Listening to your system 05

•If you want to play DTS-encoded sources, you need to have digital connections. If ANALOG is selected, you’ll hear digital noise through your speakers.

•Make sure you connect your DVD/LD or LD players using the 2 RF jack. If your player has a 2 RF output this will ensure you can use all LDs. Refer to Connecting other video sources on page 19.

•The input signal for unassigned i.LINK-equipped

components is fixed to . See Assigning the i.LINK inputs on page 89.

Selecting USB and multichannel analog input channels

•After selecting USB or MULTI CH IN as your input source, press SIGNAL SELECT to choose the number of input channels.

Select one of the following options:

•2 CHANNEL

•6 CHANNEL

The 8 CHANNEL setting is the default.

Listening to high-sampling formats

This receiver supports 88.2/96kHz (24-bit) digital formats (such as DTS 96/24 and PCM 96kHz sources up to 24-bit) when connected to a compatible DVD player with digital connections. If you have connected this receiver to an i.LINK-equipped component, 176.4/192kHz (24-bit) digital formats (such as DVD-A and SACDs) are also supported. You can listen to these formats without downsampling in one of three ways:

•Switch the Stream Direct mode on. See Using the Stream Direct mode on page 45.

For the following options, the 2 Pro Logic modes cannot be selected for DTS 96kHz (24-bit) sources without downsampling:

•Select one of the Home THX modes. See Using the Home THX modes on page 43.

•Select the STEREO or STANDARD listening mode and switch off any other sound processing features. These features include:

•Real Phantom (page 49)

•Virtual Surround Back (page 49)

•Midnight/Loudness (page 50)

•Digital Noise Reduction (page 51)

•Dynamic Range Control (page 92)

Note that you’ll still be able to use the tone control (see Using the tone control on page 50).

Note

•You will see the sampling frequency in the display (with DTS 96kHz (24-bit) sources, 96 is only displayed when the signal is being processed at 96kHz).

•Even if your DVD player can’t output 96kHz (24-bit) digital signals, you can still listen to DTS 96/24 sources processed at 96kHz if it has a DTS output feature. Other formats (such as PCM192/96kHz sources) are not compatible unless the digital output of your DVD player supports high-sampling digital signals.
