Input Mode (for the DVD/LD and TV/
digital TV and satellite tuner
sources)
This unit allows you to switch the input mode for sources
that send both digital and analog signals to this unit. The
AUTO and ANALOG input modes are provided.
When you turn on the power of this unit, the input mode for
the DVD/LD source is always set to AUTO and for TV/
digital TV or satellite tuner source is set according to “SAT
INPUT” in the SET MENU. (Refer to page 37 for details.)
■
AUTO
In this mode, the input signal is selected in the following
order of priority:
1. Digital signal encoded with Dolby Digital
2. Normal digital signal (PCM)
3. Analog signal (ANALOG)
Note
• If digital signals are input from both the OPTICAL and
COAXIAL terminals, the digital signal from the COAXIAL
terminal is selected.
■
ANALOG
In this mode, only an analog signal is selected, even if a
digital signal is being input at the same time. Select this
mode when you want to use an analog signal instead of a
digital signal.

Switching the input mode
Press INPUT MODE (or the input selector
button that you have pressed to select the
input source on the remote control) repeatedly
until the desired input mode is shown on the
display.
Notes
• Set the input mode to AUTO to play a DVD/LD source encoded
with Dolby Digital.
• Set the input mode to ANALOG to play a normal 2-channel
source with a Dolby Surround program.
• The sound output may be interrupted for some LD and DVD
players in the following situation: The input mode is set to
AUTO. A search is performed while playing the disc encoded
with Dolby Digital, and then disc playing is restored. The sound
output is interrupted for a moment because the digital signal was
selected again.
• The input mode cannot be changed for the CD, TUNER, TAPE/
MD, VCR and AUX sources because only analog signals are used
for these.
• The current input mode appears on the display when the DVD/
LD, TV/digital TV or satellite tuner source is selected or the input
mode is changed.
■
Notes on playing an LD source
• Some audio/video component, such as LD player, output different
audio signals through their analog and digital terminals. Change
the input mode as necessary.
• If the input mode is set to AUTO for the LD source, this unit
automatically determines which type of signal the LD source
contains. If this unit detects a Dolby Digital signal, the decoder
automatically switches to the appropriate setting and reproduces
5.1 channel sound.
• If the LD player is transmitting signals by a non-normal method,
this unit cannot detect the Dolby Digital signal. In this case, the
decoder automatically switches to PCM or analog.
• If the LD source does not contain a digital soundtrack, connect
the LD player to the analog terminals.
• While you are operating the LD player, if you switch from the
pause or chapter forwarding function to normal playback, you
may hear the PCM or analog sound an instant before the Dolby
Digital sound is played.
