■Notes on playing a source encoded with a DTS signal

•If the digital output data of the player has been processed in any way, you may not be able to perform DTS decoding even if you make a digital connection between this unit and the player.

•If you play a source encoded with a DTS signal and set the input mode to ANALOG, this unit reproduces the noise of an unprocessed DTS signal. When you want to play a DTS source, be sure to connect the source to a digital 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 unit reproduces no sound.

•If you play a source encoded with a DTS signal and set the input mode to AUTO, there will be a moment of noise while the unit recognizes the DTS signal and turns on the DTS decoder. This is not a malfunction.

You can avoid this by setting the input mode to DTS beforehand.

•If you continue to play a source encoded with a DTS signal with the input mode setting left to AUTO, this unit automatically switches to the “DTS-decoding” mode to prevent noise from being generated during subsequent operation. (The “ t” indicator lights up on the front panel display.) The “ t” indicator will flash immediately after playback of a source encoded with a DTS signal has finished. Only a source encoded with a DTS signal can be played back while this indicator is flashing. If you want to play a normal PCM source soon, set the input mode back to AUTO.

•The “t” indicator will flash when the input mode is set to AUTO and a search or skip operation is performed while playing back a source encoded with a DTS signal. If this status continues for 30 or more seconds, the unit will automatically switch from the “DTS-decoding” mode to PCM digital signal input mode and the “ t” indicator will go out.

BASIC PLAYBACK

■Notes on playing an LD source

•For LD software that does not contain a digital soundtrack, connect the LD player to the analog jacks and set the input mode to AUTO or ANALOG.

•If the LD player is transmitting a signal by a non- standard method, this unit cannot detect the Dolby Digital or DTS signal. In this case, the decoder automatically switches to PCM or analog.

•Some A/V components such as LD players output different audio signals through their analog and digital jacks. Change the input mode as necessary.

•While you are operating the LD player and playing a disc encoded with a Dolby Digital signal, if you switch from the pause or chapter forwarding function to normal playback, you may hear the PCM or analog sound an instant before the Dolby Digital signal is played.

•(China and general models only) See page 14 about the qRF (AC-3) input jack.
