digital inputs (COAXIAL 1 – 3). When a digi- tal input is selected, the unit will check for a digital signal when the INPUT SOURCE but- ton is pressed. If no digital signal is present, the unit will automatically revert to the ana- log input. When an ANALOG input is selected, the unit will not access a digital signal, even though one may be present at the digital in- put; thus, the ANALOG setting forces the unit to use accept only an analog signal. Assign- ing a digital input (with its auto-sensing) is the preferred configuration for digital source in- puts such as DVD players.

NOTE: If a source connected to a digital input is selected, that signal will automatically be sent to both digital outputs for recording.

SURR MODE: selects the default surround sound mode for the input shown at the top of the menu. The default setting will be used unless the source material triggers automatic decoding of a particular type or unless the default set- ting is overridden by the front panel or remote surround buttons. Options are: Stereo, Dolby Pro Logic II, Dolby 3-Stereo, Music 1 – 4, 5CH Stereo, 7CH Stereo, and DTS Neo:6.

This is a default setting for each input and, in some cases, can be manually overridden by the front-panel MODE buttons or the SUR+ button on the remote. See the SURROUND SOUND CONTROLS section of this manual for more information on which settings can be overridden.

NOTE: The following types of discs or source material are generally detected automatically and the proper decoding activated with no action or setting required: DTS, DTS-ES Ma- trix 6.1, DTS-ES Discrete 6.1, Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Surround EX, Dolby Digital 2- channel, PCM 2-Channel, MP3, and HDCD.

Two of the default surround mode settings available on this menu offer additional choices. Dolby Pro Logic II decoding offers a choice
