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.
1
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.

RTD206/207 EN 26/4/06 3:22 PM Page 8
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.

Disc Formats you can play
In order to ensure playback, discs must conform with DVD, CD, VCD or SVCD standards. This
unit may not play some recordings or files due to differences in recording formats, software
used & Disc types.
• Do not use its full capacity.
DVD-Video
EN
• CD-Rs should be preferably used instead
of CD-RWs (rewritable CDs) as, in certain
cases, CD-RW playback may be faulty.
• Use reliable, good-quality CD write
software.
Digital video discs - 12 cm, single or
double sided, single or dual layer. DVDs
are highdensity optical discs on which
high quality picture and audio are
recorded by means of digital signals.
• Close all other applications on the
computer to ensure reliable CD-R disc
recording.
DVD-R,DVD-RW, DVD+R,
DVD+RW
mp3 files
Most DVD-R and DVD+R (one recording
only), DVD-RW and DVD+RW discs
(rewritable), depending on the DVD
writer and discs used. Recordings using
DVD-R and DVD-RW discs must be made
in Video DVD mode. Recordings using
DVD+RW discs must be made in
accordance with the specifications for
DVD+RW discs with a 4.7 GB capacity.
CD-R and CD-RW discs containing audio
files in mp3 format. For CD-R mp3 discs,
please follow all the recommendations
for CD-R, along with the comments
below:
DVD+Rewritable
• Your mp3 files should be ISO 9660 or
JOLIET format. ISO 9660 format and Joliet
mp3 files are compatible with Microsoft’s
DOS and Windows, as well as with Apple
Mac.
• mp3 filenames should not exceed 8
characters, and should end with the
“.mp3” extension. General name format:
Title.mp3. When composing your title,
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.
