| encoded with DTS is selected. |
•ANALOG: In this mode, only the analog input signal is selected.

•When AUTO is selected, this unit automatically determines the type of signal. If this unit detects a Dolby Digital or DTS signal, the decoder automatically switches to the appropriate setting.
•Each time you turn on the power of this unit, the input mode is set according to “8 INPUT MODE” setting on the SET MENU (see page 63 for details).
Notes
•When playing a disc encoded with Dolby Digital or DTS on some LD players, the sound output delays for a moment when playback resumes after a search because the digital signal is selected again.
•When playing a LD source that has not been digitally recorded, the sound may not be output for some LD players. In this case, set the input mode to ANALOG.
Notes on playing

•If you play a source encoded with a DTS signal and set the input mode to ANALOG, this unit may reproduce the noise of an unprocessed DTS signal. In this case, connect the source to a digital input jack and set the input mode to AUTO or DTS.
•If you switch the input mode to ANALOG while playing a source encoded with a DTS signal, this unit reproduces no sound.
•If you play a source encoded with a DTS signal with the input mode set to AUTO;
–This unit automatically switches to the DTS- decoding mode (The “t” indicator lights up) after having detected the DTS signal.
