Choosing the input signal

On this receiver, it is possible to switch the
input signals for the different inputs as
described below.

Press SIGNAL SEL to select the input signal

corresponding to the source component.
When

DIGITAL (C1/O1/O2) is selected and the

selected audio input is not provided,

A (analog)

is automatically selected.

Each press cycles through the following:

A – Selects the analog inputs.

DIGITAL – Selects the digital input. The
coaxial 1 input is selected for

C1, and the

optical 1 or 2 audio input is selected for
O1 or O2.

When set to

DIGITAL, 2 D lights when a

Dolby Digital signal is input, and

DTS lights

when a DTS signal is input.

Auto playback

automatically detects what kind of source
you’re playing and selects multichannel or
stereo playback as necessary.

Press repeatedly until

shows briefly in the display (it will then show
the decoding or playback format). Check the
digital format indicators in the display to see
how the source is being processed.

Listening in surround sound

Using this receiver, you can listen to any source
in surround sound. However, the options
available will depend on your speaker setup and
the type of source you’re listening to.

While listening to a source, press

STANDARD.
If the source is Dolby Digital, DTS, or Dolby
Surround encoded, the proper decoding
format will automatically be selected and
shows in the display.

Note

1 • 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. 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 18) 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.
