Setting the input signal format

You can select the audio signal you wish to use, for each input source.

Multich: Setting to play back the input from the component connected to the DVD port (FRONT L/R, SURR L/R, CENTER and SUBWOOFER).

* The name of the input terminals (OPT or COAX) is shown inside ( ).

“Auto” will be skipped when digital input jack is not assigned to the input source.

**“Multich” can be selected only when DVD is selected as the input source.

To fix the “Auto” to DTS or PCM

If there is a problem as described below, it is possible to fix the “Auto” to PCM or DTS.

If the beginning of each PCM track is cut in Auto mode Fix the digital signal to PCM. However, care is required in using this mode for playback of a DTS-CD may be interfered by noise.

If, during playback of a DTS-CD in Auto mode, noise is output when the CD is fast-forwarded or reversed Fix the digital signal to DTS.

1)Press AUDIO SELECTOR on the main unit (or AUDIO SEL on the remote controller) to select “Auto”.

2)While “Auto” is displayed, press ADJUST / . Each

press of the button switches the display between Auto PCM DTS Auto.

When the digital signal is fixed at DTS or PCM, the digital signal is reproduced only when the selected type of signal is input. Digital signals of other types are not reproduced. In this case, only the indicator of the non-reproduced source (PCM or DTS) will blink.

Note

Changing the digital input setting (see page 21) will cancel the selected input signal format. In such cases, set the input signal format again. If you had set the DVD input to “Multi”, it will not change.
