INTRODUCTION  
Thank You for Choosing Parasound  
Your Parasound® D 200 is an advanced disc player with extraordinary performance capabilities.  
We designed the D 200 to be very easy to set up and to operate. This manual is divided into  
two sections. The first section describes connections and menu setup selections that will enable  
you to play movies and CDs right away, even if you’ve had little or no previous experience with  
audio-video components. The second section explains the advanced features that you may prefer  
to use later or even ignore altogether.  
We appreciate you taking the time to read these instructions and thank you for selecting  
Parasound. For updates and corrections to this manual, we invite you to check our web site,  
Enjoy.  
The Parasound Staff  
Keeping Records for Future Reference  
Record the serial number located on the back panel of your D 200 in the space below. Also  
note your Parasound Dealer’s name and telephone number. We recommend that you make a  
copy of your original purchase receipt/bill of sale and store the original and the copy in a safe  
place. Your purchase receipt/bill of sale is required to determine if your D 200 is eligible for  
Parasound warranty service. We recommend you keep a copy with your original packaging.

You Should Know  
There is no Parasound warranty for this unit if it was not purchased from an Authorized  
Parasound Dealer. Investigate warranty coverage statements made by an unauthorized dealer  
very carefully, as you will need to depend entirely upon your dealer, and NOT upon Parasound.  
Unauthorized dealers lack the capability to make repairs or arrange for repairs of Parasound  
equipment. Authorized Parasound Dealers are listed at www.parasound.com or you can call us  
at 415-397-7100 between 8:30 am and 4:30 pm Pacific time to verify the status of a dealer.  
A missing or altered serial number could indicate that this unit was sold by an unauthorized  
dealer or is stolen merchandise. If this unit is missing its serial number, you should return it to  
your dealer immediately for a full refund.

UNPACKING YOUR D 200 AND PLACEMENT GUIDELINES  
Unpacking Your D 200  
Carefully unpack your D 200 from its shipping carton and locate all the enclosed accessories:  
Remote control, two AAA batteries  
AC power cord  
Combination cord for two channel audio and composite video  
While you are unpacking your D 200, inspect it thoroughly for possible shipping damage and  
tell your Parasound dealer right away if you find any. If possible, save and store both the inner  
and outer cartons and–most especially–the foam packing inserts, so you can use them to protect  
the D 200 if you have to move it or ship it. You can flatten the cartons to save room in storage  
by cutting the taped seams on the bottom flaps.  
Placement Guidelines  
The D 200 will be easy to use and will last longer if you follow these simple guidelines:  
Place the D 200 on a shelf that will adequately support its weight.  
Unless you’ll control the D 200 through a remote infrared sensor/repeater system, pick a shelf  
where you can aim the remote control handset directly at the D 200. (If you do use remote  
repeater sensors, be sure the remote’s signals can’t reach both the IR repeater’s sensor and the  
unit’s front-panel sensors at the same time.)  
If you’re installing the D 200 yourself, use cables that are long enough to leave at least two feet  
of slack; that will enable you to pull the D 200 out of the cabinet to check or change connections  
without inadvertently disconnecting cables. If you’re putting the D 200 in a cabinet, make sure  
there’s grab space on each side; with a space that’s at least 22 inches wide, you’ll be able to turn  
it around for access to its rear panel connections.  
Rack Mounting Your Parasound D 200  
With its four feet removed, the D 200’s front panel height occupies three rack spaces (514” or  
133 mm—a single standard rack space occupies 134” vertical space.) For mounting in a standard  
19” equipment rack, you must use the Parasound RMK33 rack mount kit (purchased separately).  
The RMK33 includes four bolts and eight plastic washers with raised “shoulders.”  
Slide one washer onto each mounting bolt with its raised shoulder pointing toward the panel hole.  
Carefully insert the bolt through the hole and slide the other washer on the bolt with its raised  
shoulder facing the rear side of the panel. The washers will sandwich the D 200 panel and the  
four mounting bolts to prevent metal-to-metal contact between the Model D 200 chassis, the  
equipment rack, and the other components mounted in the rack.  
Note: Tighten each bolt just  
enough to keep the unit secure  
in the rack to avoid deforming  
the shoulder washers.

GETTING STARTED  
To get the most out of your NewClassic Model D 200, you’ll need to know how to connect it  
to your other components, how to set it up for your listening space and how to operate it. This  
manual is organized in this order:  
Connecting Your D 200: pages 8 – 12  
This will show you how to make the video and audio connections that go between your  
NewClassic Model D 200 and your 5.1 channel or 7.1 channel surround controller (or AV receiver)  
and your TV. Which connections you make will depend on the capabilities of the other equipment  
in your audio system.  
Setting Up Your D 200: pages 15 – 26  
This section will show you how to make the selections in your D 200’s Setup Menu to match  
your D 200 to your TV and your loudspeakers. You will also learn how to set up each channel to  
play at the correct volume level and so that the sound from each channel reaches your seating  
position at the correct time. You do not need to make all of these adjustments right away, so feel  
free to enjoy your movies now and come back to this section at a later time.  
Remote Control Functions: pages 27 – 28  
Here you will learn about some of the more advanced buttons on your remote control.  
Frequently Asked Questions: pages 29 – 30  
There may be answers here if you can’t get something to work correctly. If you are still having  
problems, please contact your dealer or call the Parasound Tech Department for technical support.  
The telephone number and hours are shown on page 31.

CONNECTING YOUR D 200  
Making Connections  
The connector jacks on various components often have different names, so read the operating  
instructions of each component to make sure you are identifying the correct jacks by the names  
we use on the D 200 and in this manual.  
Jacks on the units and the plugs on your video and audio cables are usually color coded to  
simplify hookup. Be sure to connect the same color plugs to their corresponding jacks.  
Don’t attach the D 200’s AC cord yet. You will do this after all the other connections are made.

CONNECTING YOUR D 200 continued  
VIDEO CONNECTIONS  
You should make the video connection between the D 200 and your TV first. It will be either direct  
or via the video inputs on your surround controller (or AV receiver). A video connection is required  
to view the D 200’s setup menu on your TV. This section will help you make the video connection.  
The D 200 includes four different types of video outputs. All of the video outputs can be active  
at the same time allowing you to use a combination of connections for a second TV or second  
Zone. You will connect only one of the D 200 video outputs for your primary viewing area, or  
“main zone.” Choose the best quality video output for which your TV has a matching input.  
- HDMI provides the best picture quality. Only High Definition digital TVs include an HDMI input.  
- Component video is the next best and consists of three separate cables.  
- S-video is next, but it’s a big step down in picture quality from component video.  
- Composite video is the lowest quality but is the most common type of connection.  
HDMI Video Connections  
Connect the HDMI Output connector of the D 200 to the HDMI INPUT connector on your TV  
using a high quality HDMI-certified cable. If your TV does not have an HDMI or DVI connector  
you should skip to “Component Video connections” on the next page.  
HDMI connections are for the transmission of uncompressed wide bandwidth digital video and  
stereo or multi-channel digital audio signals. HDMI data transmission is usually superior because  
it avoids degradation from video digital-to-analog and analog-to-digital conversion, so what you  
see and hear is a perfect reproduction of the disc being played.  
“HDMI” will flash on the D 200’s front panel when an HDMI cable is not connected between the  
D 200 and a TV or if your TV is turned off. If you are not using the HDMI output you can turn it off  
in the Video setup menu and it will stop flashing.  
Note: If you have more than one HDMI source component (such as a cable or satellite receiver,  
or a game console) you may need to use an external HDMI switcher.  
We strongly recommend the HDMI-certified Parasound Zhd five input switcher. You can find  
details on the Zhd at www.parasound.com.  
D 200 HDMI Output to a TV’s DVI Input  
If your TV is equipped with a DVI input connector instead of an HDMI input connector you might  
be able to use it with a commercially available HDMI-to-DVI adapter. Please make sure your TV’s  
DVI Input supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), otherwise it will not be  
compatible with the D 200. If you plan to route the DVI signal through your surround controller’s  
or AV receiver’s DVI input, it must also support HDCP.  
Note: Many earlier model TVs with DVI inputs are not HDCP-compliant (digital copyright protection)  
and will not operate with the D 200 HDMI output. Your TV’s owner’s manual or your TV dealer  
can tell you if the TV is HDCP-compliant.

10  
CONNECTING YOUR D 200 continued  
No HDMI or DVI input on your TV?  
If your TV does not have an HDMI input you will have to use one of the analog video  
connections. These connections are Component, S-Video and Composite. Choose the  
highest quality connection that your TV has.  
Component Video Connections  
If your TV doesn’t have an input for HDMI or DVI  
This is a three-cable connection that must use cables that are made for video. The three Component  
Video jacks are identified with red, green, and blue colors. The component video cable’s plugs are  
usually color-coded to help you connect the same color jacks on the D 200 and your TV.  
Connect either set of the Component Video Out jacks on your D 200 to the three  
corresponding Component Video Input jacks on your TV or your surround controller/receiver.  
S-Video Connections  
If your TV doesn’t have an input for HDMI, DVI or Component Video  
Connect either the S-Video 1 or 2 Out jack on your D 200 to the S-VIDEO input jack of your  
surround controller/receiver or TV. The S-Video 1 and 2 Out jacks carry the same video signal,  
enabling connection of two TVs.  
Note: Connect the S-Video jacks only if you do not use either the Component Video or  
Composite Video connections.  
Composite Video Connections  
If your TV doesn’t have an input for HDMI, DVI, Component Video or S-Video  
Connect either the Composite Video 1 or 2 Out jack on your D 200 to the Composite VIDEO  
(or sometimes called simply VIDEO) input jack of your surround sound controller/receiver or TV. The  
Composite Video 1 and 2 Out jacks carry the same video signal, enabling connection of two TVs.  
Note: Connect the Composite Video jacks only if you do not use either the Component Video  
or S-Video connections. An exception is if you are using the remote, Zone B, feature on a  
Parasound C 1, C 2 or Model 7100 7.1 Channel Surround Controller.  
Note: All of the analog video connections are active simultaneously.

11  
CONNECTING YOUR D 200 continued  
AUDIO CONNECTIONS  
TO YOUR SURROUND CONTROLLER OR RECEIVER  
There are three types of audio output connections, unbalanced analog, digital and HDMI.  
The proper connection will depend on your audio system’s capabilities.  
Analog Audio Outputs  
5.1 Channel Analog Audio Outputs  
Connect these jacks to the corresponding channel input jacks of your  
surround controller or AV receiver. These connections are required to  
reproduce high resolution multi-channel DVD-A (DVD Audio) and SACD  
recordings because full resolution is not available via the HDMI or Digital  
Coaxial or Optical outputs. If you do not plan on listening to DVD-A or SACD  
discs you do not need to use these jacks.  
Note: The D 200 supports HDMI 1.1 which does not  
include playback of SACD audio over HDMI.  
Unbalanced Stereo Outputs  
These jacks can connect to a second stereo preamp or receiver or to the remote  
Zone audio input jacks on a Parasound 7.1 Channel Surround Controller. They  
carry the same signals as the 5.1 Analog Audio Output L and R jacks.  
Note: You will not hear any dialog from the stereo outputs when playing a DVD  
recorded with surround sound, unless you selected NONE for the center speaker  
in the Audio setup menu. For information on the Audio setup menu see page 19.  
Digital Outputs  
Connect either the Digital Coaxial jack or the Optical connector (Toslink) to one  
of the Coaxial or Optical inputs on your surround controller or receiver. This is your  
primary audio connection for use with DVD movies and CDs. When using the  
Coaxial output, make sure to use a digital cable that is made for this purpose; a  
standard audio cable will not pass digital signals correctly. Toslink cables are fragile;  
be very careful not to bend the fiber optic cable sharply.  
Note: The D 200 Coaxial or Optical digital outputs do not carry DVD Audio and  
SACD digital audio signals. To play multi-channel DVD Audios and SACDs, you  
should also connect the 5.1 Ch Audio Output jacks.

12  
CONNECTING YOUR D 200 continued  
HDMI Audio Connection  
A small number of surround controllers and receivers can decode the audio  
in the HDMI signal and therefore no other audio connection is necessary  
for your main zone. If your surround controller or receiver does not have an  
HDMI input or does not decode HDMI audio you will need to use the Digital  
Coaxial or Optical connections and the 5.1 channel analog audio inputs.  
Note: Some TVs with HDMI inputs do not accept HDMI audio signals. For these TV sets you’ll need  
to make separate audio connections from the D 200’s Digital or Analog Audio Output jacks. If you’re  
using a TV’s DVI input you will need to make an analog audio connection because DVI cables do not  
carry audio signals. High-Resolution SACD audio is not available through the HDMI connection.  
AC Connection and Rear Panel Power Switch  
The D 200 operates on 100 - 240 volts, so no AC voltage selector switch is  
necessary. Plug its AC power cord into an AC outlet that is always live (not  
switched). The D 200 will not operate properly if it’s plugged into an AC outlet  
that might be switched off. When the rear panel AC Power switch is switched  
on you can turn the D 200 on and off with its front panel On-Off button or  
remote control On and Off buttons. The only time you will be likely to turn  
off the AC Power switch is when you will be away for an extended time.  
IR Remote Repeater Input  
The IR input jack is a 1/8” (3.5mm) mini jack that connects to an  
IR (infrared) repeater system. An IR repeater system includes an  
IR receiver that relays or “repeats” the IR commands from your remote  
control handset to extend its range. This enables you to control your D 200  
from another room, or when it is located behind closed cabinet doors.  
The Loop Out jack will relay the same IR information present at the input jack making it easy to  
connect a second IR-controlled component.  
Note: Position the IR repeater receiver so that the IR beam from your remote control handset  
cannot also reach the D 200, otherwise, the D 200 may not respond correctly to the remote’s  
commands. When positioning the IR repeater’s receiver remember that infrared can be reflected  
like visible light.  
RS-232 Serial Port  
This 9-pin female DB9 connector is a full-duplex serial port. This permits  
the D 200 to communicate in two directions with software-based home  
automation and control systems such as Crestron, AMX, Control4, and  
Elan. The RS-232 write (command) and read (display feedback) codes  
may be found at: www.parasound.com.  
When the D 200 is connected to such a controller, it can be controlled and its status monitored  
from keypads and hand-held remotes or touch-screen panels throughout your house. The  
capabilities of such connections, and the programming and interfacing needed will depend on  
the automation system you select; consult your Parasound dealer or custom installer for more  
information regarding interfacing an external control system to your D 200.  
Video & Audio Connections for a Remote Zone  
Parasound surround controllers and many AV receivers include input jacks so you can watch  
your movies in another room (usually called the remote zone, or Zone B).  
- Connect one of the D 200’s Composite Video Out jacks to the Zone Video Input jack on  
your surround controller.  
- Connect the D 200’s audio Stereo jacks to the Zone audio input jacks on your surround controller.  
These are independent from the video and audio connections you used for your home theater.

POWER UP YOUR D 200  
After your D 200 is connected to the rest of your home theater system you are ready for its  
shake-down cruise. Select the TV’s Input for its Input jacks which you connected to the  
D 200’s Video Out jacks.  
- Press the D 200’s rear panel Master AC Power switch to its On position. You should now  
notice a very faint red glow behind its Power button.  
- Press the Power button on the front panel to turn the D 200 on.  
- You can now press the LOAD button and insert a DVD into the exposed loading tray.  
A few seconds after you press the PLAY button you should see and hear the opening  
screens of the movie.  
- Once you are confident that the D 200 is properly connected to the rest of your system you  
may want to adjust some of the settings in the setup menu. The next section of this manual  
is dedicated to the setup menu.  
Note: If you don’t see/hear anything now, please recheck your connections and make sure your  
TV is on. Check that the TV and surround controller (or AV receiver) selected inputs are the same  
as the input jacks which are connected to the D 200.

SETTING UP YOUR D 200  
Navigating the Setup Menu with the Remote Handset  
You’ll need to make some selections so that the D 200 performs correctly in your home theater  
system. These Menu settings are selected by using the D 200’s remote control handset. If you  
have not already done so, open the battery compartment cover and install the batteries, making  
sure their directions match the markings on the remote.  
Notes:  
- You don’t need to make all of these selections right away.  
- Your D 200 must be connected to a TV to use the setup menu because its front panel does not  
display the setup menu. Don’t forget to select the proper input on your TV.  
- If you think your D 200 is set up for the wrong video type (NTSC or PAL) or if there is no output  
from the HDMI jack please see the FAQ section of this manual.  
- If your D 200 is connected to your TV only by an HDMI cable and you cannot see the setup  
menu, you may need to temporarily connect a composite video cable in order to view the setup  
menu. Then you can turn on your D 200’s HDMI output.  
Start with your D 200 power turned on and at full stop (press the STOP button twice).  
Press the SETUP button on your remote handset.  
The main menu will appear.  
This is the onscreen display (OSD)  
Setup Menu Structure  
The MAIN MENU setup screen shows the titles of the five setup categories.  
- VIDEO SETUP  
- AUDIO SETUP  
- LANGUAGE SETUP  
- OTHER SETUP  
- ADVANCED VIDEO  
Each of these titles branches out into its own page,  
where you will make your actual selections or adjust-  
ments. For example, when you select VIDEO SETUP  
you will see the VIDEO SETUP page.

SETTING UP YOUR D 200 continued  
Once you see the setup menu on your TV screen you can make  
selections or adjustments with the D 200 remote handset’s  
,
,
,
cursor buttons and central ENTER button. You only need to move  
your thumb a short distance to press any of these five buttons and  
you’ll soon know which button you’re pressing without having to look  
at the remote. The setup process will go much faster when you are  
focused on the Setup menu on your TV, without having to look at  
which remote button you’re pressing.  
Actual adjustments or selections on each menu page are made with  
the  
,
,
and cursor buttons. Press the and cursor buttons  
to select the item in the left column which you wish to adjust. When you select a menu item  
it will be highlighted. Then press the cursor button to highlight the right column. Use the  
and buttons to highlight your selection or adjustment in the right column and then press  
the ENTER button to select it. Press the cursor button to return to the left column.  
After you have made all the selections for that menu  
page, press the button until EXIT is highlighted.  
When you press the ENTER button to select EXIT,  
the next higher level menu page will reappear.  
Saving Your Setup Selections  
Your settings are automatically saved when  
you press the SETUP button on the remote or  
by pressing the ENTER button when EXIT is  
highlighted on the MAIN MENU.

SETTING UP YOUR D 200 continued  
VIDEO SETUP MENU  
This is the first menu page you should set up; it’s used to adapt the D 200 to the type of TV you  
are using. The D 200 comes from the factory with the HDMI output turned on and a screen  
shape of 16:9 which is suitable for widescreen TVs.  
HDMI OUTPUT  
If your TV is equipped with an HDMI input you will want to set  
the D 200’s HDMI output to ON. When the D 200’s HDMI out-  
put is turned on, “HDMI” will illuminate continuously on the  
front panel display. If the HDMI output is turned on and the  
D 200 is not connected to a TV with an HDMI input, or if the  
HDMI TV is not turned on, then “HDMI” will flash on and off.  
Note: Progressive scan (SCAN TYPE) is not available through  
the component video outputs when HDMI is set to ON.  
HDMI FORMAT  
This changes the HDMI colors in case you are using a  
DVI-equipped TV instead of a TV with an HDMI input.  
The three settings are YCbCr, RGB NORMAL and  
RGB ENHANCED.  
- Select YCbCr if your TV has an HDMI input.  
- Select RGB NORMAL if you are using a TV with a  
DVI input (with a DVI-to-HDMI adapter). RGB NORMAL  
outputs the video signals from the HDMI OUTPUT  
connector with a digital RGB video level (data range)  
of 16 (black) to 235 (white).  
- Select RGB ENHANCED if the black levels do not look  
correct when using a DVI connection. RGB ENHANCED outputs the video signals with a digital  
RGB video level (data range) of 0 (black) to 246 (white). These settings are determined by your  
particular TV; for details, refer to the operating instructions of your TV.  
VIDEO OUTPUT  
This selects the resolution of the video signals output  
from the HDMI jack. VIDEO OUTPUT should be set to  
match your TV’s native resolution. The native resolution  
of most HDMI-equipped TVs is either 720p or 1080i.  
Refer to the operating instructions of your TV for details  
on its native resolution. We invite you to experiment  
with these settings to see which looks best.  
Note: If you don’t see any picture after selecting a  
resolution, it may mean that you selected a resolution  
that is incompatible with your TV. The AUTO setting will  
allow your D 200 and TV to “talk” to each other and set  
the appropriate resolution automatically.

18  
SETTING UP YOUR D 200 continued  
SCAN TYPE  
This determines if the component video output is  
interlaced (480i) or progressive scan (480p). Refer to  
your TV’s operating and connection instructions to find  
out if it is compatible with a progressive scan signal.  
Note: If the HDMI OUTPUT is turned on the component  
video output will be forced to the interlaced setting and  
cannot be changed to progressive scan.  
TV DISPLAY  
This should be set to match your TV’s aspect ratio  
(screen shape). If your TV has a 4:3 aspect ratio select  
either 4:3 LETTERBOX or 4:3 PAN-SCAN. If your TV is a  
“widescreen” TV, select 16:9 WIDE.  
- PAN-SCAN is useful for viewing a 16:9 or widescreen  
DVD on a 4:3 TV. PAN-SCAN automatically trims off  
the far left and right of the image so that the remaining  
picture completely fills your 4:3 TV screen.  
- 4:3 LETTERBOX preserves the full 16:9 or widescreen  
picture width, but it leaves black bars at the top and  
bottom of the screen.  
TV SYSTEM  
This determines if your D 200 will output an NTSC or a  
PAL signal. Set the TV SYSTEM according to your  
geographic location or refer to your TVs owner’s  
manual for the proper setting.  
- NTSC is the television broadcast system used in  
North America and some Asian countries.  
- PAL is most commonly used in Europe.  
Note: Many newer TVs adjust for NTSC or PAL for-  
mats automatically. If you think your D 200 is set to the  
wrong setting because you cannot see any picture, see  
the FAQ section on page 29.  
BLACK LEVEL  
This allows you to select the intensity of the black  
output by the D 200. Please note that not all TVs are  
capable of displaying the darker black levels.

19  
SETTING UP YOUR D 200 continued  
AUDIO SETUP MENU  
You can skip this Audio Setup (pages 19-21) if you are only using Digital Coax or Optical  
audio outputs because these settings only affect the analog outputs.  
This section will help you set up the audio portion of the D 200. SPEAKER SIZE, DISTANCE SETUP  
and LEVEL SETUP only affect the Analog Audio 5.1 Channel Outputs. The setup for the Digital  
Coaxial and Optical outputs is made in the menu of your surround controller or AV receiver. Refer  
to the owner’s manual of your surround sound processor or AV receiver for setting up your system  
speakers when using the digital outputs of the D 200.  
SPEAKER SIZE  
This is the first step in the Audio Setup of your D 200;  
it’s used to adapt the D 200 to the number, locations,  
and types of speakers in your system. The D 200  
comes from the factory with all speakers set to  
SMALL because this applies to the majority of  
home theater systems.  
The SMALL setting is for speakers with limited bass  
capacity (bass drivers smaller than 6”);  
To reduce distortion and increase power handling for  
“small” speakers the D 200 filters out the bass signals  
and redirects them to the subwoofer channel. This bass  
diversion takes place at the frequency setting in the  
SIZE SETUP menu.  
The LARGE setting is for larger speakers which can  
handle low bass without distortion and often when a  
subwoofer is not used in the system. There is no bass  
filtering. If you’re not sure if you should classify your  
speakers as “Small” or “Large,” watch a few movies  
scenes at SMALL and again at LARGE to determine  
which sounds better.  
SUBWOOFER  
Select YES if your system includes a subwoofer.  
Select NO if you’re not using a subwoofer.  
FRONT L&R  
These are the left and right front speakers and may be  
set to LARGE or SMALL.  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
20  
SETTING UP YOUR D 200 continued  
CENTER SPEAKER  
This may be set to LARGE, SMALL or NONE. Set to  
LARGE or SMALL, according to the guidelines in the  
previous paragraphs. Set to NONE if your home theater  
has no center channel speaker. The D 200 will blend the  
center channel signals into your front left and right front  
speakers. This creates a “Phantom” center channel  
sound image because the center channel sound will  
appear to come from the middle space between your  
left and right front speakers, even without an actual  
center channel speaker.  
SURROUND L&R  
These are the speakers that are placed at the sides  
of your room. This may be set to LARGE, SMALL or  
NONE. Set to LARGE or SMALL, according to the  
guidelines above. If you select NONE the surround  
channel signals are blended into the front channels.  
CROSSOVER  
This sets the subwoofer bass filter’s cutoff frequency  
from 70 Hz to120 Hz, in 10 Hz increments and from  
120 Hz to 160 Hz, in 20 Hz increments. The optimum  
setting will depend on your speakers, your sub, and  
your room’s acoustics. The best starting point is 80 Hz.  
Don’t use both the crossover filter in your sub and the  
Crossover filter in the D 200, or some bass frequencies  
you want may not be heard at all. If your subwoofer  
doesn’t have a bypass switch for its crossover filter,  
adjust it to its highest frequency setting to minimize  
redundant filtering. If your sub has a fixed filter and no  
bypass, set the D 200 Sub filter to 160 Hz.  
DISTANCE SETUP  
Use the DISTANCE SETUP menu to calibrate the arrival  
time for the sound from each speaker. Convincing  
surround sound depends on the sound reaching your  
ears from each speaker at the same time as the recording  
engineer intended. For example, if your front speakers  
are three feet further from you than your surrounds are,  
the sound from the front speakers will reach you about  
3 milliseconds (0.003 sec.) later than the surrounds and  
you might hear, say, an echo before the shot itself. To  
compensate for your speaker placement, your D 200  
can delay the sound from the surround speakers by  
three milliseconds, restoring the correct timing. You can  
set delays by measuring the distance from each speaker  
to your head when you’re seated in your favorite  
viewing/listening position and entering it in the  
DISTANCE SETUP.  
Use a measuring tape and note the distance from your primary listening position to each speaker.  
The D 200 will translate each foot (.34 meters) of distance for a given channel into 1ms (millisec-  
ond) of delay. For each speaker, the distance can be set in 1-foot increments from 5 to 30 feet (or  
1.5 to 9 meters, if you set the UNITS for METERS).  
Note: You cannot set distance for any speakers set to NONE or NO in the SPEAKER SIZE setup page.

21  
SETTING UP YOUR D 200 continued  
LEVEL SETUP  
Use the LEVEL SETUP menu to calibrate the volume  
level for each speaker. Convincing surround sound  
depends on the sound reaching your ears from each  
speaker at the same volume level as the recording  
engineer intended. Because home theater systems and  
home theater environments vary, the simplest way to  
do that is to send a standard test signal to each speaker,  
one at a time, and measure each one’s sound level at  
the primary listening position. You can then adjust  
each channel’s level so that all the sound levels are  
calibrated to be equal.  
Note: These adjustments do not effect the coaxial  
and optical digital outputs. Only the analog audio  
outputs are effected.  
TEST TONE  
Press this button to start the test noise which will  
cycle from speaker to speaker every few seconds. The  
current speaker reproducing the test tone is identified  
at the bottom left corner of the setup screen. As the  
test tone cycles through each speaker you can adjust  
each speaker setting so that all speakers will play at  
the same level.  
Note: You cannot set the level for any speakers set to  
NONE or NO in the SPEAKER SIZE setup page.  
You can match speaker levels to each other with  
reasonable accuracy just by listening to the D 200’s  
test tone. However, you might wish to purchase an inexpensive SPL (sound-pressure-level)  
meter to make more accurate measurements. Radio Shack makes two popular and  
inexpensive SPL meters.  
To use the SPL meter for level calibration will require both hands. Hold the SPL meter in one  
hand with its microphone end upright, near where your head would be when you sit in your  
primary viewing/listening seat. Hold the D 200’s remote handset in your other hand; you’ll be  
able to make level calibration adjustments using just your thumb to press its cursor buttons.

SETTING UP YOUR D 200 continued  
AUDIO OUTPUT  
In this section you will be able to set up some of your D 200’s more advanced audio features.  
AUDIO OUT  
This sets both the HDMI audio output and the analog  
audio output together. It does not affect the coaxial and  
optical digital outputs.  
- HDMI AUTO, the D 200 HDMI jack automatically outputs  
only the number of HDMI audio channels your HDMI TV  
or surround controller/receiver can decode.  
- MULTI CH allows surround sound audio signals to pass  
through the HDMI and Analog 5.1 Channel output jacks.  
- STEREO restricts both HDMI and analog audio outputs  
to two channel stereo, disabling surround sound.  
Note: The AUDIO OUT setting does not affect the digital coaxial and optical outputs. The format  
of the digital signal at the coaxial and optical output jacks is determined solely by the DVD being  
played and the settings in the DVD disc setup menu.  
LATE NIGHT  
This is a dynamic range limiter which you can set to restrict  
the very loud portions of Dolby Digital soundtracks. This  
operates by making low volume sounds a bit easier to hear  
while also reducing the volume level of the louder sounds.  
Selecting LATE NIGHT enables you to hear all of the dialog  
without awakening your family (or neighbors) when the sound  
effects get loud. LATE NIGHT can be set from 0 to 8, the  
higher numbers represent greater limit of dynamic range.  
Note: This feature only works with DVD movies recorded in Dolby Digital and it only affects the  
5.1 analog and stereo outputs. Your surround receiver or AV receiver will have its own late night  
adjustment for digital audio signals coming from the D 200’s Digital Coaxial or Optical output jacks.  
DVD AUDIO AREA  
Some DVD Audio discs consist of separate DVD-Video and  
DVD-Audio content (areas) on a single disc. You can select  
the desired area to be played by selecting the DVD AUDIO  
or DVD VIDEO AREA. Please note that if the disc does not  
contain separate Video and Audio sections, the available section  
will be played regardless of the DVD AUDIO AREA setting.  
SACD AREA  
Some SACDs consist of two channel and multi-channel  
audio areas on a single disc. In addition, “hybrid SACDs”  
consist of both high-resolution SACD material and  
standard CD-resolution material on a single disc. You  
can select the desired area to be played by selecting  
the MULTICHANNEL, 2CHANNEL or CD AREA. You can  
also select the desired SACD disc area by pressing the  
SACD button on the remote handset.  
Note: An SACD cannot play if you selected an SACD area  
which it does not contain. If the disc won’t play, the D 200  
front panel will show NO MULTI CH. In this case you must  
select the appropriate SACD AREA in the setup menu or  
by pressing the SACD button on the remote handset.

23  
SETTING UP YOUR D 200 continued  
LANGUAGE SETUP  
Your D 200 is set at the factory to play movies in  
English. If you prefer your DVD movies to default to a  
language other than English this section will help you  
make those settings.  
Note: If a DVD was not recorded with your  
selected language a default language will be used.  
AUDIO will set the default  
audio track language for your DVD movies.  
SUBTITLE will set the default  
subtitle language for your DVD movies.  
DISC MENUS will set the default  
DVD movie menu language.  
Setting up Other languages not listed  
If the language you desire is not listed you can select the OTHER menu option and enter the  
4-digit language code. Please refer to the “DVD Language Code List” on page 32 to find the  
code for your preferred language. Enter the 4-digit code by using the numeric buttons on the  
remote handset, then press the ENTER button. When the code is input correctly the main  
Language Setup page will be displayed. If you input an invalid code, INVALID LANGUAGE CODE  
is displayed. In this case check your language code and re-enter it.

SETTING UP YOUR D 200 continued  
OTHER SETUP  
The OTHER SETUP page contains a number of setup  
options to help you get the most from your D 3. These  
settings are not required for basic operation, and you  
may prefer to make these settings later, or not at all.  
ANGLE MARKER  
Some DVDs contain scenes which have been shot si-  
multaneously from multiple camera angles. The ANGLE  
MARKER setting determines if the angle symbol “  
is displayed when an alternate viewing angle is available.  
The same scene can be viewed from each of these  
different angles in DVDs that include these special  
features. The recorded angles differ depending on the disc used. During playback of the scene

SCREEN SAVER  
Some TVs may have an image “burned” into its screen if a static picture is displayed continu-  
ously for a long time in the stop or pause mode. To prevent this, set the SCREEN SAVER to ON.  
With the screen saver on, the D 200 will automatically activate the screen saver function if a  
static picture is displayed for over 5 minutes. Please note that “burn in” is most common on CRT  
and Plasma TVs and therefore the screen saver should always be turned on with these TV types.  
PARENTAL  
This feature is used to restrict playback of DVD movies that contain scenes with language or  
violence that are inappropriate for young people. Set the PARENTAL level to the rating you wish  
to allow others to view on your D 200. Discs with ratings that exceed the PARENTAL setting will  
not be playable.  
PASSWORD  
This allows the default password to be changed to something you can more easily remember.  
The D 200 comes from the factory with the password set to “3308.” If you forget your password  
enter the code 3308, then change the password to a new one. Make a note of the new  
password in a secure location.  
MOMENTARY OSD  
This determines if the OSD (On Screen Display) appears on your TV screen when changing  
DVD chapters, pausing, etc. Turn the MOMENTARY OSD to OFF if you do not want your D 200  
to display any status information on your TV.  
BACKGROUND  
This allows you to select the background color on your TV screen when playing CDs and when the  
D 200 is stopped. The options are BLUE, BLACK and LOGO. LOGO is the Parasound logo screen.  
RESTORE DEFAULT?  
If you select this, it will cancel all of your menu settings and return your D 200 to the original  
factory default settings. You will lose all the settings you have made.

SETTING UP YOUR D 200 — ADVANCED continued  
ADVANCED VIDEO  
This section of the setup menu allows you to fine-tune  
the colors and picture characteristics of your D 200 to compensate for the characteristics of  
your particular TV, as well as the brightness and color of your room. There are two sub-menus  
on the ADVANCED VIDEO setup page, CUSTOM VIDEO SETUP and PRESET SELECT. We do  
not recommend experimenting with these advanced video adjustments unless you are unsatis-  
fied with the picture quality.  
Note: The easiest way to make these adjustments is to first start a movie playing. Now press  
the STOP button only once and then the SETUP button. Make your video adjustments, exit  
the SETUP MENU and then press the PLAY button. The movie will resume from the same  
location making it easy to see how the picture has changed.  
CUSTOM VIDEO SETUP  
On this menu page you will be able to make adjustments  
to many different picture parameters. After you have  
completed making these adjustments, go to the PRESET  
SELECT setup page and select the USER preset. If you  
don’t do this your custom video setup adjustments will  
not take effect.  
BRIGHTNESS  
This sets the brightness of the image  
within the range of -6 to 6.  
CONTRAST  
This adjusts the difference between light and dark of  
the image within the range of -6 to +6. Dark colors will  
become darker and light colors will become lighter.  
HUE  
This adjusts the balance between green and red within  
the range of Green 6 to Red 6. The easiest way to ad-  
just HUE is to adjust it for the most natural skin tones.  
SHARPNESS M (middle)  
This adjusts the sharpness of the image in the middle  
band of video frequencies, within the range of -6 to +6.  
Its effects are very subtle and might not be visible with many DVDs.  
SHARPNESS H (high)  
This adjusts the sharpness of the image in the high band of video frequencies within the  
range of -6 to +6. Its effects are very subtle and might not be visible with many DVDs.  
CCS  
This stands for Cross Color Suppression and allows you to remove the cross color artifacts  
in the video signal due to poor Y/C separation present in some DVD video recordings.  
CHROMA LEVEL  
This allows the adjustment of the overall color intensity. This is also known as color saturation.  
CHROMA LEVEL can be set from -6 to +6.

SETTING UP YOUR D 200 — ADVANCED continued  
CHROMA DELAY  
This adjusts the delay between the video brightness signal and the video color signal  
information of an image. If the luminence (Y) connecting cable is significantly longer than the  
chroma (C) cable the luma information will arrive later than the chroma information, causing  
poor picture quality. CHROMA DELAY can be adjusted from -2 to +2.  
ENHANCE V (vertical)  
The vertical enhancer will enhance the vertical transitions in the luma, sharpening the vertical  
detail to produce a more lifelike picture. This can be adjusted in a range of 0 to 11. Its effects are  
very subtle and might not be visible with many DVDs.  
ENHANCE H (horizontal)  
The horizontal enhancer will enhance the horizontal luma, and horizontal chroma, sharpening the  
horizontal details. This can be adjusted in a range of 0 to 11. Its effects are very subtle and might  
not be visible with many DVDs.  
DIGITAL NR (Noise Reduction)  
This feature can help remove noise from the picture, resulting in a cleaner image without  
“snow.” The settings are OFF, AUTO, LOW, MID and HIGH. We encourage you to experiment  
with the settings. In many cases the image quality will be clear enough without Digital NR.  
DEFAULT?  
This will reset all of the settings under the CUSTOM VIDEO SETUP to the factory defaults.  
Note: Don’t forget to select the USER option on the PRESET SELECT setup page or your custom  
video adjustments will not take effect.  
PRESET SELECT  
On this setup page you can select 5 different video  
“presets.” Each preset will have a slightly different  
effect on your image. Based on your TV and your  
personal preference you may wish to experiment  
with these different settings.  
NONE  
This maintains the factory default settings. This is  
equivalent to setting all of the adjustments on the  
CUSTOM VIDEO SETUP page to 0.  
EASY VIEW  
This makes the picture bright, but slightly more diffused, with softer edges.  
FILM-LIKE  
This gives a movie film character to the picture.  
MOST VIVID  
This makes shapes and colors stand out boldly with the most contrast; it is especially enjoyable  
for sporting events.  
USER  
This will activate the settings made on the CUSTOM VIDEO SETUP page.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS  
Why does the image look stretched or squished?  
The setting for TV DISPLAY might not be set correctly in the VIDEO SETUP menu.  
Set TV DISPLAY in the VIDEO SETUP menu for the correct shape of your TV’s screen.  
See page 18 for information on setting TV DISPLAY.  
Why can’t I turn on Progressive Scan?  
Progressive scan is not possible while the HDMI output is turned on.  
Turn the HDMI output off In the VIDEO SETUP menu and then turn progressive scan on.  
I am using the D 200 with an HDMI-to-DVI adapter and the image is scrambled or is not visible at all.  
Many earlier model TVs with DVI inputs will not operate with the D 200’s HDMI output because  
they are not HDCP-compliant (digital copyright protection). Review your TV’s owner’s manual or  
contact your dealer if you are not sure if your TV is HDCP-compliant.  
I cannot hear the dialog in movies while using the stereo analog audio outputs.  
How do I get the dialog through the Left and Right output jacks?  
In order to get the dialog through the stereo outputs you must select NONE  
for the center speaker in the SPEAKER SIZE setup menu.  
SACD discs will not play and the TV shows “NO MULTI CH”.  
This will occur when you are trying to play a stereo SACD and the D 200 is setup for Multi-channel  
SACD playback. In this case you must select 2CHANNEL for the SACD area in the setup menu or  
by pressing the SACD button on the remote handset.  
I cannot see any picture on the TV and the front panel of the D 200 shows  
“PURE DIGITAL” or “PURE ANALOG”.  
The video circuits of the D 200 have been turned off. Press the front panel or remote control  
button labeled Vid/Digital until PURE ANALOG and PURE DIGITAL are no longer displayed. The  
video circuits are now turned on.  
Colors are not correct or skin tones do not look realistic.  
Reset the PRESET SELECT under the CUSTOM VIDEO SETUP to NONE. If colors still do not  
look correct you should check the color adjustments of your TV. For more information see your  
TV’s instructions.  
I think the D 200 is set for PAL and I need NTSC because the picture is scrambled or distorted.  
How do I change this to NTSC without being able to see the setup menu?  
- If there is a disc in the D 200, remove it.  
- Press the OFF button to turn the D 200 OFF.  
- Press the ON button to turn the D 200 on again.  
- Press these remote control buttons:  
SETUP – ENTER –  
– ENTER.  
The D 200 will now be set for NTSC operation.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS continued  
There is no picture using the HDMI output.  
How do I turn it on without being able to see the setup menu?  
- If there is a disc in the D 200, remove it.  
- Turn the D 200 Off and then back On  
- On the remote control press:  
SETUP – ENTER –  
– ENTER.  
The HDMI output should now be turned on and HDMI should be displayed on the D 200’s  
front panel.  
Note: The “ ” symbol refers to the right cursor button, not the PLAY button.  
Why is “HDMI” flashing on the front panel?  
HDMI flashes when an HDMI cable is not connected between the D 200 and an HDMI TV. If you  
are not using the HDMI output turn HDMI off in the VIDEO SETUP menu and it will stop flashing.  
How long can the HDMI cable be from the D 200 to my TV?  
The maximum HDMI cable distance will vary significantly between cable brands. Not all brands  
are HDMI-certified and some may use inferior materials, making long runs impossible. When  
an HDMI cable run is too long you may see pixels dropping out (snow over the picture) or the  
picture may be completely blank. We have tested the D 200 with cable runs of over 50 feet (16.5  
Meters) with some cable brands. If you need to go a longer distance we strongly recommend  
the HDMI-certified Parasound Zhd five input switcher. You can find details on the Zhd at www.  
parasound.com.  
What is HDCP?  
HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) is a technology used with DVI and HDMI to  
prevent unauthorized duplication of digital video and audio content. HDCP compliance is required  
on all HDMI equipment and is an option with DVI equipment. Your TV must have HDCP or you  
will not be able to use the D 200’s HDMI output.
