THX Select
The VSX-859RDS(-G) and
VSX-839RDS THX Select certified
A/V receivers deliver the same
quality and experience as THX
Ultra. These THX Select receivers, however, have
power requirements which are better suited to
smaller living rooms – up to 2,000 cubic feet
(56.6 cubic meter), compared to 3,000+ cubic feet
(85+ cubic meter) for THX Ultra. They accurately
reflect the demands of modern programme
material, based on examining the requirements of
multi-channel digital audio.
Front Optical Digital Audio Input
(VSX-859RDS(-G))
The optical digital audio input terminal featured
on the VSX-859RDS(-G) front panel enables easy
connection of a portable DVD, MiniDisc or CD
player, for the utmost convenience. This terminal
accepts all mainstream digital formats, e.g. Dolby
Digital, DTS, PCM and MPEG. So you can enjoy the
total digital home cinema experience, even with a
portable DVD player.
Assignable Component Video Inputs
(VSX-859RDS(-G))
The VSX-859RDS(-G) has two component video
inputs: for example, in the initial setting you can
choose DVD/LD for Input 1 and TV/SATfor Input 2.
You can also assign other functions, choosing
from all video inputs (except for front video input),
if you want to connect other sources, like a second
DVD player. Yet another convenient feature from
Pioneer!
Function Rename
(VSX-859RDS(-G)/VSX-839RDS)
For more convenience, you can change the name
of each function (except TAPE2), e.g. DVD/LD,
CD-R, to a name you choose, of up to 10
characters. It’s so simple, just enter the characters
by using the remote control or multi-jog dial and
view your entry on the on-screen display* or FL
display.
