ABOUT THE RT-10
Thank you for purchasing the RT-10 Disc Player, a reference-quality
universal disc transport designed to provide superior audio and
video performance with virtually any 3- or 5-inch optical media disc
format. Based on leading-edge DVD and SACD research, the RT-10
supports DVD-V, DVD-A, DVD-RW/R, SACD, Audio CD, CD-RW/R,
Video CD, and SVCD formats. It delivers exceptional sound quality
with Dolby Digital, DTS, and PCM (Linear or Packed) digital audio
sources. In addition, it supports most MPEG video and MP3 audio
sources.
With rear panel connectors befitting a reference-quality player, the
RT-10 includes the standard composite and S-video output
connectors, as well as progressive-scan component video output on
RCA or professional-grade BNC connectors. High-precision 12-bit/
108MHz D/A converters provide a pristine video image without
degradation during analog conversion. Progressive-scan component
video output converts interlaced video signals to progressive video
signals, doubling the amount of video information sent to a
compatible display device. The result is a higher quality, more
stable image with fewer video artifacts.
Video Adjust allows for exact, detailed adjustment of video settings
such as Pure Cinema, sharpness, white, black, gamma, hue, and
chroma levels, as well as luminance (YNR), chrominance (CNR),
mosquito (MNR), and black (BNR) noise reduction. Pure Cinema
automatically converts film sources recorded at 24 frames-per-
second to 60 frames-per-second to create a more natural picture.
The RT-10 offers six banks of Video Adjust settings, including three
preset banks for CRT, plasma, and professional display devices and
three memory banks for storage of user-defined Video Adjust
settings.
Digital audio sources are available on S/PDIF or analog audio output
connectors. Three digital audio output connectors – one S/PDIF
coaxial, one S/PDIF optical, and one AES/EBU – allow for external
decoding and processing of Dolby Digital, DTS, and PCM (Linear
or Packed) sources. Alternatively, built-in 24-bit/192kHz D/A
converters on all six analog audio output connectors allow high-
bandwidth formats such as DVD-A and SACD to deliver smooth,
expansive analog sound without sample rate conversion and digital
word length reduction.
Setup is simplified with color on-screen display menus that can be
customized for the desired level of control. The Setup Navigator
provides step-by-step guidance through the process of configuring
minimum settings. When activated, it presents a series of questions
that, when answered, allow the RT-10 to implement the correct
audio, video, and language settings.
The Setup menu provides access to more advanced controls.
Available in basic and expert display modes, the Setup menu can be
customized to include controls that are required to configure the
most common settings or to include all controls that are available.
In addition, the RT-10 allows the creation of up to five shortcuts,
which provide convenient access to frequently adjusted controls
without navigating through the entire Setup menu.
Built to Lexicon standards, the RT-10 represents a solid investment
that promises to complement the finest home theaters. With its
extensive compatibility, the RT-10 is sure to deliver exceptional
performance whether watching the latest blockbuster on DVD or
listening to a remix of an old favorite on SACD. Even the most
demanding enthusiast will be impressed with its unbeatable
combination of technology, flexibility, and simplicity.
