Press the AUDIO SELECTOR button on the front panel (or the AUDIO button on the remote controller) to change the audio mode. Each time the button is pressed, the mode changes from “AUTO” → “MULTICH” → “ANALOG” and back to “AUTO.” The “AUTO” audio mode is recommended for normal circumstances.

AUTO (automatic detection): With this setting, the TX-DS595 automatically detects whether the input signal is digital or analog. When a digital signal is not input, then the analog signal is played.

MULTICH: 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 Audio Setup is set to “YES.”

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.
