Operating range of remote control unit The area in which you can use the remote control to operate the VSX-39TX is fairly large. To use, point the remote control toward the remote sensor on the front panel of this unit while within the range shown right. -
Page 12: Connecting Your Equipment
Connecting Your Equipment Audio Components To begin set up connect your audio components to the jacks as shown below. These are all analog connections and your analog audio components (turntable, cassette deck) use these jacks. Remember that for components you want to record with you need to hook up four plugs (a set of stereo ins and a set of stereo outs), but for components that only play (like a turntable) you only need to hook up one set of stereo plugs (two plugs). -

(for example, the coaxial out from the component to coaxial in on the receiver). The VSX-39TX has two coaxial and three optical inputs for a total of five digital inputs. -
Page 14: Example Connection For A Dvd/Ld Or Ld Player
You will notice that Digital IN 1, for example, is a coaxial jack. If your DVD/LD player only has an optical out jack on it then you won't be able to hook up your components in accordance with the VSX-39TX's default setting. -
Page 15: Video Components
These jacks are labeled by the Japanese designation "S2" on the VSX-39TX but they are simply S-video jacks. However, if you use S-video cords for your video hook ups you must also hook up your TV with S-video connections. -

Page 39: Crossover Network
CROSSOVER NETWORK The following steps show you how to adjust the crossover network. The crossover network is the frequency at which the system divides the signal and sends the different parts (high, mid, low) to different speakers. Speaking precisely, this setting sets the cutoff point for the bass frequencies rerouted from your SMALL speakers to your subwoofer or speaker set to LARGE. -
Page 40: Bass Peak Level Manager
Initial Set Up BASS PEAK LEVEL MANAGER The LFE (Low Frequency Effect) channel in Dolby Digital, DTS program sources can produce heavily concentrated ultra-low bass tones that may exceed the capabilities of your speaker system. The following steps show you how to set the peak level for the ultra-low bass (LFE) channel. If continuing from CROSSOVER NETWORK go to step 1. -
Page 41: Dynamic Range Control
DYNAMIC RANGE CONTROL This feature makes it possible to enjoy full surround sound effects on Dolby Digital sources even at low volumes. It does this by compressing the dynamic range. Dynamic range is the difference between the loudest and the softest sounds in any given signal. Compressing the range plays sounds so the quieter ones are audible and the louder ones don’t get distorted or become overpowering. -
Page 42: Dual Mono Setting
Initial Set Up DUAL MONO SETTING The dual mono setting can only be used when listening to Dolby Digital discs that have dual mono software encoded in them. Dual mono software usually is used to put two different soundtracks on one DVD. With this setting you can choose which channel in the dual mono setting you want to listen to. -
Page 43: Basic Playback
Basic Playback Sound Modes The five sound modes on the receiver are explained here. These can be turned on from the front panel or from the RECEIVER MAIN SCREEN on the remote control. There are three cinema modes: STANDARD, HOME THX CINEMA, and ADVANCED THEATER. These are designed to be used with multi channel surround sound audio/visual sources (like DVDs and LDs). -
Page 44: Advanced Theater Modes
Basic Playback HOME THX CINEMA modes THX is a set of technical standards created by Lucasfilm, Ltd. These standards were designed to emulate a film sound stage and thus reproduce, with the greatest possible accuracy, the soundtrack intended by the filmmakers. To get THX sound use one the three modes explained below. -
Page 45: Dsp Mode
Use the STEREO mode to enjoy standard (two-channel) stereo sound from the front left and right speakers. This mode is most like the sound reproduction you would get from a regular stereo receiver or amplifier that is not equipped to handled A/V formats as this one is. You might want to use this mode for listening to regular music sources (like CDs) but remember, you will only get sound from your front two speakers (and possibly your subwoofer). -
Page 46: Selecting A Sound Mode
Basic Playback Selecting a Sound Mode To ensure the best possible surround sound, be sure to complete the set up procedures described in “Setting Up for Surround Sound” (starting on page 32) before using the sound modes.
