Audio/Video Connections

IMPORTANT NOTE

FOR 5.1 CHANNEL OPERATION:

Before using the RDV-995 in a 5.1 channel system see the instructions on page 8 regarding the correct setting of the Digital Audio Output preferences.

NOTE: Do not plug in the power cable until all audio/video signal connections are complete. Do not change any audio/video cable connections until the RDV-995 has been unplugged from the power outlet.

Carefully read the instructions supplied with the component you are going to connect to the RDV-995 to be sure they are compatible. If you have questions, contact your authorized Rotel dealer.

NTSC/PAL Switch 15

Set the NTSC/PAL switch to the proper setting for your TV. Television systems in North America use the NTSC standard. Set the NTSC/PAL switch before the RDV-995 is turned on. It cannot be changed when the unit is on.

NOTE: Connect VIDEO OUT of the unit directly to the video input of your TV. Connecting VIDEO OUT to a TV via a VCR may result in unacceptable video quality because many discs are copy-protected.

Composite Input TV Connection

Connect the COMPOSITE VIDEO 10 output to the composite video input of your TV. Connect the ANALOG AUDIO 11 outputs to the audio inputs of your TV. A cable for these connections is supplied.

If your TV has a single monaural audio input instead of a pair of stereo inputs, you need to use a "Y" cable adapter to connect the two output channels of the RDV-995 to the single input.

You can improve the sound quality of the system by connecting the audio outputs to a separate hi-fi audio system. (See the following section.)

If your TV has an S-video input, you should connect it with the S-VIDEO 13 output of RDV-995 using the supplied S-video cable in addition to the standard video cables. This will produce better picture quality.

Component Input TV Connection

For use with NTSC televisions. Do not use with PAL televisions.

If your TV has component video signal input jacks you will get better video performance by using the COMPONENT VIDEO 14 output jacks of the RDV-995. The required cable is not provided. Be sure to connect the "Y" output to the "Y" input, "PB" output to the "PB" input, and the "PR" output to the "PR" input.

If your TV has an S-video input, you should connect it with the S-VIDEO 13 output of RDV-995 using the supplied S-video cable in addition to the standard video cables. This will produce better picture quality.

NOTE: If you do not connect the S-Video cable between the two components some functions of your TV may not work.

You can improve the sound quality of the system by connecting the audio outputs to a separate hi-fi audio system. (See the following section.)

NOTE: The component signal inputs on some TV's have BNC type connectors. (BNC connectors are coaxial connectors that have keyed locking collars.) In such instances adapters or a special cable may be needed.

Connecting to Audio Equipment with a Digital Input

You can enhance the sound quality by connecting the OPTICAL DIGITAL OUTPUT 16 or COAXIAL DIGITAL OUTPUT 17 of the RDV-995 to the digital input of an amplifier, DAT or MD by using an optional digital cable. The digital stereo audio signal from a disc is directly transferred. If you connect the unit to a Dolby Digital or DTS decoder or an amplifier with built-in decoder by using an optional digital cable, you can enjoy high-quality surround sound.

When you make the digital connection, also make the analog connection, because, depending on the disc type, no audio may be reproduced from the DIGITAL OUTPUT.

With the digital connection, the Preference menu settings for COMPRESSION and DOWN MIX are disabled. Settings for these items must be made from the decoder.

Your RDV-995 is configured at the factory for the proper AC line voltage in the country where you purchased it (USA: 115 volts/60Hz AC or CE: 230 volts/50Hz AC). The AC line configuration is noted on a decal on the back of your unit.

After all the audio/video connections have been made, plug the supplied power cord into the AC INPUT receptacle on the back of the unit. Then insert the power plug into an AC wall outlet. The STANDBY indicator lights and setup is complete. Note that a small amount of power (3 watts) is always used while the power cord is connected to the wall outlet.

Observe the following precautions:

  • Do not connect or disconnect the power cord with wet hands.
  • Disconnect the power cord if you are not going to use the unit for a long time.
  • When unplugging the player from the wall outlet, always pull the plug, not the power cord.
  • Disconnect the power cord before cleaning the unit.
  • Disconnect the power cord before moving the unit.
  • Do not damage, alter, twist, or pull the power cord, as this may damage the cord and cause fire, electric shock, or other accidents. Contact a dealer and get a new power cord if the cord is damaged.
  • Do not put anything heavy, on the unit, or the power cord, as this may cause fire, electric shock, or other accidents.

Care and Handling of Discs

How to Handle Discs

When handling a disc, do not touch its surface.

ROTEL RDV995 - How to Handle Discs - 1

natural_image Two hand-drawn diagrams showing a device being placed on a base, with no visible text or symbols.

Since discs are made of plastic, they are easily damaged. If a disc gets dirty, dusty, scratched or warped, the images and sound will not be picked up correctly. A damaged disc may cause the player to malfunction.

Label side

Do not damage the label side, stick paper to or use any adhesive on its surface.

Storage

Make sure that discs are kept in their cases. If discs are piled on top of one another without their protective cases, they can be damaged. Do not put discs in a location where they may be exposed to direct sunlight, or in a place where the humidity or temperature is high. Avoid leaving discs in your car!

Maintenance of discs

If there are fingerprints or other dirt adhering to a disc, wipe with a soft dry cloth, moving from the center outwards. If a disc is difficult to clean, wipe with a cloth moistened with water. Never use record cleaners, petroleum products, alcohol or any anti-static agents.
