CONNECTIONS
Although, the RSDX-02’s rear panel looks
daunting, connecting the unit to your system
is straightforward.
There are connections for each of the five
speakers in a 5.1 channel surround system.
In addition, a subwoofer output is provided
for connecting an optional powered subwoofer.
Each of the video source components (VCR,
TV set-top box etc.) is connected to the
RSDX-02e inputs with a SCART cable carrying all of the video and analog audio signals
and an optional digital audio cable (coax or
optical).
The video signal from the RSDX-02e is sent to
the TV monitor using a SCART cable that carries analog audio and video signals (composite,
S-Video, and RGB).
An analog tape deck, CD player, or CD recorder is connected with standard RCA analog audio cables and/or digital audio cables
(coax or optical).
The supplied AM and FM antennae are connected to the antenna inputs.
Finally, the AC power cord is plugged into the
back panel of the RSDX-02e and then into an
AC wall outlet.
Notes on connections
There are many ways to configure and hookup a surround sound audio system. It is not
possible to cover every configuration in this
manual; therefore, we describe the typical
connections that will work well in a majority
of situations.
The following topics cover a variety of issues
that you might consider when deciding how
to configure your system.
NOTE
: Do not plug any system component
into an AC source until all connections have
been properly made.
Cable selection
Use standard audio cables with RCA connectors for analog audio connections. Use the
following color code:
Left channel audio: white
Right channel audio: red
Standard SCART cables carry analog audio
signals from all video components.
Use standard optical digital cables for optical digital signals. Be sure to remove the protective covers from the back-panel jacks and/
or from the ends of the cable. Use 75 ohm
digital audio cables with an RCA connector
on each end for coax digital audio.
Coax digital: orange
NOTE
: You can substitute a 75 ohm video cable
for a coax digital cable, but do not substitute
conventional audio interconnect cables for
digital signals.
When making signal connections, follow the
color codes carefully at both ends of each cable.
Video Connections
There are SCART connections for two video
components (VCR and STB set-top tuner) plus
a SCART connector to connect the RSDX-02e
to the TV monitor.
In addition to left/right analog audio signals,
these SCART connectors can carry three types
of video signals composite video (good quality), S-Video (better quality), and RGB video
(best quality) as follows:
Output to TV: composite, S-Video, RGB
Input from TV: composite video only
Output to VCR: composite video only
Input from VCR: composite, S-Video, RGB
Input from STB: composite, S-Video, RGB
The RSDX-02e cannot convert one type of video
to another; therefore, if you use one type of
video signal for a source component, you must
also use the same type of connection to the
TV set.
To simply system configuration, determine which
type of video connection is available on
of your source components and then use that
type for every connection. For example, if
your VCR, cable box, and TV all use composite
video signals, simplify your system by using
composite video connections everywhere.
NOTE
: You must select either RGB or Y-C (S-
Video), but not both for the output to the TV
monitor using a back panel switch. Also, you
may need to configure your TV monitor to
accept the appropriate type of signal.
all
Digital Audio
Surround sound formats like Dolby Digital, DTS,
LPCM, and MP3 are digital recordings. The
RSDX-02e can only decode them when a digital
input signal is available from the source component. A digital signal is automatically available from the built-in DVD player so that you
can enjoy 5.1 channel sound from Dolby Digital
and DTS encoded discs. In addition, the
RSDX-02e provides connections for digital
signals from two more components, one using a digital coax cable and one using an
optical digital cable.
These digital inputs should be used for any
other components that can deliver a Dolby
Digital signal, such as HDTV receivers, DSB
satellite receivers, or digital cable boxes. You
might also use a digital connection for a CD
player/recorder.
The RSDX-02e has an optical digital output to
send the digital signal from any of the digital
inputs to a digital recorder. When a digital
input source signal is selected for listening, that
signal is automatically sent to the optical digital
output for recording.
NOTE
: When using digital connections, you
may also want to make the corresponding
analog audio input connections.

Making Connections
Connecting Speakers
See Figure 3
The RSDX-02e has built-in amplifiers to power
all five speakers in a 5.1 surround sound audio system: right/left front speakers, center
channel speaker, and right/left surround speakers. There are five pairs of binding post connections (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 negative. 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 terminal of each speaker to the red speaker terminal on the RSDX-02e and the negative
speaker terminal to the corresponding black
connector on the RSDX-02e.
Route the wires from the RSDX-02e to the speakers. Leave enough slack so you can move the
components to allow access to the speaker connectors. If you are using banana plugs, connect 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 attaching bare wires directly to the binding posts,
separate the wire conductors and strip back
the insulation from the end of each conductor. 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 binding 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 binding 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-02e for the size
and style of speakers in your system and calibrate the relative volume levels of the speakers using the built-in test tones. See the Setup
section of this manual.
Connecting a Subwoofer
See Figure 3
To hook up a powered subwoofer, connect a
standard RCA audio cable from the SUBWOOFER OUT jack on the back panel of the
RSDX-02e to the RCA input on the subwoofer’s
power amp.
After you have connected the subwoofer, you
need to configure the RSDX-02e to use the subwoofer 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
Connect the RSDX-02e to your TV set with a
SCART cable.
Select the appropriate input and video format
on the TV to view the picture from the RSDX-02e.
NOTE
: Unless you intend to use a composite
video input on the TV, you must configure the
RSDX-02e for operation with either an RGB
or Y-C video signal. See the following section.
Setting the RGB/Y-C Switch
See Figure 1
The RSDX-02e can output three different types
of video signals to the TV monitor: composite, Y-C (S-Video), and RGB. You must set the
back-panel switch on the RSDX-02e to the
correct position for the desired type of video
signal. Put the switch in the RGB (left) position
for use with RGB or composite video inputs
on the TV. Put the switch int he Y-C (right) position
for use Y-C inputs on the TV.
NOTE
: Do not change the switch when the
RSDX-02e is turned on. The unit must be unplugged, or in standby mode before the
change will take effect.
Connecting an STB Set-top Box
See Figure 6
This section describes the hook-up of advanced
HDTV set-top boxes, digital/HDTV cable boxes,
and STB satellite receivers.
Connect the output of the STB receiver to the
STB connector
SCART cable. This cable can carry composite, S-Video, or RGB video signals as well as
left/right stereo analog audio signals.
Digital Audio connection:
If your set-top box has a digital audio output,
you should connect it to the RSDX-02e for playback of Dolby Digital or other digital broadcasts.
1. If the set-top box has a coax digital output, connect it to the DIGITAL 1 (STB) in-
on the RSDX-02e using a coax digital

See Figure 8
The RSDX-02e includes a plastic loop antenna
to receive AM radio signals. Remove this
antenna from the box and locate it near the
RSDX-02e. It can be tacked to a wall, using
the mounting tab provided. Alternatively, you
can fold the center portion of the antenna to
form a tabletop stand.
Connect the 300 ohm twin-conductor wire from
the loop antenna to the push terminals labeled
AM LOOP, attaching one wire to each terminal. It does not matter which wire attaches to
which terminal, but make sure that the connections are solid and that the two wires do
not touch.
You may need to rotate or otherwise reorient
the antenna to find the best position.
NOTE
: To use an outdoor antenna, connect its
300 ohm twin-conductor wire to the terminals in place of the loop antenna.
FM Antenna
See Figure 9
The RSDX-02e is supplied with a T-shaped indoor FM antenna. Connect the coax F-type plug
to the FM antenna connector on the RSDX-02e.
For best reception, unfold the T-shaped antenna.
Eyelets at both ends of the T allow tacking the
antenna to a wall, if desired. Experiment with
positioning for best reception.
NOTE
: To use an outdoor antenna, connect its
75 ohm coax lead wire to the FM connector
instead of the indoor wire antenna, only after a professional contractor has installed the
antenna system in accordance with local electrical codes.
AC Input
Your RSDX-02e is configured at the factory for
the proper AC line voltage in the country where
you purchased it (USA: 115 volts/60Hz AC
or CE: 230 volts /50 Hz AC ). The AC line
configuration is noted on a decal on the back
of your unit.
Plug the supplied cord into the AC INPUT
receptacle on the back of the unit. Then, plug

or Analog Inputs
A digital source component can be connected
to the RSDX-02e using either for digital or analog cables, allowing the selection of the digital or analog signal for an input. There are
two available modes:
DIGITAL AUTO: The selection of digital or
analog inputs is automatic. If a digital signal
is available for the selected input, the RSDX-02e
uses it. If a digital signal is not available, the
RSDX-02e will use the analog signal.
ANALOG: The RSDX-02e uses the analog
signal, even if a digital signal is available.
By default, all of the inputs (except the DVD
input) are set at the factory for the ANALOG
mode. To change the mode:
1. Select the desired input by pressing an
INPUT select button on the front panel or
remote.
2. Press the INPUT AG/DG button on the front
panel or ANG/DIG command on Page 6
of the remote control to change the mode.
The selected mode, either ANALOG or
DGTL AUTO is shown in the front panel
display.
NOTE
: The built-in DVD input always uses digi-
tal signals and cannot be changed. This setting is memorized independently for all other
digital inputs.
Selecting the Digital Signal
P6-D
When the DIGITAL AUTO mode is selected
and a digital signal is detected, one of four
indicators appears in the display, depending
on the type of digital signal being received:
DOLBY DIGITAL: Dolby Digital signal is being
received.
DTS: DTS signal is being received.
LPCM: Linear PCM signal (such as a CD) is
being received.
PPCM: DVD AUDIO Packed PCM digital signal is being received.
In almost all cases, the correct type of digital
signal is detected and decoded automatically

To reduce the input level of an analog input:
1. Select the desired analog input.
2. Press and hold the AG/DG button (front
panel only), to toggle between no attenuation (ATT NORMAL appears in the display) and attenuation on (ATT ON appears
in the display).
NOTE
: This setting must be made individually
for each analog input and is memorized as a
permanent setting.
TV DIRECT Mode
The TV DIRECT feature allows bypassing the
audio features of the RSDX-02e and send video
signals directly to the TV set when you prefer
to use the TV’s built-in speakers. In the TV DIRECT mode, the RSDX-02e functions as a simple
DVD player and video switcher. The amplifiers and all surround processing is bypassed.
Signals from the DVD player, an STB receiver,
or a VCR can be sent to the TV.
NOTE
: TV Direct mode is only available for
components connected with SCART cables.
To activate the TV Direct mode, press
the TV DIRECT button on the front panel or on
page 6 of the remore. Then, select a source
input (DVD, STB, or VCR).
To cancel TV Direct mode and return
to the normal operation of the
RSDX-02e, press the TV DIRECT button again.
To cancel TV Direct mode and put the
RSDX-02e in standby mode, press the
STANDBY or POWER buttons on the front panel
or remote.

NOTE
: The TV Direct mode can be used with
the Auto Power mode for automatic playback
simply by turning on a video component. See
the Comprehensive Setup section for details.
Record Mode
Any analog input is available for recording
at the CDR/TAPE or VCR analog outputs.
However, these are 2-channel stereo outputs
that cannot record a multi-channel digital
source. The RSDX-02e has a special RECORD
MODE that downmixes multichannel inputs,
combining all of the channels into a 2-channel signal for recording.
To activate the RECORD MODE, press and hold
the REC MODE button (front panel only), to
toggle between RECORD MODE ON and
RECORD MODE OFF (normal mode) as shown
in the front panel display.
With RECORD MODE ON, only the front speakers are active and surround sound is disabled.
None of the surround sound settings are available. In addition, RECORD MODE ON prevents
the volume display, normally shown on the TV
monitor, from being recorded by the VCR.
NOTE
: This setting automatically reverts to the
normal RECORD MODE OFF setting when a
different source input is selected or when the
RSDX-02e is turned off.
Surround Modes
To get the best performance from your
RSDX-02e, it helps to understand the surround
sound formats available today, to know which
decoding process to use for a particular recording, and how to select it. This section provides basic background information about surround sound formats. The following sections
provide detailed operating instructions for
automatic and manual selection of surround
modes.
Dolby Surround Dolby Pro Logic II
The most widely available surround sound format for consumer audio/video is Dolby Sur-
®
, available on nearly all commercial VHS
round
tapes, many television broadcasts, and most
DVDs. It is a matrix-encoding system that records
front left, front center, front right, and a mono
surround channel into a 2-channel stereo re-
cording. During playback, a Dolby Pro Logic
or Pro Logic II decoder extracts each channel
and distributes it to the appropriate speakers.
Dolby Pro Logic II decoding should be used
for any analog recording labeled “Dolby Surround” or any Dolby Digital 2.0 soundtrack.
A “music mode” makes Pro Logic II an excellent choice for audio CDs.
Dolby Pro Logic Cinema or Music
modes can be selected for ANY 2-channel recording, analog or digital.
Dolby Digital
Dolby Digital is the standard audio format for
DVDs and for digital television broadcasting
in the United States.
A Dolby Digital 2.0 soundtrack is a digital 2channel recording of a matrix encoded Dolby
Surround soundtrack. To play a Dolby Digital 2.0 recording, use Dolby Pro Logic II decoding as previously described.
A Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack has six discrete channels: front left, front center, front right,
surround left, surround right, and a Low Frequency Effects (LFE) channel containing bass
signals intended for a subwoofer.
Decoding of Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtracks is automatic.
NOTE
: Many DVDs have a Dolby Digital 2.0
matrix soundtrack as the default. The Dolby
Digital 5.1 soundtrack may have to be selected as an option from the setup menus at
the beginning of the DVD.
DTS 5.1
DTS® (Digital Theater Systems) is an alternative digital format competing with Dolby Digital
in both movie theaters and home theater
markets. The basic functions of the DTS system are similar to those of Dolby Digital (for
example, 5.1 discrete channels), however the
technical details of the compression and decoding processes differ somewhat.
Like Dolby Digital, DTS can only be used on
a digital recording and, therefore, is only
available for home use on LaserDiscs, DVDs,
or other digital formats.
Detection and proper decoding of DTS
5.1 signals is automatic.
®
RSDX-02e DVD Receiver
22
NOTE
: DVDs with a DTS soundtrack almost
always have it configured as an option to the
standard matrix Dolby Surround format. To
use DTS, you may have to go to the setup
menus at the beginning of the DVD and select “DTS 5.1” instead of “Dolby Surround”
or “Dolby Digital 5.1”.
All-Channel Stereo
All-Channel stereo sends a stereo signal to fourspeaker or five-speaker systems.
All-Channel stereo can be selected for
any stereo input, analog or digital.
However, this option only available
for systems with 4 or 6 speakers.
DSP
This mode digital processing to synthesize the
ambience of four different concert venues (LIVE
CLUB, DANCE CLUB, HALL, PAVILION) using
only the front and rear speakers, but not the
center channel speaker.
DSP modes can be selected for any
stereo source input, analog or digital.
Surround Off
Turns off all surround sound processing for 2channel stereo. Even if connected, the center
channel and surround speakers are not used.
If the system is configured to route bass signals from the front speakers to the subwoofer,
this capability remains in effect.
Surround Off can be selected for ANY
input source.
Manually Selecting Surround Modes
For users who prefer a more active role in setting
surround modes, buttons on the remote and
the front panel provide manual selection of
surround modes that are not automatically detected or, in some cases, to override an automatic setting.
NOTE
: These settings are memorized indepen-
dently for each source input and will be used
as a default setting each time that source is
used.
Surround Sound On/Off
Press the SURROUND ON/OFF button on the
front panel or the S-ON/OFF button on Page

SETUP
The RSDX-02e must be configured before use.
Some of the settings are essential for proper
operation and best performance. Others are
optional settings to maximize the convenience
of the system or tailor operation for individual
preferences.
The RSDX-02e has three groups of setup or
adjustment procedures:
1. Quick Setup: Simplified procedure for
the most important basic speaker settings
2. Comprehensive Setup: More detailed
group of settings allowing more precision
for the basic settings than the Quick Setup.
3. Sound adjustments: A group of audio
related adjustments such as speaker levels, balance, tone, etc.
4. Choice Menus: On-Screen Menu system
with additional features and options.
For the easiest basic setup, complete the Quick
Setup procedure before using the RSDX-02e.
Later, you can return to the Comprehensive
Setup options and further customize your system. Or, experienced users can skip the Quick
Setup and complete the entire Comprehensive
Setup right away. The Choice Menus provide
additional settings to customize the system and
a menu-driven alternative to some of the Comprehensive Setup settings.
Quick Setup
The Quick Setup provides a simplified setup
procedure for the most basic system settings
including the number and size of speakers in
the system, their distance from the listener, and
whether the system has a subwoofer. Quick
Setup should be completed after all connections are made, but before the system is used.
NOTE
: Quick Setup must be done using only
the front panel buttons.
To begin the Quick Setup:
1. Press the SETTING button on the front panel.

Setup Procedure
The Comprehensive Setup uses the front panel
control buttons and the front panel display and
cannot be done from the remote control except where noted.
To begin the Comprehensive Setup:
1. Press the SETTING button on the front panel.
The first adjustment item appears in the front

Speaker Settings (FRNT SP, CNTR SP, SURR SP)
The next three items configure the front speakers, center speaker, and surround speakers
in the system.
For each type of speaker, use the CONTROL
buttons to choose one of three options:
• LRG: Select the LARGE setting if the
speaker(s) for this item are capable of reproducing deep bass.
• SML: Select the SMALL setting to redirect
the deep bass from the speaker(s) for this
item to a powered subwoofer or to large
speakers in the system.
• NO: Select this setting if you do not have
speaker(s) for this item in the system. For
example, if you do not have surround
speakers, select NO for the SURR SP item.
NOTE
: The NO option is not available for the
front speakers. If you have previously selected
NO for the subwoofer, the front speakers are
automatically set to LARGE.
In the vast majority of systems with a powered
subwoofer, all speakers should be set to SMALL
so that their deep bass is redirected to the
subwoofer. This will almost always result in
better overall bass performance and a system
that will play louder and cleaner, even when
the front speakers are physically large.
Delay Settings (FRNT D, CNTR D, SURR D)
The next three items set the length of digital delay
for each type of speaker so that the sound from
all speakers arrives at your ear simultaneously.
Thus, speakers that are closer to you need longer
delay than speakers that are farther away.
The actual delay times are calculated by the
RSDX-02e. All you have to do is measure the
distance from your listening position to each
group of speakers and enter the setting here.
There are separate settings for front speakers,
center channel speaker, and surround speakers.
• For each type of speaker, use the CON-
TROL

1 ft. to 30 ft. in 1 foot increments.

Crossover Frequency Setting (CROSS)
The deep bass intended for any speaker configured as SMALL is redirected to the powered
subwoofer or to LARGE speakers based on
the settings of the digital crossover in the
RSDX-02e. This item determines the crossover
frequency. Bass below the crossover frequency
is redirected; sounds above the crossover frequency are sent to the original speaker. One
crossover frequency is used for the entire system. Use the CONTROL
lect one of three crossover frequencies:
• 80Hz: Select this setting for an 80Hz cross-
over frequency.
• 100Hz: Select this setting for an 100Hz
crossover frequency.
• 120Hz: Select this setting for a 120Hz
crossover frequency.
The selection of a crossover point is largely
determined by the capabilities of your speakers.
Lower crossover points may improve blending of the subwoofer to the rest of the system.
Higher crossover points will increase the power
handling of the speakers and the ability of the
system to play loudly without less distortion.
As a starting point, we recommend the 80Hz
crossover if all of your speakers have a woofer
size of 6 inches or larger. Try the 100 Hz crossover point if your smallest speakers have 5 inch
woofers. If any of your speakers have a woofer
of 4 inches or smaller, the 125Hz crossover will
probably be the best choice. The audible differences in the three crossover points will be subtle.
NOTE
: If you have previously configured all of
buttons to se-
your speakers as LARGE, the crossover frequency item will not appear.
LFE Attenuation Setting (LFE)
Dolby Digital and DTS recordings have a
special Low Frequency Effects channel used
exclusively for low bass and typically reproduced by a subwoofer. When played at its
standard level, this bass channel can place
great demands on a system. This setting gives
you the ability to reduce the level of the LFE
channel if you hear bass distortion. Use the
CONTROL
settings:
buttons to select one of two
• 0dB: The normal setting, reproduces the
LFE channel at its full level.
• –10dB: Reduces the level of the LFE channel
by 10 decibels.
NOTE
: The LFE attenuation setting has no ef-
fect with any input signal other than Dolby
Digital or DTS.
As a general recommendation, start with the
setting at 0dB (the factory default). If you hear
bass distortion during loud passages in Dolby
Digital or DTS soundtracks, try the –10dB
setting. The need for the LFE attenuation will
be more likely in less capable systems or systems without a subwoofer.
Dynamic Range Compression (D.COMP)
Dolby Digital recordings are capable of wide
dynamic range (the difference between the softest and loudest sounds). In some cases, this
may tax amplifiers and/or speakers. In other
cases, you may want to reduce the dynamic
range when listening at low volume levels.
Use the CONTROL
of three dynamic range settings:
• MID: slightly reduced dynamic range,
roughly comparable to the signal from a
compact disc
• MAX: more heavily reduced dynamic
range, but still comparable to the signal
from a typical VHS Hi-Fi recording.
• OFF: full dynamic range; no compression
NOTE
: The Dynamic Range Compression fea-
ture ONLY affects Dolby Digital signals.
As a guideline, try the OFF setting for maximum performance with capable speaker systems. If you hear distortion or regularly reduce
the volume because loud action scenes are
too loud, try one of the other settings. By using dynamic range compression, you can
increase the overall volume level to better hear
dialog without the loudest action scenes being quite so loud.
