Switching Analog and Digital Signal Input
This switch moves the input fed to the receiver between analog and digital 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, DTS or MPEG surround sound but it would have to be on ANALOG to record to the
analog out jacks on the receiver. The default setting is AUTO (priority is given to a digital signal, if there is one).
1 For the VSX-859RDS set the slide switch on
the remote control to USE.
For the VSX-839RDS press RECEIVER.
2 Press the SIGNAL SELECT button to select
the input signal corresponding to the
source component.
Each press switches the signal in the order below:
AUTO ANALOG
DIGITAL ( 2 RF) VSX-859RDS only
3 If SIGNAL SELECT is
set to DIGITAL, 2
DIGITAL lights when
a Dolby Digital
signal is input; DTS
lights when a DTS
signal is input;
MPEG lights when a
MPEG signal is
input.
• In the AUTO setting, SIGNAL SELECT gives priority to the signal in
the following order:
2 RF (VSX-859RDS only), DIGITAL, ANALOG.
• If the Digital-In Select (see p. 33) 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 playback Dolby Digital, PCM (32kHz, 44kHz,
48kHz, and 96kHz), DTS and MPEG digital signal formats. If you
have some equipment that outputs digital audio in a format other
than these you'll have to connect and playback via the receiver's
analog inputs (make sure that SIGNAL SELECT is set 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 pages 13 – 15) and set
SIGNAL SELECT to DIGITAL or AUTO.
• Some DVD players don’t output DTS signals. For more details,
refer to the instruction manual supplied with your DVD player.
• The levels between analog and digital sources may vary so be
careful with volume levels when switching between these two.
