■Input modes and indications
This system comes with a variety of input jacks. You can select the type of input signals you desire.
Press INPUT MODE (the input selector button that you have pressed to select the input source on the remote control) repeatedly until the desired input mode is shown on the front panel display.
• AUTO: In this mode, the input signal is selected automatically as follows:
| 1) Digital signal |
| 2) Analog signal |
• DTS: | In this mode, only the digital input signal |
| encoded with DTS is selected. |
•ANALOG: In this mode, only the analog input signal is selected.
y
•When AUTO is selected, this system automatically determines the type of signal. If this system detects a Dolby Digital or DTS signal, the decoder automatically switches to the appropriate setting.
•Each time you turn on the power of this system, the input mode is set according to “7 INPUT MODE” setting on the SET MENU (see page 39 for details).
Notes
•When playing a disc encoded with Dolby Digital or DTS on some LD players, the sound output may be delayed for a moment when playback resumes after a search because the digital signal is selected again.
•When playing a LD source that has not been digitally recorded, the sound may not be output for some LD players. In this case, set the input mode to ANALOG.
About playing DTS-CD/LDs
•If you use a player with a digital volume level controller, set the level to maximum when playing a source.
•If you play a source encoded with a DTS signal and set the input mode to ANALOG, this system may reproduce the noise of an unprocessed DTS signal. In this case, connect the source to a digital (optical) input jack and set the input mode to AUTO or DTS.
•If you switch the input mode to ANALOG while playing a source encoded with a DTS signal, this system reproduces no sound.
•If you play a source encoded with a DTS signal with the input mode set to AUTO;
–This system automatically switches to the DTS- decoding mode (The “t” indicator lights up) after having detected the DTS signal. When playback of the DTS source is completed, the “t” indicator may flash. While this indicator is flashing, only DTS source can be played. If you want to play a normal PCM source soon, set the input mode back to AUTO.
–When the input mode is set to AUTO and a search or skip operation is performed during playback of a DTS source, the “t” indicator may flash. If this status continues for longer than 30 seconds, this system will automatically switch from “DTS- decoding” mode to PCM digital signal input mode. The “t” indicator will turn off.
