Connections and Setup  
Things to consider before you connect  
• Ensure that the mains supply in your house complies with that indicated on the identification  
sticker located on the back of your unit.  
• Install your unit horizontally, away from any source of heat (fireplace) or appliances creating  
strong magnetic or electromagnetic fields. The components of this unit are sensitive to heat. The  
maximum ambient temperature should not exceed 35° Celsius/95 Fahrenheit.  
EN  
• Leave enough space around the unit to allow adequate ventilation: 10 cm/4 inches on either side  
and above the top, and 5 cm/2 inches at the rear.  
• The humidity of the room should not exceed 75%. If you have to use the unit outdoors, do not  
expose it to rain or splashing water. The apparatus should not be exposed to dripping or  
splashing and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, should be placed on the apparatus.  
• Moving the unit from a cold place to a warm one can cause condensation on some components  
inside the unit. Let the condensation disappear on its own before turning the unit on again.  
• Before moving the player, make sure the disc tray is empty.  
• Where the mains plug or an appliance coupler is used as a disconnect device, the disconnect  
device shall remain readily operable.

Connections and Setup  
Connecting to audiovisual equipment  
Explanation of jacks and cables  
The jacks on the back of your receiver (pictured left) and  
the cables shown below are used to connect to other  
components.  
EN  
The video jacks are OUT jacks, which need to be  
connected to IN jacks on the TV or monitor you’re  
connecting to (so the video content goes from the  
receiver to the screen). The audio jacks are IN jacks,  
which need to be connected to OUT jacks  
on the component you’re connecting to, so the sound  
from the component comes into the receiver (and out  
through the speakers).  
Video cables  
Composite video cable (included)  
The basic Video jack (usually color-coded yellow) is also referred to as composite  
video. Usually the video cable is bundled with the audio cables (white and red).  
Composite  
video cable  
Component video cables (Pr, Pb, Y) (not included)  
The Y, Pb, Pr jacks provide optimum picture quality by separating the video  
signal into three parts. To ensure maximum picture quality, use three video-  
grade cables for the connection. You can also buy bundled component video  
cables that are color-coded to match the Y, Pb, Pr inputs (green, blue and red).  
Note: If your television is a high definition television, use the DVD player’s progressive scan output  
to get the highest possible video resolution. Set the Progressive Scan option in the Display menu  
to On (see page 20).  
Note: If one of the devices is not working, check that all the cables have been inserted  
properly into the jacks.  
Component  
video cable  
Audio cables (not included)  
AUDIO IN L (left) and AUDIO IN R (right)  
These jacks and cables are often color-coded (red for right audio, and white for  
left audio).  
Audio cables  
(red and white)  
Note: If your component has only one input for audio (mono), connect it to the left (white  
L/Mono) audio jack on the TV and don’t connect the right audio part of the cable.

Connections and Setup  
Connecting the speakers  
Six speakers are provided with the unit (2 front,  
1 center, 2 rear, 1 subwoofer). To achieve good  
surround effects, all six speakers need to be  
connected to the receiver.  
EN  
One speaker wire is provided with each  
speaker. Speaker wires are color-coded to  
match the terminals.  
Connect the speaker wire from the back of  
each speaker to the corresponding color  
terminal at the back of the unit. Press down  
the tab to open the terminal and insert the  
wire (1). Release the tab to lock wire in the  
terminal (2). Do the same for center speaker,  
rear speakers and the subwoofer.  
Note: When connecting the speakers, make sure  
the polarities (“+” speaker wire to “+” on the  
receiver) of speaker wires and terminals match.  
If the cords are reversed, the sound will be  
distorted. Do not ground the output line, it will  
damage the speaker.  
Positioning speakers  
Left, Right (Front Speakers)  
1
3
Front speakers carry primarily music and sound  
effects.

Center  
2
In surround mode, the center speaker carries  
most of the dialog as well as music and effects.  
It should be set between the left and right  
speakers.  
2
3
Surround (Rear Speakers)  
The rear speakers’ overall sound balance should  
be as close as possible to the front speakers.  
Proper placement is vital to establish an evenly  
distributed sound field.

Subwoofer  
Courtesy Dolby Laboratories  
A subwoofer is designed to reproduce powerful  
low bass effects (explosions, the rumble of  
spaceships, etc.) which dramatically heighten  
the action on the screen.

Connections and Setup  
Magnetic shielding  
Speakers placed less than two feet from the TV set must be magnetically shielded in order to  
prevent picture distortion. Front and center speakers provided with this unit are magnetically  
shielded to protect your TV set.  
Note: It is not recommended to place the rear speakers and subwoofer near the TV set.  
EN  
Front speaker placement  
Follow the suggestions for speaker placement below to  
get the best results.  
Alignment  
Align the center speaker evenly with (A) or slightly  
behind (B) (the left and right speakers), but not ahead  
of them.  
Angle  
Place the left and right speakers to form a 45-degree  
angle with your favorite viewing position to duplicate  
the soundtrack mixer’s perspective.  
Courtesy Dolby Laboratories  
Height  
A
The mid- and high-frequency drivers of the three front  
speakers should be as close as possible to the same  
height. This often requires placing the center speaker  
directly on top (A) or beneath (B) the TV set.  
B
Preferred surround placement  
Location  
If possible, place surround speakers to either side of the  
listening area, not behind it.  
Courtesy Dolby Laboratories  
Height  
If space permits, install surround speakers 2-3 feet above  
viewers. This helps to minimize localization effects.  
Aiming  
Aim surround speakers straight across the room, not  
down at viewers, to help create a more open, spacious  
surround sound field.  
Alternative Surround Placement  
Rear wall  
Courtesy Dolby Laboratories  
If rear wall mounting is the only choice, aim the  
speakers at each other (A), towards the front (B) or  
towards the sidewalls (C, D). Experiment with placement  
until sounds seem to surround you, rather than come  
from behind you.  
Courtesy Dolby Laboratories

RTD206/207 EN 26/4/06 3:22 PM Page 9  
Connections and Setup  
No adjacent walls  
Surround speakers can go on stands facing each  
other to approximate sidewall mounting (A), or  
to the sides or rear of the viewing area, aimed  
upwards; they can go right on the floor, or  
preferably, a few feet off the floor such as on  
end tables (B).  
EN  
Test tone/Channel balance  
Channel balance  
Courtesy Dolby Laboratories  
Your receiver is equipped with a test signal  
generator for balancing the channels. As the  
signal “travels” from channel to channel, adjust  
the level controls until each channel plays at  
the same loudness level (see page 22).  
Level adjustment and surround channel  
level expectation  
Even though you adjust the surround channel  
to be as loud as the others on the test signal,  
on actual program material the surround  
channel is usually much lower than the front.  
Don’t re-adjust the surround level; program  
producers use surround for subtle atmospherics  
and ambience, and only rarely for special  
effects.

use 10 characters or less, no spaces, and  
avoid the use of special characters  
including (. , / , \ , = ,+).  
VCD - Video Compact Disc  
CD on which you can record up to 74  
min. of VHS quality video associated  
with still images, audio tracks and  
interactive menus.  
SVCD - Super Video Compact  
Disc  
Most SVCDs comply with the IEC62107  
standard. SVCDs can be used to record  
up to 70 minutes of digital sound and  
images in accordance with MPEG-2  
standards for video and MPEG-1  
standards for audio.  
• The total number of files on a disc  
should be less than 400.  
• Use a decompression transfer rate of at  
least 128 kB/sec (kilobytes/second) when  
recording mp3 files. Sound quality with  
mp3 files basically depends on the rate of  
compression/ decompression you choose.  
Obtaining audio CD quality sound  
requires an analog/digital sampling rate,  
that is conversion to mp3 format, of at  
least 128 kB/sec and up to 160 kB/sec.  
Choosing higher rates, such as 192 kB/sec  
or more, only rarely produces even better  
sound quality. Conversely, files with  
sampling rates below 128 kB/sec will not  
play properly.  
Audio CDs  
Audio CDs (12 cm).  
CD-R, CD-RW  
Most CD-R (one recording only) and CD-  
RW discs (rewritable).  
CD-Rs written during a multisession  
recording can be played, provided that  
the session has ended before the disc is  
played (depending on the write  
software). However, depending on the  
condition of the CD-writer, computer  
and the disc used, you may find that  
not all discs will play. When playing a  
CD-R disc, it is normal for the unit to  
take up to 20 seconds to recognize  
the disc before starting to play.  
• Do not record copyright-protected mp3  
files. “Securized” files are encrypted and  
codeprotected to prevent illegal copying.  
Important: The above recommendations does  
not guarantee that the DVD player will play  
mp3 recordings, or as an assurance of sound  
quality. Certain technologies and methods for  
mp3 file recording on CD-Rs prevent optimal  
playback of these files on your DVD player  
(i.e. degraded sound quality and in some cases,  
inability of the player to read the file).  
If the disc is not recognized after a  
period of 20 seconds, remove the disc,  
and insert it again.

Sound Enhancement Systems  
This receiver is equipped with several built-in sound enhancement systems.  
Dolby Digital  
The Dolby Digital mode lets you enjoy full digital surround from software processed in the Dolby  
Digital format. Dolby Digital provides better sound quality and a more powerful presence than  
conventional Dolby Surround. This unit is equipped with Dolby Digital 5.1-channel so that you can  
enjoy enhanced full digital surround sound. Different from Dolby Pro Logic in that only four  
channels (Front Left, Front Right, Centre and Rear ) are used, the new system provides stereo  
separation of the rear speakers (Rear-Right, Rear-Left ). Adding the to the 5 channels the  
subwoofer channel for bass sounds (counted as 0.1 channel) results in 5.1 channels (or 6 Channels)  
that bring you the most sophisticated Dolby Digital sound enjoyment.
