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 1, 2, 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.
