RDV-1092

RDV-1092 DVD Audio/Video Player

Auto Format

Most TV monitors are designed to display ei-

ther NTSC or PAL video signals. With these

TVs, simply set the output format with the back

panel NTSC/PAL switch.

With multi-format TV monitors that can display

both NTSC or PAL video formats, you can

have the RDV-1092 match the output format

to the format of the disc being played. Use

the Auto Format item to override the setting

of the back panel switch:

• OFF: The video output format matches

the setting of the NTSC/PAL switch on

the back panel (default).

• ON: The setting of the back panel switch

is ignored and the output format is deter-

mined by the disc being played. The for-

mat of the last played disc is displayed

in the setting.

Black Level

This setting determines the black level for

NTSC format video. In the United States,

the video standard has been “7.5 IRE”,

meaning that a video signal above 0 volts

is displayed as pure black. This setting will

appear somewhat “lighter” in dark areas of

the picture. In Japan, the video standard has

been “0.0 IRE” meaning that a 0 volt video

signal is displayed as pure black. This set-

ting is sometimes called “blacker than black”

and will appear somewhat darker in darker

areas of the picture.

This item allows you to choose either 7.5

IRE or 0.0 IRE output from the RDV-1092.

In general, you should set the black level at

7.5 IRE in the United States so that your DVD

output matches that of cable tuners and other

sources so the TV picture remains consistent

from source to source.

• 7.5 IRE: For use with NTSC TV monitors

in the United States (default).

• 0.0 IRE: For use with NTSC monitors in

Japan and other markets.

NOTE: The IRE setting only applies to NTSC

output and has no effect with PAL output.

Lip Sync

This setting delays the audio signal by the

speciﬁed amount to match the video signal.

This feature is very seldom needed with DVD

discs, but can be used if the audio is not

matched to the video. To adjust:

• Press the ENT button to begin. The Status

Bar shows “A/V Delay”.

• Press the CURSOR buttons to adjust

from –63 to +64. The default setting is 0

(no lip synch adjustment).

Aspect Ratio

There are two types of TVs: 4:3 aspect ratio

and wide-screen 16:9 aspect ratio monitors.

Use this preference item to conﬁgure the video

output to match the aspect ratio of your TV.

With a 4:3 aspect ratio TV, you also need

to tell the RDV-1092 how to adjust wide-

screen video images to ﬁt, either displaying

the wide screen image in a letter box or as

a pan/scan image.

• 16:9 Widescreen

Select this option for a wide-screen 16:9

aspect ratio TV (default). All aspect-ratio

matching and zoom modes are handled

by the TV.

• 4:3 Letterbox

Select this option for a 4:3 aspect ratio

TV. 4:3 aspect ratio programs fill the

screen. Wide-screen video images are

displayed full-width with black letterbox

masks inserted top and bottom.

• 4:3 Pan/Scan

Select this option for a 4:3 aspect ratio TV.

4:3 aspect ratio programs ﬁll the screen.

Wide-screen video images are zoomed

(pan/scan) to ﬁll the screen vertically with

portions of the image cut off the left and

right sides.

CCIR Clipping

The European video standards committee has

established maximum signal levels for digital

component video processing. Most DVD discs

adhere to these standards. The RDV-1092

provides an option to apply a “clipping ﬁlter”

to limit the digital video levels when required

for a non-standard DVD.

• OFF: No clipping ﬁlter. This default set-

ting should work with DVDs that adhere

to the standards.

• ON: Activates an optional clipping ﬁl-

ter for use with non-standard DVDs with

digital video levels that exceed the CCIR

standards.

Digital Audio Output

There are two options for the digital audio

output of the RDV-1092. The ﬁrst option is

Multichannel digital output that sends a mul-

tichannel (Dolby Digital 5.1, DTS 5.1, etc.)

signal to the surround processor for decoding.

The other option is Stereo Output that sends a

downmixed two-channel digital signal.

• Multichannel: This setting allows a

full multichannel digital signal from the

RDV-1092 (default). Use this setting with

a Dolby Digital or DTS surround sound

processor. Note that you can still select

2-channel audio from the DVD’s menus.

• Stereo: This setting forces the RDV-1092

to downmix audio to 2-channel stereo for

output at the digital audio outputs. Use this
