Notes on using INPUT

•The audio source selected by INPUT will not be played if the “TAPE/MD MON” indicator lights up or if “EXT. DECDR” is displayed.

•If you select a video source by INPUT without canceling the selection of TAPE/MD MON / EXT. DECODER on the front panel (or TAPE/MD or EXT. DEC. on the remote control), the play back result will be a video image from the video source and the sound from the audio source selected by TAPE/MD MON / EXT. DECODER on the front panel (or TAPE/MD or EXT. DEC. on the remote control).

•If an audio source is selected by INPUT while watching a video source, the selected audio source will be played, but the video image will not be interrupted.

•When you select an input source by INPUT, the DSP program (or no DSP program) that was being used when the same input source was selected the last time will be auto- matically recalled.

•If “DATA ERR” appears on the display while playing a CD or LD encoded with DTS, stop playback and turn the player off and then on again.

Switching the input mode (for DVD/LD and TV/DBS)

This unit allows you to switch the input mode for sources that send two or more types of signal to this unit.

The following three input modes are provided.

AUTO

This mode is automatically selected when you turn on the power of this unit.

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

1.Digital signal encoded with Dolby Digital or DTS, or normal digital input signal (PCM)

2.Analog input signal (ANALOG)

*For a DVD/LD source, 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 input signal encoded with DTS is selected, even though other signals are input at the same time.

ANALOG

In this mode, only an analog input signal is selected, even though digital signals are input at the same time.

Select this mode when you want to use an analog input signal instead of digital input signals.

Notes on input mode selection

•The input mode for a TV/DBS source is selected with the function “INPUT” in the SET MENU mode. (See page 42 for details.)

•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 in some LD and DVD players in the following situation:

The input mode is set to AUTO. A search is made 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 input signal was selected again.

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

•The present input mode appears on the display when the input source is changed to DVD/LD or TV/DBS, or the input mode is changed.

Notes on playing a source encoded with DTS

If you play a CD or LD encoded with DTS while the AUTO mode is selected, there will be a short noise at first while the unit identifies the DTS signal and activates the DTS decoder. This is not a malfunction, and can be avoided by setting the input mode to DTS beforehand. In addition, If you continue to play a CD or LD encoded with DTS with the input mode setting left at AUTO, this unit automatically switches to the “DTS-decoding” mode to prevent noise from being gener- ated during future operation. (The red “dts” indicator lights up on the display.)

No sound will be heard if a normal PCM CD or LD is played in this mode. (The red “dts” indicator will flash.) To play a normal disk, return the input mode from DTS to AUTO.
