Normally, the HTX-22HDX detects the for- mat of digital input signals automatically. However, if you experience either of the fol- lowing issues when playing PCM or DTS sources, you can specify the signal format manually.

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

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

1 With a PCM or DTS input source selected, press and hold the [SETUP] button for 3 seconds until “Fixed Mode: Auto” appears on the display.

2 While “Fixed Mode: Auto” is displayed (about 3 seconds), press the Left or Right []/[] button repeatedly to select: PCM, DTS, or Auto.

PCM: Only 2-channel PCM format input signals will be heard. If the input signal is not PCM, the PCM indicator will flash and there will be no sound.

DTS: Only DTS format input signals (excluding DTS-HD) will be heard. If the input signal is not DTS, the DTS indicator will flash and there will be no sound.

Auto (default):

All digital input signals can be heard.
