Input Setup

a. Digital Input

This setting tells the DTR-7.1 which input source button on the front panel is connected with which digital input jack on the rear panel. To perform this setting, you must first select a digital input source at the front panel and then set the name of the digital input jack it is connected to here.

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

OPT1: Select if connected to DIGITAL INPUT (OPTICAL) 1.

OPT2: Select if connected to DIGITAL INPUT (OPTICAL) 2.

COAX1: Select if connected to DIGITAL INPUT (COAXIAL) 1.

COAX2: Select if connected to DIGITAL INPUT (COAXIAL) 2.

–– – –:Select if the input source is not from a digital input jack.

Note:

Do not assign a digital input to more than one input source. If you are making a digital connection that requires you to change the default settings, be sure to always first cancel the current digital input setting and then assign the new setting.

b. Digital Format

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

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

All: Select for automatic detection of the input signal format. The input signal format (Dolby Digital, DTS, PCM or Analog) used by the selected input source is detected automatically to execute the required decoding process.

DTS: Select for DTS signal processing. The decoding process is executed only when DTS signals are input.

PCM: Select for PCM signal processing. The decoding process is executed only when PCM signals are input.

Note:

If “All” is selected and a compact disc or LD is fast-forwarded during playback, decoded PCM signals may produce a skipping sound. In such cases, change the setting to “PCM.”

Notes on DTS:

•If you play a CD or LD that supports DTS when the “PCM” setting is selected on the DTR-7.1, 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 selected “All” or “DTS” and use the digital input jacks (OPTICAL or COAXIAL) to connect the DTS source.

•If you play a CD or LD that supports DTS 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 in the “DTS” selected.

•The DTS indicator on the DTR-7.1 lights while a DTS source is played. When playback finishes and the DTS signal transmission stops, the DTR-7.1 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 playback of the source on the player for about three seconds and then resume playback.

•You may not be able to play some DTS source signals from certain CD players and LD players even if you connect the player to the DTR-7.1 digitally. This is because the digital signal has been processed (such as the output level, sampling frequency, or frequency response) and the DTR-7.1 cannot recognize the signal 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, 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.

•If a compact disc or LD encoded in the DTS format is played back with “PCM” selected, only noise will be produced. Always select “All” or “DTS” when playing back DTS- encoded sources.

c.Multichannel

This sub-menu will not appear if AM or FM is selected at the front panel for the input source. This setting is normally set to “No,” and only needs to be changed to “Yes” if a DVD player, MPEG decoder, or other component that has a multi channel port is connected to the MULTI CHANNEL INPUT port for 5.1-channel, 6.1-channel, or 7.1-channel audio. For example, if a DVD player is connected to the MULTI CHANNEL INPUT port, then select DVD at the front panel as the input source, bring up this sub-menu, and select “Yes” for the Multichannel setting. You can only select Multichannel with the AUDIO SELECTOR button when “Yes” is selected here.

Note:

When playing a device that is actually connected to the MULTI CHANNEL INPUT terminal, select Multichannel with the AUDIO SELECTOR button.
