1 Turn on the receiver.

2 Press the function button of 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 PIONEER. For all other makers you need to setup the remote specifically to control your component (See p. 48).

3 Choose a sound mode by pressing THX, ADVANCED THEATER or STANDARD.

The default setting is STEREO.

(For more see “Sound Modes” p. 36-37.)

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-27TX can be set to AUTO, while the VSX-26TX/24TX should be set to DIGITAL).

(See “Switching ANALOG/DIGITAL signal input” on p. 40.)

5 Play a source (for example, a DVD player).

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.

OPERATION

VSX-26TX and VSX-24TX models :

When playing LD recorded in Dolby Digital

When connecting a DVD/LD player 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.

Refer to pages 72, 73 for explanations of Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic, and DTS.

VSX-27TX 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 LDs. Refer to pages 10, 11 and 34.
