Switching ANALOG/DIGITAL Signal Input
This button selects the type of input, ANALOG, DIGITAL or 2 RF, sent to the receiver. 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 hear DOLBY DIGITAL or DTS surround sound material but it would have to be on analog to record from the
ANALOG out jacks on the receiver. The default setting is AUTO which chooses digital when all three are
available but goes with whatever is available if it is the only choice.
1 Press the RECEIVER.
2 Press the SIGNAL SELECT button to
select the input signal
corresponding to the format of the
source component.
Each press switches the signal in the order below:
AUTO ANALOG DIGITAL AC-3RF
3 While SIGNAL SELECT is set to
DIGITAL, AC-3 lights when a Dolby
Digital signal is input, DTS lights
when a DTS signal is input.

• In the AUTO setting, SIGNAL SELECT chooses the signal, based on availability, in the following order: AC-
3 RF, DIGITAL, ANALOG.
• If all the DIGITAL INPUT SELECT (see p.33) choices are set to OFF, the SIGNAL SELECT will default to
ANALOG.
• Because the audio from a karaoke microphone and LDs recorded with analog audio only is not output from
the digital output, set SIGNAL SELECT to ANALOG to listen to these formats.
• This receiver can only play back Dolby Digital, PCM (32kHz, 44kHz, 48kHz, and 96kHz), and DTS digital
signal formats. It cannot play back digital signals other than these so for those kinds of formats you'll have
to play them back in an analog manner (making sure your equipment is hooked up with analog connections
and setting the SIGNAL SELECT 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 p.13) and set SIGNAL SELECT to AUTO.
• Some DVD players don’t output DTS signals. For more details, refer to the instruction manual supplied with
your DVD player.
