Surround Sound Set Up

On Screen Display

There are a number of possible ways to hook up the receiver to your video components like a DVD player and hook up to your receiver to your TV, but some of them will not allow you to use the on-screen display of this unit. To avoid this one simply needs to follow two rules.

1Always use the same type of video cords to hook up your video components to the receiver as you use to hook up the receiver and your TV. For example, if you use composite video cords to hook up your DVD and the receiver, use composite video cords to hook up the receiver to your TV. If you use S video cords to hook up your DVD and the receiver, use S video cords to hook up the receiver to your TV.

2Always make sure your TV is set to the appropriate input channel on your TV (for example, video 1). Your TV may have a number of input channels and if you do not select the proper one you will not be able to use this receiver’s on-screen display. If you are unsure how to choose an input channel for your TV, refer to the manual which came with your TV.

You might, for example, use both composite and S video cords to hook up your video component with this receiver and then use composite video cords to hook up this receiver to your TV. This arrangement would still NOT let you see the on screen displays from this receiver on your TV. The best idea is just to use one type of video cord for all your video component and TV hook ups.

Switching video system between PAL and NTSC

This receiver is able to use two types of video systems for its OSD (on screen display) and you need to set the receiver to the type of video system you have, either PAL or NTSC. If you do not match the system on the receiver with your home system no OSD will appear on your TV. People with multi-system TVs, don’t need to worry about changing the setting. If necessary, follow the instructions below to switch the type of video system.

wSTANDBY/ON

LOUDNESS

VSX-D938TX

1Put the receiver in STANDBY mode.

2While holding down the LOUDNESS button press the STANDBY/ON button. The video system type, either ”PAL“ on ”NTSC,“ appears in the display. It will be shown for about seven seconds and then the receiver reverts to normal operating mode.

Be careful to press the LOUDNESS button and NOT the DIRECT button, which will accidentally clear all your speaker settings (see warning p.29-30).
