formats. The compatible signals via the HDMI terminals
are: Dolby Digital, DTS, SACD (DSD 2 ch only), 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
set the signal input to C1/O1 (digital).
