Input mode

 

AUTO:

In this mode, the input signal is selected

 

automatically as follows:

 

 

 

 

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

•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 playing a 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 a 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.

BASIC PLAYBACK

■Notes on 96-kHz sampling digital signals

The digital input jacks of this unit can handle 96-kHz sampling digital signals. Note the following when 96-kHz sampling digital signal is input to this unit:

–DSP programs cannot be selected.

–Sound will be output as 2-channel stereo from only the main left and right speakers. (There may be sound output from the subwoofer depending on the SPEAKER MODE settings on the SET MENU.) Therefore, the level of the effect speakers cannot be adjusted while listening to such a source.

■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 may reproduce the noise of an unprocessed DTS signal. In this case, 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.

–When the input mode is set to AUTO and a search or skip operation is performed during playback of a DTS source, the “t” indicator may flash. 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.
