screen Display
The RDV-1092 displays menus, status in-
dicators, and interactive menus on the TV
monitor Many of these screens are used to
set up preferences and activate advanced
features of the unit. Others offer information
and choices useful during normal operation
of the unit.
