•FRONT CH ALIGN – All speakers are heard in accordance with the front speaker settings.

•CUSTOM 1/2 – Custom settings

•OFF – Switches Acoustic Calibration EQ off.

Selecting the input signal type

Most of the audio inputs have both analog and digital jacks. You can select the type of signal to be used in each case.

The input signal type for the current input is indicated in the display. With digital signals, the signal type (Dolby Digital or DTS) also shows in the display.

The default AUTO setting is usually sufficient, letting the receiver decide the most suitable signal type. However, if you want to record from the DVR/VCR1 IN/OUT jacks, then you should set the input signal type to analog.

If you have selected the USB interface or the multichannel analog inputs as your input source, see Selecting USB and multichannel analog input channels below.
