Source Selection

Most of the time you may find it convenient to select a source by
pressing its Source Selector on the remote. See Figure 51.
Pressing a Source Selector not only selects that source as the HS 300's
input, but also turns on the HS 300 if it is in Standby mode, and switches
the remote to the mode that operates the source.
NOTE: Press the Mode button on the remote to switch it to
operate another device without changing the source selection
for the HS 300. See Figure 55.

When the source is selected, the HS 300 will make the following
selections as appropriate to the source:
1. For the TV and D-IN sources, the HS 300 will select the correct
analog or digital audio input. See Step Six of the Initial Setup
section for more information on configuring the audio input.
2. For all sources, the HS 300 will select the correct audio, or
surround sound, mode. The Audio Mode setting is adjusted using
the Source submenu for the RADIO, TV, AUX and D-IN sources.
OPERATION
The adjustment is called DVD Sound Mode for the Disc Player, and
is adjusted using the System Audio Setup submenu. There is no
surround sound processing available for materials on USB devices,
and they are always played in their original formats.
3. For the TV, AUX and D-IN sources, the HS 300 will adjust the audio
level (volume) for that source only, based on the setting in the
Source submenu.
NOTE: Pressing the Open/Close button always causes the
HS 300 to select the Disc Player as the source.
The following sections describe the operation of the internal disc player
and tuner, as well as the other sources.
