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.

1

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.

DIGITAL

– Selects an optical or coaxial digital signal.

When set to

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. (

channel options.

Each press cycles through the options as follows:

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.

then press

back channel options.

Each press cycles through the options as follows:

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

and

TUNER

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.
