1 DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT CONNECTORS
All versions offer digital audio output on S/PDIF coaxial and S/PDIF
optical connectors. The AES/EBU connector offers digital audio output
with AES/EBU electrical characteristics.
2 REGION CODE INDICATOR
Indicates the RT-20 region code, which differs from version to version
depending on the region of purchase. All DVD-Vs are also marked
with a region code, which is often located on the disc packaging.
The RT-20 is compatible with discs marked with this same region
code or with the ALL region code.
3 ANALOG AUDIO OUTPUT CONNECTORS
Provide analog audio output. All models include eight RCA connec-
tors labeled Front L/R (2 pairs), Surround L/R, Center, and Sub
Woofer. The Audio Out parameter can be used to configure these
connectors to provide 2- or 5.1-channel analog audio output.
4 COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT CONNECTORS
Provide component video output. All versions include one group of
RCA and one group of BNC connectors labeled COMPONENT
VIDEO. Some versions also include a mini D connector labeled D1/
D2. All component video output connectors can be used at the
same time.
The component video output connectors provide progressive-scan
and interlaced component video output. Progressive-scan compo-
nent video output 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 image with
fewer video artifacts.
5 IR IN CONNECTOR
Provides input of infrared data from industry-standard infrared dis-
tribution equipment. All models include one female 3.5mm Tip/
Ring/Sleeve connector labeled IR IN.
6 TRIGGER INPUT CONNECTOR
Allows the RT-20 to be controlled with an associated component
that includes a 12V DC trigger output connector, such as the
MC-12, MC-8 or MC-4 Digital Controllers or the RV-8 Digital
Receiver. All versions include one trigger input connector labeled
TRIGGER INPUT, which is available on a removable terminal block.
The illustration below displays the polarity of the terminals.
Trigger Input Connector Polarity
To configure the RT-20 for trigger control:
1. Connect the trigger input connector on the RT-20 to a 12V DC
trigger output connector on an associated component.
2. Set the RT-20 trigger input switch to ON.
3. Power cycle the RT-20 with the front panel On/Off button.
The RT-20 will respond when standby mode is activated or deacti-
vated for the connected component. The RT-20 will not respond to
the remote control POWER button.
