OPERATING THE UNIT

Switching the input mode

This function allows you to switch the input mode of the component connected to the DIGITAL 1 or DIGITAL 2 terminal to “ Auto Mode” or “ dts Fix” .

Auto Mode : This recognizes the PCM signal such as a CD, Dolby digital signal or DTS signal automatically.

dts Fix : This fixes to a DTS signal.

Normally, the playback can be performed with the “ Auto Mode” . If you play a CD encoded with DTS in the “ Auto Mode” setting, there will be a short noise at first while the unit recognizes the DTS signal and turns on the DTS decoder. This is not a malfunction and can be avoided by setting the input mode to “ dts Fix” beforehand. When you play and stop a CD encoded with DTS in the “ Auto Mode” setting, the sound is muted even if you play the PCM signal

such as a normal CD and the indicator flashes for about 30 seconds. However, this condition is released after about 30 seconds.
