xA.V.SYNC.XX (Time alignment)

Initial setting: 0 (0 ms)

Lets you delay the audio output so that the time gap between the audio output and visual display is minimized. You can adjust from 0 (0 ms) to 20 (200 ms) in 1 (10 ms) steps.

xDEC. XXXX(Digital audio input decoding priority)

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

•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. PCM”.

Note

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