x DTS 96/24 96/24 DEC XXXX (DTS 96/24 decoding mode)

•AUTO

When a DTS 96/24 signal is input, it is played back at 96 kHz sampling frequencies.

•OFF

Even when a DTS 96/24 signal is input, it is played back at 48 kHz sampling frequencies.

Notes

•This parameter is valid only when A.F.D. mode is selected (page 30). In other sound fields, this parameter is always set to “OFF”.

•DTS 96/24 decoding is valid only when A.F.D. mode is selected (page 30). When the system is set to other sound fields, standard 48 kHz decoding is used.

•Even when a DTS 96/24 signal is input, standard 48 kHz decoding is used if any speakers are set to “SMALL” or if the sub woofer is set to “NO”.

xSB DEC XXXX(Surround back decoding mode)

You can also use “SB DEC XXXX” to set the surround back decoding mode (page 33).

For details on each decoding mode, see page 34.

•OFF

•AUTO

•ON

Note

This parameter is valid only when A.F.D. mode is selected except for Dolby Pro Logic IIx mode (page 30).

xSF LINK XXX (Sound field link)

•ON

Let you apply the last selected sound field to an input whenever it is selected. For example, if you select HALL for the SA-CD/CD input, then change to a different input and return to SA-CD/CD, HALL will automatically be applied again.

•OFF

Sound field link is not activated.

xA/V SYNC XXX (Time alignment)

Initial setting: 0 (0 ms)

Let you delay the output of audio to adjust the gap between video and audio. You can adjust from 0 (0 ms) to 200 (200 ms) in 10 ms steps.

xDEC. PRI. XXXX(Digital audio input decoding priority)

Lets you specify the input mode for the digital signal input to the DIGITAL IN jacks.

The initial setting is “DEC. PRI. AUTO” for VIDEO 3 and TV/SAT, and “DEC. PRI. PCM” for DVD, MD/TAPE and SA-CD/CD.

•AUTO

Automatically switches the input mode between DTS, Dolby Digital, or PCM.

•PCM

PCM signals are given priority (to prevent the interruption when playback starts). Even when other signals are input, the sound is output. However, this receiver cannot decode DTS-CD when set to “DEC. PRI. PCM”.

Note

When set to “DEC. PRI. AUTO” and the sound from the digital audio jacks (for SA-CD/CD, etc.) is interrupted when playback starts, set to “DEC. PRI. PCM”.
