Getting Started 

Use the HDMI OUT output to connect your player to your TV or video projector. 

Plug in and turn 

on the media player. The player will go through its initial start-up procedure (takes less than one 

minute).

If you experience a black screen or no video signal, please consult the following knowledge base:

rvolution.uservoice.com/knowledgebase

You will then be taken to a quick setup screen. Follow the steps to set the language, resolution, and 

network access.

Finally, you should see the main screen with access to the Video (R_video Media Center), and Explorer 

applications, among others, as well as 

Setup 

and 

Android Apps

.

To set the default language for audio tracks and subtitles for video content playback, go to 

Setup 

Playback 

and choose your preferred default language for audio tracks and subtitles. 

Audio settings

The 

Audio 

section of the 

Settings 

menu allows you to set preferences for audio output formats. If you 

are using an HDMI compatible multi-channel AV receiver, please set the 

Digital Audio Connector 

option to 

HDMI (HD Audio On)

. If your home theater amp / preamp is not HDMI compatible, set the 

Digital Audio Connector

 option to 

S/PDIF (HD audio off)

.

We recommend that you set the 

Digital audio output mode option

 to 

Auto

. But it may be a good idea 

to select 

PCM 

mode (with decoding) for certain types of audio formats like AAC if your AV receiver 

cannot decode this format. 

Bitstream 

mode always sends the audio stream to your AV receiver in an 

undecoded way. But in this mode, some audio formats may not work if your AV receiver does not 

support these formats.

In order to listen to music in lossless or uncompressed format, you can set the 

Maximum digital 

output sample rate

 option to 

192kHz

. However, please be careful because this mode can generate 

crackling in the speakers if you use an incompatible 192kHz amplifier or soundbar, or if you do not use 

an amplifier or soundbar at all (sound from the TV). In this case, select the 

Auto 

option.

Video settings

By default, the player automatically adjusts the video output according to the resolution of your television. 

It is strongly recommended to leave the resolution settings in 

Auto 

mode (in 

Setup

 > 

Video

). If your TV or 

projector is compatible, we recommend the 

Y'CbCr 4:4:4

 / 

10-bit 

or 

12-bit

 mode for the best video perfor-

mance. 

Warning!

 The higher you move up in the video output specifications, the higher the bit rate will be 

and will require a quality cable.

HDR 

To benefit from the best performance on HDR content, we invite you to go to 

Setup > Video > HDR and 

Dolby Vision settings

 and select 

Dolby VS10 processing for HDR, DV video

, in the 

HDR processing 

mode

 option instead of Auto.
