CONNECTIONS

This section describes the back-panel connec-

tions and settings that must be made during

installation of the RDV-1093. These include the

power connection, audio output connections,

video output connections, and selecting of the

video standard for your TV. In addition, there

are optional connections for an external IR

remote signal, a +12V turn-on trigger, and

an I/O port for computer control.

NOTE: To prevent loud noises, make sure

the DVD player and the rest of the system is

turned off when making connections.

Cable Selection

Use standard audio cables with RCA connec-

tors for analog audio connections. Use the

following color code:

Left channel audio: white

Right channel audio: red

Choose from three different types of analog

video cables. For composite video, use a single

75 ohm video cable with an RCA connector

at each end. For S-Video, use an S-Video

cable with a special multi-pin connector at

each end. For component video, use a set

of three matching 75 ohm video cables with

RCA connectors at each end. Use the following

standard color code:

Composite video: yellow

Component video (Y): green

Component video (PB): blue

Component video (PR): red

NOTE: Do not use standard audio cables in

place of 75 ohm video cables. Audio cables

will usually pass the signal, but will degrade

the quality.

Choose from two different types of digital

video cables. For connection to a TV or video

processor with an HDMI input, use an HDMI

cable. For connection to a DVI input, use an

HDMI-to-DVI cable.

Use standard optical digital cables for optical

digital signals. Be sure to remove the protective

covers from the ends of the cable. Use 75 ohm

digital audio cables with an RCA connector

on each end for coax digital audio.

Coax digital: black

NOTE: You can substitute a 75 ohm video

cable for a coax digital cable, but do not

substitute conventional audio interconnect

cables for digital signals.

When making signal connections, follow the

color codes carefully.

Audio Connections

Digital audio outputs supply an un-

decoded digital audio signal for use with

a surround processor’s decoding and D/A

converters. This is the preferred connection

when using the RDV-1093 with a Dolby Digital/

DTS surround processor.

Analog audio outputs supply up to 5.1

channels of decoded analog audio. Use these

connections when connecting the RDV-1093

to a receiver or TV set that does not have its

own Dolby Digital and DTS decoding, or for

passing multichannel DVD-Audio PCM signals

to the analog inputs of a receiver.

Analog Audio Outputs

See Figure 8 and 9

Two sets of RCA jacks, labeled ANALOG OUT

sends either six channels of decoded analog

audio (front left, front right, rear left, rear

right, center, and subwoofer) or two channels

of stereo analog audio from the RDV-1093 to

the analog audio inputs of an audio surround

processor, preampliﬁer, integrated ampliﬁer,

receiver or TV set.

To a surround processor with 5.1

channel inputs, use RCA audio cables to

connect the six outputs labeled 5.1CH to the

matching multichannel inputs on the surround

processor (L to front left, R to front right, LS to

left surround, RS to right surround, C to center

channel, SUB to subwoofer, etc.)

To a stereo preamp, processor, or TV

set with 2-channel inputs, use the pair

of RCA outputs labeled STEREO. Connect the

STEREO L output to the left audio input of the

TV or receiver and the STEREO R output to the

right audio input.

Typically, the STEREO outputs send a matrix

encoded stereo signal to the surround processor.

See the Speaker Size topic in the Setup section

of this manual for information on matching

the analog output signal to your preamp or

processor.

NOTE: The analog audio outputs are typi-

cally used only with DVD-Audio discs or

with surround processors or TV sets that do

not have Dolby Digital or DTS processing. If

your processor has Dolby Digital and DTS

decoding, you will not need to make any

analog audio connections to play video

DVDs; one digital connection (described in

the following section) will suffice.

Digital Audio Outputs

See Figure 10

The RDV-1093’s digital outputs provide a

digital audio bitstream, which must be used

with a processor that accepts a digital signal

and has its own Dolby Digital and/or DTS

decoding. There are two types of outputs for

the digital audio signal: an optical output and

a coaxial output. Use whichever you prefer.

If you choose the optical connection, remove

the plastic cap protecting the connector and

save it for future use.

Connect the cable of your choice (optical or

coaxial) from the DIGITAL OUT connectors of

the RDV-1093 to the matching digital input on

the surround processor.

You will probably need to select the correct

digital input on your surround processor, using

its setup menus.

NOTE: See the Audio Setup Menu in the

Setup section of this manual for information

on selecting the right type of digital output

signal for your processor.

Video Connections

Video outputs send the video signal from the

DVD player to the surround processor, video

processor, or TV set. A key feature of the

RDV-1093 is that it can send a video signal to

any high deﬁnition or standard deﬁnition TV

monitor in exactly the format that best matches

the native mode and resolution of the TV.

Digital HDTVs, such as LCD and plasma ﬂat

screens, display digital signals directly. These

TVs should be connected to the RDV-1093

using the HDMI digital output.

Analog HDTVs, such as CRT and rear-projec

tion sets, display analog signals. Although

these can be connected with an HDMI cable

these TVs should generally be connected with

analog Component Video cables to avoid

an unnecessary digital-to-analog conversion

in the TV.
