Introductory Information

Congratulations on buying this fine RCA product.
Please read through these operating instructions so you will know how to operate your model 
properly. After you have finished reading the instructions, put them away in a safe place for 
future reference.
Your RCA DVD/CD receiver system has the following benefits:

DTS* (Digital Theater Systems) Decoder Equipped

   — DTS is a digital sound system 

introduced in theaters. Playback of DVDs and CDs recorded in DTS audio creates the 
environment of a theater or the sensation of a concert hall in your home.

Dolby** Digital and Dolby Pro Logic II

— No need to worry about program formats! When 

playing Dolby Digital or Dolby Surround software in the Standard mode, decoding switches 
automatically according to the input signal. You can also use Dolby Pro Logic II to create a 
surround sound listening experience with stereo sources. 

Advanced Surround Modes

 — Five sound modes that enhance DTS and Dolby Surround 

performance by simulating the ambience of listening environments such as a movie theater 
(MOVIE) or a concert hall (MUSIC). The EXPANDED mode lets you enjoy Dolby Surround 
encoded software in simulated Dolby Digital. 6-CHANNEL STEREO gives multi-channel 
sound from stereo sources, and the VIRTUAL SURROUND BACK CHANNEL effect gives you 
an incredible surround sound listening experience by adding a simulated back surround 
speaker to your setup!

24-bit/96kHz Compatible DAC

 — RCA DVD/CD receiver system is fully compatible with 

high sampling-rate discs, capable of delivering better-than-CD sound quality in terms of 
dynamic range, low-level resolution and high-frequency detail.

MP3 and WMA Compatibility

 — RCA DVD/CD receiver system is compatible with CD-R, 

CD-RW and CD-ROM discs that contain MP3 or WMA audio tracks.

Graphical On-screen Displays

— Setting up and using your RCA DVD/CD receiver system is 

made very easy using the graphical on-screen displays.

Progressive Scan

 — When connected to a progressive scan-compatible TV or monitor using 

the component video outputs, you can enjoy extremely stable, flicker free images, with the 
same frame refresh rate as the original movie.
