AUDIO SEL

Specifying the Digital Signal Format

1 2

If you connect a component to more than one audio input, such as a DVD player connected to analog, digital, multichannel, and HDMI inputs, you can use the [AUDIO SEL] button to select which audio input you want to use to listen to that component.

Press the [AUDIO SEL] button repeatedly to select an audio input: HDMI > Auto > Multich > Analog.

HDMI:

Selects the assigned HDMI IN, and the HDMI indicator appears on the display. (The HDMI IN must already be assigned to the current input selector. See page 50.)

Auto:

Selects the assigned COAXIAL or OPTICAL DIGITAL IN, and the DIGITAL indicator appears on the display. (The DIGITAL IN must already be assigned to the current input selector. See page 53.) If there is no digital signal, the analog input is used instead.

Multich:

Selects the multichannel input, and the ANALOG indicator appears on the display. (The multichannel input must already be assigned to the cur- rent input selector. See page 54.)

Analog:

Selects the analog input, and the ANALOG indicator appears on the display.

If you assign the balanced input to the input selector, the sound will be output from equipment connected to the BALANCED L and R INPUT XLR jacks (see page 54).

Normally, the AV controller detects the format of digital input signals automatically. However, if you experience either of the following issues when playing PCM or DTS sources, you can specify the signal format manually.

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

•If noise is produced when fast forwarding or rewind- ing a DTS CD, try the DTS setting.

1Press the [AUDIO SEL] button repeatedly to select “Auto”.

2While “Auto” is shown on the

display, use the Left and Right [e]/[r] buttons to select:

PCM:

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

DTS:

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

Auto (default):

The format is detected automati- cally. If no digital input signal is present, the analog input is used instead.
