The RDV-1092 and RDV-1093 do include bass management settings for Dolby Digital and dts playback only. There is no bass management applied to DVD-Audio or CD audio outputs. The bass management applies only to the analog outputs of the player, and utilizes a 100Hz crossover for all speakers set to small.

First, start with your TV. If the TV's picture isn't very good, DVD software won't look very good either. There are a couple of instructional DVDs that show you how to properly calibrate your TV to look its best. Among other tips, these usually involve turning down the brightness and sharpness controls, as set manufacturers tend to increase both at the factory to maximize visual impact on the sales floor.

Now that your TV is good to go, you'll want to use the best output from the DVD player to your TV. Most DVD players offer HDMI, composite, S-Video, and component video outputs. If your TV has an HDMI or component input, use it. S-Video, which separates color from black and white signals, can provide up to a 60% sharper picture over composite. The film-like quality of both component video and HDMI is the best of all.

Most A/V receivers/processors allow you to route your video signal through the receiver to the TV. This provides the added convenience of on screen graphics and video switching, but at the risk of slightly reduced video quality. To obtain the purist picture, many videophiles connect their video sources directly to their TV after they've used the on screen graphics to do their initial set-up.

If you want to add streaming music to your Rotel system there are several different ways you can do so.

• Connect an iPhone/iPod or iPad that has the Tidal or Spotify app to the front USB input.
• Install the Bluetooth USB dongle into the front USB input and stream music from your mobile device to the Rotel system via Bluetooth.
• Add a streaming player such as Sonos, AppleTV or Roku to the system to stream via an HDMI or optical digital connection (be sure to check which services are supported first, as not all services are available on every player).
• Connect a PC or Mac computer to the rear panel PC-USB input and stream the audio from a web browser or app on the computer.
• Alternatively, other sources such as some smart TVs or Blu-Ray players for example also support streaming services so these may also be used to stream music to your Rotel system.
