Switching ANALOG/DIGITAL Signal Input

Basic Operation

This button selects the type of input signal, ANALOG or DIGITAL, sent to the receiver. 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 hear Dolby Digital or DTS surround sound material but it would have to be on analog to record from the ANALOG out jacks on the receiver. The default setting is AUTO (which chooses digital over analog when both are available but goes with whatever is available) for: DVD/LD, TV/SAT, VIDEO, CD, CDR/TAPE1. The default setting is ANALOG for: VCR1/DVR, VCR2, MD/TAPE2, TUNER and LINE.

memo

•When DIGITAL signal is selected, 2 DIGITAL lights when a Dolby Digital signal is input; DTS lights when a DTS signal is input.

•If no digital inputs are assigned (see page 76) you can only choose ANALOG in the SIGNAL SELECT.

•Because the audio signal from a karaoke microphone and LDs are recorded with analog audio only, they are not output from the digital outputs. Set SIGNAL SELECT to ANALOG to listen to these formats.

•When an LD with DTS is played back with the SIGNAL SELECT set in ANALOG, digital noise caused by playing back the DTS signal directly (with no decoding) is output. To prevent noise, you need to make digital connections (See pages 21 & 22) and set SIGNAL SELECT to AUTO or DIGITAL.

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

•This receiver can only play back Dolby Digital, PCM (32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, 88.2 kHz and 96 kHz sampling frequency), and DTS digital signal formats. If your source is not one of these select ANALOG for playback.
