PLAYING A SOURCE

Input Mode (for the DVD/LD and TV/ digital TV and satellite tuner sources)

This unit allows you to switch the input mode for sources that send both digital and analog signals to this unit. The AUTO, DTS and ANALOG input modes are provided.

When you turn on the power of this unit, the input mode for the DVD/LD source is always set to AUTO and for TV/ digital TV or satellite tuner source is set according to “SAT INPUT” in the SET MENU. (Refer to page 39 for details.)

AUTO

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

1.Digital signal encoded with Dolby Digital or DTS

2.Normal digital signal (PCM)

3.Analog signal (ANALOG)

Note

If digital signals are input from both the OPTICAL and COAXIAL terminals, the digital signal from the COAXIAL terminal is selected.

DTS

In this mode, only a digital signal encoded with DTS is selected, even if other signals are being input at the same time.

ANALOG

In this mode, only an analog signal is selected, even if a digital signal is being input at the same time. Select this mode when you want to use an analog signal instead of a digital signal.

Switching the input mode

Press INPUT MODE (or 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 display.

Notes

Set the input mode to AUTO to play a DVD/LD source encoded with Dolby Digital.

Set the input mode to ANALOG to play a normal 2-channel source with a Dolby Surround program.

The sound output may be interrupted for some LD and DVD players in the following situation: The input mode is set to AUTO. A search is performed while playing the disc encoded with Dolby Digital or DTS, and then disc playing is restored. The sound output is interrupted for a moment because the digital signal was selected again.

The input mode cannot be changed for the CD, TUNER, TAPE/ MD, VCR, PHONO and VIDEO AUX sources because only analog signals are used for these.

The current input mode appears on the display when the DVD/ LD, TV/digital TV or satellite tuner source is selected or the input mode is changed.
