Listening in stereo
When you select STEREO or DIRECT , you will
hear the source through just the front left and
right speakers (and possibly your subwoofer
depending on your speaker settings). Dolby
Digital and DTS multichannel sources are
downmixed to stereo.
• While listening to a source, press
STEREO/DIRECT for stereo playback.
Press repeatedly to switch between:
• STEREO – The audio is heard with your
surround settings and you can still use
the Midnight, Loudness, and Tone control
functions.
• DIRECT – Bypass all effects and surround
settings so that the audio remains as
close to the source audio signal as
possible.
• If you switch on Midnight listening, Loud-
ness, or the Tone controls when DIRECT is
selected, the receiver automatically
switches to
STEREO .
Choosing the input signal
• Default setting: AUTO
You need to hook up a component to both
analog and digital inputs on the rear of the
receiver to select between input signals.

• Press SIGNAL SELECT on the front
panel to select the input signal corre-
sponding to the source component.
Each press cycles through the options as
follows:
• AUTO – This automatically switches to
DIGITAL if a digital source is detected,
otherwise it remains on ANALOG .
• DVD 5.1ch (VSX-D714/D814 only) –
Selects the multichannel inputs (only
appears when
DVD/LD is selected).
• ANALOG – Selects the analog inputs.
• DIGITAL – Selects the digital input.
When set to DIGITAL or AUTO , 2 DIGITAL
lights when a Dolby Digital signal is input,
and
DTS lights when a DTS signal is input.
• This receiver can only play back Dolby
Digital, PCM (32kHz–96 kHz) and DTS
digital signal formats (however, only the
VSX-D714/D814 can decode DTS 96kHz/
24 bit signal formats). With other digital
signal formats, set to
ANALOG .
• You may get digital noise when a LD or CD
player compatible with DTS is playing an
analog signal. To prevent noise, make the
proper digital connections (page 15) and
set the signal input to
DIGITAL .
• Some DVD players don’t output DTS
signals. For more details, refer to the
instruction manual supplied with your
DVD player.
