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.

Digital In Jacks can accept Dolby Digital (AC-3), DTS (RT2600 only) or PCM signals when compatible components are connected. COAXIAL DIGITAL IN (AUDIO) Connect to coaxial digital output of DVD, CD, SAT or other compatible devices.

Sound Enhancement Systems This receiver is equipped with several built-in sound enhancement systems. 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.
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 / THEATER / CONCERT / CLUB / CHURCH / ARENA) .
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.

Advance Sound Control NOTE • The sub-woofer selection will always be YES when the main speakers are set to small (SML). • For the subwoofer phase setting, it will be affected by how you locate the subwoofer. Try both + and - settings and select the one that has better bass effect.
