ADVANCED OPERATIONS
2
Press INPUT repeatedly until the desired
input mode is shown in the front panel
display.
AUTO
Automatically selects input signals in
the following order:
1) Digital signals*
2) Analog signals
DTS
Selects only digital signals encoded in
DTS. If no DTS signals are input, no
sound is output.
ANALOG
Selects only analog signals. If no
analog signals are input, no sound is
output.
* If this unit detects a Dolby Digital or DTS signal, the
decoder automatically switches to the appropriate sound
field program.
y
You can adjust the default input mode this unit selects when the
power is turned on with the SETTING parameter in INPUT
MODE (see page 44).
• When the SETTING parameter in INPUT MODE is set to
“FIX”, you cannot switch the input mode by pressing INPUT
(see page 44).
• When playing a disc encoded with Dolby Digital or DTS on
some LD or DVD players, there is a delay in sound output for a
moment when playback resumes after a search, because the unit
must select the digital signal again.
• When playing an LD source that has not been digitally
recorded, the unit may not output any sound for some LD
players. In this case, set the input mode to Analog.
• If you attempt to search (forward or backward) during playback
of a DTS-encoded disc, noise may occur periodically. If this
happens, set the input mode to DTS.
• When you play DTS-encoded CD/LDs with the input mode set
to AUTO, this unit automatically switches to the DTS decoding
mode. The unit remains in DTS mode (and the
t
indicator
may flash) for a few seconds after playback of the DTS source
is complete. To manually release the DTS mode, press INPUT
MODE to reselect AUTO.
• If the digital output data of the player has been processed in any
way, you may not be able to perform DTS decoding even if you
make a digital connection between this unit and the player.
