When EXTERNAL DECORDER is selected only the volume level and channel levels can be set. All of this unit’s other features (DSP modes. ADVANCED THEATER modes, DIRECT mode, TONE controls, etc.), as well as the TUNER and PHONO modes, cannot be used. Also, all speaker settings and other setup settings have no effect.

96kHz/24bit performance

This receicver is capable of playing back advanced DVD discs which are recorded in 96 kHz/24 bit format (these are all stereo discs). The receiver will automatically read the format of the disc and play accordingly (of course the SIGNAL SELECT will have to set to AUTO (VSX-D938TX only) or DIGITAL to read the DVD soundtrack). When the receiver plays a 96 kHz/24 bit disc “96kHz” appears in the display. If you try to use one of the functions or modes mentioned below “96kHz” will light on the display, as shown below, indicating the procedure is not possible.

When a 96 kHz/24 bit disc is played back, the volume may be louder than that of a normal disc.

Some DVD players cannot play 96 kHz/24 bit discs. Check the manual of your DVD player to make sure.

During this playback, you cannot use the tone controls, the DIRECT function, the LOUDNESS function, any of the sound modes, or any of the effect modes.

With 96 kHz/24 bit discs, you are able to use 5.1 ch playback and the TAPE 2 MONITOR.
