• Press SIGNAL SELECT (front panel) to
select the input signal corresponding to the
source component.
Each press cycles through the following:
• AUTO – This automatically switches to
DIGITAL if a digital source is detected,
otherwise it remains on ANALOG.
• ANALOG – Selects the analog inputs.
• DIGITAL – Selects the digital input.
When set to DIGITAL or AUTO, 2 DIGITAL
lights when a Dolby Digital signal is input, and
DTS lights when a DTS signal is input.
Note
1 • This receiver can only playback Dolby Digital, PCM (32 kHz to 96 kHz), DTS and WMA9 Pro digital signal formats. With other
digital signal formats, set to 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 9) and set the signal input to DIGITAL.
• Some DVD players don't output DTS signals. For more details, refer to the instruction manual supplied with your DVD player.
2 The Virtual Surround Back mode is not effective when using headphones, Stream Direct, Stereo, Front Stage Surround
Advance mode. It is also unavailable if the surround speaker is set to NO in Speaker setting on page 28.
Using Virtual Surround Back
(VSB)
Selecting this mode allows you to hear a
virtual surround back channel through your
1
surround speakers. For example, you can
choose to listen to sources with no surround
back channel information (for example, 5.1
encoded material) with emulated 6.1
encoding (VSB ON). Sometimes the material
may sound better in the 5.1 format for which it
was originally encoded. In this case you can
simply switch it off (VSB OFF).
Depending on the input signal and the
Listening Mode, the Virtual Surround Back
mode may not be effective.
