Listening in DVD 5.1 Channel Input Mode
Some DVD players feature a built-in Dolby Digital decoder with separate analogue audio outputs for the front left
and right, centre, surround left and right, and sub-woofer channels. Connect these to the 5.1 channel inputs of
the VSX–409RDS for enhanced playback of Dolby Digital material—see page 9 for instructions on connecting
up.5.1 channel mode of the VSX–409RDS provides better surround-channel sound and overall channel
separation than the Dolby Pro Logic mode.
Follow the steps below to use the 5.1 channel mode.
