Listening in Surround Sound

Listening in Dolby Pro Logic Mode

To really appreciate what the VSX-409RDS can do, sit back and experience a movie encoded in Dolby Digital or
Dolby Pro Logic with five speaker surround sound creating theater-like sound effects in your living room. When
choosing software, look out for the
(sometimes, unmarked software is also recorded in Dolby Pro Logic).
To enjoy Dolby Digital surround sound from DVD discs, you'll need to have connected your DVD player (or Dolby
Digital decoder) to the receiver's 5.1 channel inputs (see page 9), and set the receiver to DVD 5.1 CH input
mode.
Many video tapes feature Dolby Surround/Pro Logic these days. The VSX-409RDS takes advantage of this to
provide dramatic and realistic surround sound. The effect can be further enhanced by choosing a Pro Logic with
DSP mode. Follow the steps on this page when playing Dolby Surround or Dolby Pro Logic material.
When using any of these modes, it's really important that your speakers are set up correctly (see p.11-12), and
that you've worked through the steps in Setting Up for Surround Sound on pages 13-15.
