Choosing The Input Signal; Using Stereo/Direct - Pioneer VSX-D412K Operating Instructions Manual

Playing sources
Expanded
This mode is especially designed to give sound
depth to stereo sources. The overall effect
builds a dynamic and broad sound space,
allowing two-channel (stereo) signals to imitate
a five speaker sound. Use with Dolby Pro Logic
for a stereo surround effect. You can also use
with Dolby Digital sources for a wider stereo
field than the Standard modes.
5-Channel Stereo
This can be selected to give multi-channel
sound to a stereo source, using all the speakers
in your setup.

Choosing the input signal

You need to hook up a component to both
analog and digital inputs on the back of the
receiver to select between input signals.

• DVD 5.1 ch is only available when DVD/LD
is selected as the source.
• This receiver can only play back Dolby
Digital, PCM (32kHz, 44kHz, 48kHz, and 96
kHz) and DTS digital signal formats. With
other digital signal formats, set to ANALOG.
• You may get digital noise when a LD or CD
player compatible with DTS is playing an
analog signal. To prevent noise, make the
proper digital connections (page 14) and set
the signal input to DIGITAL.
• Some DVD players don't output DTS
signals. For more details, refer to the
instruction manual supplied with your DVD
player.
• You can only select DIGITAL if the source
you selected is assigned to a digital input.
See page 38 for more on the digital input
settings.

Using Stereo/Direct

When you select STEREO or DIRECT, you will
hear the source through just the front left and
right speakers (and possibly your subwoofer
depending on your speaker settings). Dolby
Digital and DTS multichannel sources are
downmixed to stereo. See the previous page for
more on these modes.
• Press STEREO/DIRECT (STEREO on the
VSX-D412 remote control) repeatedly to
switch between the two options.
If you switch on Midnight listening, Loud-
ness, or the Tone controls when DIRECT is
selected, the receiver automatically switches
to STEREO.
