Listening to Surround Sound
This receiver was designed with the easiest possible setup in mind, so with the following quick setup guide, you should have your system hooked up for surround sound in no time at all. In most cases, you can simply leave the receiver in the default settings. 1 Hook up your DVD player. For surround sound, youll want to hook up using a digital connection from the DVD player to the receiver. You can do this with either a coaxial, or an optical connection (you dont need to do both). If you hook up using an optical cable, you should refer to Optical digital input setting on page 38 to assign the optical input to DVD. Use a video cord to connect the video output on your DVD to the receiver using the jacks shown below. 2 Hook up your TV. Use a video cord to connect your receiver to the TV using the jacks as shown below.

3 Connect your speakers. A complete setup of six speakers (including the subwoofer) is shown here, but everyones home setup will vary. Simply connect the speakers you have in the manner shown below. The receiver will work with just two stereo speakers (the front speakers in the diagram) but using at least three speakers is recommended, and all six is best. If youre not using a subwoofer, change the front speaker setting (see Speaker setting on page 36) to large. Make sure you connect the speaker on the right to the right terminal and the speaker on the left to the left terminal. Also make sure the positive and negative (+/) terminals on the receiver match those on the speakers.
Use speakers with a nominal impedance of 8 to 16.

Playing sources

Introduction to Sound Modes
There are three basic sound options: Stereo/ Direct, Standard or Advanced Surround.

Pro Logic II Movie

This mode gives 5.1 channel surround sound. It is suitable for movies, especially those recorded in Dolby Surround. The channel separation and movement of surround effects is comparable to Dolby Digital 5.1.

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 multi-channel sources are downmixed to stereo. In STEREO, the audio plays according to the surround setup settings and you can still use Midnight mode, Loudness mode and Tone Control functions. When you select DIRECT, the audio bypasses the tone controls and channel levels for the most accurate reproduction of a source.

Pro Logic II Music

This mode gives 5.1 channel surround sound and is suitable for music. Compared to Pro Logic II Movie, the surround effect is more enveloping.

Advanced Surround modes

These are designed to be used with multi channel surround sound audio/visual sources (like DVDs and LDs). Most Advanced Surround modes are designed to be used with film soundtracks, but some modes are also suited for music sources. Try different settings with various soundtracks to see which you like.

Standard modes

The Standard mode can be used to decode Dolby Digital, DTS or Dolby Surround sources. The surround mode options (below) can also add surround sound to regular stereo sources. You can identify Dolby Digital software by the 1 or marks. Most Dolby Surround software is marked 3, but unmarked software may also incorporate Dolby Surround. Choose one of the following to add depth to a 2 channel source:
Simulates the relaxed environment of a movie theater, and is suitable for watching movies on

Setting up the receiver

Choosing your receiver setup
Even though you may already have your system up and running after using the 5 minute guide on pages 8 to 12, you should also be sure to complete the following set up operations to ensure the best possible surround sound. This is particularly important when using Dolby surround. You only need to make these settings once (unless you change the placement of your current speaker system or add new speakers, etc.). Refer to the following pages for details on each of the settings.
It will be easiest to adjust each of the settings in turn, following the order below (and on the following pages). The current setting is shown for each option as you cycle through the display. Speaker setting (page 36) Specify the number and type of speakers you have connected. Subwoofer setting (page 36) Specify how the subwoofer is used. Crossover frequency setting (page 36) Determine which frequencies will be sent to the subwoofer (or large speakers). LFE attenuator setting (page 37) Specify the peak level for the LFE channel. Front speaker distance setting (page 37) Specify the distance from your listening position to your front speakers. Center speaker distance setting (page 37) Specify the distance from your listening position to your center speaker.

Crossover frequency setting
Default setting: 100 Hz Crossover frequency is the point where the receiver divides the high and low sounds (the frequencies) between the speakers. Since most smaller speakers cant handle deep bass tones, you can send these sounds to the subwoofer (or if you dont have a subwoofer, the large (L) speakers in your system) instead of the speakers set to small (S) in your setup. Choose the point at which you want the frequency routed to the subwoofer (or L speakers). We recommend setting this to 200 Hz if your S speakers are smaller bookshelf-type speakers. Use or to specify the crossover frequency for your small speakers (100 Hz, 150 Hz or 200 Hz).
FS-CS-SS FL-C -SS FL-C -SL FL-CS-S FL-CS-SS FL-CS-SL FS-CS-S FS-C -SS FL-CL-SL FL-CL-SS FL-CL-S
Front speaker distance setting
Default setting: 10 ft. Sets the distance from the front speakers to the listening position. Use or to set the distance of the front speakers from the main listening position (within a 30 foot range).
100 Hz Sends bass frequencies below 100 Hz to the subwoofer (or L speakers). 150 Hz Sends bass frequencies below 150 Hz to the subwoofer (or L speakers). 200 Hz Sends bass frequencies below 200 Hz to the subwoofer (or L speakers).
Center speaker distance setting
Default setting: 10 ft. The center speaker is normally placed directly in the front of the listening room and closer to the listening position than the front speakers. This means that the sound from the center speaker will be heard before the front speakers. To prevent this, set the center speaker distance setting to delay the sound from the center speaker so that the sound from the front and center speakers will be heard at the same time. Use or to set the distance of the center speaker from the main listening position (within a 30 foot range).
If all speakers (front, center, and surround) are set to L, the crossover frequency cant be set because there are no S speakers ( appears in the display).

LFE attenuator setting

Default setting: 0 dB Dolby Digital and DTS audio sources include ultra-low bass tones. Set the LFE attenuator as necessary to prevent the ultra-low bass tones from distorting the sound from the speakers. Use or to set the attenuation level (0 dB, 10 dB or dB()). When C is selected in the speaker setting, the center distance cant be set.
Surround speaker distance setting
Default setting: 10 ft. Like the center speaker, you should set the distance of the surround speakers accurately to hear sounds coming from both front and surround speakers at the same time. Use or to set the distance of the surround speakers from the main listening position (within a 30 foot range).

BAND MPX

High speed tuning Press and hold the tuning buttons ( TUNING (VSX-D412)/ TUNE (VSX-D512) + / ) for high speed tuning. Release the button at the frequency you want.
1 Press the TUNER button on the remote control to select the tuner. 2 Use the BAND button to change the band (FM or AM), if necessary. Each press switches the band between FM and AM.
Tuning directly to a station (VSX-D512 only)
Sometimes, you'll already know the frequency of the station you want to listen to. In this case, you can simply enter the frequency directly using the number buttons on the remote control. 1 Press the TUNER button on the remote control to select the tuner. 2 Use the BAND button to change the band (FM or AM), if necessary. Each press switches the band between FM and AM. 3 Press D.ACCESS (Direct Access).
4 Use the number buttons to enter the frequency of the radio station. For example, to tune to 106.00 (FM), press 1, 0, 6, 0, 0. If you make a mistake halfway through, press D.ACCESS twice to cancel the frequency and start over.
Improving FM stereo sound
If the TUNED or STEREO indicators don't light when tuning to an fm station because the signal is weak, press the MPX button to switch the receiver into mono reception mode. This should improve the sound quality and allow you to enjoy the broadcast.

Saving station presets

If you often listen to a particular radio station, it's convenient to have the receiver store the frequency for easy recall whenever you want to listen to that station. This saves the effort of manually tuning in each time. This unit can memorize up to 30 stations, stored in three banks, or classes, (A, B and C) of 10 stations each. When saving an FM frequency, the MPX setting (see previous page) is also stored. Use the front panel controls to store station presets.
2 If youre using the remote control, press RECEIVER (VSX-D412 only). 3 Press TUNER EDIT (T. EDIT on the VSXD512 remote). The display shows ST. MEMORY, then a blinking memory class.
