RDV-03 DVD Player
RDV-03
Advanced Features
The RDV-03 provides several advanced fea-
tures for controlling the audio/video content
displayed during playback. These include
progressive scan, zooming, changing the
scene angle on DVD-Video discs, selecting
alternate languages for the audio portion of
DVD programs, and selecting subtitle lan-
guages on DVD programs.
Progressive Scan
When used with a high definition TV monitor
connected with Component Video cables, the
RDV-03 can display either interlaced or pro-
gressive scan video, depending on the setting
of the VFP/P. SCAN button on the remote.
: Progressive Scan only works with
NOTE
HDTV monitors. Do not activate the Progres-
sive Scan feature with analog TV monitors.
The Progressive Scan feature is only avail-
able when using the Component Video (Y
PR PB) outputs.
To activate progressive scan: Press and
hold the VFP/P.SCAN button on the mode for
several seconds to toggle between interlaced
and progressive scan video modes. The letter
P appears in the front panel display when the
unit is in progressive scan mode.
On the Asia version, the video selector
switch on the back panel must be set to the
REMOTE position to switch between the two
video modes from the remote. With the switch
in the INTL position, the video output is locked
to the interlaced mode. With the switch in the
PSCN position, output is locked to the progres-
sive scan mode. The ability to switch back
and forth from the remote control could be
useful when the RDV-03 is connected to two
different TV monitors. Otherwise, most users
will simply choose the appropriate mode for
their TV monitor.
On the Euro version, the video selector
switch on the back panel must be set to the
COMPONENT/COMP position to activate
progressive scan.
Zoom
When playing a video disc, the RDV-03 can
zoom in to enlarge a section of the picture
up to 64 times its original size. The zoom
feature is available for full-motion video dur-
ing playback or for still-frame pictures while
the unit is paused. While zoomed, you can
move the displayed image up, down, left,
or right to view the desired portion of the
full image.
To zoom in, press the ZOOM button the
remote. Each press of the ZOOM button
changes the size of the picture: 1.8x, 4x, 8x,
16x, 32x, 64x, and back to normal size. An
icon at the top left of the screen shows the
current magnification.
To move the zoomed-in video image,
press the CURSOR
remote in the desired direction. The zoomed
image moves up, down, left, or right to show
the desired portion of the full image.
Press the ENTER button to resume normal
playback.
