INTRODUCTION PREPARATION BASIC OPERATION ADVANCED OPERATION Input Modes and Indications When using the remote control, press AMP(TUNER) on the component selector. This unit comes with various input jacks. If your component is connected to more than one type of input jack, you can set the priority of the input signal. 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. INPUT MODE Front panel or Remote control Input mode AUTO: In this mode, the input signal is automatically selected in the following order: 1) Dolby Digital or DTS signal 2) Digital (PCM) signal 3) Analog signal DTS: In this mode, only the digital input signal encoded with DTS is selected even if another signal is input at the same time. ANALOG (ANLG): In this mode, only the analog input signal is selected even if a digital signal is input at the same time. Notes • If digital signals are input from both the COAXIAL and OPTICAL jacks, the digital signal from the COAXIAL jack is selected. • When AUTO is selected, this unit automatically determines the type of signal. If this unit detects a Dolby Digital or DTS signal, the decoder automatically switches to the appropriate setting and reproduces 5.1 channel source. • The sound output may be interrupted for some LD players and DVD players in the following situation: When the input mode has been set to AUTO and a search is performed while playing the source encoded with a Dolby Digital or DTS signal, the sound may delay for a moment when playback is resumed. • Depending on the LD player, playback may not be made when playing an LD that is not digitally recorded with the input mode set to AUTO. If this happens, set the input mode to ANALOG. PLAYING A SOURCE I Notes on playing a source encoded with a DTS signal • 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. • If you play a source encoded with a DTS signal and set the input mode to ANALOG, this unit reproduces the noise of an unprocessed DTS signal. When you want to play a DTS source, be sure to connect the source to a digital input jack and set the input mode to AUTO or DTS. • If you switch the input mode to ANALOG while playing a source encoded with a DTS signal, this unit reproduces no sound. • The following phenomena may occur if the input mode is set to AUTO when playing back a source encoded with DTS: - If you continue to play a source encoded with a DTS signal, this unit automatically switches to the "DTSdecoding" mode to prevent noise from being generated during subsequent operation. (The "t" indicator lights up on the display.) The "t" indicator may flash immediately after playback of a source encoded with a DTS signal has finished. Only a source encoded with a DTS signal can be played back while this indicator is flashing. (The indicator will flash for less than a minute.) If you want to play a normal PCM source soon, set the input mode back to AUTO. - The "t" indicator may flash when a search or skip operation is performed. If this status continues for a certain length of time, the unit will automatically switch from the "DTS-decoding" mode to PCM digital signal input mode and the "t" indicator will go out.
