On-Screen Icons

During operation of the RDV-1080, you may
see icons displayed over the picture:
Invalid operation: Displayed when a
button press is not a valid operation accepted
by the unit for the disc you are playing.
DVD Video multi-angle: Displayed
at the beginning of a scene recorded from mul-
tiple angles.
DVD Video multi-language: Dis-
played at the beginning of a scene recorded
with multiple audio languages.
DVD Video multi-subtitles: Displayed
at the beginning of a scene recorded with mul-
tiple subtitle languages.
: You can set the unit not to display on-
NOTE
screen icons above via the preference set-
tings described later in this manual.

Back-Panel Connections

This section describes the back-panel connec-
tions and settings that must be made during
installation of the RDV-1080. These include the
power connection, output connections to the
preamp or surround processor, selecting of the
video standard (PAL or NTSC) for your loca-
tion, and optional external IR remote connec-
tions.
There are three types of output connections:
Analog audio: supplies 5.1 channels of de-
coded analog audio to the surround proces-
sor, using the RDV-1080's built-in D/A con-
verters and digital decoding. These outputs
take maximum advantage of the RDV-1080's
ability to process a large number of audio
formats. RCA connections.
Digital audio: unprocessed digital audio sig-
nal for use with the surround processor's D/A
converters and surround sound decoding.
Optical or Coaxial connections.
Video: sends the video signal from the DVD
player to the surround processor or TV set.
Composite, S-Video, or Component Video
connections.
: To prevent loud noises, make sure the
NOTE
DVD player and the rest of system is turned
off when you make any of these connections.

Analog Audio Outputs

See Figure 4
A set of six RCA jacks, labeled ANALOG OUT
sends six channels of decoded analog audio
signals (front left, front right, rear left, rear right,
center, and subwoofer) from the RDV-1080
to the analog audio inputs of an audio sur-
round processor preamplifier, integrated
amplifier, receiver or TV set.
To a surround processor with 5.1 chan-
nel inputs, use RCA audio cables to con-
nect each of these six outputs to the matching
input on the surround processor (front left to
front left, subwoofer to subwoofer, etc.)
To a stereo preamp, processor, or TV
set with 2-channel inputs, connect the
RDV-1080's front left output to the left chan-
nel source input and the front right output to
the right channel input.
: See the DOWN MIX Settings topic in
NOTE
the Setting Preferences section of this manual
for information on matching the analog out-
put signal to your preamp or processor.

Digital Outputs

See Figure 4
The RDV-1080 provides digital outputs (with
both optical and coaxial connectors) which
may be used in place of, or in addition to,
the analog audio output connections described
in the previous section. These digital outputs
provide a digital audio data stream, which
must be used with a processor that accepts a
digital signal and has its own D/A conversion
and digital surround decoding.
The RDV-1080 provides an optical output and
a coaxial output for the video signal. Use
whichever you prefer. If you chose the opti-
cal 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-1080 to a digital input on the sur-
round processor.
: See the DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT Set-
NOTE
tings topic in Setting Preferences for impor-
tant information on matching the digital output
signal to your preamp or processor.

Video Outputs

See Figure 4
The VIDEO OUT connectors send the video
signal from the RDV-1080 to your surround
processor or TV monitor. Three types of video
output connections are provided – RCA com-
posite video, S-Video, and Component Video.
Choose the type of video output connection
that best matches the inputs on your TV or
surround processor. Connect the TV MONI-
TOR output (from the RCA composite , S-Video,
or Component Video connectors) to the cor-
responding input on your TV or surround pro-
cessor, using appropriate video cables.

NTSC/PAL Switch

Various regions of the world use two differ-
ent video standards. For example, the US uses
the NTSC standard while most countries in
Europe use the PAL standard. The output of
the RDV-1080 must be set to match the stan-
dard your TV accepts. Put the switch in the
left position for use with NTSC video equip-
ment. Put it in the right position for the use with
PAL equipment.
: This switch only relates to the hardware
NOTE
configuration of your TV set and other com-
ponents. Regardless of the setting, the
RDV-1080 can play DVD discs encoded in
either format, converting the signal to the for-
mat selected with the NTSC/PAL switch.

EXT REM IN/OUT Connectors

The EXT REM IN receives IR command codes
relayed from an infrared receiver (Xantech,
etc.). This feature is useful when the unit is in-
stalled in a cabinet and the front-panel IR sensor
is blocked. Consult your authorized Rotel dealer
for information on IR receivers and the proper
wiring of a plug to fit the connector.
The IR signals received by the RDV-1080 can
be relayed to other components using exter-
nal IR emitters or hardwired connections from
the EXT REM OUT jack. For example, you might
place such a remote IR emitter in front of your
TV's IR sensor to receive the TV commands from
the RR-DV93 remote.
See your authorized Rotel dealer for information
on IR repeater systems and connecting them
to the EXT REM OUT jack on the RDV-1080.
