Connecting to AudioEquipment with a Digital Input

You can enhance the sound quality by con-necting the OPTICAL DIGITAL OUTPUT orCOAXIAL DIGITAL OUTPUT of theRDV-1050 to the digital input of an amplifier,DAT or MD by using an optional digital cable.The digital stereo audio signal from a disc isdirectly transferred. If you connect the unit toa Dolby Digital or DTS decoder or an ampli-fier with built-in decoder by using an optionaldigital cable, you can enjoy high-quality sur-round sound.

When you make the digital connection, alsomake the analog connection, because, depend-ing on the disc type, no audio may be repro-duced from the DIGITAL OUTPUT.

With the digital connection, the Preferencemenu settings for COMPRESSION and DOWNMIX are disabled. Settings for these items mustbe made from the decoder.

IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUTDIGITAL SIGNAL CONNECTION:The Digital Audio Output setting in the Au-dio Preferences on screen display must beproperly set for the type of output beingused when using an optical or coaxial digi-tal signal connection. If this preference set-ting is not done correctly, loud noise may begenerated which can damage the speakers.Before using the RDV-1050 with a digitalsignal connection be sure the proper type ofDigital Audio Output has been selected. Seethe Audio Menu information in the Prefer-ences Setting section of this manual.

Connecting to an AudioAmplifier or Receiver

You will get better sound quality if you con-nect the audio outputs of the RDV-1050 to ahigh quality amplifier or receiver and use com-ponent loudspeakers, rather than those builtinto the television.

You can connect the front left and right AU-DIO OUTPUTS of the RDV-1050 to anyhigh level input (such as AUX, DVD, CD, etc.)of an amplifier or receiver.

The RDV-1050 also has rear channel left andright outputs and outputs for a center chan-nel and a subwoofer. If your receiver, ampli-fier or surround processor has 5.1 channel in-puts, you can connect these to the outputs ofthe RDV-1050.

About JPEG DiscsThe RDV-1050 can play back JPEG files ona home recorded CD-R/RW disc. We referto a disc that contains JPEG files as a “JPEGdisc” in this manual.

Note that if a disc contains both of MP3/WMAfiles and JPEG files, you can only play backfiles of the type selected by the MP3&WMA/JPEG setting in the PICTURE preference dis-play

On a JPEG disc, each picture is recorded asa file. Files are sometimes grouped into fold-ers by category, etc.

• A folder which has one or more files is re-garded as a group.

• A folder which does not directly contain anyfiles is ignored.

• Files which do not belong to any folder aregrouped into “group 1.”

• The RDV-1050 recognizes up to 150 filesper group, and up to 99 groups per disc.If there are files other than JPEG files, theyalso count against the 150-file total.

Notes for Making JPEG DiscUsing a CD-R/CD-RW Disc• Select “ISO 9660” as the disc format.

• Record your material at a 640 x 480 pixelresolution.

• The RDV-1050 supports the baseline JPEGformat.

MPEGMPEG stands for Moving Picture coding Ex-perts Group. MPEG is a family of standardsfor compressing audio-visual information.“MPEG” standards include MPEG-1, MPEG-2 and MPEG-4. Video CD and MP3 are basedon MPEG-1, while DVD is based on MPEG-2.

MPEG MultichannelThis feature expands the 5.1 channel audioformat recorded on the disc to a 7.1 channelformat. The further expansion of the 5.1 chan-nel audio makes it easy for you to reproducethe movie theater experience in your ownhome.

NTSC (National television systemcommittee - U.S. version)A black and white and color television sys-tem format used in the U.S.A., Canada, Mexicoand Japan.

PAL (Phase Alternation by Line)A color television system format used exten-sively in Western Europe.

PBCPBC stands for “Playback control” and is amethod of controlling disc play for Video CDs(VCD). You are able to interact with the discthrough menus.

Progressive scanningProgressive scanning displays all the horizontallines of a picture at one time, as a single frame.A progressive scanning DVD unit converts theinterlaced video from DVD into progressiveformat for connection to a progressive display.It dramatically increases the vertical resolu-tion.

RGBAn abbreviation for Red, Green and Blue.Color monitors and color television sets dis-play different hues by mixing these three col-ors.

S-videoA video signal which improves picture qual-ity over standard composite connections. Usedon Super VHS, DVD, high end TV monitors,etc.

TrackThe smallest division on SVCD, Video CD andAudio CD discs.

GlossaryAspect ratioA ratio which defines the shape of the rect-angular picture in a TV. It is the width of thepicture relative to the height. A conventionalTV picture has 4:3 in aspect ratio.

Bit rateShows the number of digital informationneeded to play back sound for 1 second. Thebit rate is expressed in bits per second.

BitstreamThe digital form of multichannel audio data(e.g., 5.1-channel) before it is decoded intoits various channels.

Chapter/titleChapter is the smallest division and title is thelargest division on DVD Video. A chapter isa division of a title and similar to a track forVideo CD or Audio CD.

Component videoVideo signals with three separate channels ofinformation that make up the picture. Thereare several types of component video, suchas R/G/B and Y/CB(PB)/CR(PR).

Composite videoA single video signal commonly used in mostconsumer video products that contains all lu-minance, color, and synchronization informa-tion.

Dolby Digital (AC3)A six-channel system consisting of left, cen-ter, right, left rear, right rear and LFE (Low-Frequency Effect channel for use with a sub-woofer) channels. All processing is done inthe digital domain. Not all Dolby Digital discscontain six (5.1) channels of information.

Dolby Surround/Dolby Pro LogicDolby Surround records four channels of frontand rear audio in two channels in a way thatallows a decoder to recover the original fourchannels for playback. Because the audio isrecorded in two channels, it can be playedback by a two-channel stereo system.

Dolby Pro Logic introduces directional circuitsin decoder-side processing (increasing the levelof specific channels and lowering the level ofsilent channels) for greater spatial perspec-tive, and adds a center speaker used prima-rily for dialog. The result is enhanced chan-nel separation.

Down-mixInternal stereo mix of multichannel surroundaudio by a DVD player. The down-mix sig-nals are output from stereo output connectors.

DTSDTS stands for Digital Theater Systems, a DigitalSurround audio encoding format configuredwith six (5.1) channels, similar to Dolby Digital.It requires a decoder, either in the player orin an external receiver. Not all DTS discs con-tain six (5.1) channels of information.

Dynamic rangeThe difference between the loudest and soft-est sounds.

GroupThe largest division on DVD AUDIO.

Interlaced scanningIn a conventional video system, a picture isshown on the display monitor in between linesof two halves. The Interlaced scanning systemplaces lines of the second half of the picturein-between lines of the first half of the picture.

JPEGA popular file format for still image compres-sion and storage. JPEG stands for Joint Pho-tographic Experts Group.

There are three sub-types of the JPEG formatas follows.• baseline JPEG: used for digital cameras, theweb, etc.• progressive JPEG: used for the web• lossless JPEG: an old type, rarely used now

Linear PCM audioPCM stands for “pulse code modulation.” Lin-ear PCM is the usual method for digitally en-coding audio without compression, and is usedfor the audio tracks on DVD Video discs, Au-dio CDs, etc.

MLPMLP stands for “Meridian Lossless Packing.”A lossless audio compression system that cancompletely recreate the PCM signal.

MP3MP3 is an audio data compression format,which stands for MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3. UsingMP3, you can achieve a data reduction ofabout 1:10.
