Audio playback modes ("MODE" key)
The preamplifier provides the possibility of playback from source units that output analogue and digital
sound signal formats. Different playback modes are possible for some sound formats. An analogue stereo
signal, for example, can be played back via the front speakers only or on all the connected speakers by
using Dolby Prologic II.
Switching over the sound format is impossible if one of the "CD/AV1", "DVD/AV2" (each set to
analogue sound), "XLR/AV4" or "6.1CHANNEL" inputs was selected.
The "DIG.EX" and "DTS.ES" formats can only be selected if a digital sound connection is used
and the "SPEAKER" setting (10)(30) for the rearward speaker is not deactivated (set to "N").
The "MODE" key found on the front of the unit (7) and on the remote control (26) is used to select the
playback mode. Not all playback modes can always be selected:
• If one of the inputs "CD/AV1" or "DVD/AV2" (each set to analogue sound) or "XLR/AV4" is selected,
only the following playback mode is effective, whereby the subwoofer does not receive a signal:
• If "6.1CHANNEL" was selected as the input channel, the signal is output for each channel present at
the associated input connection on the back of the unit. Therefore only the following type of playback
mode is active:
• If one of the "SAT/AUX1", "D-TV/AUX2" (each set to analogue sound), "VCR/AUX3" or "TUNER/
AV3" inputs is selected, the "MODE" key (7)(26) switches between the modes specified below.
The subwoofer is always supplied with a signal if it has not been deactivated in its "SPEAKER" setting
(10)(30).
STEREO
• If one of the preamplifier inputs with digital sound ("CD/AV1", "DVD/AV2", "SAT/AUX1" or „D-TV/
AUX2" (each set to digital sound connection) is selected, a choice of the following modes is
available through the "MODE" key (7)(26), whereby the subwoofer is always supplied with a signal
in the "STEREO" and "3-ST" modes if it has not been deactivated in its "SPEAKER" setting (10)(30):
(A) The following types of output can be selected if the source outputs a PCM signal:
PLOGII
(B) The following types of output can be selected if the source outputs a Dolby Digital signal::
DIG5.1
(C) The following types of output can be selected if the source outputs a dts signal:
DTS5.1
The following table summarizes for every audio format which speaker channels are active and what
conditions have to be met for them to be available.
