26BASIC PLAYBACKInput Modes and IndicationsThis unit comes with various input jacks. You can set thepriority of the input signal among different types of inputsignals.When you turn on the power of this unit, the input modeis set according to “8 INPUT MODE” on the SET MENU(see page 57 for details).Press INPUT MODE (the input selectorbutton that you have pressed to select theinput source on the remote control)repeatedly until the desired input mode isshown on the front panel display.AUTO: In this mode, the input signal isautomatically selected in the followingorder:1) Dolby Digital or DTS signal2) Digital (PCM) signal3) Analog signalDTS: In this mode, only the digital input signalencoded with DTS is selected even ifanother signal is input at the same time.ANALOG: In this mode, only the analog input signal isselected even if a digital signal is input atthe same time.Notes• If digital signals are input from both the COAXIAL andOPTICAL jacks, the digital signal from the COAXIAL jackhas precedence over the OPTICAL jack.• When AUTO is selected, this unit automatically determines thetype of signal. If this unit detects a Dolby Digital or DTSsignal, the decoder automatically switches to the appropriatesetting.• In playing the disc encoded with Dolby Digital or DTS onsome LD or DVD players, the sound output delays for amoment when playback resumes after a search because thedigital signal is selected again.• When playing the LD source that has not been digitallyrecorded, the sound may not be output for some LD players. Inthis case, set the input mode to ANALOG.INPUT MODEL RVCR DVD TUNER CD PHONOCD RV AUX 1SPVCR2/DVR CBL/SAT MD / TAPETV / LD VOLUMEDA D V D A U T OPHONOCDDVDVCR2/DVRVCR 1D-TV/LD CBL/SATCD-RMD/TAPETUNERV-AUXRemote controlFront panelorInput mode Notes on the digital signalThe digital input jacks of this unit can also handle96-kHz sampling digital signals. (To utilize this, use asource that supports 96-kHz sampling digital signals andset the player for digital output. Refer to the operationinstructions for the player.) Note the following when a 96-kHz sampling digital signal is input to this unit:– DSP programs cannot be selected. Sound will be outputas normal 2-channel stereo sound from only the left andright main speakers.Note• If “1B MAIN SP” on the SET MENU is set to SMALL and“1E LFE/BASS OUT” is set to SWFR, or “1E LFE/BASSOUT” is set to BOTH, the sound is also output from thesubwoofer.– “Adjusting the Level of the Effect Speakers” describedon page 61 cannot be made. Notes on playing DTS-CD/LDs• If the digital output data of the player has beenprocessed in any way, you may not be able to performDTS decoding even if you make a digital connectionbetween this unit and the player.• If you play a source encoded with a DTS signal andset the input mode to ANALOG, this unit mayreproduce the noise of an unprocessed DTS signal. Inthis case, connect the source to a digital input jack andset the input mode to AUTO or DTS.• If you switch the input mode to ANALOG whileplaying a source encoded with a DTS signal, this unitreproduces no sound.• If you play a source encoded with a DTS signal withthe input mode set to AUTO;– This unit automatically switches to the DTS-decoding mode (The “t” indicator lights up.)after having detected the DTS signal. When playbackof the DTS source is completed, the “t” indicatormay flash. While this indicator is flashing, only DTSsource can be played. If you want to play a normalPCM source soon, set the input mode back to AUTO.– The “t” indicator may flash when a search orskip operation is performed while the DTS source isplaying back with the input mode set to AUTO. Ifthis status continues for longer than 30 seconds, thisunit will automatically switch from “DTS-decoding”mode to PCM digital signal input mode. The “t”indicator will turn off.
