Playing Your AV Components
This chapter explains how you can play your AV components
through the TX-SR501/TX-SR501E.
See pages 10–19 for information on connecting your AV
components to the TX-SR501/TX-SR501E.
Using Digital Inputs
The digital input assigned to the input source (see page 24)
has priority over that input source’s analog input. To use the
analog input, set the input source’s format to Analog (see the
following section).
The format of the digital input signal appears on the display,
as shown: DOLBY DIGITAL, DTS, DTS-ES, or PCM (ste-
reo).
Other Functions:
See page 32 for functions that you can use while listening to
your AV components.
Listening Modes:
See page 34 for information on the listening modes that you
can use while listening to your AV components.
Remote Controller:
See pages 40, 41 for information on using the TX-SR501/
TX-SR501E’s remote controller to control your other AV
components.
With this function you can choose which signal format (ana-
log or digital) you want to use for AV components that are
connected to a digital input and analog input. When an input
source is assigned to an OPTICAL or COAXIAL digital
input (page 24), the digital input has priority over the corre-
sponding analog input. However, with this function you can
override that and force the TX-SR501/TX-SR501E to use the
analog input. In addition, you can set the DVD input source
to use the multi-channel inputs.
Selecting the Source AV Component
1 Use the following input selector
buttons to select the AV compo-
nent: [DVD], [VIDEO 1], [VIDEO 2],

If you’re using a MiniDisc recorder, you
