•Press SIGNAL SELECT to select the input signal corresponding to the source component.

Each press cycles through the options as follows:

•AUTO – This automatically switches to DIGITAL if a digital source is detected, otherwise it remains on

ANALOG.

•ANALOG – Selects the analog inputs.

•DIGITAL – Selects the digital input.

When set to DIGITAL or AUTO, 2 DIGITAL lights when a Dolby Digital signal is input, and DTS lights when a DTS signal is input.

Note

•This receiver can only play back Dolby Digital, PCM (32kHz–96 kHz) and DTS digital signal formats (including DTS 96kHz/24 bit). With other digital signal formats, set to ANALOG.

•You may get digital noise when a LD or CD player compatible with DTS is playing an analog signal. To prevent noise, make the proper digital connections (page 16) and set the signal input to DIGITAL.

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