Switching Analog/Digital Signal Input - Pioneer VSX-45TX Elite Operating Instructions Manual

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 digital sources like Dolby Digital or DTS 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, PHONO. The default setting is DIGITAL for USB.

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 91) 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 22 & 23) 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 (32kHz, 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 88.2kHz and 96kHz sampling
frequency), and DTS digital signal formats. If your source is not one of these select ANALOG for playback.
