: Not available for digital input. a. Digital Input

This setting tells the DTR-7.4 which input source button on the front panel is connected with which digital input jack on the rear panel.

For example, if the input source selected at the front panel is CD and the compact disc player is connected to DIGITAL IN OPT 1, then select “OPT1” here. If the input source selected is not connected to a digital input, then select “----.”

OPT1-3:Select if the input source is connected to any of the DIGITAL IN OPT jacks 1 through 3. COAX1-3:Select if the input source is connected to any of the DIGITAL IN COAX jacks 1 through 3.

----: Select if the input source is not from a digital

input jack.

b. Digital Format

Sets the digital signal to type given priority during sig- nal detection at the selected digital terminal.

The default setting is “All.” If “----” is selected for this

input source at the Digital Input setting, then this setting cannot be selected. Although you can use this default setting as is, you may change it as desired depending on the input signal format or if you know that you will always be listening to a certain input signal format from a particular input source.

All: The digital signal suitable for the input signal will be preceded for playback. When there is no dig- ital signal input, analog signal will be played.

DTS: Select this if you play DTS-formatted CD in “All” mode and hear noise during fast-forward or rewind operation. Non-DTS sound input will not be output.

PCM: Select this if you hear sound gap between PCM tracks such as ones on CD in “All” mode. Non- PCM sound input will not be output.

Notes:

•When you play DTS-formatted CD or LD, be sure to select “All” or “DTS.” If you select “PCM,” noise will be heard.

•If a DTS signal is not input when “DTS” is selected, the DTR-7.4 will not automatically switch to analog output even though “Auto” is selected with the Audio Selector button.

Notes on DTS:

•If you play a DTS-formatted CD or LD when the “PCM” setting is selected on the DTR-7.4, the DTS encoded signal will not be decoded and noise will be output. This noise could damage the amplifier and speakers. Therefore, be sure to select “All” or “DTS” and use the digital input jacks (OPTICAL or COAX- IAL) to connect the DTS source.

•If you play a DTS-formatted CD or LD when “All” is selected, you may hear a noise for a short while until the DTS decoder recognizes the DTS-encoded signal and starts operating. This is not a malfunction.

•If you press the pause or skip button on the player while playing a DTS source, a short noise may be heard. This is not a malfunction. In such cases, try playing the source with the “DTS” selected.

•The DTS indicator on the DTR-7.4 lights while a DTS source is played. When playback finishes and the DTS signal transmission stops, the DTR-7.4 remains in DTS mode and the DTS indicator remains lit. This prevents noise when you operate the pause or skip button on the player. Therefore, if the source is immediately switched from DTS to PCM, the PCM signal may not be played. In this case, stop the play- back of the source on the player for about three sec- onds and then resume playback.

•You may not be able to play some DTS source signals from certain CD players and LD players even when you connect the player to the DTR-7.4 digitally. This is because the digital signal has been processed (such as the output level, sampling frequency, or frequency response) and the DTR-7.4 cannot recognize the sig- nal as DTS data. Therefore you may hear noise when you play a DTS source while processing the signal.

•The outputs for the VIDEO 1 OUT, VIDEO 2 OUT, TAPE OUT, and ZONE 2 OUT output analog audio signals. Do not record from CDs or LDs that support DTS using these outputs. If you do, the DTS-encoded signal will be recorded as noise.
