Choosing the input signal

On this receiver, it is possible to switch the
input signals for the different inputs as
1
described below.
• Press SIGNAL SEL to select the input
signal corresponding to the source
component.
When DIGITAL (C1/O1/O2) or HDMI (H) is
selected and the selected audio input is not
provided, A (analog) is automatically selected.
Each press cycles through the following:
• A – Selects the analog inputs.
• DIGITAL – Selects the digital input. The
coaxial 1 input is selected for C1, and the
optical 1 or 2 audio input is selected for
O1 or O2.
• HDMI – Selects an HDMI signal. H can be
selected for BD, DVD, TV/SAT or DVR/VCR
input. For other inputs, HDMI cannot be
2
selected.
When set to DIGITAL or HDMI, 2 lights when
a Dolby Digital signal is input, and DTS lights
when a DTS signal is input.
When the HDMI is selected, the A and
DIGITAL indicators are off (see page 12).
Note
1 • When digital input (optical or coaxial) is selected, this receiver can only play back Dolby Digital, PCM (32 kHz to 96 kHz) and
DTS (including DTS 96 kHz / 24 bit) digital signal formats. The compatible signals via the HDMI terminals are: Dolby Digital,
DTS, SACD (DSD 2 ch), PCM (32 kHz to 192 kHz sampling frequencies), Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus, DTS-EXPRESS, DTS-
HD Master Audio and DVD Audio (including 192 kHz). With other digital signal formats, set to A (analog).
• You may get digital noise when a LD or CD player compatible with DTS is playing an analog signal. To prevent noise, make
the proper digital connections (page 23) and set the signal input to C1/O1/O2 (DIGITAL).
• Some DVD players don't output DTS signals. For more details, refer to the instruction manual supplied with your DVD player.
2 When the HDMI option in Setting the Audio options on page 38 is set to THRU, the sound will be heard through your TV, not
from this receiver.
