Switching ANALOG/DIGITAL Signal Input

This switch moves the input fed to the receiver between analog, digital and AC-3RF (VSX-27TX only) sources . You need to take special care to switch to the appropriate input, when necessary. For example, the switch would have to be on digital to use DOLBY DIGITAL or DTS surround sound but it would have to be on analog to record to the analog out jacks on the receiver. On the VSX-27TX the default setting is AUTO (which chooses digital when all three are available but goes with whatever is available if it is the only choice) . On the VSX-26/24TX the default setting is ANALOG.

memo

•In the AUTO setting (VSX-27TX only), SIGNAL SELECT chooses the signal in the following order: AC-3 RF, DIGITAL, ANALOG.

•If the Digital-In Select (see p.34) choices are set to OFF, the SIGNAL SELECT will default to ANALOG.

•Because the audio from a karaoke microphone and LD recorded with analog audio only is not output from the digital output, set SIGNAL SELECT to “ANALOG”.

•This receiver can only play back Dolby Digital, PCM (32kHz, 44kHz, 48kHz, and 96kHz), and DTS digital signal formats. It cannot play back digital signals other than these so for those kinds of formats you'll have to play them back in an analog manner (making sure your equipment is hooked up with analog connections and setting the SIGNAL SELECT to "ANALOG").

•When an LD or CD with DTS is played back with the SIGNAL SELECT set in “ANALOG,” digital noise caused by playing back the DTS directly (with no decoding) is output. To prevent noise, you need to make digital connections (See p. 10, 11) and set SIGNAL SELECT to “DIGITAL” (VSX-27TX could also be set to "AUTO").

•Some DVD players don’t output DTS signals. For more details, refer to the instruction manual supplied with your DVD player.
