The default setting is STEREO.

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

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

memo	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.
