About Output Signals

NTSC is the correct choice for TVs in North

America. PAL TVs are used through most of

the rest of the world.

NOTE: With some DVD and Video CD discs,

you may not be able to control them according

to the instructions described in this manual,

because of the contents of the disc.

With either NTSC or PAL TV’s you can select

INTERLACE (“NTSC” or “PAL”) or PROGRES-

SIVE (“NTSC PROG” or “PAL PROG”). Picture

quality is better with the “PROGRESSIVE”

mode. But only newer, high performance TVs

can accept progressive signals. A progressive

RDV-1045 DVD Player

Caring for the RDV-1045 Disc Structure

This system simpliﬁes the hierarchical con-

struction of a disc and manages folders by

“groups”. This system can recognize up to 4

000 tracks/ﬁles in a disc. Also, the system can

recognize up to 150 tracks/ﬁles per group and

up to 99 groups in a disc. Since the system

ignores tracks/ﬁles with numbers exceeding

150 and groups with numbers exceeding 99,

these cannot be played back.

Cabinet and Disc Tray Cleaning

Clean the cabinet and disc tray by gently wiping

them with a soft cloth dampened with a small

amount of a neutral detergent diluted with

water. Do not use benzene, thinner or other

organic solvents including disinfectants. These

may cause deformation or discoloring.

DVD VIDEO/DVD VR

A DVD Videodisc consists of “titles” and each

title may be divided into “chapters”.

A DVD VRdisc consists of “original programs”

or “play lists” and each original program/play

list may be divided into “chapters”.

Title 1/Original program 1/

Play list 1

Title 2/Original

program 2/Play list 2

Condensation

• If there is any type of ﬁles other than MP3/

WMA/JPEG/ASF/MPEG1/MPEG2 ﬁles in

a folder, those ﬁles are also counted in the

total ﬁle number.

In s ome situations, condensation (water

drops) can accumulate on the optical lense of

the disc reading mechanism, preventing the

RDV-1045 from working properly. This can

happen when:

Playable MP3/WMA/JPEG/ASF/MPEG1/

MPEG2 discs and ﬁles

A DVD Audio disc consists of “groups” and

each group may be divided into “tracks”.

• When the RDV-1045 is suddenly moved

from a cold place to a warmer place.

• When the RDV-1045 is in a cool room and

a heating system is turned on.

• When the RDV-1045 is installed in a steamy

or damp space.

• CDs recorded in the ISO 9660 format are

playable (except CDs recorded in the “packet

write” format (UDF format)).

In any of these cases, leave the system turned

on for 1 or 2 hours before use.

VCD/SVCD/CD

• CDs recorded with multiple sessions are also

playable.

VCD, SVCD and CD consist of “tracks”. In

general, each track has its own track number.

(On some discs, each track may also be further

divided by indexes.)

• Files with an extension of “.mp3”, “.wma”,

“.jpg”, “.jpeg”, “.asf”, “.avi”, “.mpg” or

“.mpeg” (extensions with uppercase and

lowercase letters mixed are also acceptable)

are playable.

Locking the Disc Tray

You can lock the disc tray to prevent a loaded

disc from being ejected.

On an MP3/WMA/JPEG/ASF/MPEG1/

MPEG2 disc, each still picture (material) is

recorded as a track/ﬁle. Tracks/ﬁles are usu-

ally grouped into a folder. Folders can also

include other folders, creating hierarchical

folder layers.

Notes on MP3/WMA/JPEG/ASF

discs and ﬁles

• A disc may not be played back, or reading

it may take a long time depending on its

recording conditions or properties.

• The time needed for reading varies with the

number of groups or tracks (ﬁles) recorded

on the disc.

• If a character other than single byte English

characters is used in the ﬁle name of an

MP3/WMA/JPEG/ASF ﬁle, the track/ﬁle

name will not be displayed correctly.

• The order of tracks/groups displayed on the

MP3/WMA control screen, and the order of

ﬁles/groups displayed on the JPEG control

screen may be different from that of ﬁles/

folders displayed on a computer monitor

screen.

• This system cannot play back animations

such as MOTION2 JPEG, still images (TIFF

etc.) other than JPEG, or image data with

sound.

• The resolution of 640 x 480 pixels is rec-

ommended for JPEG ﬁles. If a ﬁle has been

recorded at a resolution of more than 640

x 480 pixels, display may take a long time.

An image with a resolution of more than

8192 x 7680 pixels cannot be displayed.

• The system supports ASF ﬁles recorded with

the maximum bit rate of 384 kbps and an

audio coder decoder of G.726.

• The maximum size of the playback picture

is 352 x 288 pixels (CIF).

Notes on MPEG1/MPEG2 discs and

ﬁles

• A commercially available MP3/WMA disc

may be played back in an order different

from that indicated on the label attached to

the disc.

• PlayingbackanMP3/WMA/JPEG/ASFdisc

may take a long time. The elapsed time is not

displayed until playback starts. The elapsed

time may also not be displayed correctly.

• ForanMP3/WMAﬁle, adiscwithasampling

frequency of 44.1 kHz and transmission rate

of 128 kbps is recommended.

• This system can play back a baseline JPEG

ﬁle, excluding monochromatic JPEG ﬁles.

• This system can play back JPEG data taken

with a digital camera conforming to the DCF

(Design Rule for Camera File System) stan-

dard (when a function such as the automatic

image rotation function of a digital camera

is applied, the data no longer complies with

the DCF standard, so the image may not be

displayed).

• The stream structure of MPEG1/MPEG2

discs and files should conform to MPEG

system/program stream.

• 720 x 576 pixels (25 fps)/720 x 480 pixels

(30 fps) is recommended for the highest

resolution.

• This system also supports the resolutions of

352 x 576/480 x 576/352 x 288 pixels

(25 fps) and 352 x 480/ 480 x 480/352

x 240 pixels (30 fps).

• The proﬁle and level should be MP@ML (Main

Proﬁle at Main Level)/SP@ML (Simple Proﬁle

at Main Level)/ MP@LL (Main Proﬁle at Low

Level).

• Audio streams should conform to MPEG1

Audio Layer- 2 or MPEG2 Audio Layer-2.

Caution for DualDisc playback:

The Non-DVD side of a “DualDisc” does not

comply with the “Compact Disc Digital Audio”

standard. Therefore, the use of Non-DVD

side of a DualDisc on this product may not be

recommended.

• If data has been processed, edited and re-

stored with computer image editing software,

the data may not be displayed.
