Notes on input mode selection for LD sources

To play back a Dolby Surround AC-3 encoded source decoding its AC-3 RF signal, set the input mode to “AUTO” or “AC-3 RF”.

When you want to enjoy a Dolby Surround AC-3 encoded source with a Dolby Pro Logic Surround program, select the DIGITAL or ANALOG mode.

In the AUTO mode, there may be a case that when you stop the play of a Dolby Surround AC-3 encoded source temporarily by pressing the PAUSE button or making a chapter search on the LD player, the currently selected signal is changed to digital or analog signal automatically, and when the play is restored, the AC-3 RF signal is selected again. Sound output is interrupted for a moment when such a change of input signals occurs. To prevent an undesirable change of input signals, fix the AC-3 RF signal by selecting the AC-3 RF mode.

NOTES

For sources PHONO, TUNER, TAPE 2, VCR 1 and VCR 2, the input mode cannot be changed because they input analog signals only to this unit.

When the input source is changed to LD, CD, TAPE 1, TV/DBS or VCR3/DVD, or the input mode is changed, the currently selected input mode is shown on the display panel and the monitor screen. If changed to the AUTO mode, the type of selected input signal is also shown as figured below.

AUTO : PCM

*However, if those operations are made when the test-tone is output from this unit, the type of selected input signal will not be

shown. (Only “AUTO” will be displayed.)
