RSDX-02 DVD Receiver

Making Connections

Connecting Speakers

See Figure 3

The RSDX-02 has built-in amplifiers to power

all five speakers in a 5.1 surround sound au-

dio system: right/left front speakers, center

channel speaker, and right/left surround speak-

ers. There are five pairs of binding post con-

nections (one pair for each speaker) which

accept bare wire, spade lugs, or banana plug

connectors (in some markets).

NOTE

: Speakers should have an impedance

of 8 ohms or higher.

Each pair of connectors is color-coded for

polarity: red for positive and black for nega-

tive. Speakers and speaker wire are also

marked for polarity. For proper performance,

you must observe this polarity at all speaker

connections. Always connect the positive ter-

minal of each speaker to the red speaker ter-

minal on the RSDX-02 and the negative speaker

terminal to the corresponding black connec-

tor on the RSDX-02.

Route the wires from the RSDX-02 to the speak-

ers. Leave enough slack so you can move the

components to allow access to the speaker con-

nectors. If you are using banana plugs, con-

nect them to the wires and then plug into the

backs of the binding posts. The collars of the

binding posts should be screwed in all the way

(clockwise). If you are using terminal lugs,

connect them to the wires. If you are attach-

ing bare wires directly to the binding posts,

separate the wire conductors and strip back

the insulation from the end of each conduc-

tor. Be careful not to cut into the wire strands.

Unscrew the binding post collars. Place the

connector lug around the binding post shaft

or the bare wire through the hole in the bind-

ing post. Turn the collar clockwise to clamp

the connector lug or wire firmly in place.

1. Connect the front right speaker to binding

posts labeled FRONT SPEAKER RIGHT.

2. Connect the front left speaker to binding

posts labeled FRONT SPEAKER LEFT.

3. Connect the center channel speaker to

binding posts labeled CENTER SPEAKER.

4. Connect the surround right speaker to bind-

ing posts labeled SURROUND SPEAKER

RIGHT.

5. Connect the surround left speaker to binding

posts labeled SURROUND SPEAKER LEFT.

NOTE

: Be sure that no loose wire strands can

touch adjacent wires or connectors.

After you have connected the speakers, you

need to configure the RSDX-02 for the size and

style of speakers in your system and calibrate

the relative volume levels of the speakers us-

ing the built-in test tones. See the Setup sec-

tion of this manual.

Connecting a Subwoofer

See Figure 3

To hook up a powered subwoofer, connect a

standard RCA audio cable from the SUB-

WOOFER OUT jack on the back panel of the

RSDX-02 to the RCA input on the subwoofer’s

power amp.

After you have connected the subwoofer, you

need to configure the RSDX-02 to use the sub-

woofer and calibrate the relative volume level

of the subwoofer using the built-in test tones.

See the Setup section of this manual.

Connecting the TV Monitor

See Figure 4

You can connect the RSDX-02 to your TV set

with one or more of the following types of video

connection: composite video, S-Video, and/

or component video cables.

1. For composite video output, connect the

composite MONITOR OUT jack

on the

back of the RSDX-02 to a composite video

input on the TV.

2. For S-Video output, connect the S-Video

MONITOR OUT jack

on the back of

the RSDX-02 to an S-Video video input on

the TV.

3. For component video output, connect the

three component DVD COMPONENT

VIDEO OUT jacks

on the back of the

RSDX-02 to the corresponding jacks of the

component video input on the TV.

Select the appropriate input on the TV to view

the picture from the RSDX-02.

NOTE

: You must configure the RSDX-02 for

operation with either an NTSC or PAL stan-

dard TV. See the following section.

Setting the PAL/NTSC Switch

See Figure 1

Various regions of the world use two differ-

ent video standards. The US and Japan use

the NTSC video standard; European countries

use the PAL standard. The output of the RSDX-02

must

be set to match the standard your TV

accepts. Put the switch in the

left

position for

use with PAL TVs. Put it in the

right

position

for the use with NTSC TVs.

NOTE

: Do not change the PAL/NTSC switch

when the RSDX-02 is turned on. The unit must

be unplugged, or in standby mode when

changing the setting.

This setting relates to the hardware configu-

ration of your TV set and other components.

Regardless of the setting, the RSDX-02 can play

DVD discs encoded in either PAL or NTSC

formats, converting the signal to the output

selected with the NTSC/PAL switch.

Connecting a Cable, Satellite,

or HDTV Set-top Box

See Figure 5

This section describes the hook-up of advanced

HDTV set-top boxes, digital/HDTV cable boxes,

and DBS satellite receivers. Older style cable

boxes that are connected with RF antenna

cables are connected directly to the TV, not

to the RSDX-02.

Video connections:

Your set-top box may have composite video

or S-Video outputs. Choose whichever type

of connection is appropriate for your system,

keeping in mind that there must be a corre-

sponding connection of the same type from

the RSDX-02 to the TV.

1. For composite video, connect a compos-

ite video cable from the video output of

the set-top box to the DBS IN VIDEO input

on the RSDX-02.

2. For S-Video, connect an S-Video cable from

the video output of the set-top box to the

DBS IN S-VIDEO input

on the RSDX-02.

3. For component video HDTV signals, con-

nect three component video cables from

the video output of the set-top box directly

to a corresponding input on the TV.
