Before you make connections to other devices, you must
turn down the volume of all devices and turn off their power
to prevent malfunctions or damage to your speakers.

1.

Switch off the RK-300 and the television you’ll be
connecting (p. 33).

2.

Connect the RK-300 to your television, use a video
cable (commercially available) to connect the RK-
300’s VIDEO OUTPUT jack to the television.

3.

Switch on the RK-300 (p. 33).

4.

Switch on your television.

5.

Set to “Video” at “Selecting the Video Output
Destination” (p. 40).

6.

(As necessary) Specify the television output format
(p. 175).

7.

Specify the aspect ratio (ratio between width and
height) for your television (p. 176).

The aspect ratio is the proportional relationship between
the width and height of the screen. The RK-300’s screen
has an aspect ratio of 16:9. Televisions can have an aspect
ratio of either 4:3 or 16:9 (wide screen).

There are small areas at the left and right of the screen
that do not show an image; this is due to the design of
the RK-300.
