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.
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.
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.
The Video Adjust feature allows for exact, detailed adjustment of
video settings such as Progressive Motion, sharpness, white, black,
gamma, hue, and chroma levels, as well as luminance (DNR),
chrominance (CNR) noise reduction. The Progressive Motion feature
automatically converts film sources recorded at 24 frames-per-sec-
ond to 60 frames-per-second to create a more natural picture. The
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.
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.
