User manual ROTEL RT-850

[. . . ] Read all the instructions before connecting or operating the component. Heed all warnings and safety information in these instructions and on the product itself. You must allow 10 cm or 4 inches of unobstructed clearance around the unit. Do not place the unit on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface that could block the ventilation openings. [. . . ] If you chose to use S-Video or Component Video connections, be aware of the following implications for the configuration of your system: On Screen Menu Display: The RT-850 ON-SCREEN MENU system is available for all inputs when using a Composite or S-Video cable from the TV MONITOR outputs to the TV set. The ON-SCREEN MENU is not available when using Component video cables. System Set-Up: System setup should be done while using a Composite video or S-Video cable connecting the RT-850 TV MONITOR outputs to the video inputs of the TV or projector. Select OSD ( ON-SCREEN MENU) from the RR-969 remote control to complete system setup. NOTE: On a PAL standard monitor, the OSD cannot be displayed until a video signal is present, irrespective of the type of video cables in use. For setup, connect the video output from your DVD player and select its input on the RT-850. The OSD will be displayed as an overlay to the video signal from the DVD player. However, both Composite and S-Video cables may be connected from the RT-850 TV MONITOR outputs to both Composite and S-Video inputs on a TV or projector. This dual connection from the RT-850 will provide limited S-Video capability in a system that is predominantly connected with Composite video cables. When both Composite and S-Video cables are connected from the same source, only S-Video will be available at the RT-850 S-Video TV MONITOR outputs. This dual connection can be used to provide video taping in a system that is predominantly connected with S-Video cables, but also includes a VCR with Composite video. Audio Source Connections Connect your audio-only source components to these RCA inputs and outputs: Video cables should have a 75 ohm impedance rating. The S/PDIF digital audio interface standard also specifies a 75 ohm impedance and all good digital cables adhere to this requirement. Because the video and S/PDIF standards are so close, you can use a video cable for digital audio data transmission. As a general rule, using RCA composite video connections will simply system setup and operation. NOTE: There are also video record outputs (described in a following section) which correspond to three of the video source inputs ­ Video 1, 2, and 3). For this reason, you should plan ahead and designate each source component as Video 1, Video 2, etc. All connections (both input and output) from a source component must be made consistently to the same set of connections. For example, all input and output connections to a particular VCR could be made to Video 1 connectors. left channel signals connected to left channel inputs/outputs and right channel signals connected to right channel inputs/ outputs. NOTE: These video source inputs can also be used for additional audio-only sources, omitting the video signal connections. Signals from S-Video inputs will only be available at the S-Video outputs to the TV. NOTE: VIDEO 1­2 Component Video Inputs Component Video connections split the video into three signals ­ luminance (Y) and separate chrominance (CB and CR) elements, allowing delivery of a reference-quality picture. Each of these signals is carried by a separate 75 ohm video cable with RCA connectors. The VIDEO 1 and VIDEO 2 source inputs provide an option for using Component Video connections. If you choose to use Component Video input connection from a source component, connect the three Component Video outputs of that component to the corresponding inputs on the RT-850 labeled COMPONENT VIDEO IN. Make sure that you connect each of the three cables to the proper connector (Y to Y, CB to CB, and CR to CR) and that you use standard 75 ohm video interconnect cables. NOTE: Signals from Component Video inputs will only be available at the Component Video outputs to the TV monitor. The ON-SCREEN DISPLAY system is not available when using Component Video connections. Video Source Outputs Three of the available video sources (VIDEO 1, 2 and 3) feature outputs that allow you to send a signal to a VCR or other source component for recording. The recording signal available at all of these outputs is selected globally using the REC button on the front-panel or the ZONE button on the remote and is independent of the source selected for listening. NOTE: Recording signals are available at all source outputs, including the source selected for recording. [. . . ] Then, move the highlight to the FACTORY DEFAULT line and change the setting to YES as described above. Press the ENTER button to proceed with resetting the FACTORY DEFAULT settings and changing the TUNER SETTING. To return to the MAIN menu without resetting the FACTORY DEFAULT and TUNER settings, change the entry to NO and press the ENTER button. NOTE: Changing the default TUNER SETTING can only done at the same time as restoring the FACTORY DEFAULT settings. Therefore, we recommend selecting your default TUNER SETTING and resetting to the FACTORY DEFAULT settings as the first step in configuring the unit, before you change or memorize any other configuration settings.
