(left/right) analog audio, composite video,
component video, or RGB video signals. If you
are connecting the RDV-1060 directly to a
SCART equipped TV, this should be the only
connection you need to make. Simply plug an
appropriate SCART cable into the output on
the RVD-1060 and an input on your TV.

NOTE

: For 5.1 channel Dolby Digital/DTS sur-

round, you will also need to use the DIGITAL
OUTPUT connection or the 5.1 channel ana-
log audio connections from the RDV-1060 to
your surround processor.

NTSC/PAL Switch

Various regions of the world use two differ-
ent video standards. The US uses the NTSC
standard while most countries in Europe use
the PAL standard. The output of the RDV-1060
must be set to match the standard your TV
accepts. Put the switch in the

left position for

use with NTSC video equipment. Put it in the
right position for the use with PAL equipment.

NOTE

: This switch only relates to the hardware

configuration of your TV set and other com-
ponents. Regardless of the setting, the
RDV-1060 can play DVD discs encoded in
either format, converting the signal to the for-
mat selected with the NTSC/PAL switch.

Other Connections

AC Power Input

It is best to plug the RDV-1060 directly into a
2-pin polarized wall outlet. Avoid the use of
extension cords.

Your RDV-1060 will automatically configure
itself for the proper AC line voltage ranging
from 110 volts to 240 volts at 50/60Hz. No
setting is required to match the unit to your
local voltage.

Plug the supplied cord into the AC INPUT re-
ceptacle on the back of the unit. After all con-
nections have been made, plug the cord into
an appropriate AC wall outlet.

NOTE

: If you are away from home for an ex-

tended period of time, it is a sensible precau-
tion to unplug your audio/video components.

EXT REM IN

The EXT REM IN receives IR command codes
relayed from an infrared receiver (Xantech,
etc.) or from the matching EXT REM OUT con-
nector on Rotel surround processors. This feature
may be useful when the unit is installed in a
cabinet and its front-panel IR sensor is blocked.
Consult your authorized Rotel dealer for in-
formation on IR receivers and the proper wir-
ing of a cable with 3.5 mm plugs to fit the
connector.

12V TRIGGER Connections

The RDV-1060 can be activated by a remote
12 volt trigger signal from a Rotel surround
processor. This connection provides an input
to receive the 12 volt trigger signal.

The trigger input accepts any control signal
(AC or DC) ranging from 3 volts to 30 volts.
When a cable is connected to the input and
a trigger signal is present, the DVD player is
activated. When the trigger signal is interrupted,
the unit goes into standby mode. The front panel
indicator light remains lit, but the display goes
dark and the unit will not operate. Consult your
authorized Rotel dealer for information on the
12V TRIGGER and the proper wiring of a plug
to fit the connector.

NOTE

: When using the 12V Trigger feature,

leave the POWER button in the ON position.

Computer I/O

The RDV-1060 can be operated from a com-
puter with audio system control software from
third-party developers. This control is accom-
plished by sending operating codes from the
computer via a hard-wired RS-232 serial con-
nection.

The COMPUTER I/O input provides the nec-
essary network connections on the back panel.
It accepts standard RJ-45 8-pin modular plugs,
such as those commonly used in 10-BaseT UTP
Ethernet cabling.

For additional information on the connections,
cabling, software, and operating codes for
computer control of the RDV-1060, contact your
authorized Rotel dealer.

OPERATING THE

RDV-1060

The RDV-1060 can be operated from the front-
panel or the remote control.

To guide you through the operation of the
RDV-1060, this section of the manual starts
with explaining the basic layout and function
of the front panel and the remote control. Then,
we explain the basic operations such as turn-

lowing that is explanation of more advanced
playback options and additional features. The
last section of the manual (

tions that may be selected during initial con-
figuration of the unit, many of which will be
set once and left untouched.

refer to the RDV-1060 illustration at the front
of this manual. Letters refer to the RR-DV94 re-
mote illustration. When both appear, the func-
tion is found on both the RDV-1060 and the
remote. When only one appears, that func-
tion is found only on the RDV-1060 or the re-
mote.

On-Screen Display

The RDV-1060 displays icons, status indica-
tors, and interactive menus on the TV moni-
