Getting Started
ABOUT THE RT-10
Thank you for purchasing the RT-10 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-10
supports DVD-V, DVD-A, DVD-RW/R, SACD, Audio CD, CD-RW/R,
Video CD, and SVCD formats. It delivers exceptional sound quality
with Dolby Digital, DTS, and PCM (Linear or Packed) digital audio
sources. In addition, it supports most MPEG video and MP3 audio
sources.
With rear panel connectors befitting a reference-quality player, the
RT-10 includes the standard composite and S-video output
connectors, as well as progressive-scan component video output on
RCA or professional-grade BNC connectors. High-precision 12-bit/
108MHz D/A converters provide a pristine video image without
degradation during analog conversion. Progressive-scan component
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, more
stable image with fewer video artifacts.
Video Adjust allows for exact, detailed adjustment of video settings
such as Pure Cinema, sharpness, white, black, gamma, hue, and
chroma levels, as well as luminance (YNR), chrominance (CNR),
mosquito (MNR), and black (BNR) noise reduction. Pure Cinema
automatically converts film sources recorded at 24 frames-persecond to 60 frames-per-second to create a more natural picture.
The RT-10 offers six banks of Video Adjust settings, including three
preset banks for CRT, plasma, and professional display devices and
three memory banks for storage of user-defined Video Adjust
settings.

1-2

Lexicon
Digital audio sources are available on S/PDIF or analog audio output
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
converters on all six analog audio output connectors allow highbandwidth formats such as DVD-A and SACD to deliver smooth,
expansive analog sound without sample rate conversion and digital
word length reduction.
Setup is simplified with color on-screen display menus that can be
customized for the desired level of control. The Setup Navigator
provides step-by-step guidance through the process of configuring
minimum settings. When activated, it presents a series of questions
that, when answered, allow the RT-10 to implement the correct
audio, video, and language settings.
The Setup menu provides access to more advanced controls.
Available in basic and expert display modes, the Setup menu can be
customized to include controls that are required to configure the
most common settings or to include all controls that are available.
In addition, the RT-10 allows the creation of up to five shortcuts,
which provide convenient access to frequently adjusted controls
without navigating through the entire Setup menu.
Built to Lexicon standards, the RT-10 represents a solid investment
that promises to complement the finest home theaters. With its
extensive compatibility, the RT-10 is sure to deliver exceptional
performance whether watching the latest blockbuster on DVD or
listening to a remix of an old favorite on SACD. Even the most
demanding enthusiast will be impressed with its unbeatable
combination of technology, flexibility, and simplicity.

Before output level calibration begins:
•

It is recommended to use a Sound Pressure Level (SPL) meter
to calibrate variable output levels. An SPL meter is a device that
measures the relative loudness of each speaker to ensure
accurate output level calibration. SPL meters are available at
Radio Shack (catalog no. 33-2050).

•

Eliminate extraneous noises in the listening space such as
conversations, air conditioners, and sounds that filter in
through open doors and windows.

•

Remove objects (including people) that obstruct the line-ofsight path between the SPL meter and the speaker being
measured.

•

Output levels should be calibrated to be consistent from
the primary listening position. Place the SPL meter at the
approximate spot where the listener’s head will be during
listening.

To set variable output levels:
1. When the Gain Setting screen opens, press the remote control
 arrow to open the Test Tone screen shown on page 3-21.
2. When the Test Tone screen opens, press the  and  arrows
to highlight the desired parameter.
•

Test Tone parameters cannot be adjusted when the disc
drawer is open, the Audio Out parameter or Setup
Navigator Analog Jacks prompt is set to 2 Channel, or the
RT-10 is in playback, pause, or resume mode. (The RT-10
must be in stop mode.)

3. When the desired parameter is highlighted, press the  and 
arrows to cycle through the Auto, On, and Off settings.
•

Select Auto to set all test tone parameters to Auto. Test
tones will pass through each channel when the associated
Gain Setting screen parameter is highlighted.

•

Select On to activate a test tone for the associated channel.
A test tone will pass through the associated channel when
the corresponding Gain Setting screen parameter is
highlighted.

•

Select Off to deactivate a test tone for the associated
channel. No test tone will pass through the associated
channel.

4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until all desired test tones have been
activated or deactivated.
5. When all desired test tones have been activated, press the 
and  arrows to highlight the Test Tone option at the top of
the screen. Then, press the  arrow to reopen the Gain Setting
screen.
6. When the Gain Setting screen opens, press the  and 
arrows to highlight the desired parameter. If the corresponding
test tone parameter has been set to Auto or On, a test tone will
pass through the associated channel.
•

To hear the test tone again, press the  and  arrows to
reselect the parameter.

Note:
Test tones automatically mute when the Lexicon
screen saver appears on the on-screen display. To
avoid this, set the Screen Saver parameter (3-28) to
