ABOUT THE RT-20

Thank you for purchasing the RT-20 Disc Player, a reference-quality universal disc transport designed to provide superior audio and video performance with virtually any 3- or 5-inch optical media disc format. Based on leading-edge DVD and SACD research, the RT-20 supports DVD-V, DVD-A, DVD-R/RW, SACD, Audio CD, CD-R/RW, Video CD, and SVCD formats.

The RT-20 incorporates High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) technology which provides for direct uncompressed digital transmission to the display device. HDMI delivers pristine images free from any deterioration associated with analog interfaces. The RT-20 also delivers exceptional sound quality with Dolby Digital, DTS, and PCM (Linear or Packed) digital audio sources. In addition, it supports most MP3 audio sources as well as JPEG files.

With rear panel connectors befitting a reference-quality player, the RT-20 includes the standard composite and S-video output connectors, as well as progressive-scan component video output on RCA or professional-grade BNC connectors. High-precision 14-bit/ 216MHz D/A converters provide a video image without degradation during analog conversion. The video component out feature converts interlaced video signals to progressive video signals, doubling the amount of video information sent to a compatible display device. The result is a higher quality, more stable image with fewer video artifacts.

The Video Adjust feature allows for exact, detailed adjustment of video settings such as Progressive Motion, sharpness, white, black, gamma, hue, and chroma levels, as well as luminance (DNR), chrominance (CNR) noise reduction. The Progressive Motion feature automatically converts film sources recorded at 24 frames-per-second to 60 frames-per-second to create a more natural picture. The

RT-20 offers three banks of Video Adjust settings for storage of userdefined Video Adjust settings.

Digital audio sources are available on S/PDIF or analog audio output connectors. Three digital audio output connectors – one S/PDIF coaxial, one S/PDIF optical, and one AES/EBU – allow for external decoding and processing of Dolby Digital, DTS, and PCM (Linear or Packed) sources. Alternatively, built-in 24-bit/192kHz D/A converters on all six analog audio output connectors allow high-bandwidth formats such as DVD-A and SACD to deliver smooth, expansive analog sound without sample rate conversion and digital word length reduction.

Built to Lexicon standards, the RT-20 represents a solid investment that integrates into the finest home theaters. With its extensive compatibility, the RT-20 delivers exceptional performance whether you are watching the latest widescreen DVD, displaying a slideshow of your family album saved as JPEG files, or listening to old favorites on SACD or the latest MP3s on CD-R. Even the most demanding enthusiast will be impressed with its unbeatable combination of technological innovation, flexibility, and performance.

DO NOT install the RT-20 on a surface that is unstable or unable

to support all four of its feet (unless the RT-20 is installed in an equipment rack).

DO NOT stack the RT-20 directly above heat-producing compo-

nents such as power amplifiers and other stereo equipment that generate heat during use. Avoid installing the RT-20 near radiators and other heat-producing appliances.

DO NOT expose the RT-20 to high temperatures, direct sunlight,

humidity, steam, smoke, dampness, and excessive dust.

DO NOT install the RT-20 near unshielded TV or FM antennas,

cable TV decoders, and other RF emitting devices that might cause interference. Replace unshielded cables with shielded cables whenever possible.

DO NOT prevent proper cooling. Do not block or cover ventila-

tion slots and openings on the RT-20 with items such as newspapers, cloths, and curtains. Do not operate the RT-20 on a thick carpet, bed, sofa, or fabric with a thick pile.

1-3

Getting Started Lexicon

DO NOT expose the RT-20 to sudden or drastic temperature

changes, as this might cause condensation to form on the RT-20 lens. Although condensation will not damage the RT-20, it might temporarily impair performance. If this occurs, allow at least 1 hour for condensation to evaporate before attempting to load a disc.

DO NOT obstruct the front panel display remote control sensor.

Unless the RT-20 is using the IR IN connector, the remote control must be in line-of-sight with the front panel display remote control sensor. See “OPERATION CONSIDERATIONS” on page 2-13 for more information.

VIDEO CONNECTIONS

Note:

All video output connectors are active at all times unless deactivated with the remote control VIDEO ON/OFF button.

Whenever possible, use an HDMI connection for the best possible image quality. All versions offer an HDMI connector.

When an HDMI connection is not possible, use a component video output connection. All versions offer component video output on a group of RCA or BNC connectors.

Progressive-scan component video output is available on all component video output connectors. Compared to interlaced video signals, progressive-scan video signals double the amount of video information sent to a compatible display device. For highest picture quality, it is recommended to use a progressive-scan compatible display device. When connecting a progressive input TV with the component output of the RT-20, select Progressive in the Component Out setting. See “Component Out” on page 3-22.

When an HDMI or component video output connection is not possible, use an S-video output connection, which provides better picture quality than a composite video output connection. All versions offer S-video output on an S-video output connector.

S-video cables can be difficult to connect. As these cable plugs are keyed, it is important to insert them with the proper orientation to the connector. Make sure the cable plug is properly aligned with the connector before inserting. Then make sure the cable plug is fully inserted for a solid connection. When neither an HDMI, component nor S-video output connection is possible, use a composite video output connection. All versions offer composite video output on an RCA connector.

RT-20 Universal Disc Player Basic Operation

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 display 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 display 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.

RT-20 Universal Disc Player Basic Operation

REMOTE CONTROL OVERVIEW

The RT-20 remote control provides full operation of the RT-20, executing functions such as menu navigation that are not available from the front panel. The Command Matrix on page 2-14 to 2-18 describes the commands remote control buttons execute.

OPERATION CONSIDERATIONS

The bulleted items that begin below describe factors that can improve or impede remote control operation. You should observe these items and the battery installation instructions on page 1-9 before operating the remote control.

• If the RT-20 is not using the IR IN connector, the remote control must be in line-of-sight with the front panel display remote control sensor. Eliminate obstructions between the remote control and the remote control sensor. The remote control can become unreliable if strong sunlight or fluorescent light is shining on the remote control sensor.

• For optimal performance, position the remote control at a 30 degree angle no more than 17 feet (5m) from the RT-20 as shown below. If the RT-20 is placed inside a glass cabinet, smoked glass will reduce the remote control range.

• Remote controls for different components can interfere with one another. Avoid using remote controls for different components at the same time.

• The two AA batteries should be replaced as needed. See “REMOTE CONTROL BATTERY INSTALLATION” on page 1-9 for more information.

This remote control supports two remote codes: DVD2 and DVD1. The default is DVD2.

Be sure to set the REMOT CODE on the Front Panel Display menu to the same setting as the remote control. The Front Panel Display menu remote code default setting is DVD2.

To check which remote control code is currently set, hold down both the STOP and PAUSE buttons. The current code will be displayed on the RT-20 front panel display.

• To set the remote control to DVD1, hold down the remote control STOP button and number 1 button for at least 5 seconds.

• To set the remote control back to DVD2, hold down both the STOP button and the 2 number button on the remote control for at least 5 seconds.

Before output level calibration begins:

• You will need a Sound Pressure Level (SPL) meter to calibrate variable output levels. An SPL meter is a device that measures the relative loudness of each speaker to ensure accurate output level calibration. SPL meters are available at Radio Shack.

RT-20 Universal Disc Player Setup

• Calibration ensures that output levels correspond to THX reference levels (75dB) for input sources such as DVDs.

• Eliminate extraneous noises in the listening space such as conversations, air conditioners, and sounds that filter in through open doors and windows.

• Remove objects (including people) that obstruct the line-ofsight path between the SPL meter and the speaker being measured.

• Output levels should be calibrated to be consistent from the primary listening position. Place the SPL meter at the approximate spot where the listener’s head will be during listening.

• All output levels should be adjusted to achieve a 75dB SPL meter reading from the primary listening position.

• Activate the Test Tone for the associated analog audio output connector.

• Set the Screen Saver to Off. Test Tones automatically mute when the Lexicon screen saver appears on the on-screen display.

To set variable output levels:

HDMI RESOLUTION

Use to select the desired HDMI image resolution. Possible settings are: VGA <640 X 480>, 480p/576p (525p/625p), 720p (750p) and 1080i (1125i).

Resolution is defined by the number of horizontal lines displayed on screen that comprise each frame of a video image. The more lines of resolution used to create each frame of video, the greater the detail and sharpness of the image. For example, the resolution 480p refers to 480 horizontal lines of progressive video (the letter “p” stands for progressive video). 1080i refers to 1080 lines of interlaced video (The letter “i” stands for interlaced).

Most standard TV broadcasts have a resolution of 480i. Some DVDs and non-HDTV digital TV broadcasts use 480p. The Advanced Television System Committee (ATSC) specification for high-definition broadcasts and equipment requires the resolution of either 1080i or 720p. For best results set the HDMI resolution to match the native resolution of your high definition display.

To select the desired resolution:

Use the  and  buttons to select the desired setting and press ENTER.

The resolutions available for the HDMI output depend on the connected display device. See the user manual of your display device for more information.

After changing the resolution, if images are not properly displayed on the display device, use the STOP button to enter stop mode. Then, press and hold the remote control ENTER button for at least two seconds to open the Front Panel Display Menu. Then activate the HDMI RESET option. See “HDMI RESET” on page 3-34 for more information.

VGA can be output only when the TV System parameter is set to NTSC. See “TV System” on page 3-22.

When the resolution changes, the image may be corrupted or the output may take longer than normal to display. Unavailable resolution options are grayed out.

HDMI FORMAT

Use to select the desired HDMI Format. The following video-range settings are available: RGB-Normal and RGB-Expand. The following video pixel encoding options are available: YcbCr-1 (4:4:4) and YcbCr-2 (4:2:2). Through the HDMI connector, your display should choose the preferred setting. If both modes are supported by your display, select according to your personal preference.

For most video source material which uses a dynamic range of 16 (black) to 235 (white), select RGB-Normal format to provide headroom and the capability to display “below black” and “above white.” For computer graphics source material, select the RGB-Expand setting which uses the full RGB range.

The formats available for HDMI outputs depend on the connected display device. See the owner’s manual for your display device for more information.

For DVI, only RGB-Normal and RGB-Expand are available.

If your display device supports 0 IRE black, set the Black Setup parameter in the Video Adjustment menu to 0 IRE. See “Black Setup” on page 3-38 for more information.

Use to configure the HDMI audio output. Possible settings are Auto or PCM. Set to Auto when the connected device is set to Dolby Digital, DTS or MPEG. Set to PCM when audio is output as linear Pulse Code Modulation (PCM). If the connected device cannot accept bit streams, set to PCM. See the “HDMI Audio Setup Table” on page 3-33.

Note:

• Audio is not output from SACD or DVD-A discs with Copyright Protection for Pre-recorded Media (CPPM).

• Audio is not output when the RT-20 is connected to a device with a High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) -compatible DVI jack.

• All PCM signals are converted to 44.1kHz/48kHz.

• If DTS is played when connected equipment is set to PCM or Audio is set to PCM, analog audio output is not possible.

• Audio cannot be output when: the VIDEO ON/OFF button has turned off audio; and when in Pure Mode, video output has been set to OFF.

When the HDMI/DVI resolution is set to 720p or 1080i, only the 16:9 Wide and 16:9 Squeeze settings can be selected. The 4:3 ratio settings will be grayed out. See the table on the next page for examples of HDMI Resolution settings.

CNR (CHROMINANCE NOISE REDUCTION)

Controls the amount of noise reduction applied to the C component (chrominance) present in video signals.

SHARPNESS HIGH

Controls the sharpness of high-frequency (finely detailed) video signals.

SHARPNESS MID

Controls the sharpness of mid-frequency (less detailed) video signals.

Setup Lexicon

BLACK SETUP

Sets the black level of the video output to 0 IRE or 7.5 IRE. The correct or best setting sets the black setting to “true black,” but depends on the following factors: the source material, the selected video output format, and your video processor or display. A nonoptimum setting can create a displayed image with more noise, also requiring adjustments to the display’s brightness and contrast.

For most digital interfaces and Component video, select 0 IRE if your display supports that mode. If your display does not support 0 IRE black, then select 7.5 IRE. For CVBS or S-VHS, select 7.5 IRE.

The Black Setup parameter is related to but different from RGB-Normal and RGB-Expand, but you should carefully check these in tandem to ensure that you have optimally configured the RT-20.

CHROMA LEVEL

Controls the color saturation of video sources.

HUE

Controls the red-to-green color balance of video sources.
