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 connecting cord (not supplied) or coaxial digital connecting

cord (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 FUNCTION and then rotate MULTIJOG to match your connection.

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

important that the same type of cable (S-video or composite) that is connected from the

Home Theater to the TV is used to connect the SAT receiver or DVD player to the

Home Theater.

FRONT TERMINAL

Remark: If you have a video

camera, video game machine, or an

extra VCR, connect it to VCR 2 jack

at the front of the receiver

DIGITAL INPUT

Connect components

capable of outputing

Dolby Digital (e.g. DVD

or SAT) or standard

PCM (CD) format digital

signals. Read section on

"Input Signal Setting"

under "Advanced Sound

Control" carefully to

adjust the matching

input settings.

If your CD player is equipped with digital optical jacks, use of optical cable is preferred.

What you need is just one more optical digital connecting cord(not supplied). Plug it in

the digital input jack of the receiver and select OPTICAL on the receiver setting (see

details on pg 20 chapter "Input Signal Setting"). You can enjoy better sound quality

brought to you by the optical cable. When optical cable is used, analog cables are still

needed for recording to tape output.

Note: This receiver has one digital optical jack only. Be sure that such connection does

not prevent optical cable connection of other components (e.g. DVD & SAT)

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 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.

Getting Started

Connecting the Speakers

Speakers

There are 6 speakers equipped with the unit (2 front,

1 center, 2 rear, 1 subwoofer). In order to enjoy good

surround effects all six speakers need to be

connected to the receiver

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.

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.

Speaker cords

1 for each speaker, is

needed for connection.

Twist the stripped ends of

speaker cord about 2/3

inch (15 mm). Press down

on the tab to open the ter-

minal and insert the wire.

Snap the tab closed.

To ease speaker connections, the speaker cords and

the terminals are color-coded.

• Red/Black (Front Speakers),

• Blue/Black (Center Speaker)

• Grey/Black (Rear Speakers).

• Brown/Black (Subwoofer)

Connect the L, R speaker (with red/black terminal) on

the back of the speakers to the corresponding color

on the receiver. Do the same for center (with

blue/black terminal), rear speaker (with grey/black

terminal) and the subwoofer (with brown/black ter-

minal).

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 cords

are reversed, the sound will be distorted and will lack

bass (“out of phase” effect).

Connecting the Subwoofer

For RT2280/RT2250, connect the subwoofer with the

speaker cord (brown/ black) provided. For RT2250R,

or if you want to connect your own powered sub-

woofer, a mono aural audio cord (not supplied) is

needed (RCA terminal).

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

21.

NOTE: Make sure the insulation

is completely removed from the

ends of the Antenna and

speaker wires at all connection

points.

Getting Started

Positioning your speaker

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.

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 RT2280/RT2250 are magnetically shielded to

protect your TV set.

It is not recommended to place the rear speakers

near the TV set.

Front Speaker Placement

Even if you can't duplicate this ideal home theater

setup exactly, the suggestions for speaker placement

that follow will help you get good results.

Alignment

Align the center speaker evenly with (A), or slightly

behind (B), the left and right speakers, but not ahead

of them.

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.

Height

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 atop (A) or beneath (B) the TV set.

Courtesy Dolby Laboratories

Getting Started

Preferred surround placement

Location

If possible, place surround speakers to either side of

the listening area, not behind it.

Height

If space permits, install surrounds 2-3 feet above

viewers. This helps to minimize localization effects.

Aiming

Aiming surrounds straight across the room, not down

at viewers, helps create a more open, spacious sur-

round sound field.

Advanced Setting

Alternative Surround Placement

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.

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

Getting Started

Test Tone / Channel balance

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.

(details see operation of test/setup)

Level adjustment & surround channel level expec-

tation

Even though you adjust the surround channel to be

as loud as the others on the test signal, you'll find

that on actual program material the surround chan-

nel is usually much lower than the front. Don't be

tempted to readjust the surround level; program pro-

ducers use surround mostly for subtle atmosphereics

and ambience, and only rarely for special effects. A

good surround mix doesn't call attention to itself; if

it did, it would soon become distracting.

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.

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.

Once headphones are connected, “HEADPHONE

DOWNMIX 2 CHANNEL” will scroll on display. This

feature automatically converts multi-channel speaker

outputs to 2 channel stereo for your listening pleas-

ure.

Hearing Comfort & Well-Being

• Do not play your headset at a high volume.

Hearing experts advise against continous extended

play.

• If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce

volume or discontinue use.

Sound Enhancement Systems

This receiver is equipped with several built-in sound

enhancement systems.

Dolby Pro Logic and Dolby 3 Stereo

This surround system reproduces theater-like sur-

round sound from Dolby-encoded software. The Pro

Logic mode uses the built-in circuit to steer the Left,

Center, Right and Surround channel audio signals and

uses all five speakers and an optional subwoofer to

play decoded Dolby Pro Logic program source, such

as TV and VCR.

The 3 Stereo mode will redirect the Surround signals

to the front left and right speakers when only the

front and center speakers are used.

Use this mode to suit your speaker system configura-

tions (such as size and number of speakers) and type

of program (such as VCR).

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 more powerful presence than conven-

tional Dolby Surround.

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.

Recording Dolby Digital Source

To record from a digital (optical or coaxial) input

using a VCR/Tape that is connected to the receiver,

the sound must be set to stereo first.

Press SURR. MODE to select stereo mode.

If the receiver is set to 5.1 sound information record-

ing from surround speaker, the center speaker will

not be recorded.

Advanced Sound Control

Stereo

The Stereo mode uses the two main channel outputs

from the front speakers. Use this mode if you have

connected the front speakers only.

DSP (Digital Sound Processor)

These digital sound effects resemble sounds in a real

environment such as Stadium, Concert, Theater,

Arena, Church, Club. DSP automatically converts ana-

log audio signals to digital ones which enables you to

adjust the sound without degrading the sound quali-

ty. Different modes will give you different feel of size

and type of listening environment. (Not available in

Dolby Digital (DVD))

Night Mode

By using Dynamic Range Compression technology,

you can enjoy enhanced sound quality by Dolby

Digital at night without interrupting your roommates

or neighbors. While enjoying a Dolby Digital enabled

component (DVD, SAT), you can activate Night Mode

by pressing NIGHT button at the front of the receiver,

and this mode will compress the difference in volume

between normal voices and sounds like explosions.

There are two modes (SOFT, SOFTER) for you to

choose the extents of compression.

Fine Setting of the Components

The receiver has pre-selected the best surround mode

for you once you turn on the unit by pressing the

Source Buttons (like DVD, SAT, CD) directly. The

default surround modes for different components are

as table below.

If you decide to change the surround mode, you can

press the SURR MODE repeatedly to toggle among

the different surround mode choices and select the

one you want.

Dolby Digital/Pro Logic 3 Stereo Stereo

The receiver will keep the last selection in memory.

Input Signal Setting

The receiver defaults to the most convenient settings

for your easiest use (see table).

If your connection is different from the default set-

ting,

1. Select the source

2. Press FUNCTION

3. Rotate MULTI JOG to toggle among optical/ coaxi-

al/ analog to match your connection. Your selection

will be stored automatically.

Every time you press the source button, the input set-

ting (e.g. DVD/ OPTI) will be shown on display for a

few seconds.

Digital Input

Select this setting to play digital signals from a DVD,

CD, LD player, SAT or TV.

sette deck, VCR or turntable.

Advanced Sound Control

Fine Setting of the Speakers

This receiver supports a wide range of speakers and

subwoofers. For optimal surround sound enjoyment,

you need to register the speaker selection settings of

your audio system. If you buy this receiver with

accompanied speaker package, then this step has

been done for you.

Also, to make the surround sound more effective and

suit the acoustic conditions in your listening room,

you need to delay the signal from some of the speak-

ers. Such channel delay compensates for center or

surround speakers that are closer to listening position

than the front speakers. You can make use of the

TEST/ SET UP button to adjust the speakers’ relative

loudness.

The TEST/ SET UP button

You can adjust the relative loudness of the individual

speakers by TEST/ SET UP button. In Dolby modes,

press the button briefly. A short noise will be heard

in the speakers one by one. The speaker having the

noise at that moment will be shown in the display.

You can listen to that speaker and rotate the MULTI

JOG to adjust the level.

Advanced Setting

Factory defaulted Advance setting indication

from VFD

Speaker Icons

The receiver shows you the speakers’ types and set-

tings on the display with the following icons:

Displaying Program Formats

When a digital source is playing, the receiver will

automatically switch to the proper surround mode

and indicates on the speaker icons on the right-hand

side of the display. (See diagram)

It is important to note, however, that not all Dolby

Digital sources are encoded with the full complement

of five channels plus LFE*. Speaker icons show how

many and which speaker you have enabled (See “Fine

Setting of the Speakers”) and the letters inside the

speaker icons show which channel is present in the

source information. For example, the diagram shown

means you have all the five speakers and subwoofer

enabled and the digital sources you played have five

channels plus LFE complemented.

* LFE stands for Low Frequency Effect. The indication

“LFE” appears if the digital source contains LFE infor-

mation. In this case, the bass signal will be delivered

to the subwoofer, offering more dynamic deep bass

sound effects. If the letter is flashing, the signal is

either too weak or just gone.
