Black Border
& Overscan
If you get a black border issue
all around your TV screen,
please go to the settings of
your TV and set the correct
aspect ratio option in order to
remove the black border
(Fit to Screen option).
Connecting Your Player to Your TV Trough AV Receiver
If you own an AV Receiver, the most convenient and easy way is to connect your Player to your TV
through your AV receiver or soundbar. To do it, connect the main HDMI output of your Player to a free
HDMI input of your AV receiver, then connect the HDMI output of your AV receiver to your TV or your
front projector. If your TV is compatible with 4K HDR, your AV receiver also has to be compatible with
the 4K HDR format. If not please use the HDMI Audio Only Output as explained on the next page.
Connecting Your Player to Your TV Without AV Receiver
If you do not own an AV Receiver or sound bar, the most convenient and easy way is to connect your
player directly to your TV. To do it, connect the main HDMI output of your media player to a free HDMI input
of your TV or your front projector. If you have projector, please use an AV receiver (next procedure) or an
audio analog amplifier and connect it to the player Analog Outputs using RCA connectors.
If you get a BLUE SCREEN, it is because you are using HDMI Audio Only instead of HDMI Main for the TV.

If your AV receiver is not compatible with HDMI, you can connect your player to your AV receiver using
SPDIF optical (Toslink) or coaxial outputs as following:

Internet
Ethernet
The media player provides two network connection methods: through Ethernet cable or through the
built-in wireless LAN adapter. For the fastest and most stable network connection, we recommend using
an Ethernet cable whenever possible. Plug one end of a network cable (straight Ethernet cable) into the
LAN port on the back of the media player (Category 5E or more). Then, plug the other end of the
network cable into a LAN port on the broadband router or modem (or switch if you are using one).
Ground
The ground connector on a player, often referred to as a grounding terminal, is used to establish a
connection between the player and an external grounding system. It serves to dissipate any static electri-
city or electrical interference that may accumulate on the device, helping to maintain optimal audio and
video performance. Obtain a grounding cable, which is typically a wire with a ring terminal at one end.
Ensure the cable is of sufficient length to reach the grounding point or system you plan to connect it to. This
could be a dedicated grounding terminal, a grounding rod, or another component in your audio/video setup
that has a grounding provision.

Wi-Fi
To set the wireless feature, start to connect the antennas to the Wi-Fi connectors located on the back of the
media player. Then, turn on your media player an go to: Setup > Network > Wireless connection (Wi-Fi). Then
click on Edit settings. You will be able to select a wireless network and enter the security password.
Ethernet Switch
For better result, we advise you to use
high-fidelity switch.
Before proceeding, make sure the media player and any connected
equipment are powered off and disconnected from the power source.

Getting Started
Make sure to use the HDMI OUT (main) and not HDMI IN output to connect your player to your
TV or video projector. Plug in and turn on the player. The player will go through its initial start-up
procedure (takes less than one minute).
If you experience a black screen or no video signal, please consult the following knowledge base:
rvolution.uservoice.com/knowledgebase
You will then be taken to a quick setup screen. Follow the steps to set the language, resolution, and
network access.
Finally, you should see the main screen with access to the Video (Media Center), and Explorer
applications, among others, as well as Settings and Android Apps.
To set the default language for audio tracks and subtitles for video content playback, go to Settings
> Playback and choose your preferred default language for audio tracks and subtitles.
Audio settings
The Audio section of the Settings menu allows you to set preferences for audio output formats. If you
are using an HDMI compatible multi-channel AV receiver, please set the Digital Audio Connector
option to HDMI (HD Audio On). If your home theater amp / preamp is not HDMI compatible, set the
Digital Audio Connector option to S/PDIF (HD audio off).
We recommend that you set the Digital audio output mode option to Auto. But it may be a good idea
to select PCM mode (with decoding) for certain types of audio formats like AAC if your AV receiver
cannot decode this format. Bitstream mode always sends the audio stream to your AV receiver in an
undecoded way. But in this mode, some audio formats may not work if your AV receiver does not
support these formats.
In order to listen to music in lossless or uncompressed format, you can set the Maximum digital
output sample rate option to 192kHz. However, please be careful because this mode can generate
crackling in the speakers if you use an incompatible 192kHz amplifier or soundbar, or if you do not use
an amplifier or soundbar at all (sound from the TV). In this case, select the Auto option.
Video settings
By default, the player automatically adjusts the video output according to the resolution of your television.
It is strongly recommended to leave the resolution settings in Auto mode (in Settings > Video). If your TV
or projector is compatible, we recommend the Y'CbCr 4:4:4 / 10-bit or 12-bit mode for the best video
performance. Warning! The higher you move up in the video output specifications, the higher the bit rate
will be and will require a quality cable.
HDR > SDR Conversion
To benefit from the best SDR performance on HDR content, we invite you to go to Settings > Video >
HDR and Dolby Vision Settings and select the Dolby VS10 engine for HDR, DV video option. In come
cases, the picture could be washed out. In this case, go to Settings > System > Video > HDMI Range
Mode > Full Range. If you do not apply this setting.

Using Internal Drive
To insert the internal 3.5’’ SATA HDD, please open the rack door, then insert the drive into the internal
enclosure until 3/4, then complete the installation by closing the door. This operation will complete the
installation of the disk into the rack. The media player is compatible with drives formatted in FAT16/-
FAT32 (read-write), EXT2/EXT3/EXT4 (read-write), NTFS (read-write), exFAT (read-write), HFS/HFS+
(Mac OS Standard/Extended) (read-only), BTRFS (read-write). It is possible to format your hard drive via
Explorer via Menu / Format.
More info: rvolution.uservoice.com/knowledgebase
Connecting USB Drives
You can connect your USB drives to one of the
available USB ports. If you want to play video files,
USB 2.0 is enough to support very high bitrate (up
to 480 Mbps) and more reliable than USB 3.0. If
you want to transfer files, you can use the USB 3.1
or USB Type-C ports.
Note: A dedicated USB icon located on the
home page can help you detect if the drive is
properly connected.
Power provided by USB ports may not be
enough to allow the USB drive to function
correctly; depending on the drive. Please do not
disconnect or switch off the USB drive during
write (copy / transfer) operations.
The player is compatible with UASP HDD
docking stations as well as USB hubs.
Using SD / MMC Memory Cards
To use a memory card, insert it in the memory card slot located on the left side of the media player. It will be
detected as USB device (USB icon on the home page). Some SD memory cards may not be recognized by
the player or may work incorrectly ; in such case, please use a different model of memory card.

The Home Page features 2 main applications: Explorer, and Video.
Explorer
Explorer is a File Manager. You can easy explore and launch playback of your music, pictures and
video content. But Explorer is more than just a file explorer — it also provides many advanced multimedia
features and a complete file management system.
R_video
R_video is a media player, software and entertainment hub, featuring an impressive user interface with
movie covers. With R_video, you can experience your entire movie and TV series collection, browse
and play your titles from local and network storage media, view cast information, download subtitles,
play trailers and much more.
In order to start using the R_video apps, you have to create a R_volution account and register your
device. First, connect your media player to Internet through Wi-Fi or Ethernet. Launch one app and
select you language. Then, follow the on-screen instructions. If you have never used R_volution before
and if you don’t have any R_volution account, please click on Create an account now.
Then you will be prompted to enter your R_volution Token number. The Token number is printed on
a sticker stuck under the housing of the media player. You will only have to enter it once. Then all your
account information will be saved in the internal memory of the media player. R_volution needs this
information in order to be able to register your collection (only the covers and not the films). The
R_cloud allows you to preserve your collection*. In the event of a device failure, or the purchase of
another R_volution player, all you need to do is enter your credentials to access your collection and
recover everything identically. R_cloud also offers multiroom feature to access your collection of
movies and shows from other R_volution players in the house.

How to Identify Unidentified Movies & TV Shows
Even if your files are not named correctly with the name of the film (or TV show), R_video can identify
it but only if a R_video user previously identified it manually. If you are living in a country where
R_video is not yet popular, which could happened often at the beginning, mostly if you are using a
R_volution NAS Rip because the generated files are rarely named correctly. But day after day,
R_video_DB will become more and more reliable as users will manually identify files of movies and TV
series.
Press MENU of the RC and select X to Identify. You’ll see the list of the files that are not identified. Then,
click on the button named Identify... On the Identify window, please enter again the movie name.
You can also enter the IMDB, TMDB or TVDB ID code to identify your movie or your TV show. On
TMDb, TVDb or IMDb, the ID code is located in the URL of the movie page. For instance, the URL of
the movie "Metropolis" will be "http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0017136/". Enter the ID number
"tt0017136" into the field instead of the title name. Then press the "Search" button. R_video will find
the right movie at 100%. If your movie or TV show does not exist on TMDb or TVDb, you can add it by
creating an account on it.
3D, 4K and UHD Files
The 3D BD ISO, UHD ISO and 4K ISO files as well as BDMV folders for 3D and 4K UHD cannot be
always identified automatically. In this case, to identify these containers, please add the following tags
in the name as follows:
3D Files: "3D". (For exemple: "Metropolis.3D.iso").
UHD Files: "UHD" or "ULTRAHD" or "ULTRA-HD". (For exemple: "Metropolis.UHD.iso").
4K Files: "4K" or "4096" (For exemple: "Metropolis.2160x4096.iso").
How to Change a Picture (Poster or Background)
To change the poster or the background of a movie or TV show, press MENU button of your remote
control, then click on Change the picture option using OK button of your R_video remote control.
Then, click on the poster or background of your choice. If you see a R_video DB banner, it means that
this picture is part of R_video movie cover database.
Multiple Hard Drives
R_video is able to mix the content of several sources. For instance, one collection can contain movies
located on 2 hard drives and one NAS. If you are using multiple hard drives, R_video is able to detect
if the drives are accessible or not. When you launch a movie but the drive containing the movie is not
connected, R_video will show a popup window asking to insert the dedicated drive.
