Digital Input Signal Formats

The digital input signal formats are available only for the input sources that you have assigned a digital input jack (➔ 29).

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.

Note

•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.

•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” (➔ 35).
