Stereo and Multichannel Playback
The following instructions show you how to play sound sources with the VSX-53TX.
Before doing so be sure to complete the setup procedures described in the “Easy Setup Guide Part 2” (starting on
page 13) or “Setting Up for Surround Sound” (starting on page 36). This is particularly important to achieve a
surround sound effect with Dolby Digital or DTS sources.
1 Turn on the power of the playback
component.
2 Press the STANDBY/ON
button to turn on the
receiver.
Be sure that the STANDBY indicator
turns off on the front panel.
3 Press the MULTI CONTROL (or INPUT)
on the remote control to select the
source you want to playback.
Choose the type of signal input with the SIGNAL SELECT
button.
See the next page for more details, if necessary.
4 Choose a LISTENING MODE one of
two ways.
For SURROUND modes: press MOVIE or MUSIC, use the
buttons to select the mode you want and press
ENTER.
For STEREO/DIRECT: press the button for that mode.
On the front panel, use the MOVIE or MUSIC buttons and
the MULTI JOG dial. Press the button of the mode type
you want and then use the dial to cycle through the possi-
bilities. Press ENTER.
See “MOVIE modes” (page 46) or “MUSIC modes” (page
47) for details on which modes are available and in which
situations they are designed to be used.
When playing source signals greater than 88.2kHz over a
digital connection, MOVIE/MUSIC modes cannot be
selected.
5 Start playback of the component you
selected in step 3.
6 Adjust the volume by using the
MASTER VOLUME buttons on the
remote control. On the front panel
use the MASTER VOLUME dial.
