We recommend using different modes for different types of
DTS material. For watching movies, the THX or ADVANCED

to music, the STANDARD, DIRECT, STEREO, or DSP modes
should serve the listener best.

VSX-908TX and VSX-D908TX-G models:
When playing LD recorded in Dolby Digital
When connecting a DVD/LD or LD player using the AC-3 RF
output, a commercially available RF demodulator (RFD-1) is
required. The RF demodulator changes the RF signal to a digital
signal which is then processed by the receiver at the digital
input jacks. For more details, refer to the instruction manual
supplied with the RFD-1 (see p.11).
Refer to pages 76-78 for explanations of Dolby Digital, Dolby
Pro Logic, DTS, and MPEG (VSX-D938TX only).
VSX-D938TX model:
Make sure you connect your DVD/LD or LD players using the
AC-3 RF jack. If your player has an AC-3 RF output, this will
ensure you can use all LD players. Refer to page 10, 11 and 37.
