Advanced/Customized Settings
If you want to customize your home theater to your environment, equipment or personal tastes, many settings are
available. One of the most important advanced settings, called Room Setup, establishes the distances between your
speakers and your normal listening position (as well as volume levels, etc.). Making this setting should improve your
surround sound. Room Setup is explained on page 24. After that you could go on to fine tune your surround sound
for maximum sound quality. These settings start on page 25.
The VSX-C300/C300-S has many different listening modes to accommodate many different kinds of sources, speaker
configurations and sound reproduction. Experiment with these features to figure out what suits your tastes.
The listening mode explanations and settings start on page 30.
The above is a quick guide to getting you started with your home theater system and a few setup suggestions. It is a
good idea, however, to read this manual in its entirety so you understand what you can do with the VSX-C300/C300-
S and the possibilities of home theater in general. You may find many hints in these explanations that help you get
better sound and let you operate all your equipment more effectively.
Automatic Switching between Analog & Digital Signals
This receiver is equipped with the ability to automatically select a digital or analog signal depending upon what is
being input. If both a digital and an analog signal are being input the receiver will give priority to the digital one. The
DIGITAL indicator will light (see page 18) when the VSX-C300/C300-S is receiving a digital signal. If you have made
a digital connection (see above) and are playing a digital source but the DIGITAL indicator isn’t lit, meaning the
receiver is not playing a digital signal, there are a number of possible reasons for this problem. Check the list below to
try and find the cause.
• The power of the player sending the signal is turned off.
• The digital output of the player sending the signal is turned off (refer to the instruction manual that came with the
player).
• The software or source (usually a DVD disc) you are playing doesn’t output an optical signal (refer to the instruc-
tion manual that came with the player).
• Analog input mode is selected (see page 39).
Quick Start Guide
MEMO:
There is also a way to select an analog input whether a digital signal is being input or not. To do this see “Analog
Input Mode” on page 39.
