• When digital input (optical or coaxial) is selected, this
receiver can only play back Dolby Digital, PCM (32 kHz to
96 kHz) and DTS (including DTS 96 kHz/24 bit) digital
signal formats. The compatible signals via the HDMI
terminals are: Dolby Digital, DTS, SACD (DSD 2 ch only),
PCM (32 kHz to 192 kHz sampling frequencies), Dolby
TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus, DTS-EXPRESS, DTS-HD
Master Audio and DVD Audio (including 192 kHz). With
other digital signal formats, set to
A (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 connections
(page 13) and set the signal input to
C1/O1/O2 (digital).
• Some DVD players don’t output DTS signals. For more
details, refer to the instruction manual supplied with your
DVD player.
Listening to the radio
The following steps show you how to tune in to FM and AM
radio broadcasts using the automatic (search) and manual

can memorize the frequency for recall later—see Saving
station presets below for more on how to do this.

Each press switches the band between FM (stereo or mono)
and AM.

Tune to a station.
There are three ways to do this:
Automatic tuning

press and hold
TUNE
/ for about a second. The
receiver will start searching for the next station, stopping
when it has found one. Repeat to search for other
stations.
Manual tuning
To change the frequency one step at a time, press
TUNE
/.
High speed tuning
Press and hold
TUNE
/ for high speed tuning.
Release the button at the frequency you want.
Improving FM sound
If the
TUNE or ST indicators don’t light when tuning to an FM
station because the signal is weak, set the receiver to the
mono reception mode.
Press BAND to select FM MONO.
This should improve the sound quality and allow you to enjoy
the broadcast.
