Switching ANALOG/DIGITAL Signal Input
This switch moves the input fed to the receiver between analog, digital and AC-3RF (VSX-27TX only) sources . You need
to take special care to switch to the appropriate input, when necessary. For example, the switch would have to be on
digital to use DOLBY DIGITAL or DTS surround sound but it would have to be on analog to record to the analog out
jacks on the receiver. On the VSX-27TX the default setting is AUTO (which chooses digital when all three are available
but goes with whatever is available if it is the only choice) . On the VSX-26/24TX the default setting is ANALOG.

When SIGNAL SELECT is set to DIGITAL, AC-3 lights
when a Dolby Digital signal is input, and DTS lights
when a DTS signal is input
• In the AUTO setting (VSX-27TX only), SIGNAL SELECT chooses the
signal in the following order: AC-3 RF, DIGITAL, ANALOG.
• If the Digital-In Select (see p.34) choices are set to OFF, the SIGNAL
SELECT will default to ANALOG.
• Because the audio from a karaoke microphone and LD recorded
with analog audio only is not output from the digital output, set
SIGNAL SELECT to “ANALOG”.
• This receiver can only play back Dolby Digital, PCM (32kHz, 44kHz,
48kHz, and 96kHz), and DTS digital signal formats. It cannot play
back digital signals other than these so for those kinds of formats
you'll have to play them back in an analog manner (making sure
your equipment is hooked up with analog connections and setting
the SIGNAL SELECT to "ANALOG").
• When an LD or CD with DTS is played back with the SIGNAL
SELECT set in “ANALOG,” digital noise caused by playing back the
DTS directly (with no decoding) is output. To prevent noise, you
need to make digital connections (See p. 10, 11) and set SIGNAL
SELECT to “DIGITAL” (VSX-27TX could also be set to "AUTO").
• Some DVD players don’t output DTS signals. For more details, refer
to the instruction manual supplied with your DVD player.
