PLAYING A SOURCE
Input Mode (for the DVD/LD, D-TV
and CBL/SAT sources)
This unit allows you to switch the input mode for sources
that send both digital and analog signals to this unit. The
AUTO, DTS and ANALOG input modes are provided.
When you turn on the power of this unit, the input mode for
the DVD/LD source is always set to AUTO and for D-TV or
CBL/SAT source is set according to "TV INPUT" and
"CBL INPUT" on the SET MENU. (Refer to page 28 for
details.)
AUTO
In this mode, the input signal is selected in the following
order of priority:
1. Digital signal encoded with Dolby Digital or DTS
2. Normal digital signal (PCM)
3. Analog signal (ANALOG)
Note
• If digital signals are input from both the OPTICAL and
COAXIAL terminals, the digital signal from the COAXIAL
terminal is selected.
DTS
In this mode, only a digital signal encoded with DTS is
selected, even if other signals are being input at the same
time.
ANALOG
In this mode, only an analog signal is selected, even if a
digital signal is being input at the same time. Select this
mode when you want to use an analog signal instead of a
digital signal.

Notes
• Set the input mode to AUTO to play a DVD/LD source encoded
with Dolby Digital.
• If the input mode is set to AUTO for the source, this unit
automatically determines which type of signal the source
contains. If this unit detects a Dolby Digital or DTS signal, the
decoder automatically switches to the appropriate setting and
reproduces 5.1 channel sound.
• The sound output may be interrupted for some LD and DVD
players in the following situation: The input mode is set to AUTO.
A search is performed while playing the disc encoded with Dolby
Digital or DTS, and then disc playing is restored. The sound
output is interrupted for a moment because the digital signal was
selected again.
• The input mode cannot be changed for the CD, TUNER, TAPE/
MD and VCR sources because only analog signals are used for
these.
• The current input mode appears on the display when the DVD/
LD, D-TV or CBL/SAT source is selected or the input mode is
changed.
