Once this is selected, the input signals connected to the FL (front left), FR (front right), C (center), SL (surround left), SR (surround right), SBL (surround back left) and SBR (surround back right) channels of the EXT. IN jacks are output directly to the front (left and right), center, surround (left and right) and surround back (left and right) speaker systems as well as the pre-out jacks without passing through the surround circuitry.

The volume can be adjusted within the range of

–80 to 0 to 18 dB, in steps of 0.5 dB. However, when the channel level is set as described on page 20 or pages 39, if the volume for any channel is set at +0.5 dB or greater, the volume cannot be adjusted up to 18 dB. (In this case the maximum volume adjustment range is “18 dB — (Maximum value of channel level)”.)

Input mode when playing DTS sources

•Noise will be output if DTS-compatible CDs or LDs are played in the “ANALOG” or “PCM” mode. When playing DTS-compatible sources, be sure to connect the source component to the digital input jacks (OPTICAL/COAXIAL) and set the input mode to “DTS”.

Note on playing a source encoded with DTS

•Noise may be generated at the beginning of playback and while searching during DTS playback in the AUTO mode. If so, play in the DTS mode.

•DTS

•PCM

The DIG. indicator lights when digital signals are being input properly. If the DIG. indicator does not light, check whether the digital input component setup (page 22) and connections are correct and whether the component’s power is turned on.

AL24 processing is activated when PCM signals are played while the surround mode is set to PURE DIRECT, DIRECT or STEREO.

NOTE:

•The DIG. indicator will light when playing CD- ROMs containing data other than audio signals, but no sound will be heard.

In addition, the signal input to the SW (subwoofer) jack is output to the PRE OUT SUBWOOFER jack.

NOTES:

•In play modes other than the external input mode, the signals connected to these jacks cannot be played. In addition, signals cannot be output from channels not connected to the input jacks.

•The external input mode can be set for any input source. To watch video while listening to sound, select the input source to which the video signal is connected, then set this mode.

•If the subwoofer output level seems to high, set the “SW ATT” surround parameter to “ON”.
