Playing Sources with Dolby Digital or DTS Sound
The following instructions show you how to play Dolby Digital or DTS sound sources with the VSX-D908S.
1
Turn on the receiver.
2
Use the MULTI CONTROL buttons or the FUNCTION
button on the remote control, or the INPUT
SELECTOR dial on the front panel to select 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 POINEER. For all other makers you need to setup the remote
specifically to control your component (See p. 50).
3
Choose a
2
surround/dts mode by pressing
ADVANCED THEATER or STANDARD.
(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 (To
select DIGITAL).
(See “Switching ANALOG/DIGITAL signal input” on p. 40.)
5
Play a source (for example, a DVD player).
6
Adjust the volume by using the MASTER VOLUME
buttons on 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 ADVANCED THEATER
setting should provide the best results. For listening to music,
the STANDARD, DIRECT, STEREO, or DSP modes should serve
the listener best.
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 (See p.11).
Refer to pages 77, 78 for explanations of Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic, and DTS.
