Onkyo HT-RC270 instruction manual Audio Selector, Setting the Incoming Digital Signal Fixed Mode

Audio Selector

You can set priorities of audio output when there are both digital and analog inputs.

■Audio Selector

`ARC:

The audio signal from your TV tuner can be sent to the HDMI OUT of the AV receiver.*1

With this selection the TV’s audio can be automati- cally selected as a priority among other assignments.

`HDMI:

This can be selected when HDMI IN has been assigned as an input source. If both HDMI (HDMI IN) and digital audio inputs (COAXIAL IN or OPTI- CAL IN) have been assigned, HDMI input is auto- matically selected as a priority.

`COAX:

This can be selected when COAXIAL IN has been assigned as an input source. If both coaxial and HDMI inputs have been assigned, coaxial input is automatically selected as a priority.

`OPT:

This can be selected when OPTICAL IN has been assigned as an input source. If both optical and HDMI inputs have been assigned, optical input is automatically selected as a priority.

`Multich:

The AV receiver always outputs analog signals from multichannel analog input.

`Analog:

The AV receiver always outputs analog signals.

Note

•The setting is stored individually for each input selector.

•This setting can be made only for the input source that is assigned as HDMI IN, COAXIAL IN, or OPTICAL IN.

•To select the digital audio input, see “Digital Audio Input” for more detail (➔ 43).

•“Multich” can be selected only when the selector is set to “BD/ DVD”.

*1 You can select “ARC” if you select the TV/CD input selector. But you cannot select it if you’ve selected “Off” in the “Audio Return Channel” setting (➔ 54).

Setting the Incoming Digital Signal (Fixed Mode)

By pressing ENTER while selecting “HDMI”, “COAX”, “OPT” in the “Audio Selector”, you can specify the input signal in the Fixed Mode. Pressing ENTER again allows you to return to the “Audio Selector” setting.

Normally, the AV receiver detects the signal format auto- matically. However, if you experience either of the follow- ing issues when playing PCM or DTS material, you can manually set the signal format to PCM or DTS.

•If the beginnings of tracks from a PCM source are cut off, try setting the format to PCM.

•If noise is produced when fast forwarding or reversing a DTS CD, try setting the format to DTS.

`Auto:

The format is detected automatically. If no digital input signal is present, the corresponding analog input is used instead.

`PCM:

Only 2-channel PCM format input signals will be heard. If the input signal is not PCM, the PCM indi- cator will flash and noise may also be produced.

`DTS:

Only DTS (but not DTS-HD) format input signals will be heard. If the input signal is not DTS, the DTS indicator will flash and there will be no sound.

Note

•The setting is stored individually for each input selector.

•The setting will be reset to “Auto” when you change the setting in the “Audio Selector” (➔ 58).
