Setting the input signal format (Digital Input Setup)

The input signal format defaults to “Automatic.” Although you can use this default setting normally, you may change it depending on the input signal format.

Ex.) Setting the input signal format for DVD

1.Press the DVD input selector button.

2.Press the DIGITAL/ANALOG button twice to display the digital input format.

Press the SMART SCAN CONTROLLER. You are now able to select the input signal format.

3.By rotating the SMART SCAN CONTROLLER, select the input signal format from among “Automatic,” “Digital,” “Analog,” “PCM,” and “DTS.”

Automatic (Automatic detection)

Input signal format (Dolby Digital, DTS, MPEG, or PCM) used in the selected input source is detected automatically to execute the required decoding process. If no digital signal is input, the input signals to the analog input jacks will be played.

Digital (Digital input automatic detection)

Input digital signal format (Dolby Digital, DTS, MPEG, or PCM) used in the selected digital input source is detected auto- matically to execute the necessary decoding process.

Analog (Analog audio signal processing)

The audio signals input from the equipment connected to the analog input jacks are played.

PCM (PCM signal processing)

A decoding process is executed only when PCM signals are in- put.

DTS (DTS signal processing)

A decoding process is executed only when DTS signals are in- put.

Notes:

•In “Automatic” or “Digital” mode, if the CD or LD is fast-for- warded during playback, decoded PCM signals may produce skipped sound. In such cases, change the digital audio format to “PCM.”

•If a CD or LD encoded in the DTS format is played back using “PCM” or “Analog” mode, a noise will be produced. This noise could damage the amplifier and speakers. Always use “Auto- matic”, “Digital”, or “ DTS” mode when playing back DTS-en- coded sources.

•MPEG signals can be detected only by models bearing mark on their front panel.
