CAUTION
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part
15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in
a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communica-
tions. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equip-
ment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
­ Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
­ Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
­ Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
­ Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
VENTILATION
· When installing this unit, make sure to leave space
around the unit for ventilation to improve heat radiation
(at least 20 cm at top, 15 cm at rear, and 15 cm at each
side). If not enough space is provided between the unit
and walls or other equipment, heat will build up inside,
interfering with performance or causing malfunctions.
· Do not place on a thick carpet, bed, sofa, or fabric having
a thck pile. Do not cover with fabric or covering.
Anything that blocks ventilation will cause intenal
tempture to rise, which may lead to breakdown or fire
hazard.
Information to User
Alteration or modifications carried out without
appropriate authorization may invalidate the user's
right to operate the equipment.
TWO VOLTAGE SELECTOR SWITCHES (multi-voltage model only)
Only multi-voltage model is provided with these switches. Mains
voltages in Saudi Arabia are 127 V and 220 V only. Never use this
model with the 110 V setting in Saudi Arabia.
The line voltage selector switches are on the rear panel. Check that they are
set properly before plugging the power cord into the household wall socket.
If the voltage is not properly set or if you move to an area where the voltage
requirements differ, adjust the selector switches as follows.
1. Use a medium-size screwdriver.
2. First, insert the screwdriver in the groove of the voltage selector at the
right, and adjust so that the tip of the groove points to the voltage value of
your area.
3. Next, insert the screwdriver in the groove of the voltage selector at the
left and adjust until the voltage is the same as at the right.

Features
DTS* (Digital Theater Systems) decoder equipped
R
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 soft-
ware 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 2 RF 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 envi-
ronment 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 VSX­D409/D409-G/D509S/D509S-G fully compatible with
Dolby Digital decoders and DVD players with 5.1 channel outputs.
The Energy-saving Design
This unit is designed to use 1 W of energy when this unit is in standby mode.
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 codes. In addition, the multi-operation functions allow you to
perform a variety of operations automatically.
