RDV-1050 DVD Player
Connecting to Audio
Equipment with a Digital Input
You can enhance the sound quality by con-
necting the OPTICAL DIGITAL OUTPUT
or
COAXIAL DIGITAL OUTPUT
of the
RDV-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 is
directly transferred. If you connect the unit to
a Dolby Digital or DTS decoder or an ampli-
fier with built-in decoder by using an optional
digital cable, you can enjoy high-quality sur-
round sound.
When you make the digital connection, also
make 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 Preference
menu settings for COMPRESSION and DOWN
MIX are disabled. Settings for these items must
be made from the decoder.
IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT
DIGITAL SIGNAL CONNECTION:
The Digital Audio Output setting in the Au-
dio Preferences on screen display must be
properly set for the type of output being
used when using an optical or coaxial digi-
tal signal connection. If this preference set-
ting is not done correctly, loud noise may be
generated which can damage the speakers.
Before using the RDV-1050 with a digital
signal connection be sure the proper type of
Digital Audio Output has been selected. See
the Audio Menu information in the Prefer-
ences Setting section of this manual.
Connecting to an Audio
Amplifier or Receiver
You will get better sound quality if you con-
nect the audio outputs of the RDV-1050 to a
high quality amplifier or receiver and use com-
ponent loudspeakers, rather than those built
into the television.
You can connect the front left and right AU-
DIO OUTPUTS
of the RDV-1050 to any
high level input (such as AUX, DVD, CD, etc.)
of an amplifier or receiver.
The RDV-1050 also has rear channel left and
right 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 of
the RDV-1050.
