Switching ANALOG/DIGITAL Signal Input
This switch moves the input fed to the receiver between analog, digital sources. 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 use
DOLBY DIGITAL or DTS surround sound but it would have to be on analog to record from the analog out jacks
on the receiver. On the VSX-D908S the default setting is ANALOG.

SIGNAL
SELECT
• If the Digital-In Select (see p.34) choices are set to OFF, the
SIGNAL SELECT will default to ANALOG.
• 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, 48kHz, and 96kHz), DTS digital signal formats. It
cannot play back digital singals other than these so for those
formats you’ll have to play them back in an analog manner
(making sure your equipment is hooked up with analog
connections and setting the SIGNAL SELECT to “ANALOG.”
• When an LD or CD with DTS is played back with the SIGNAL
SELECT set in “ANALOG,” digital noise caused by playing
back the DTS directly (with no decoding) is output. To prevent
noise, you need to make digital connections (See p. 10-11)
and set SIGNAL SELECT to “DIGITAL”.
• Some DVD players don’t output DTS signals. For more details,
refer to the instruction manual supplied with your DVD player.
