Input Setup

a. Digital Input

This setting tells the DTR-6.3/5.3 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 INPUT OPTICAL 2, then select “OPT2” here. If the input source selected is not connected to a digital input, then select “----.”

OPT1, 2: Select if the input source is connected to either of the DIGITAL INPUT OPTICAL 1 or 2 jack.

COAX: Select if the input source is connected to the DIGITAL INPUT COAXIAL jack.

–– – –:Select if the input source is not from a digital input jack. The default settings are given below.

Input source	Digital input
CD	OPT 1
PHONO*	----
TAPE	----
DVD	COAX
VIDEO 1	----
VIDEO 2	----
VIDEO 3	OPT 2

----: Available for digital input but not set in initial settings. * DTR-6.3 only

Notes:

•This item will not appear if the selected input source button is Tuner.

•Since VIDEO 4 is fixed to the optical digital terminal on the front panel, this item will not appear if VIDEO 4 is selected.

b.Digital Format

Sets the digital signal type to which priority is given during signal 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 will not appear. 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: Select for automatic detection of the input signal format. The input signal format (Dolby Digital, DTS, or PCM) 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.

Notes:

•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.”

•If a DTS signal is not input when “DTS” is selected, the DTR- 6.3/5.3 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-6.3/5.3, 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 (OPT or COAX) 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 in the “DTS” selected.

•The DTS indicator on the DTR-6.3/5.3 lights while a DTS source is played. When playback finishes and the DTS signal transmission stops, the DTR-6.3/5.3 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 when you connect the player to the DTR-6.3/5.3 digitally. This is because the digital signal has been processed (such as the output level, sampling frequency, or frequency response) and the DTR-6.3/5.3 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, and 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 CD 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 setting is available when the input source is DVD.

Select “Yes” when using a DVD player with a 5.1-channel audio output port. The default setting is “Yes.”

Note:

Press the Audio Selector button to select Multich during playback.

d. Component Video

If the video signal from a component is input to one of the component video input banks (1 or 2), then which input source and which component video input bank must be set here.

The Component Video setting is available when the input source is DVD or VIDEO 1-4.

The default settings are given below.

Input source selected	Component video input
DVD	INPUT 1
VIDEO 1	INPUT 2
VIDEO 2	INPUT 2
VIDEO 3	INPUT 2
VIDEO 4	INPUT 2
