How Do I Adjust the Sound?

What are input modes?

The input mode should usually be set to Full Auto. However, the input

mode can also be set manually when you want to fix the inputs as ana-

log signals, etc. (see “Switching Input modes” on page 22).

FULL AUTO

: The receiver detects the input signal format auto-

matically and switches itself accordingly. Usually

select this mode.

DIGITAL-AUTO

:

The inputs are fixed at digital signals and the lis-

ten modes are switched automatically.

DIGITAL-MANUAL

:

The inputs are fixed at digital signals and the lis-

ten modes should be switched manually by the

user.

The

DIGITAL-AUTO

and

DIGITAL-MANUAL

modes are switched automatically to the

FULL

AUTO

mode when an input is switched or the re-

ceiver is set to

OFF

.

ANALOG

: The inputs are fixed at the analog 2-channel in-

puts.

6CH INPUT

: The inputs are fixed at the analog 6-channel in-

puts. This mode can be selected only when the DVD

input is selected with the input selector.
