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, DTS 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 39 for details.)
■
AUTO
In this mode, the input signal is selected in the following
order of priority:
1. Digital signal encoded with Dolby Digital or DTS
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.
■
DTS
In this mode, only a digital signal encoded with DTS is
selected, even if other signals are being input at the same
time.
■
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 or DTS, 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, PHONO and VIDEO 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.
