Selecting MCACC presets
• Default setting: MEMORY 1
If you have calibrated your system for different listening
positions 1 , you can switch between settings to suit the
kind of source you’re listening to and where you’re sitting
(for example, watching movies from a sofa, or playing a
video game close to the TV).
1 Set the operation selector switch to AMP.
2 While listening to a source, press MCACC.
Press repeatedly to select one of the six MCACC presets 2
or to switch calibration off. See Data Management on
page 50 to check and manage your current settings.
Choosing the input signal
On this amplifier, it is possible to switch the input signals
for the different inputs as described below.

1 Set the operation selector switch to AMP.
2 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 amplifier
selects the first available signal in the following order:
; HDMI; 2 RF; DIGITAL; ANALOG.
• ANALOG – Selects an analog signal.
• DIGITAL – Selects an optical or coaxial digital signal.
• 2 RF – Selects a 2 RF signal. 4
• HDMI – Selects an HDMI signal. 5
• – Selects an i.LINK signal.
• PCM – Only PCM signals are output. 6 The amplifier
selects the first available signal in the following order:
; HDMI; DIGITAL.
Using surround back channel
processing
• Default setting: SBch ON
You can have the amplifier 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 (
 =Sound plays through surround back
speaker(s)).
Note
1 Different presets might also have separate calibration settings for the same listening position, depending on how you’re using your system. These presets
can be set in
Automatically setting up for surround sound (MCACC & Full Band Phase Control) on page 11 or Automatic MCACC (Expert) on page 40, either
of which you should have already completed.
2 • These settings have no effect when headphones are connected.
• You can also press / to select the MCACC preset.
3 • This amplifier can only play back Dolby Digital, PCM (32 kHz to 192 kHz), DTS (including DTS 96 kHz / 24 bit) and WMA9 Pro digital signal formats. The
compatible signals via the HDMI and i.LINK terminals are: Dolby Digital, DTS, WMA 9 Pro, PCM (32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 88.2 kHz and 96 kHz sampling
frequencies), Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus, DTS-EXPRESS, DTS-HD Master Audio, SACD and DVD Audio (including 192 kHz). With other digital signal
formats, set to
ANALOG (the MULTI CH IN, TUNER and PHONO).
• 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 25) 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.
• Even when i.LINK is selected and the i.LINK indicator lights, you won’t hear any sound if the ouput settings of your i.LINK device are off.
• The input signal for unassigned i.LINK-equipped components is fixed to . See
Checking the i.LINK inputs on page 59.

4 Make sure you connect your DVD/LD or LD players using the RF IN jack. If your player has a 2 RF output this will ensure you can use all LDs. Refer to
Connecting your TV and DVD player on page 20.
5 When the
HDMI option in Setting the Audio options on page 99 is set to THROUGH, the sound will be heard through your TV, not from this amplifier.
6 • 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.
