Notes • This parameter is valid only in the A.F.D. mode (page 30). In other sound fields, this parameter is always set to "96 OFF". • DTS 96/24 decoding is valid only in the A.F.D. mode (page 30). When the system is set to other sound fields, standard 48 kHz decoding is used. • Even when a DTS 96/24 signal is input, standard 48 kHz decoding is used if any speakers are set to "SMALL" or if the sub woofer is set to "NO". x SB XXXX (Surround back decoding mode) You can also press SURR BACK DECODING to set the surround back decoding mode (page 34). For details on each decoding mode, see page 35. • OFF • AUTO • ON Note This parameter is valid only in the A.F.D. mode except for Dolby Pro Logic IIx mode (page 30). x A.V.SYNC. X (Time alignment) • Y (Yes) (Delay time: 68 ms) The audio output is delayed so that the time gap between the audio output and visual display is minimized. • N (No) (Delay time: 0 ms) The audio output is not delayed. Notes • This parameter is useful when you use a large LCD or plasma monitor or a projection TV. • This parameter is valid only when you use a sound field selected with the 2CH or A.F.D. buttons. • This parameter is not valid when - PCM 96 kHz, DTS 96/24 or DTS 2048 signals are input. - the receiver performing DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 decoding. - MULTI CH IN function is selected. x DEC. XXXX (Digital audio input decoding priority) Lets you specify the input mode for the digital signal input to the DIGITAL IN jacks. The initial setting is "DEC. AUTO" for VIDEO 2 and "DEC. PCM" for DVD and SA-CD/CD. • AUTO Automatically switches the input mode between DTS, Dolby Digital, or PCM. • PCM PCM signals are given priority (to prevent the interruption when playback starts). Even when other signals are input, the sound is output. However, this receiver cannot decode DTS-CD when set to "DEC. PCM". Note When set to "DEC. AUTO" and the sound from the digital audio jacks (for CD, etc.) is interrupted when playback starts, set to "DEC. PCM". continued 39GB Advanced Adjustments and Settings
