Digital connections

The digital in jacks can accept DTS, Dolby Digital (AC-3), or PCM signals. Connect components capable of outputting DTS, Dolby Digital (AC-3), or standard PCM (CD) format digital signals.

If you have connected any digital components to the receiver, be sure to read the “Input mode settings” section on this page carefully.

CD, DVD, VIDEO2, and VIDEO3 inputs each include jacks for digital

audio input and analog audio input.

 

You must select beforehand which type of input is to be used for each

 

connected component.

 

The initial factory setting is to use the digital audio signal for

 

playback (CD, DVD, VIDEO2, VIDEO3).

 

To use the analog audio input for playback instead (if, for example, you

 

have connected a VCR to the VIDEO2 or VIDEO3 input), you must set

 

the input mode for the corresponding input to the analog mode.
