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.

Notes
• The indicator lights when “ dts Fix” is selected, and goes off when a digital signal encoded with DTS is not input in the “ Auto Mode” setting.
•The setting of the input mode returns to “ Auto mode” when the power of the control center is turned off.
•When playing a source encoded with DTS, be sure to connect the player to the DIGITAL 1 or DIGITAL 2 input terminal of the control center with an optical fiber cable.
•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.
CAUTION
The variable sound intensity range is large when playing back a CD or MD. So, if the source that includes the sudden change from a small sound level to large one is played back at a maximum volume for a long time, the speakers may be damaged.
