Switching Analog/Digital Signal Input - Pioneer VSA-E07 Operating Instruction

Switching ANALOG/DIGITAL signal input

This button selects the type of input, ANALOG, DIGITAL or AC-3 RF, sent to the amplifier. 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 DOLBY DIGITAL or DTS surround sound material 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 when all three
are available but goes with whatever is available if it is the only choice.

• In the AUTO setting, SIGNAL SELECT chooses the signal, based on availability, in the following
order: AC-3 RF, DIGITAL, ANALOG.
• If all the DIGITAL INPUT SELECT (see p.36) choices are set to OFF, the SIGNAL SELECT will default
to ANALOG.
• Because the audio from a karaoke microphone and LDs recorded with analog audio only is not output
from the digital output, set SIGNAL SELECT to ANALOG.
• This amplifier can only play back Dolby Digital, PCM (32kHz, 44kHz, 48kHz, and 96kHz), DTS and
MPEG digital signal formats. It cannot play back digital signals other than these so for those kinds of
formats you'll have to play them back in an analog manner (making sure your equipment is hooked up
with analog connections and setting the SIGNAL SELECT to ANALOG).
• When an LD or CD with DTS is played back with the SIGNAL SELECT set in ANALOG, digital noise
caused by playing back the DTS directly (with no decoding) is output. To prevent noise, you need to
make digital connections (See p.10, 11) and set SIGNAL SELECT to AUTO.
• Some DVD players don't output DTS signals. For more details, refer to the instruction manual
supplied with your DVD player.
• The SIGNAL SELECT is fixed to DIGITAL in the MPEG audio mode.
