Choosing the input signal

You need to hook up a component to both analog and
digital inputs on the receiver to select between input

signals.

Press

SIGNAL SEL (SIGNAL SELECT

) to select the

input signal corresponding to the source component.

Each press cycles through the options as follows:

AUTO

– This is the default setting. The receiver

selects the first available signal in the following
order:

DIGITAL

;

ANALOG

.

ANALOG

– Selects an analog signal.

Using surround back channel processing

• Default setting:

SBch ON

You can have the receiver automatically use 6.1 or 7.1
decoding for 6.1 encoded sources (for example, Dolby
Digital EX or DTS-ES), or you can choose to always use
6.1 or 7.1 decoding (for example, with 5.1 encoded
material). With 5.1 encoded sources, a surround back
channel will be generated, but the material may sound
better in the 5.1 format for which it was originally
encoded (in which case, you can simply switch surround
back channel processing off).

The table below indicates when you will hear the
surround back channel when playing various kinds of
sources. (

speaker(s))

Press

SBch

(SBch PROCESSING) repeatedly to cycle

the surround back channel options.

Each press cycles through the options as follows:

SBch ON

– 6.1 or 7.1 decoding is always used (for

example, a surround back channel will be generated
for 5.1 encoded material)

SBch AUTO

– Automatically switches to 6.1 or 7.1

decoding for 6.1 encoded sources (for example,
Dolby Digital EX or DTS-ES)

SBch OFF

– Maximum 5.1 playback

Using the Virtual Surround Back mode

When you’re not using surround back speakers,
selecting this mode allows you to hear a virtual surround
back channel through your surround speakers. You can
choose to listen to sources with no surround back
channel information, or if the material sounds better in
the format (for example, 5.1) for which it was originally
encoded, you can have the receiver only apply this effect

to 6.1 encoded sources like Dolby Digital EX or DTS-ES.

Press

SBch

(SBch PROCESSING) repeatedly to cycle

the virtual surround back channel options.

Each press cycles through the options as follows:

VirtualSB ON

– Virtual Surround Back is always used

(for example, on 5.1 encoded material)

VirtualSB AUTO

– Virtual Surround Back is

automatically applied to 6.1 encoded sources (for
example, Dolby Digital EX or DTS-ES)

Note

1 • This receiver can only play back Dolby Digital, PCM (32 kHz to 96 kHz), DTS (including DTS 96 kHz/24 bit) and WMA9 Pro digital signal formats. With
other digital signal formats, set to

ANALOG

(the

MULTI CH IN

,

TUNER

and

iPod

functions are all fixed to

ANALOG

).

• You may get digital noise when a LD or CD player compatible with DTS is playing an analog signal. To prevent noise, make the proper digital connec-

tions (page 15) and set the signal input to

DIGITAL

.

• Some DVD players don’t output DTS signals. For more details, refer to the instruction manual supplied with your DVD player.

2 When the

HDMI

option in

Setting the AV options

on page 61 is set to

THROUGH

, the sound will be heard through your TV, not from this receiver.

3 • This is useful if you find there is a slight delay before

AUTO

recognizes the PCM signal on a CD, for instance.

• When

PCM

is selected, noise may be output during playback of non-PCM sources. Please select another input signal if this is a problem.
