User manual ROTEL RDV-1060

[. . . ] DANGER: Visible and invisible laser radiation when open and interlock failed or defeated. WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose the unit to moisture or water. If the unit is exposed to moisture, or a foreign object gets into the enclosure, immediately disconnect the power cord from the wall. Take the unit to a qualified service person for inspection and necessary repairs. [. . . ] The RDV-1060 determines how many lines are on the disc and then outputs the correct format to the monitor. Most TV monitors that can handle progressive signals can also display both PAL and NTSC video standards. The zoomed image moves up, down, left, or right to show the desired portion of the full image. The standard method (called interlaced scanning) displays two sets of lines alternating very quickly and visually merging into a single picture. Some people can see this alternating interlacing of lines as flicker leading to viewing fatigue. Furthermore, some detail is lost because only half of the information is actually displayed at any given moment. Progressive scan video images display all of the lines in a single group, so there is less perceived flicker, increased detail, and smoother motion. There are two different color TV systems worldwide: the European system (PAL) and the American system (NTSC). Both formats interlace the lines on the disc and leave it to the DVD player or the TV monitor to display them as interlaced or progressive video images. The RDV-1060 can display either interlaced or progressive scanned video, depending on the setting of the Progressive Scan button. Using the RDV-1060's Progressive Scan mode requires a TV monitor that can display progressive scan video images. To display progressive scan video, the TV monitor must be connected to the DVD player with component cables and connectors. The Progressive Scan feature is only available when using the Component Video (Y PR PB) output setting. Some DVD-Video discs have scenes that can be viewed from multiple user-selectable camera angles. Discs with multiple angles may provide menu screens for angle selection. Alternatively, you can select different angles (if available on the disc) by pressing the ANGLE button on the remote during playback. An icon appears on screen indicating which angle is selected and how many angles are available. When the Angle Mark feature is turned on in the configuration of the unit, an icon appears on screen when alternate angles are available, informing you that multiple angles are available for a scene and that the ANGLE button can be used. The P-SCAN indicator LED lights on the front panel while in progressive scan mode. DVD-Video discs can be classified into two types; film source and video source (Some DVD-Video discs contain both film source and video source material). Film sources are recorded as 24-frame per second information, while (NTSC) video sources are recorded as 30-frame per second information. The progressive scan circuitry in the RDV-1060 can be set to recognize film-type material and activate 3:2 reverse pulldown interpolation for the best picture. [. . . ] Make sure the DIGITAL output is activated when using a digital connection. No Power or unit freezes up after activating progressive scan in PAL systems: Progressive scan cannot be used with the SCART video output setting. To use progressive scan, make sure that the Component Video output setting is selected, not the SCART output setting. Unit does not operate properly: To reset the microprocessor, turn off the power, unplug the power cord, and reconnect the power cord. [. . . ]
