Pioneer VSX-49TX Owner's Manual - Page 49

Basic Operation Stereo and Multichannel Playback The following instructions show you how to play Dolby Digital or DTS sound sources with the VSX-49TX. Before doing so be sure to complete the setup procedures described in the Quick Start Guide (starting on page 16) or "Setting Up for Surround Sound" (starting on p.40). This is particularly important to achieve a surround sound effect with Dolby Digital or DTS sources. Further adjustments are needed when an i.LINK-equipped component is connected (see p.95). Listening Modes available to you are contingent on what kind of source you are using and what LISTENING CH SELECT (7.1/5.1/AUTO) option you choose. For background information on these ideas see page 12 (Home Theater: The Basics) and for more information of the listening modes and their uses see pages 52-55. Be sure to select speaker A or if you are bi-amping the front speakers select A&B (see p.77). 4 LIGHT RECEIVER DVD/LD VCR1 /DVR VCR2 VCR3 TV REMOTE SETUP CD CD-R/ TAPE1 TUNER VIDEO SAT TV CONTROL use lock TV CONTROL FUNCTION CH + CH - VOL + VOL - FUNCTION 1 Turn on the power of the playback component. 2 Press the POWER ON/OFF 3 button to turn on the receiver.
