2.If necessary, press the Input Mode button to select the input mode of the source equipment, either analog or digital (depending on the connection made on the rear panel).

Stereo	Dolby Digital/ Pro Logic II	DSP	Input
Mode	DTS	Mode	Mode

The digital or analog icons on the display show which is the currently selected input type.

Note: The 340R stores the input type for each source so that it is automatically recalled when that source is selected again.

Selecting the desired listening mode

Select an appropriate mode for the source material/type you are listening to by pressing one of the three main Digital Processing Options buttons and cycling through sub-modes where available.

Stereo	Dolby Digital/ Pro Logic II	DSP	Input
Modes	DTS	Mode	Mode

In all cases the first time a mode button is pressed the 340R will report the current decoding mode on the front panel display. Pressing the button again will then cycle to the next available mode (if there is one). If no button is pressed for 4 or 5 seconds the 340R returns to normal operation without changing mode.

Stereo Modes - Selects 2 channel Stereo operation for stereo material, pressing again selects Stereo + Sub mode.

This is a digitally processed mode that allows bass and treble controls, and sub generation if required. The input can be either analog (in which case it will be turned into digital by 24 bit A/D conversion) or natively digital.

Digital inputs can be connected to the SPDIF outputs from Tuner's or CD Players etc (LPCM) or the digital outputs of DVD players (set to Bitstream/Raw) playing 2-channel Dolby Digital (2/0) or DTS (2/0) material.

Pro Logic II - Selects Pro Logic II decoding for use with appropriate matrix encoded material.

Dolby Digital / DTS Modes - Selects a range of digital surround modes with the appropriately digitally encoded material (only). These modes are for use with the digital outputs (set to Bitstream/Raw) from DVD players or satellite receivers etc. In order for the 340R to allow selection of these modes a valid input digital bitstream must be present. This is because the 340R needs to read the incoming flags in order to determine the type of decoding which can be used and present any options that might be possible.

If no bitstream is present, pressing this button will result in the 340R displaying ‘MODE UNAVAILABLE’.

Incoming Dolby Digital/DTS streams are always shown on the front panel display as Dolby Digital (x/x) or DTS (x/x), where the bracketed numbers indicate the active channels in the source material. Active output channels are shown by the icons on the right hand side of the front panel display. Possible incoming DD/DTS types are:

(1/0) - Mono, Centre channel only

(2/0) - Left/Right stereo

(2/1) - Left/Right stereo and LFE (Sub)

(2/2) - Left/Right stereo and Left/Right surround

(3/0) - Left, Centre, Right

(3/1) - Left, Centre, Right and LFE (Sub)

(3/2) - 5.1: Left, Right, Centre, Left Surround, Right Surround and LFE (Sub)

(3/3) - 6.1: Left, Right, Centre, Left Surround, Right Surround, Surround Back and LFE (Sub). Note: The 340R will output 6.1 inputs as 5.1 with a phantom back centre channel as 6.1 decoding is not supported.
