These cables transferstereo audio signal in an “analog” form. This means the audio signalcorresponds to the actual audio of two channels. These cables usually have2 plugs on each end, one red for the right channel and one white for the leftchannel. These cables are usually packed together with the source unit, orare available at your local electronics retailer.Notes1. Be sure to insert all connection cords securely. If their connections areimperfect, the sound may not be produced or noise may interfere.2. Be sure to remove the power cord from the AC outlet before plugging orunplugging any connection cords. Plugging/unplugging connection cordswithout disconnecting the power cord can cause malfunctions and maydamage the unit.3. Do not connect power cords from components whose power consump-tion is larger than what is indicated on the AC outlet at the rear of this unit.VIDEO 2/MONITOR jacksThe receiver’s VIDEO 2/MONITOR jacks can be used in two differentways.

For thisreason, when DTS-encoded software is played back through the analogoutputs of the CD, LD, or DVD player, excessive noise will be exhibited.To avoid possible damage to the audio system, proper precautionsshould taken by the consumer if the analog outputs are connecteddirectly to an amplification system. To enjoy DTS Digital Surround™playback, an external 5.1 channel DTS Digital Surround™ decodersystem must be connected to the digital output (S/P DIF, AES/EBU, orTosLink) of the CD, LD or DVD player.DTS disclaimer clauseInput mode settingsCD/DVD, VIDEO2 and DVD/6ch inputs each include jacks for digitalaudio input and analog audio input.You must select beforehand which type of input is to be used for eachconnected component.The initial factory settings for audio signal playback (CD/DVD,DVD/6ch) and (VIDEO2) are digital and analog respectively.To use the analog audio input for playback instead (if, for example, youhave connected a VCR to the VIDEO2 input), you must set the inputmode for the corresponding input to the analog mode.After completing connections and turning on the receiver, follow thesteps below.1 Use the INPUT SELECTOR knob to select CD/DVD, VIDEO2, orDVD/6ch.2 Press the INPUT MODE key.Each press switches the setting as follows:In DTS play mode1 D-AUTO (digital input, auto sound)2 D-MANUAL (digital input, manual sound)In DVD/6ch play mode1 D-AUTO (digital input, auto sound)2 D-MANUAL (digital input, manual sound)3 6ch INPT (DVD/6ch input)4 ANALOG (analog input, manual sound)In modes other than DTS or DVD play mode1 D-AUTO (digital input, auto sound)2 D-MANUAL (digital input, manual sound)3 ANALOG (analog input, manual sound)Digital input:Select this setting to play digital signals from a DVD, CD, or LD player.Analog input:Select this setting to play analog signals from a cassette deck, VCR,or turntable.Auto sound:In the auto sound mode (AUTO SOUND indicator lights), the receiverselects the listening mode automatically during playback to match thetype of input signal (Dolby Digital, PCM, DTS ) and the speaker setting.The initial factory setting is auto sound on.To keep the receiver set to the currently selected listening mode, usethe INPUT MODE key to select “D-MANUAL” (manual sound).However, even when this setting is selected, there may be cases inwhich the listening mode is selected automatically to match a DolbyDigital source signal depending on the combination of listening modeand source signal.If the INPUT MODE key is pressed quickly, sound may not beproduced.INPUT MODEINPUT SELECTOR
