4: Digital Audio Connections

Analog Down Mix

This setting determines how multichannel sur-
round sound recordings (Dolby Digital, DTS,
MPEG) are down mixed to two channels for
output from the analog audio jacks on the
RDV-03. This setting does not alter the digi-
tal outputs at all.

• DOLBY SURROUND:

Use this setting

when connecting the RDV-03 to a surround
sound system with Dolby Pro Logic or Pro
Logic II decoding.

• STEREO:

Use this setting when connecting

the RDV-03 to a conventional 2-channel
stereo system or TV monitor or if you want
to record the audio from a DVD VIDEO
disc to MiniDisc, cassette, etc.

NOTE

This setting has no effect when the VSS

function is activated. VSS outputs a virtual sur-
round sound signal that simulates surround
sound from a two-channel system.

Dynamic Range Control

Dolby Digital recordings are capable of wide
dynamic range (the difference between the
softest and loudest sounds). In some cases,
this may the audio system. In other cases,
you may want to reduce the dynamic range
when listening at low volume levels.

This setting has no impact on the digital output
of the RDV-03. It only changes the dynamic
range of the analog signal from the left/right
RCA audio outputs.

• WIDE RANGE:

full dynamic range; no

compression.

• NORMAL:

slightly reduced dynamic

range, comparable to the signal from a
compact disc. Use this setting with a mod-
est audio system.

• TV MODE:

more heavily reduced dy-

namic range, comparable to the signal
from a typical VHS Hi-Fi recording. Use
this setting when connecting the RDV-03
to a TV monitor’s internal speakers or to
a modest low-power audio system.

NOTE

The Dynamic Range Compression fea-

ture ONLY affects Dolby Digital signals.

Output Level

This setting is used to reduce the output level
of the analog audio outputs. It has no impact
on the digital output of the RDV-03. It only
changes the dynamic range of the analog sig-
nal from the left/right RCA audio outputs.

• NORMAL:

The standard setting, suitable

for use with most audio systems and TV
monitors.

• LOW:

This setting reduces the level of the

analog audio outputs. Select this if the
analog signal is overloading the inputs
of your stereo system or TV and causing
distortion.

The Resume feature stores the current location
when DVD playback is stopped; allowing
playback to be resumed from that point.

• ON:

Select to enable the resume feature.

The resume point is stored until the disc
drawer is opened.

• OFF:

Select to disable the resume feature.

Playback will always resume at the begin-
ning of the disc.

• DISC RESUME:

Select to store the re-

sume points of the last 30 discs that have
been played. The next time any of these
discs is inserted, playback resumes at the
memorized point.

On-Screen Guide

The DVD player can display icons and status
indicators for several features on the TV set.
These icons alert you to the availability of
multi-view angles, multilingual subtitles, and
multilingual sound tracks on a DVD. Status
indicators show the play mode, rapid play
speed, etc. Generally, these icons are use-
ful; however, you may wish to turn them off
when recording a DVD. The ability to display
the On-Screen status bar at any time is not
affected by this selection.

• ON:

Select to enable the Guide fea-

ture.

• OFF:

Select to disable the Guide fea-

ture.

Auto Standby

The RDV-03 can automatically turn off when
DVD playback has ﬁnished and no additional
commands are received for a speciﬁed time.
This prevents a DVD from returning to a static
menu screen if it is left unattended. There are
three settings:

• 60:

Auto Standby turns off the unit after

60 minutes of inactivity.

• 30:

Auto Standby turns off the unit after

40 minutes of inactivity.

• OFF:

Disables the Auto Standby fea-

ture.
