• AUTO
When a DTS 96/24 signal is input, it is played back
at 96 kHz sampling frequencies.
• OFF
Even when a DTS 96/24 signal is input, it is played
back at 48 kHz sampling frequencies.
Notes
• This parameter is valid only in the A.F.D. mode
(page 30). In other sound fields, this parameter is
always set to "96 OFF".
• DTS 96/24 decoding is valid only in the A.F.D. mode
(page 30). When the system is set to other sound
fields, standard 48 kHz decoding is used.
• Even when a DTS 96/24 signal is input, standard
48 kHz decoding is used if any speakers are set to
"SMALL" or if the sub woofer is set to "NO".

You can also press SURR BACK DECODING to set
the surround back decoding mode (page 34).

for Dolby Pro Logic IIx mode (page 30).
x A.V.SYNC. X
(Time alignment)
• Y (Yes) (Delay time: 68 ms)
The audio output is delayed so that the time gap
between the audio output and visual display is
minimized.
• N (No) (Delay time: 0 ms)
The audio output is not delayed.
Notes
• This parameter is useful when you use a large LCD
or plasma monitor or a projection TV.
• This parameter is valid only when you use a sound
field selected with the 2CH or A.F.D. buttons.
• This parameter is not valid when
– PCM 96 kHz, DTS 96/24 or DTS 2048 signals are
input.
– the receiver performing DTS-ES Matrix 6.1
decoding.
– MULTI CH IN function is selected.
x DEC. XXXX
(Digital audio input decoding priority)
Lets you specify the input mode for the digital signal
input to the DIGITAL IN jacks.
The initial setting is "DEC. AUTO" for VIDEO 2 and
"DEC. PCM" for DVD 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 CD, etc.) is interrupted when
playback starts, set to "DEC. PCM".
