Connect the COMPOSITE VIDEO output to the composite video input of your TV. Con­nect the ANALOG AUDIO 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-1040 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 RDV-1040 using an S-video cable in addition to the standard video cables. This will produce better picture quality.
NOTE: The Composite Video outputs should not be connected when the Compo­nent and/or S-Video outputs are connected.

Connecting to Audio Equipment with a Digital Input
You can enhance the sound quality by connect­ing the OPTICAL DIGITAL OUTPUT AXIAL DIGITAL OUTPUT
of the RDV-1040 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.
IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT DIGITAL SIGNAL CONNECTION:
The Digital Audio Output setting in the Au­dio Preferences on screen display must be properly set for the type of output being used when using an optical or coaxial digi­tal signal connection. If this preference set­ting is not done correctly, loud noise may be generated which can damage the speakers. Before using the RDV-1040 with a digital signal connection be sure the proper type of Digital Audio Output has been selected. See the Audio Menu information in the Prefer­ences Setting section of this manual.

Connecting the Power Cord
AC Input
Your RDV-1040 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. This may damage the cord and cause fire, electric shock, or other accidents. Con­tact your authorized Rotel 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.

NOTES:
If you change the RESUME setting from DISC RESUME to OFF or ON, you cannot resume playback of a disc whose “resum­ing” position is stored. However, when you reset RESUME to DISC RESUME, you will then be able to resume playback of the disc.
If you interrupt the playback of a disc for which an interrupted position has already been stored, the memory will be updated with the new interrupted position.
For a double-sided DVD VIDEO disc, the RDV-1040 regards each side as a different disc. Therefore, to resume playback of such a disc, the disc must be inserted with the same side down.
When the RDV-1040 memorizes an inter­rupted point for a disc, it also memorizes Audio, Subtitle and Angle settings.
The RDV-1040 may not resume playback exactly from the interrupted point. In the case of an SVCD/Video CD disc with PBC function, the RDV-1040 may resume play­back from a point slightly earlier or later than the point where playback was inter­rupted.

Basic MP3 Operations
Make sure that the TV/DVD switch 1on the remote control is set to “DVD” when using the  , numeric and TV/VIDEO - CANCEL buttons for controlling the RDV-1040.
The RDV-1040 can play back MP3 files and WMA files on a home recorded CD-R/RW disc or commercially available CD. We refer to a disc that contains MP3 and/or WMA files as an “MP3/WMA disc” in this manual.
If a disc contains both of MP3/WMA files and JPEG files, you can only play back files of the type selected by the MP3&WMA/JPEG setting in the PICTURE preference display.
About MP3/WMA Discs
On an MP3/WMA disc, each song is recorded as a file (track). Files are sometimes grouped into folders by artists, album, etc.
• Each file is regarded as a track.
•A folder which has one or more files is re­garded as a group.
•A folder which does not directly contain any tracks is ignored.
• Files which do not belong to any folder are grouped into “group 1.”
• The RDV-1040 recognizes up to 150 tracks per group, and up to 99 groups per disc. If there are files other than MP3/WMA files, they also count in the 150-file total.
Notes For Making Your Own MP3/WMA Disc Using a CD-R/CD-RW Disc
• Select “ISO 9660” as the disc format.
• For MP3 files, we recommend you record your material at a 44.1 kHz sampling rate, using the 128 kbps data transfer rate.
• For WMA files, make sure that the copyright feature is set to off.
• For WMA files, we recommend you record your material at a bit rate of 64 kbps or higher.

Glossary
Aspect ratio
A ratio which defines the shape of the rectan­gular picture in a TV. It is the width of the pic­ture relative to the height. A conventional TV picture has 4:3 in aspect ratio.
Bitstream
The digital form of multichannel audio data (e.g., 5.1-channel) before it is decoded into its various channels.
Chapter/title
Chapter is the smallest division and title is the largest division on DVD Video. A chapter is a division of a title and similar to a track for Video CD or Audio CD.
Component video

Composite video
A single video signal commonly used in most consumer video products that contains all lu­minance, color, and synchronization informa­tion.
Dolby Digital (AC3)
A six-channel system consisting of left, center, right, left rear, right rear and LFE (Low-Fre­quency Effect channel for use with a sub-woofer) channels. All processing is done in the digital domain. Not all Dolby Digital discs contain six (5.1) channels of information.
Dolby Surround/Dolby Pro Logic
Dolby Surround records four channels of front and rear audio in two channels in a way that allows a decoder to recover the original four channels for playback. Because the audio is recorded in two channels, it can be played back by a two-channel stereo system.
Dolby Pro Logic introduces directional circuits in decoder-side processing (increasing the level of specific channels and lowering the level of silent channels) for greater spatial perspective, and adds a center speaker used primarily for dialog. The result is enhanced channel sepa­ration.
Down-mix
Internal stereo mix of multichannel surround audio by a DVD player. The down-mix signals are output from stereo output connectors.
DTS
DTS stands for Digital Theater Systems, a Digital Surround audio encoding format configured with six (5.1) channels, similar to Dolby Digi­tal. It requires a decoder, either in the player or in an external receiver. Not all DTS discs contain six (5.1) channels of information.
Dynamic range
The difference between the loudest and soft­est sounds.
JPEG
A popular file format for still image compres­sion and storage. JPEG stands for Joint Pho­tographic Experts Group.
There are three sub-types of the JPEG format as follows.
• baseline JPEG: used for digital cameras, the web, etc.
• progressive JPEG: used for the web
•lossless JPEG: an old type, rarely used now
Linear PCM audio
PCM stands for “pulse code modulation.” Linear PCM is the usual method for digitally encod­ing audio without compression, and is used for the audio tracks on DVD Video discs, Au­dio CDs, etc.
MP3
MP3 is an audio data compression format, which stands for MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3. Us­ing MP3, you can achieve a data reduction of about 1:10.
MPEG
MPEG stands for Moving Picture coding Ex­perts Group. MPEG is a family of standards for compressing audio-visual infromation. “MPEG” standards include MPEG-1, MPEG­2 and MPEG-4. Video CD and MP3 are based on MPEG-1, while DVD is based on MPEG-
2.
MPEG Multichannel
This feature expands the 5.1 channel audio format recorded on the disc to a 7.1 channel format. The further expansion of the 5.1 channel audio makes it easy for you to reproduce the movie theater experience in your own home.
PAL (Phase Alternation by Line)
