Disc Players
Disc Player

The RT-20 is Lexicon’s top-of-the-line universal disc player. Designed to pro-
vide superior audio and video performance with virtually any of the 5-inch
optical media discs, it supports DVD-Video, DVD-Audio, DVD-R/W, SACD,
CD, CD-R/W, MP3, JPEG,Video CD and SVCD. The RT-20 takes the universal
disc player to a new level with a High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI),
built-in video processing, and extremely precise DACs.
HDMI provides direct uncompressed digital video transmission to compatible
display devices delivering pristine images free from the deterioration associat-
ed with analog conversion and interfaces. High-quality video processing can
convert video to 720p or 1080i for the HDMI output to drive a HDTV com-
patible display. HDMI also carries Dolby Digital®, DTS®, MPEG and PCM digi-
tal audio.
The RT-20 includes composite and S-video output connectors, as well as pro-
gressive-scan component video outputs on RCA and professional-grade BNC
connectors. These interfaces are fed by high-precision 14-bit/216MHz video
DACs, ensuring the cleanest possible conversion.
The Video Adjust feature allows for exact, detailed adjustment of video set-
tings such as Progressive Motion, sharpness, white, black, gamma, hue, and
chroma levels, as well as luminance (DNR) and chrominance (CNR) noise
reduction.The Progressive Motion feature automatically converts film sources
recorded at 24 frames-per-second to 60 frames-per-second to create a more
natural picture.The RT-20 offers three banks ofVideo Adjust settings for stor-
age of user-defined settings.
In addition to HDMI, digital audio is available on three output connectors –
one S/PDIF coaxial, one S/PDIF optical, and one AES/EBU – allowing for exter-
nal decoding and processing of Dolby Digital, DTS, and PCM sources.
Alternatively, built-in 24-bit/192kHz DACs on all six analog audio outputs
allows high-resolution formats such as DVD-Audio and SACD to deliver
smooth, expansive analog output without sample rate conversion or word
length reduction.
The RT-20 features serial control via RS-232 for full integration into third
party control systems. It also offers a rear panel infrared (IR) input, a trigger
input, and an optional rack mount kit, making it easy to incorporate the RT-20
into the finest home theaters.
Built to Lexicon standards, the RT-20 represents a solid investment.With its
extensive compatibility, the RT-20 delivers exceptional performance whether
you are watching the latest widescreen DVD, listening to old favorites on
SACD or checking out the latest MP3s on CD-R. Even the most demanding
enthusiast will be impressed with its unbeatable combination of technological
innovation, flexibility, and performance.
