Configuring the Audio Input Signal Setting

You can play back most audio sources without a problem with the factory audio input signal setting (AUTO). However, depending on your needs, you can configure the audio input mode to specify an input signal type that can be used on the CinemaStation. Also, you can check the type of the audio signal currently input into the CinemaStation (page 71) with the CinemaStation display.

You can also switch input modes for the currently selected input by pressing and holding INPUT on the CinemaStation.

If a Dolby Digital or DTS signal is input while the input mode is set to “AUTO”, the CinemaStation automatically select the most suitable decoder for the signal.

With “Input Mode” in the Set Menu (page 79), you can set the mode that the CinemaStation automatically selects when it is turned on.

Notes

You cannot set “ANLG” for the DVD/CD input selection button.

You cannot switch input mode for the button if no external AV equipment is connected to the corresponding input jacks.

To play back a DTS signal, be sure to set the input mode to “AUTO” or “DTS”. Setting the mode to “ANLG” may produce noises or no sounds.

The following conditions may happen if a DTS signal is input while the input mode is set to “AUTO”.

If the CinemaStation detects a DTS signal, it automatically switches to DTS mode (tlights up). Once DTS audio playback finishes, the tblinks for a while. While it is blinking, you cannot play back audio source other than DTS signals. If you want to play normal PCM audio soon after DTS playback, set the input mode to “AUTO” again.

If the DTS signal is interrupted when you perform Search or Skip, the tmay blink. If this condition continues for over 30 seconds, the Input mode automatically changes from DTS to normal digital (PCM) and the tgoes out.

1Press and hold the Input selection button for the current input source until the input mode you want to select appears in the CinemaStation display.

While holding down the button, the input mode changes as follows:

AUTO

AUTO: Plays a source according digital signals priority over analog signals.
