Pioneer VSX-47TX Owner's Manual - Page 43

Basic Operation Stereo and Multichannel Playback The following instructions show you how to play Dolby Digital or DTS sound sources with the VSX-47TX. Before doing so be sure to complete the setup procedures described in the Quick Start Guide (starting on page 13) or Setting Up for Surround Sound (starting on page 35). This is particularly important to achieve a surround sound effect with Dolby Digital or DTS sources. Listening modes available to you are contingent on what kind of source you are using and what LISTENING CH SELECT (5.1, 7.1, AUTO) option you choose. For background information on these ideas see page 9 (Home Theater: The Basics) and for more information of the listening modes and their uses see pages 46-49. Be sure to select Speaker system A (see p.71) or A&B if you are bi-amping the front speakers (see p.70).
