■Notes :
Only when the digital input is selected as signal input for the
input sources except PHONO, TUNER and AUX, the

■Notes:
When the selected decoding mode is not matched to the input signal format, the indicator of the signal being input flickers,
meaning the required process cannot be performed and no sound is heard. Therefore, be sure to select the required
decoding mode and the available surround mode according to the input signal format.
