Switching i.LINK/ANALOG/DIGITAL Signal Input
This button selects the type of input signal, i.LINK, ANALOG, DIGITAL or 2 RF, sent to the amplifier. You need
to take special care to switch to the appropriate input when necessary. For example, DIGITAL has to be selected
to hear DOLBY DIGITAL, MPEG or DTS surround sound material and i.LINK has to be selected to hear an audio
signal from an i.LINK-equipped component. The default setting is AUTO which selects i.LINK, 2 RF, DIGITAL
and then ANALOG, in that order, depending on what inputs are available.
1 Press the SIGNAL SELECT button on
the SUB screen.
Each press switches the signal in the order below:
AUTO ANALOG DIGITAL i.LINK 2RF
memo
• In the AUTO setting, amplifier chooses the signal, based on availability, in the following order of priority:
i.LINK, 2 RF, DIGITAL, ANALOG.
• Even when i.LINK is selected, if the source output settings are set to OFF, no sound is output.
• When a digital signal is selected,
DIGITAL lights when a Dolby Digital signal is input; lights when
a DTS signal is input.
• Because the audio signal from a karaoke microphone and LDs are recorded with analog audio only, they are
not output from the digital outputs. Set SIGNAL SELECT to ANALOG to listen to these formats.
• When an LD with DTS is played back with the SIGNAL SELECT set in ANALOG, digital noise caused by
playing back the DTS signal directly (with no decoding) is output. To prevent noise, you need to make digital
connections (See p.24 & 25) and set SIGNAL SELECT to AUTO, DIGITAL or i.LINK.
• Some DVD players don’t output DTS signals. For more details, refer to the instruction manual supplied with
your DVD player.
• When using DIGITAL IN terminals the following digital signal formats are supported: Dolby Digital, MPEG,
DTS and PCM (32, 44.1, 48, 88.2 and 96 kHz sampling frequencies). When using i.LINK connectors the
following digital formats are supported: DVD-A (including 192 kHz), SACD and those suppored when using
DIGITAL IN terminals. If your souce is not one of these supported types, select ANALOG for playback.
• Make sure you connect your DVD/LD or LD players using the 2 RF jack. If your player has a 2 RF output
this will ensure you can use all LDs. Refer to p.19.
