Switching the input mode (for DVD/LD and TV/DBS)

This unit allows you to switch the input mode only for sources connected to the DVD/LD and TV/DBS input terminals (on the rear panel of this unit) that input two or three types of signals.

The following two input modes are provided.

AUTO: For the source connected to the DVD/LD input terminals:

This mode is automatically selected when you turn the power of this unit on. In this mode, input signal is automatically selected in the following order of priority.

1.Digital input signal from the COAXIAL terminal

2.Digital input signal from the OPTICAL terminal

3.Analog input signal

For the source connected to the TV/DBS input terminals:

This mode is selected when you turn the power of this unit on if the AUTO position is selected on “10. INPUT” in the SET MENU mode. (For details, see page 36.)

In this mode, input signal is automatically selected in the following order of priority.

1.Digital input signal from the OPTICAL terminal

2.Analog input signal

ANALOG:

In this mode, only analog input signal is selected even if a digital signal is input at the same time.

Select this mode when you want to use the analog input signal instead of the digital input signal.

Notes on input mode selection

To playback a source with the Dolby Digital-decoded, set the input mode to AUTO.

For the TV/DBS source only, the input mode selected on the function “10. INPUT” in the SET MENU mode is effective when you turn the power of this unit on.

When you want to enjoy a source which has normal

2-channel signals with a Dolby Pro Logic Surround program, select the ANALOG mode.

In the AUTO mode, there may be a case depending on some LD players or DVD players that when you make a search on a source encoded with the Dolby Digital during the play and then the play is restored, sound output is interrupted for a moment because the digital input signal is selected again.
