Selecting the type of audio input signal

Press the AUDIO SELECTOR button on the front panel (or AUDIO
SEL button on the remote controller) to change the audio mode.
Each time the button is pressed, the mode changes from "Auto" →
"Multich" (only if DVD is selected as the input source) → "Analog"
and back to "Auto."

SELECTOR
Auto (automatic detection): With this setting, the TX-SR701/
701E/601/601E automatically detects whether the input signal is
digital or analog. When a digital signal is not input, then the analog
signal is played. This setting only appears if a digital input is
selected for the Digital Input setting at "Input Setup" → "Digital
Input" (see page 52).
Multich (Multichannel): Select this setting to play back the multi-
channel input from a DVD player with a 5.1-channel input port.
Analog: Select this setting to play back the input from a source
component connected to analog audio input jacks. With this setting,
even if a digital signal is input from the same component, only the
analog signal will be output.
Selecting the setting mode with the Cursor
while "Auto" appears
Auto: The digital signal suitable for the input signal will be
preceded for playback. When there is no digital signal input, analog
signal will be played.
DTS: Select this if you play DTS-formatted CD in "Auto" mode
and hear noise during fast-forward or rewind operation. Non-DTS
sound input will not be output.
PCM: Select this if you hear sound gap between PCM tracks such
as ones on CD in "Auto" mode. Non-PCM sound input will not be
output.
Notes:
• When you play DTS-formatted CD or LD, be sure to select
"Auto" or "DTS." If you select "PCM," noise will be heard.
• If a DTS signal is not input when "DTS" is selected, the TX-
SR701/701E/601/601E will not automatically switch to analog
output even though "Auto" is selected with the AUDIO
SELECTOR button.

Notes on DTS:
• If you play a DTS-formatted CD or LD when the "PCM"
setting is selected on the TX-SR701/701E/601/601E, the DTS
encoded signal will not be decoded and noise will be output.
This noise could damage the amplifier and speakers. Therefore,
be sure to select "Auto" or "DTS" and use the digital input jacks
(OPT or COAX) to connect the DTS source.
• If you play a DTS-formatted CD or LD when "Auto" is
selected, you may hear a noise for a short while until the DTS
decoder recognizes the DTS-encoded signal and starts
operating. This is not a malfunction.
• If you press the pause or skip button on the player while playing
a DTS source, a short noise may be heard. This is not a
malfunction. In such cases, try playing the source in the "DTS"
selected.
• The DTS indicator on the TX-SR701/701E/601/601E lights
while a DTS source is played. When playback finishes and the
DTS signal transmission stops, the TX-SR701/701E/601/601E
remains in DTS mode and the DTS indicator remains lit. This
prevents noise when you operate the pause or skip button on the
player. Therefore, if the source is immediately switched from
DTS to PCM, the PCM signal may not be played. In this case,
stop the playback of the source on the player for about three
seconds and then resume playback.
• You may not be able to play some DTS source signals from
certain CD players and LD players even when you connect the
player to the TX-SR701/701E/601/601E digitally. This is
because the digital signal has been processed (such as the
output level, sampling frequency, or frequency response) and
the TX-SR701/701E/601/601E cannot recognize the signal as
DTS data. Therefore you may hear noise when you play a DTS
source while processing the signal.
• The outputs for the VIDEO 1 OUT, VIDEO 2 OUT, and TAPE
OUT output analog audio signals. Do not record from CDs or
LDs that support DTS using these outputs. If you do, the DTS-
encoded signal will be recorded as noise.
• If a CD or LD encoded in the DTS format is played back with
"PCM" selected, only noise will be produced. Always select
"Auto" or "DTS" when playing back DTS-encoded sources.
