Selecting the input signal type

Most of the audio inputs have both analog and digital jacks. You can select the type of signal to be used in each case.

The input signal type for the current input is indicated in the display. With digital signals, the signal type (Dolby Digital or DTS) also shows in the display.

The default AUTO setting is usually sufficient, letting the receiver decide the most suitable signal type. However, in other cases (for example, if you want to record the analog output of a digital source) then you should set the input signal type to analog.
