Settings - 

Test

Change these settings to suit the connections you have made to the
optical (OPT) and coaxial (COAX) digital input terminals. (

á

pages 4, 5, 9

and 10)
You can only allocate one piece of equipment per terminal.

This unit automatically detects whether input is digital or analog, but you
can fix the input mode. Select “

AUTO 

” when it is not necessary to fix the

signal.

Note regarding PCM FIX mode

In rare cases, the unit may have trouble recognizing the digital signals on discs. 
With the PCM signals on CDs, this may cause the beginning of a track to
be cut off. Engage the PCM FIX mode if this occurs. 
When PCM FIX mode is on, the unit cannot process other signals. This
may cause noise to be output. Select another mode in this case. 
• This setting is not necessary when playback is normal.
• When an input position is set to PCM FIX, and the input signals are not

from a PCM source, “

PCM FIX 

” flashes on the display.

Check that sound is output from the connected 
speakers.

• Adjust so output level from each speaker is balanced with the

output level from the front speakers.

L: Front left

 C: Center

 R: Front right 

RS: Surround right

 LS: Surround left 

SBL: Surround back left 

 SBR: Surround back right
