Precautions
Please read this manual carefully . In addition
to basic installation and operating instructions,
it provides valuable information on various
system configurations as well as general information that will help you get the most from
your system. Please contact your authorized
Rotel dealer for answers to any questions you
might have. In addition, all of us at Rotel welcome your questions and comments.
Save the RDV-985 shipping carton and all enclosed packing material for future use. Shipping or moving the RDV-985 in anything other
than the original packing material may result in severe damage.
Be sure to keep the original sales receipt. It
is your best record of the date of purchase,
which you will need in the event warranty service is ever required.
Placement
Place the RDV-985 on a surface that is level,
dry and neither too hot nor too cold (between
5˚C and 35˚C, 41˚F and 95˚F). Do not place
the unit where it will be exposed to direct
sunlight. Avoid locations that are dusty. Do
not place the unit too close to the television
set. Do not place the RDV-985 where it will
be exposed to vibrations, such as near a subwoofer. To ensure proper ventilation observe
the minimum clearance specifications listed
in the safety information on page 2.
Audio/Video Connections
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-985 has
been unplugged from the power outlet.
Carefully read the instructions supplied with
the component you are going to connect to
the RDV-985 to be sure they are compatible.
If you have questions, contact your authorized
Rotel dealer.
NTSC/PAL Switch
Set the NTSC/PAL switch to the proper setting for your TV. Television systems in North
America use the NTSC standard.
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.
T roubleshooting
What appears to be a malfunction may not always be serious. Please go through the following list before requesting service.

Care and Handling of Discs
How to Handle Discs
When handling a disc, do not touch its surface.
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.
Composite Input TV Connection
Connect the COMPOSITE VIDEO output
to the composite video input of your TV . Connect the ANALOG AUDIO
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-985 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
output of
RDV-985 using the supplied S-video cable in
addition to the standard video cables. This will
produce better picture quality.
Component Input TV Connection
If your TV has component video signal input
jacks you will get better video performance
by using the COMPONENT VIDEO
put jacks of the RDV-985. The required cable
is not provided. Be sure to connect the “Y”
output to the “Y” input, “P
input, and the “P
B” output to the “PB”
R” output to the “PR” input.
If your TV has an S-video input, you should
connect it with the S-VIDEO
RDV-985 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

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 DIGITAL OUTPUT
(optical) of
the RDV-985 to the digital input of an amplifier, DA T 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 highquality 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.
NOTE: When you connect the unit's DIGITAL OUT to digital audio equipment, before using, make the “DIGITAL AUDIO
OUTPUT” setting in the “PREFERENCE 2”
on-screen display correct for the digital
sound processor. If the “DIGITAL AUDIO
OUTPUT” is not set correctly, loud noise
may be generated from speakers, possibly
damaging them. See “DIGITAL AUDIO
OUTPUT” on page 24.
With the digital connection, the unit’ s settings
for COMPRESSION and DOWN MIX are
disabled. Settings for these items must be made
from the decoder.
Connecting to an Audio
Amplifier or Receiver
You will get better sound quality if you connect the audio outputs of the RDV-985 to a
high quality amplifier or receiver and use
component loudspeakers, rather than those
built in to the television.
Connect the ANALOG OUTPUTS
RDV-985 to any high level input (such as AUX,
DVD, CD, etc.) of an amplifier or receiver.
