Input Modes and Indications

This unit comes with various input jacks. You can set the priority of the input signal among different types of input signals.

When you turn on the power of this unit, the input mode is set according to “8 INPUT MODE” on the SET MENU (see page 68 for details).

Press (INPUT) MODE (the input selector button that you have pressed to select the input source on the remote control) repeatedly until the desired input mode is shown on the front panel display and on the video monitor.

Input mode

 

AUTO:

In this mode, the input signal is

 

 

 

automatically selected in the following

 

order:

 

 

 

 

 

 

1) Digital signal

 

2) Analog signal

DTS:

In this mode, only the digital input signal

 

encoded with DTS is selected even if

 

another signal is input at the same time.

ANALOG:

In this mode, only the analog input signal is

 

selected even if a digital signal is input at

 

the same time.

Notes

If digital signals are input from both the COAXIAL and OPTICAL jacks, the digital signal from the COAXIAL jack has precedence over the OPTICAL jack.

In playing the disc encoded with Dolby Digital or DTS on some LD or DVD players, the sound output delays for a moment when playback resumes after a search because the digital signal is selected again.

When playing the LD source that has not been digitally recorded, the sound may not be output for some LD players. In this case, set the input mode to ANALOG.

y

When AUTO is selected, this unit automatically determines the type of signal. If this unit detects a Dolby Digital or DTS signal, the decoder automatically switches to the appropriate setting.

When you turn on the power of this unit, the input mode is set according to “8 INPUT MODE” on the SET MENU (see page 68 for details).

BASIC PLAYBACK

Notes on the digital signal

The digital input jacks of this unit can handle up to a

96 kHz sampling digital signal. However when inputting a higher digital signal than 48 kHz, be aware of the following points.

Sound effect will be added to the signals after converting the sampling frequency to 48 kHz or below.

When the sound effect is turned off by pressing STEREO/ EFFECT, this unit reproduces sound in 2-channel stereo at the sampling frequency of the input signal.

Notes on playing DTS-CD/LDs

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 with the input mode set to AUTO;

This unit automatically switches to the DTS- decoding mode (The “t” indicator lights up.) after having detected the DTS signal. When playback of the DTS source is completed, the “t” indicator may flash. While this indicator is flashing, only DTS source can be played. If you want to play a normal PCM source soon, set the input mode back to AUTO.

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