Digital Input Signal Formats

Advanced Setup—Continued

4	Use the Left and Right [	]/[ ]
	buttons to adjust the speaker
	level, and use the Down [	] but-
	ton to select the next speaker.

The level can be adjusted from –12 to +12 dB in 1 dB steps (–15 to +12 dB for the subwoofer).

5Repeat step 4 so that the level of the test tone from each speaker is the same.

Speakers that you set to No or None in the Speaker Conﬁguration (page 32) do not output the test tone.

6Press the [SETUP] button.

Setup closes.

Don’t forget to turn down the volume if you turned it up while setting the levels.

Note:

•A quicker way to adjust the speaker levels is to press the remote controller’s [TEST TONE] button to output the test tone, use the [LEVEL–] and [LEVEL+] but- tons to adjust the levels, and use the [CH SEL] button to select the speakers.

•If the multichannel input is selected (page 35), in step 2, the “3. MultiLevel” menu appears instead of the “3. Level Cal” menu, and you can adjust the level of each channel of the multichannel input regardless of the Speaker Conﬁguration settings.

The following table shows the display indicators for each supported digital signal format.

Normally, the AV receiver detects the signal format auto- matically. However, if you experience either of the fol- lowing issues when playing PCM or DTS material, you can manually set the signal format to PCM or DTS:

•If the beginnings of tracks from a PCM source are cut off, try setting the format to PCM.

•If noise is produced when fast forwarding or reversing a DTS CD, try setting the format to DTS.

DIGITAL INPUT

1Press and hold the AV receiver’s [DIGITAL INPUT] button for about 3 seconds.

2While “Auto” is displayed (about 3 sec- onds), press the [DIGITAL INPUT] button again to select: PCM, DTS, or Auto.

DTS or PCM: The DTS or PCM indicator, depending on which format you have set, ﬂashes, and only signals in that format are output. Digital signals in other formats are ignored.

Auto (default): The format is detected automati- cally. If no digital input signal is present, the cor- responding analog input is used instead.
