Yamaha DSP-A2 38

BASIC OPERATION

Notes on input mode selection

●The input mode for a TV/DBS source is selected with function “7. TV/DBS INPUT” in the SET MENU mode. This unit will be automatically set to the selected input mode when the power is turned on.

●Set the input mode to the AUTO or D.D.RF mode to play a DVD/LD source encoded with Dolby Digital.

●Select the ANALOG mode to play a normal 2-channel source with a Dolby Pro Logic Surround program.

●The sound output may be interrupted in some LD and DVD players in the following situation:

The input mode is set to AUTO. A search is made while playing the disc encoded with Dolby Digital or DTS, then disc playing is restored. The sound output is interrupted for a moment because the digital input signal was selected again.

●The input mode cannot be changed for PHONO, TUNER, VCR 1, VCR 2 and VIDEO AUX sources because only analog signals are used.

●The present input mode appears on the front display and monitor screen when the input source is changed to DVD/LD, CD, TAPE/MD or TV/DBS, or the input mode is changed.

The present input signal also appears when the input mode is changed to AUTO, as shown in the following figure.

	DVD/LD	TAPE/MD
	TV/DBS	CD
	VCR 1	TUNER
	VCR 2	PHONO
SPEAKERS	V-AUX
A

*However, the present input signal will not appear when the input mode is switched during the speaker test mode. Only AUTO will be displayed.

Notes on playing a source encoded with DTS

●Select the DTS mode when playing an LD or CD source encoded with DTS. (Red “dts” indicator is illuminated on the display panel.) If the “AUTO” mode is selected, a noise may be heard just after playback begins.

Do not play these sources in the ANALOG mode because only background noise will be output from the speakers.

●This unit is automatically locked in the DTS decoding mode when playing a CD or LD source encoded with DTS in the AUTO mode to prevent background noise in future operation. The red “dts” indicator will be flashing. In the above mode, no sound will be heard if a disc with normal digital signals (PCM) is played from a CD or LD source. The INPUT MODE button on the front panel, or, the input selector key for the current source on the remote controller must be pressed so that “PCM” appears on the display panel.
