x DEC. XXXX
(Digital audio input decoding priority)
Lets you specify the input mode for the digital signal
input to the DIGITAL IN jacks.

TV/SAT, and "DEC. PCM" for DVD, MD/TAPE 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 SA-CD/CD, etc.) is interrupted
when playback starts, set to "DEC. PCM".
