Selecting the input signal type

Most of the audio inputs have both analog and digital
jacks. You can select the type of signal to be used in each
case.
The input signal type for the current input is indicated in
the display. With digital signals, the signal type (Dolby
Digital or DTS) also shows in the display.
The default AUTO setting is usually sufficient, letting the
receiver decide the most suitable signal type. However, in
other cases (for example, if you want to record the analog
output of a digital source) then you should set the input
signal type to analog.
1 Press RECEIVER.
2 Press SIGNAL SEL to select the type of input
signal for the current source.
Press repeatedly to choose between:
• AUTO – The receiver selects the first available signal
in the following order:
• ANALOG – Selects an analog signal.
• DIGITAL – Selects an optical or coaxial digital signal.
Note
• If no digital inputs are assigned for the current
source, the input signal type is fixed to ANALOG.
• When using DIGITAL IN terminals the following
digital signal formats are supported: Dolby Digital,
DTS and PCM (32, 44.1, 48, 88.2 and 96 kHz sampling
frequencies). If you are using the i.LINK connectors,
DVD-A (including 192 kHz) and SACD are also
supported. If your source is not supported, select
ANALOG.
• Some DVD players don't output DTS signals. For
more details, refer to the instruction manual supplied
with your DVD player.
• The audio signal from karaoke microphones and
some LDs is not output from the digital outputs.
Select ANALOG to listen to these formats.
