Features
DTS* (Digital Theater Systems) decoder equipped 
DTS is a digital sound system introduced in theaters. Playback of DVD, LD, and CD recorded in DTS audio creates the environment of a theater or the sensation of a concert hall in your home.
Dolby** Digital and Dolby Pro Logic
No need to worry about program formats! When playing Dolby Digital or Dolby Surround software in the 2(Dolby) Surround mode, decoding switches automatically according to the input signal. All you have to do is sit back and enjoy! (When connecting a DVD/LD player or LD player using the 2RF output, a commercially available RF demodulator (RFD-1) is required.)
ADVANCED THEATER modes
Four sound modes that enhance DTS and Dolby Surround performance by simulating the environment of a movie theater (DRAMA, ACTION), or the ambience of a concert hall (MUSICAL). With EXPANDED THEATER, you can enjoy Dolby Surround encoded software in simulated Dolby Digital.
Various Surround Effects (DSP)
The DSP (Digital Signal Processing) surround mode allows you to transform your living room into six different sonic environments when listening to music or watching movies.
Midnight Listening Mode
When late night hours or other factors require that the volume be kept low, the surround effects may tend to become less than satisfactory. When the midnight listening mode is on, you can enjoy the effects of quality surround sound even at low volumes.
DVD 5.1 channel input
A special 5.1 Channel input makes the VSX–D409/D509S fully compatible with Dolby Digital decoders and DVD players with 5.1 channel outputs.
The Energy-saving Design
This unit is designed to use minimal electricity when power is switched OFF (in Standby mode). Regarding the value of the power consumption in standby mode, refer to “Specifications” on page 58.
Remote Control of Other Components
The supplied remote control can be used to operate a variety of other components simply by recalling the appropriate preset code. In addition, the multi-operation functions allow you to perform a variety of operations automatically.

Remote control units
This manual is for the VSX-D409/ VSX-D509S audio/video multi-channel receivers.
It is divided into two main sections:
Set up
This section covers installing your receiver and connecting up all the other components in your home theater system to it. It also describes how to set up a multi-channel speaker system to take full advantage of the great surround sound features of your receiver.
Operation
This section shows you how to use every feature of the receiver and its remote control unit. It also covers using the supplied remote control to operate your other home theater components. To find out more about a specific button, control or indicator, see Displays & Controls starting on page 30. This will point you to the relevant chapter in the manual. In the Additional Information section (p.51-58) you'll find a troubleshooting section and specifications.
Installing the Receiver
Please note:
•Do not place objects directly on top of this unit. This would prevent proper heat dispersal.

Connecting Your Equipment
Connecting 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 (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 you only need to hook up one set of stereo plugs (two plugs). To use Digital source features you must hook up your digital components to the digital inputs but it is also a good idea to hook up your digital components to analog audio jacks. If you want to record to/from digital components (like an MD) to/from analog components, you must hook up your digital equipment with these analog connections. See p.11-12 for more on digital connections.
When connecting your equipment, always make sure the power is turned off and the power cord is disconnected from the wall outlet.
NOTE
•Only the VSX-D509S has S-video jacks and optical digital out jack.
•The arrows indicate the direction of the audio signal.

Cassette deck placement
Depending on where the cassette deck is placed, noise may occur during playback of your cassette deck which is caused by leakage flux from the transformer in the receiver. If you experience noise, move the cassette deck farther away from the receiver.

Connecting Your Equipment
Connecting Video Components
Connect your video components to the jacks as shown below. Regarding digital video components (like a DVD player), you must use the analog connections pictured on this page for the video signal but in order to use Digital source you should hook up their audio to a digital input (see the next page). It is also a good idea to hook up your digital components with analog audio connections as well (see the previous page). To cover all possible laser discs a DVD/LD player or LD player requires an analog connection (as shown here) and two digital connections (see the next page).
When connecting your equipment always make sure the power is turned off and the power cord is disconnected from the wall outlet.

If your video components have S-video jacks, you could use S-video cords (not supplied) to connect them on the back of the receiver.
However, if you use S-video cords for your video hook ups you must also hook up your TV with S- video connections. Conversely, if you use regular composite video cords for video hook ups, you should use them for your TV as well.

Connecting Your Equipment
Connecting Digital Components
In order to use PCM/2Digital/DTS soundtracks, you need to make digital audio connections. You can do this by either coaxial or optical connections (you do not need to do both). The quality of these two types of connections is the same but since some digital components only have one type of digital terminal, it is a matter of matching like with like (for example, the coaxial out from the component to coaxial in on the receiver). The VSX-D409/D509S has coaxial and two optical inputs for a total of three digital inputs. Connect your digital components as shown below. There is one digital out jack which is marked PCM/2/DTS (VSX-D509S only) OUT. If you connect this to the optical input on a digital recorder (currently these include MD, DAT and CD-R) you can make direct digital recordings with this unit.
When connecting your equipment, always make sure the power is turned off and the power cord is disconnected from the wall outlet.

Connecting Your Equipment
Example of connection using a DVD/LD or LD player
When playing LD recorded in Dolby Digital
To connect a DVD/LD or LD player with its 2RF 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 VSXD409/D509S models through their digital input jacks. For more details, refer to the instruction manual supplied with the RFD-1.

Connecting Your Equipment
Connecting Speakers
A full complement of six speakers is shown here but, naturally, everyone’s home setup will vary. Simply connect the speakers you have in the manner described below. The receiver will work with just two stereo speakers (called “front” speakers in the diagram) but it is recommended to be used with at least three speakers.
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.
The receiver has two speaker systems, A & B. A is the main system supporting the full complement of memo surround sound speakers. If you switch on both A & B speaker systems, only front speakers and the sub-woofer will be audible. No sound will come from the center or surround speakers but multi channel sources will be down-mixed to the active speakers so no sound will be lost. Similarly, if you choose just the B system you‘ll only hear the front speakers connected to the B system and multi channel sources
will be down-mixed to these two speakers.
• Use speakers with a nominal impedance of 8 Ω to 16 Ω.

Hints on speaker placement
Speakers are usually designed with a particular placement in mind. Some are designed to be floorstanding, while others should be placed on stands to sound their best. Some should be placed near a wall; others should be placed away from walls. Follow the guidelines on placement that the speaker manufacturer provided with your particular speakers to get the most out of them.
•Place the front left and right speakers at equal distances from the TV.
•When placing speakers near the TV, we recommend using magnetically shielded speakers to prevent possible interference, such as discoloration of the picture when the TV is switched on. If you do not have magnetically shielded speakers and notice discoloration of the TV picture, move the speakers farther away from the TV.
•Install the center speaker above or below the TV so that the sound of the center channel is localized at the TV screen.
CAUTION!
If you choose to install the center speaker on top of the TV, be sure to secure it with putty, or by other suitable means, to reduce the risk of damage or injury resulting from the speaker falling from the TV in the event of external shocks such as earthquakes.
•If possible, install the surround speakers slightly above ear level.
•Try not to install the surround speakers farther away from the listening position than the front and center speakers. Doing so can weaken the surround sound effect.
To achieve the best possible surround sound, install your speakers as shown below. Be sure all speakers are installed securely to prevent accidents and improve sound quality.

Preparations
SPEAKERS (Front, Center, Surround) setting mode
This setting establishes the size and configuration of the speaker system you have connected. So, for example, here you set whether you have connected surround speakers or not, and how big they are. Selecting “Large” or “Small” will determine how much bass is sent by the receiver to the speakers being set. This setup system has certain constraints. For example, all your speakers cannot be set to “Large,” you need to decide which speakers should receive the most bass and set them to “Large.”
In the display, “F”, “C”, and “S” refer to front, center, and surround speakers respectively. Speaker size is denoted as “L” for large speakers, “S” for small speakers, and “*” (asterisk) if no speaker is connected.
memo If the cone size (diameter) of the speaker is larger than 5 inches, please set to Large.
Switch the speaker setting mode according to the speakers you hooked up. Use the % or fi buttons.
The configurations shown on the right will appear in the display on the front of the receiver. One of them should match your speaker set up. Cycle through the different possibilities until you find the one that matches your set up.

Preparations
SUB WOOFER ON/PLUS/OFF setting mode
Sets whether the SUB WOOFER is used or not. Also, when used you have the option to use the “PLUS” setting.
• Initial setting is “ON”.
memo • Setting the front speaker size to “Small” in the SPEAKERS setting mode automatically locks the sub woofer in the “ON” position.
•Use the PLUS for extra bass. When you use PLUS you will get the bass sounds from the sub woofer even if the front speakers are set to “Large”.
dB
Press % or fi to select sub woofer ON, PLUS or
OFF.
Crossover frequency setting mode
Crossover frequency is the point where the receiver divides the high and low sounds (the frequencies) between the speakers. Since most smaller speakers can’t handle deep bass tones, this setting allows you to send those sounds to the sub woofer (or speakers set to “Large” if you don’t have a sub woofer) instead of the speakers set to “Small” in your system. Choose the point at which you want the frequency routed to the sub woofer (or “Large” speakers).
We recommend setting this to 200 Hz if smaller bookshelf-type speakers are used for your “Small” speakers.
• Initial setting is “100 Hz”.
memo • If all speakers (front, center, and surround) are set to “Large” in SPEAKERS setting mode, crossover frequency cannot be set because there are no “Small” speakers (*** appears in the display).

LFE attenuator setting mode
Dolby Digital and DTS audio sources include ultra-low bass tones. Set the LFE attenuator as needed to prevent the ultra-low bass tones from distorting the sound from the speakers.
• Initial setting is “0 dB”.
memo • When ∞ is selected ( appears in the display), LFE is not available.
