Connecting to Audio-Visual Components
DIGITAL CONNECTION
If you have a SAT receiver DVD player or CD player with a digital output, you can make
use of an optical digital cable (not supplied) or coaxial digital cable (not supplied) to
carry the audio portion of the signal and enjoy Dolby Digital sound quality. One optical
or coaxial cable is needed for each SAT receiver, DVD player or CD player. When
optical or coaxial cable is used, the analog audio cables are still needed if recording
through a tape or VCR is desired. This receiver provides one optical and one coaxial
digital input for the connection of your components. Please connect your components
(e.g. DVD, SAT or CD) to the appropriate digital inputs and press DIGITAL INPUT to
select the corresponding digital input source.
Note: Optical and coax cables carry only the audio portion of the signal. A video
connection must also be established for a SAT receiver and DVD player. S-video
provides the best connection for the video portion of the signal. Composite video (yellow
RCA connector) can also be used. It is
S-VIDEO
If your video component has a S-Video jack
included, you can make use of it to enjoy
enhanced video quality by connecting it to the
relevant S-Video jack at the rear side of the
receiver. One S-video cable is needed for each
component. When S-Video cable is used,
composite video (yellow RCA connector) cable
must also be connected for VCR recording.
Note: Before plugging in the optical cable or
S-Video cable, make sure to match the shape of
the plug and jack, otherwise, you will not be able to
plug in completely.

to the corresponding color on the receiver. Do the
same for center (with green/black terminal), rear
speaker and the subwoofer (with purple/black termi-
nal).
At least two front speakers (left and right) are
required. For better sound quality, Center speaker,
rear speakers and Subwoofer should also be
connected. Adding center and rear speakers will
enhance surround effects. Adding a Subwoofer will
increase bass response.
Speaker Polarity
When connecting the speakers, make sure the polari-
ties (“+” speaker wire to “+” on the receiver) of
speaker wires and terminals are matched. If the wires
are reversed, the sound will be distorted and will lack
bass (“out of phase” effect).
If you want to enjoy full range of sound effects, with
small speakers, it is a must to use the subwoofer with
the speakers to maintain adequate bass signal.
Connecting the Subwoofer
Connect the subwoofer with the speaker wire (pur-
ple/ black) provided.
This receiver offers a high flexibility for user to use a
large variety of speakers and subwoofers. For more
information please refer to section “Fine Setting of
the Speakers” in “Advanced Sound Control” on page

Alignment
Positioning your speaker
Align the center speaker evenly with (A), or slightly
behind (B), the left and right speakers, but not ahead
of them.
EN
1 Left, Right (Front Speakers)
They carry primarily music and sound effects
2 Center
In surround mode, the center speaker carries much of
the dialogue as well as music and effects. It should be
set between the left and right speakers.
3 Surround (Rear Speakers)
Their overall sound balance should be as close as pos-
sible to the front speakers. Proper placement is vital
to establish an evenly distributed sound field.
Subwoofer
A subwoofer is designed to reproduce powerful low
bass effects (explosions, the rumble of spaceships,
etc.) which dramatically heightens involvement with
the action on the screen. It is therefore recommend-
ed to connect subwoofers when small speakers are
used.

Advanced Setting
Angle
Placing the left and right speakers to form a 45-
degree angle with your favorite viewing position will
duplicate the soundtrack mixer's perspective.
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 provid-
ed with RT2350/RT2350BK/RT2600 are magnetically
shielded to protect your TV set.
It is not recommended to place the rear speakers
near the TV set.

Height
The three speakers should be as close as possible to

Preferred surround placement
Advanced Setting
Alternative Surround Placement
Location
If possible, place surround speakers to either side of
the listening area, not behind it.
Rear wall
If rear wall mounting is the only choice, aim the
speakers at each other (A), towards the front (B) or
even towards the sidewalls (C, D). Experiment with
placement until surround sounds seem to envelop
you, rather than coming from behind you.
Courtesy Dolby Laboratories
Height
If space permits, install surrounds 2-3 feet above
viewers. This helps to minimize localization effects.
Courtesy Dolby Laboratories
No adjacent walls
Surrounds can go on stands facing each other to
approximate the preferred sidewall mounting (A), or
to the sides or rear of the viewing area aimed
upwards. In the latter case, they can go right on the
floor, or preferably, a few feet off the floor such as
on end tables (B).
Courtesy Dolby Laboratories
Aiming
Aiming surrounds straight across the room, not down
at viewers, helps create a more open, spacious sur-
round sound field.

Connecting for Power
Make sure you connect all your
other electronic components and
the speakers before plugging
your receiver into the outlet.
Plug the power cord in the wall
outlet, matching the wide blade
of the plug with the wide slot in
the outlet. Be sure to insert the
plug completely.
EN
Channel balance
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.
Using Headphones
To listen privately through your
audio system, use the PHONES jack
on the receiver. However, make
sure you turn down the volume
before you put on the head-
phones. Increase the volume to the
desired level after headphones are
in place.

Dolby Digital
Sound Enhancement Systems
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
more powerful presence than conventional Dolby
Surround.
This receiver is equipped with several built-in sound
enhancement systems.
EN
Dolby Pro Logic II (RT2600 only)
The Pro Logic II mode uses the built-in circuit to steer the
Left, Center, Right and Surround left and right channel
audio signals and uses all five speakers to play both stereo
and Dolby Pro Logic program source, such as TV and VCR.
Dolby Pro Logic II includes Dolby Pro Logic II Movie, Dolby
Pro Logic II Music and Dolby Pro Logic.
This unit is equipped with Dolby Digital 5.1-channel so
that you can enjoy enhanced full digital surround sound.
Being different from Dolby Pro Logic in which 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 ). These 5 channels,
together with the subwoofer channel for bass sounds
(counted as 0.1 channel ), constitute as 5.1-Channel ( or 6
Channels ) Input for Dolby Digital that brings you the most
sophisticated sound enjoyment.
Use this mode to suit the type of program (such as VCR).

Digital Theater Systems (DTS) (RT2600 only)
DTS is a digital surround system which delivers six channels
of master-quality, 20-bit audio. It offers five full-range
