Switching
Audio Input Sources
You need to install the software first before you can switch audio input sources.
However, if the SPDIF Bypass feature and Aux In 2 are both enabled, both the SPDIF In and Aux In 2 channels will be available.
For details on the SPDIF Bypass feature, see “Digital I/O” on page 14.
