!SIGNAL SELECT button

Use to select input signals for the digital components. First press DVD/LD, TV/SAT, MD/TAPE 1, CD or VCR (& Function buttons) to select the component, then press SIGNAL SELECT repeatedly to select one of the following:

ANALOG : Selects the analog (R and L) audio signals.

DIGITAL : Selects the digital audio signals. This receiver automatically detects and displays the format of the signal being input. AC-3 lights when Dolby Digital signals are input. (Dolby Digital decoding is switched automatically.)

SIGNAL SELECT is fixed in the “ANALOG” position for components not assigned to one of the three digital input jacks.

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, and 48kHz),digital signal formats. With digital signal formats other than these, set SIGNAL SELECT to “ANALOG”.
