SELECTOR

Auto (automatic detection): With this setting, the TX-NR900/ 900E automatically detects whether the input signal is digital or analog. When a digital signal is not input, then the analog signal is played. This setting only appears if a digital input is selected for the Digital Input setting at Setup Menu → Input Setup Menu → Digital Setup Sub-menu (see page 51).

Multich (Multichannel): Select this setting to play back the input from the component connected to the MULTI CHANNEL INPUT port. This setting only appears if “Yes” is selected for the Multichannel setting at Setup Menu → Input Setup Menu → Multichannel Setup Sub-menu (see page 52).

Analog: Select this setting to play back the input from a source component connected to analog audio input jacks. With this setting, even if a digital signal is input from the same component, only the analog signal will be output.

The subwoofer can be adjusted between –30 and +12 decibels.
