Auto (automatic detection): With this setting, the TX-DS898 automatically detects whether the input signal is digital or analog. When a digital signal is not input, then the analog signal is played.

Multich (Multichannel): Select this setting to play back the input from the component connected to the MULTI CHANNEL INPUT port. This setting is effective when the Multichannel setting in the Multichannel sub-menu is set to “Yes” (see page 34).

Analog: Select this setting to play back the input from a source component connected to an 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.
