HDMI CONNECTION
All versions of the RT-20 offer an HDMI output. A single HDMI
cable transmits uncompressed video data and digital audio data
(e.g., LPCM or bit stream data such as Dolby Digital, DTS, or
MPEG). See the “HDMI Menu Options” on page 3-29.
HDMI transmits the DVD image directly as digital data without first
converting it into analog format. This ensures the highest quality
image.
Note:
The HDMI output of the RT-20 can be connected to a DVI jack on a dis-
play device using a conversion adapter. In this case, it is necessary to
use a display device with an HDCP-compatible DVI input.
Your display device must be compatible with HDMI to properly dis-
play the image. Refer to the owner’s manual of your display device
for compatibility information.
Video and audio are not output from the HDMI output when Video
out is set to Off with the remote control VIDEO ON/OFF button.
Note:
When both devices are powered on and are compatible, the front
panel HDMI/DVI LED will light green.
TV A/V CONNECTIONS
Some versions include a SCART (also called a Euro or Peritel) con-
nector labeled TV A/V EUROCONNECTOR that offers composite,
S-video, or RGB video and two channels of audio output. When
making this connection, use a 21-pin male-to-male SCART cable
with a SCART plug on both ends. The Video Out parameter con-
trols video output format when this connection method is used.
See the illustration and table below for more information.
