Switching Analog/Digital Signal Input - Pioneer Elite VSX-43TX Operating Instructions Manual

Basic Operation

Switching ANALOG/DIGITAL Signal Input

This button selects the type of input signal, ANALOG or DIGITAL, sent to the receiver. You need to take special
care to switch to the appropriate input when necessary. For example, the switch would have to be on DIGITAL
to hear Dolby Digital or DTS surround sound material but it would have to be on analog to record from the
ANALOG out jacks on the receiver. The default setting is AUTO (which chooses digital over analog when both
are available but goes with whatever is available) for: DVD/LD, TV/SAT, VIDEO, CD, CDR/TAPE1. The default
setting is ANALOG for: VCR1/DVR, VCR2, MD/TAPE2, TUNER and LINE.

SELECT on the front panel) button to
select the input signal corresponding
to the format of the source
component.
Each press switches the signal in the order below:
AUTO ANALOG
memo
• When DIGITAL signal is selected, 2 DIGITAL lights
when a Dolby Digital signal is input; DTS lights when a
DTS signal is input.
• If no digital inputs are assigned (see page 76) you can
only choose ANALOG in the SIGNAL SELECT.
• Because the audio signal from a karaoke microphone
and LDs are recorded with analog audio only, they are
not output from the digital outputs. Set SIGNAL
SELECT to ANALOG to listen to these formats.
• When an LD with DTS is played back with the SIGNAL
SELECT set in ANALOG, digital noise caused by playing
back the DTS signal directly (with no decoding) is
output. To prevent noise, you need to make digital
connections (See pages 21 & 22) and set SIGNAL
SELECT to AUTO or DIGITAL.
• Some DVD players don't output DTS signals. For more
details, refer to the instruction manual supplied with
your DVD player.
• This receiver can only play back Dolby Digital, PCM (32
kHz, 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, 88.2 kHz and 96 kHz sampling
frequency), and DTS digital signal formats. If your
source is not one of these select ANALOG for playback.
