ABOUT THE RT-20
Thank you for purchasing the RT-20 Disc Player, a reference-quality
universal disc transport designed to provide superior audio and
video performance with virtually any 3- or 5-inch optical media disc
format. Based on leading-edge DVD and SACD research, the RT-20
supports DVD-V, DVD-A, DVD-R/RW, SACD, Audio CD, CD-R/RW,
Video CD, and SVCD formats.
RT-20 offers three banks of Video Adjust settings for storage of user-
defined Video Adjust settings.
Digital audio sources are available on S/PDIF or analog audio out-
put connectors. Three digital audio output connectors – one S/PDIF
coaxial, one S/PDIF optical, and one AES/EBU – allow for external
decoding and processing of Dolby Digital, DTS, and PCM (Linear or
Packed) sources. Alternatively, built-in 24-bit/192kHz D/A convert-
ers on all six analog audio output connectors allow high-bandwidth
formats such as DVD-A and SACD to deliver smooth, expansive
analog sound without sample rate conversion and digital word
length reduction.
The RT-20 incorporates High-Definition Multimedia Interface
(HDMI) technology which provides for direct uncompressed digital
transmission to the display device. HDMI delivers pristine images
free from any deterioration associated with analog interfaces. The
RT-20 also delivers exceptional sound quality with Dolby Digital,
DTS, and PCM (Linear or Packed) digital audio sources. In addition,
it supports most MP3 audio sources as well as JPEG files.
Built to Lexicon standards, the RT-20 represents a solid investment
that integrates into the finest home theaters. With its extensive
compatibility, the RT-20 delivers exceptional performance whether
you are watching the latest widescreen DVD, displaying a slide-
show of your family album saved as JPEG files, or listening to old
favorites on SACD or the latest MP3s on CD-R. Even the most
demanding enthusiast will be impressed with its unbeatable combi-
nation of technological innovation, flexibility, and performance.
With rear panel connectors befitting a reference-quality player, the
RT-20 includes the standard composite and S-video output connec-
tors, as well as progressive-scan component video output on RCA
or professional-grade BNC connectors. High-precision 14-bit/
216MHz D/A converters provide a video image without degrada-
tion during analog conversion. The video component out feature
converts interlaced video signals to progressive video signals, dou-
bling the amount of video information sent to a compatible display
device. The result is a higher quality, more stable image with fewer
video artifacts.

marked with this same region code or with the ALL region code.
The RT-20 is not compatible with discs marked with other region
codes.
DO NOT obstruct the front panel display remote control sensor.

DIGITAL AUDIO CONNECTIONS
All versions of the RT-20 offer digital audio output on S/PDIF coax-
ial and S/PDIF optical connectors. The AES/EBU connector offers
S/PDIF digital audio output with AES/EBU electrical characteristics.
When making S/PDIF coaxial connections, use a 75ohm intercon-
nect cable with RCA plugs on each end. Make sure the cable plug is
fully inserted for a solid connection. When making S/PDIF optical
connections, use an interconnect cable with TosLink® plugs on
each end. As these cable plugs are keyed, it is important to insert
them with the proper orientation to the connector. Make sure the
cable plug is properly aligned with the connector before the cable
plug is inserted. When the cable plug is inserted, the protective
shutter on the connector will open and the plug will click into posi-
tion, indicating that the cable plug is fully inserted.
ANALOG AUDIO CONNECTIONS
All versions of the RT-20 offer analog audio output on eight RCA
connectors labeled Front L/R (2 pairs), Surround L/R, Center, and
Sub. When making these connections, use standard audio cables
with RCA plugs on each end. The Audio Out parameter can be
used to configure these connectors to provide 2-channel or
5.1-channel analog audio output. The analog audio output con-
nectors are color-coded to match the cable plugs. Make sure the
cable plugs are fully inserted for a solid connection.
DVD-A & SACD CONNECTIONS
An analog audio output connection is required for SACD and rec-
ommended for DVD-A playback. If your pre-amplifier has 5.1-chan-
nel analog outputs, connect them to the Front L/R (labeled Front
1), Surround L/R, Center, and Sub analog outputs. If your
pre-amplifier has only stereo inputs, connect them to the Front L/R

default setting is DSD. Select PCM to convert DSD signals to PCM.
When PCM is selected, adjustable size, distance and gain level set-
ting parameters are active. When DSD is selected, adjustable size
and gain level setting parameters are active.
Note:
• When DTS Digital Out has been set to PCM, all digital output will be
automatically set to stereo output no matter what DTS downmix set-
ting has been specified.
• When either the Audio Out parameter 2 Channel or 5.1 Channel set-
ting is selected, the DTS multi-channels’ downmix method can be
selected.
AUDIO DRC
Controls the Dynamic Range of Dolby Digital-encoded sources.
When On is selected, the RT-20 reduces the dynamic range of high-
level peaks. As a result, low-level sounds become more audible.
When Off is selected, the RT-20 maintains the original dynamic
range of low- and high-level sounds.
Note:
This parameter is only effective with Dolby Digital encoded DVDs. Its
effectiveness varies depending on the loaded disc, the speaker configu-
ration and associated component settings.

TV ASPECT
Controls the appearance of the picture on the associated display
device screen, formatting the aspect ratio of the video output format
to match the aspect ratio of the display device. Aspect ratios refer
to the shape of the screen as defined by the screen’s width relative
to its height. Aspect ratios differ among video output formats and
display devices. A 16:9 (16 units wide by 9 units high) aspect ratio
is almost twice as wide as it is tall. A 4:3 (4 units wide by 3 units
high) aspect ratio is slightly wider than it is tall.
Select 16:9 Wide or 16:9 Squeeze if the associated display device
screen has a 16:9 aspect ratio. Select Standard 4:3 Letter Box or 4:3
Pan Scan if the associated display device screen has a 4:3 aspect
ratio. The appearance of the picture depends on the TV Aspect

Note:
• Some discs do not allow video output format adjustments.
• Neither the TV Aspect parameter background nor the TV System
prompt can be adjusted when the RT-20 is in playback mode.
• The RT-20 TV Aspect parameter is disc dependent. For example, an
option such as 4:3 L-Box is unavailable if the loaded disc does not
provide this option.
The picture can appear stretched on the display device screen if a
video source recorded in 4:3 format is present and the RT-20 or the
associated component is configured for a 16:9 aspect ratio. To correct
this, configure the RT-20 or the associated component for a 4:3
aspect ratio. See the tables on pages 3-20 and 3-21 for more infor-

component video input connector. To correct this, set the
Component Out parameter to Interlaced and configure the
RT-20 for a different video output connection to the associated
component.
Note:
•
The RT-20 converts video sources recorded on film to 60
frames-per-second to create a more natural picture. See “Pro-
gressive Motion” on page 3-37 for more information.
Still frame images displayed on cathode ray tube (CRT) display devices
for long periods of time can “burn in” or create “ghost images” on the
screen. When the RT-20 is connected to a CRT display device, it is rec-
ommended to set the Screen Saver parameter to On to prevent the
appearance of “ghost images” on the screen.
Note:
The RT-20 is not compatible with all high-definition display devices.
Connecting the RT-20 to a non-compatible high-definition display
device can produce video artifacts in the picture.
TV SYSTEM
If you experience a distorted picture, set this parameter to match
your region or Country setting. Setting this parameter may restrict
the kinds of discs you will be able to use. Use the default setting
Multi, unless there is picture distortion. The “TV System Disc Com-
patibility Table” on page 3-23 lists the kinds of discs compatible
with the three settings.
PAUSE MODE
Controls the appearance of still frame images. When Field is
selected, the RT-20 produces tight, stable, and generally shake-free
still frame images. When Frame is selected, the RT-20 produces
sharper, but shakier still frame images. When Auto is selected, the
RT-20 automatically selects the best viewing method for still frame
images.

1080i (1125i).
When the resolution changes, the image may be corrupted or the
output may take longer than normal to display. Unavailable resolu-
tion options are grayed out.
Resolution is defined by the number of horizontal lines displayed on
screen that comprise each frame of a video image. The more lines
of resolution used to create each frame of video, the greater the
detail and sharpness of the image. For example, the resolution
480p refers to 480 horizontal lines of progressive video (the letter
“p” stands for progressive video). 1080i refers to 1080 lines of
interlaced video (The letter “i” stands for interlaced).
HDMI FORMAT
Use to select the desired HDMI Format. The following video-range
settings are available: RGB-Normal and RGB-Expand. The following
video pixel encoding options are available: YcbCr-1 (4:4:4) and
YcbCr-2 (4:2:2). Through the HDMI connector, your display should
choose the preferred setting. If both modes are supported by your
display, select according to your personal preference.
Most standard TV broadcasts have a resolution of 480i. Some DVDs
and non-HDTV digital TV broadcasts use 480p. The Advanced Tele-
vision System Committee (ATSC) specification for high-definition
broadcasts and equipment requires the resolution of either 1080i
or 720p. For best results set the HDMI resolution to match the
native resolution of your high definition display.
For most video source material which uses a dynamic range of 16
(black) to 235 (white), select RGB-Normal format to provide head-
room and the capability to display “below black” and “above
white.” For computer graphics source material, select the
RGB-Expand setting which uses the full RGB range.
To select the desired resolution:
Use the ꢀ and ꢁ buttons to select the desired setting and press
ENTER.
The formats available for HDMI outputs depend on the connected
display device. See the owner’s manual for your display device for
more information.
The resolutions available for the HDMI output depend on the con-
nected display device. See the user manual of your display device

PROGRESSIVE MOTION
DETAIL
Use to adjust the smoothness of motion picture quality. Video
sources can be recorded on video or film. Sources recorded in
North America on video have a 30 frames-per-second (interlaced)
or 60 frames-per-second (progressive) rate. Sources recorded on
film typically have a 24 frames-per-second rate. When the Compo-
nent parameter is set to Progressive, the RT-20 converts sources
recorded on film to 60 frames-per-second to create a more natural
picture. To adjust, observe a scene with a camera panning, or with
fast moving objects and watch for smooth motion. Select Auto1 for
most video sources, but if the picture on your display appears to
move unnaturally, select another setting. Repeat this process to
achieve the best picture quality.

BLACK SETUP
Sets the black level of the video output to 0 IRE or 7.5 IRE. The cor-
rect or best setting sets the black setting to “true black,” but
depends on the following factors: the source material, the selected
video output format, and your video processor or display. A non-
optimum setting can create a displayed image with more noise,
also requiring adjustments to the display’s brightness and contrast.
For most digital interfaces and Component video, select 0 IRE if
your display supports that mode. If your display does not support 0
IRE black, then select 7.5 IRE. For CVBS or S-VHS, select 7.5 IRE.
The Black Setup parameter is related to but different from
RGB-Normal and RGB-Expand, but you should carefully check these
in tandem to ensure that you have optimally configured the RT-20.
