This mode can be selected for allinput sources other than PHONO and TUNER.The presence or absence of digital signals is detected, the signalsinput to the digital input jacks are identified and decoding andplayback are performed automatically in DTS, Dolby Digital orPCM (2 channel stereo) format. If no digital signal is being input,the analog input jacks are selected.Use this mode to play Dolby Digital signals.w PCM (exclusive PCM signal playback mode)Decoding and playback are only performed when PCM signals arebeing input.Note that noise may be generated when using this mode to playsignals other than PCM signals.e DTS (exclusive DTS signal playback mode)Decoding and playback are only performed when DTS signals arebeing input.r RF (exclusive RF signal playback mode)This can only be selected when the program source is set to VDP.Decording and playback are only performed when RF signals arebeing input. This is used when the LD player has an Dolby Digital-RF (AC-3RF) output jack, but does not have a PCM digital outputjack.t ANALOG (exclusive analog audio signal playback mode)The signals input to the analog input jacks are decoded andplayed.y EXT. IN (external decoder input jack selection mode)The signals being input to the external decoder input jacks areplayed without passing through the surround circuitry.NOTE:• Note that noise will be output when CDs or LDs recorded in DTSformat are played in the “PCM” or “ANALOG” mode. Select the“DTS” mode when playing signals recorded in DTS from a laserdisc player or CD player.Note on playing a source encorded with DTS• Noise may be generated at the beginning of playback andwhile searching during DTS playback in the AUTO mode. Ifso, play in the DTS mode.
