Selecting a sound source

Setting the input signal format

If the input source is DVD, CD, VIDEO 1, VIDEO 2 or TAPE, you can specify the input signal format.

With the initial setting, AUTO is assigned to the DVD and CD inputs, and ANALOG is assigned to the TAPE, VIDEO 1 and VIDEO 2 inputs. You can change this according to the signal format of the input source.

For example, follow the steps below to specify the input signal format for the VIDEO 2 input:

1.Press the VIDEO 2 button.

VIDEO 2 is selected as the input source and “VIDEO 2” appears in the display.

2.Press the AUDIO SELECTOR button.

The current setting is displayed.

3.Press the AUDIO SELECTOR button repeatedly until the desired input signal format is displayed.

Each press of the button switches the displayed input format as follows. AUTO is skipped when the selected input is not assigned to the DIGITAL INPUT jacks (refer to page 12).
