Stereo and Multichannel Playback
The following instructions show you how to play Dolby Digital, MPEG or DTS sound sources with the VSA-AX10-
S.
Before doing so be sure to complete the setup procedures described in the Quick Start Guide (starting on page
14) or Setting Up for Surround Sound (starting on p.40). This is particularly important to achieve a surround
sound effect with Dolby Digital, MPEG or DTS sources. Further adjustments are needed when an i.LINK-
equipped component is connected (see p.87).
Listening Modes available to you are contingent on what kind of source you are using and what LISTENING CH
SELECT (7.1/5.1/AUTO) option you choose. For background information on these ideas see page 10 (Home
Theater: The Basics) and for more information of the listening modes and their uses see pages 53-57.
Be sure to select speaker A or if you are bi-amping the front speakers select A&B (see p.74).
1 Turn on the power of the playback
component.
2 Press the POWER ON/OFF
button to turn on the
amplifier.
Be sure that the standby indicator turns
off on the front panel.
3 Press the INPUT or Function button
on the remote control to select the
source you want to playback.
On the front panel, use the input function dial to select
the source.
The default setting for the input signal is AUTO, if you
need to set ANALOG, DIGITAL, i.LINK or 2 RF see
p.52.
• The model name will be displayed for the assigned
(see p.87) input function of the i.LINK device.
• An i.LINK device that is not assigned can be
selected by this method. After the PHONO function
the names of the models are displayed in turn.
• When an i.LINK-Audio-equipped component is
selected, the i.LINK indicator lights. A play instruc-
tion is sent to the selected i.LINK-equipped compo-
nent and it may begin to play automatically. With
some i.LINK-equipped components the amplifier
input function automatically switches to the i.LINK-
equipped component that has started playback.
When i.LINK-equipped components are connected,
please refer to the manual for that component for
an explanation of linkable functions.
4 Press AMP on the remote control.
Make sure it is in the MAIN SCREEN.
5 Press the LISTENING CH SEL. button
on the remote control.
Each press switches LISTENING CH SELECT between
5,1, 7.1 and AUTO (see p.51 for more on this). On the
front panel, use the LISTENING CH SELECT button to
select the channel.
