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.
