Selecting the Analog or Digital Input Mode

Selecting the Analog or Digital Input

Mode

When you have connected digital source components using the digital terminals (see page 14), you need to select the digital input mode.

Before you start, remember...

The digital input (DIGITAL IN) terminal setting should be correctly done for the sources you want to select the digital input mode for (see “Setting the Digital Input Terminals—DIGITAL IN” on page 32). Without setting this digital input terminal correctly, you cannot change the input mode from analog input to digital input even if you follow the procedure below.

1.Press one of the source selecting buttons (DVD, VCR1, TV/DBS, CD, CDR, or TAPE/MD)* for which you want to change the input mode.

DVD DVD MULTI VCR 1 VCR 2 TV/DBS VIDEO CD PHONO TAPE/MD CDR FM AM

On the unit

DVD	DVD MULTI	PHONO	CD
VCR 1	VCR 2	TAPE/MD	CDR
TV/DBS	VIDEO	FM	AM

On the remote control

Note:

*You can select the digital input only for the sources which you have selected the digital input terminals for. (See “Setting the Digital Input Terminals—DIGITAL IN” on page 32.)

In addition, when “TAPE” has been assigned as the source name to the TAPE/MD button, it does not work in this step.

To change the source name, see “Changing the Source Name” on page 22.

2.Press INPUT MODE (or ANALOG/DIGITAL INPUT) to change the input mode.

•Each time you press the button, the input mode changes as follows:
