Basic Playback
Playing Sources with Dolby Digital or DTS Sound
The following instructions show you how to play Dolby Digital, DTS sound MPEG Audio (VSX-D938TX only)
sources with the VSX-D938TX/D908TX/D908TX-G.
1
Turn on the receiver.
2
Use the MULTI CONTROL buttons or the FUNCTION
button on the remote control, or the INPUT
SELECTOR dial on the front panel to select the
component (DVD/LD etc.) you want to listen to/
watch.
You can only use this remote to control the component if it’s made
by POINEER. For all other makers you need to setup the remote
specifically to control your component (See p. 54).
3
Choose a 2 surround/dts mode by pressing
ADVANCED THEATER or STANDARD.
(For more details, see “Sound Modes” p. 39-40.)
4
Press SIGNAL SELECT on the remote control or
SIGNAL SELECT on the front panel to select the input
signal corresponding to the source component (VSX-
D938TX can be set to AUTO, while the VSX-D908TX/
D908TX-G should be set to DIGITAL).
(See “Switching ANALOG/DIGITAL signal input” on p. 44.)
5
Play a source (for example, a DVD player).
6
Adjust the volume by using the MASTER VOLUME
buttons on the remote control or the MASTER
VOLUME on the front panel.
We recommend using different modes for different types of
DTS material. For watching movies, the THX or ADVANCED
THEATER setting should provide the best results. For listening
to music, the STANDARD, DIRECT, STEREO, or DSP modes
should serve the listener best.
VSX-908TX and VSX-D908TX-G models:
When playing LD recorded in Dolby Digital
When connecting a DVD/LD or LD player using the AC-3 RF
output, a commercially available RF demodulator (RFD-1) is
required. The RF demodulator changes the RF signal to a digital
signal which is then processed by the receiver at the digital
input jacks. For more details, refer to the instruction manual
supplied with the RFD-1 (see p.11).
Refer to pages 76-78 for explanations of Dolby Digital, Dolby
Pro Logic, DTS, and MPEG (VSX-D938TX only).
VSX-D938TX model:
Make sure you connect your DVD/LD or LD players using the
AC-3 RF jack. If your player has an AC-3 RF output, this will
ensure you can use all LD players. Refer to page 10, 11 and 37.
