Switching ANALOG/DIGITAL signal input

This switch moves the input fed to the receiver between analog, digital and AC-3 RF 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, DTS surround sound and MPEG audio (VSX-D938TX only) but it would have to be on analog to record from the analog out jacks on the receiver. On the VSX-D938TX, the default setting is AUTO (which chooses digital when all three are available but foes with whatever is available if it is the only choice), on the VSX-D908TX/D908TX-G is ANALOG.

•If the Digital-In Select (see p.37) choices are set to OFF, the SIGNAL SELECT will default to ANALOG.

SIGNAL SELECT	• 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, or MPEG digital signal formats. It cannot play back digital singals other than these so for those formats you will 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”(VSX-D938TX could

also be set to “AUTO”).
