	• Press SIGNAL SELECT on the front

	sponding to the source component.
	Each press cycles through the options as
STEREO/	follows:
DIRECT	• AUTO – This automatically switches to
	DIGITAL if a digital source is detected,
	otherwise it remains on ANALOG.

•While listening to a source, press STEREO/DIRECT for stereo playback. Press repeatedly to switch between:

•STEREO – The audio is heard with your surround settings and you can still use the Midnight, Loudness, and Tone control functions.

•DIRECT – Bypass all effects and surround settings so that the audio remains as close to the source audio signal as possible.

•If you switch on Midnight listening, Loud- ness, or the Tone controls when DIRECT is selected, the receiver automatically switches to STEREO.

Choosing the input signal

• Default setting: AUTO

You need to hook up a component to both analog and digital inputs on the rear of the receiver to select between input signals.

•DVD 5.1ch (VSX-D714/D814 only) – Selects the multichannel inputs (only appears when DVD/LD is selected).

•ANALOG – Selects the analog inputs.

•DIGITAL – Selects the digital input.

When set to DIGITAL or AUTO, 2 DIGITAL lights when a Dolby Digital signal is input, and DTS lights when a DTS signal is input.

•This receiver can only play back Dolby Digital, PCM (32kHz–96 kHz) and DTS digital signal formats (however, only the VSX-D714/D814 can decode DTS 96kHz/ 24 bit signal formats). With other digital signal formats, set to ANALOG.

•You may get digital noise when a LD or CD player compatible with DTS is playing an analog signal. To prevent noise, make the proper digital connections (page 15) and set the signal input to DIGITAL.

•Some DVD players don’t output DTS signals. For more details, refer to the instruction manual supplied with your DVD player.
