Lets you specify the input mode for the digital
signal input to the DIGITAL IN and HDMI IN
jacks.
• AUTO
Automatically switches the input mode
between DTS, Dolby Digital, or PCM.
• PCM

In this case, set this item to "AUTO."
When signals from the HDMI IN jack are
selected, only PCM signals are output from
the connected player. When signals in any
