Onkyo TX-L5 Relationship between input sources and surround modes

Notes on DTS

•If you play a CD or LD that supports DTS, you may hear a noise for a short while until the DTS decoder recognizes the DTS encoded signal and starts operating. This is not a malfunction.

•If you press the pause or skip button on the player while playing a DTS source, a short noise may be heard. This is not a malfunction.

•The DTS indicator on the TX-L5 lights up while it plays the DTS source. When playback concludes and the DTS signal transmission stops, the TX-L5 remains in DTS mode and the DTS indicator remains lit. This prevents noise when you operate the pause or skip button on the player. Therefore, if the source switches from the DTS signal to the PCM signal immediately, the PCM signal may not be played. In this case, stop the playback of the source on the player for about 3 seconds, then resume playback.

•Some CD players and LD players may be unable to play DTS sources correctly even if you connect the player to the TX-L5 digitally. This is because the digital signal has been processed (such as the output level, sampling frequency, frequency response, etc.), and the TX-L5 cannot recognize the signal as DTS data. Therefore, you may hear noise when you play a DTS source while processing the signal.

•The MD/TAPE OUT, HD OUT or VIDEO 1 OUT jacks of the TX-L5 output analog audio. Do not record CDs or LDs that support DTS using these jacks. Otherwise, you will record a DTS encoded signal as noise.

Relationship between input sources and surround modes

The surround modes that can be selected are variable depending on the signal formats employed with the input sources.

*1	Only STEREO can be selected when SP SETUP is set to 2 ch or when headphones are used.
*2	These modes cannot be selected when SP SETUP is set to 2 ch or 3 ch.
*3	Only STEREO can be selected when the PCM source has been recorded with a sampling rate 96 kHz.
*4	Only DOLBY D (PL II if the source is a 2-channel source) or STEREO can be selected when Dolby Digital
	surround audio is reproduced.
*5	If you have an LD player with AC-RF output, connect it via a AC-RF demodulator to one of the TX-L5’s DIGITAL
	INPUT terminals.
