When EXTERNAL DECODER is selected only the volume level and channel levels can be set. All of this unit’s other features (DSP modes, ADVANCED THEATER modes, DIRECT mode, TONE controls, etc.), as well as the TUNER and PHONO modes, cannot be used. Also, all speaker settings and other setup settings have no effect.

96kHz24bit Performance

This receicver is capable of playing back advanced DVD discs which are recorded in 96kHz/24 bit format (these are all stereo discs). The receiver will automatically read the format of the disc and play accordingly (of course the SIGNAL SELECT will have to set to DIGITAL to read the DVD soundtrack). When the receiver plays a 96 kHz/ 24 bit disc “96 kHz” appears in the display. If you try to use one of these functions or modes “96kHz” will light on the display, as shown below, indicating the procedure is not possible.
