Configuring Input Settings Suitable for Your Connections—Continued
Initial settings for each input source
----: Available for digital input but not set in initial settings.
: Not available for digital input.
a. Digital Input
This setting tells the DTR-7.4 which input source button
on the front panel is connected with which digital input
jack on the rear panel.
For example, if the input source selected at the front
panel is CD and the compact disc player is connected to
DIGITAL IN OPT 1, then select “OPT1” here. If the
input source selected is not connected to a digital input,
then select “----.”
OPT1-3: Select if the input source is connected to
any of the DIGITAL IN OPT jacks 1 through 3.
COAX1-3: Select if the input source is connected to
any of the DIGITAL IN COAX jacks 1 through 3.
----: Select if the input source is not from a digital
input jack.
b. Digital Format
Sets the digital signal to type given priority during sig-
nal detection at the selected digital terminal.
The default setting is “All.” If “----” is selected for this
input source at the Digital Input setting, then this setting
cannot be selected. Although you can use this default
setting as is, you may change it as desired depending on
the input signal format or if you know that you will
always be listening to a certain input signal format from
a particular input source.
All: The digital signal suitable for the input signal
will be preceded for playback. When there is no dig-
ital signal input, analog signal will be played.
DTS: Select this if you play DTS-formatted CD in
“All” mode and hear noise during fast-forward or
rewind operation. Non-DTS sound input will not be
output.
PCM: Select this if you hear sound gap between
PCM tracks such as ones on CD in “All” mode. Non-
PCM sound input will not be output.
Notes:
• When you play DTS-formatted CD or LD, be sure to
select “All” or “DTS.” If you select “PCM,” noise will
be heard.
• If a DTS signal is not input when “DTS” is selected,
the DTR-7.4 will not automatically switch to analog
output even though “Auto” is selected with the Audio
Selector button.
Notes on DTS:
• If you play a DTS-formatted CD or LD when the
“PCM” setting is selected on the DTR-7.4, the DTS
encoded signal will not be decoded and noise will be
output. This noise could damage the amplifier and
speakers. Therefore, be sure to select “All” or “DTS”
and use the digital input jacks (OPTICAL or COAX-
IAL) to connect the DTS source.
• If you play a DTS-formatted CD or LD when “All” is
selected, you may hear a noise for a short while until
the DTS decoder recognizes the DTS-encoded signal
and starts operating. This is not a malfunction.
• If you press the pause or skip button on the player
while playing a DTS source, a short noise may be
heard. This is not a malfunction. In such cases, try
playing the source with the “DTS” selected.
• The DTS indicator on the DTR-7.4 lights while a
DTS source is played. When playback finishes and
the DTS signal transmission stops, the DTR-7.4
remains in DTS mode and the DTS indicator remains
lit. This prevents noise when you operate the pause or
skip button on the player. Therefore, if the source is
immediately switched from DTS to PCM, the PCM
signal may not be played. In this case, stop the play-
back of the source on the player for about three sec-
onds and then resume playback.
• You may not be able to play some DTS source signals
from certain CD players and LD players even when
you connect the player to the DTR-7.4 digitally. This
is because the digital signal has been processed (such
as the output level, sampling frequency, or frequency
response) and the DTR-7.4 cannot recognize the sig-
nal as DTS data. Therefore you may hear noise when
you play a DTS source while processing the signal.
• The outputs for the VIDEO 1 OUT, VIDEO 2 OUT,
TAPE OUT, and ZONE 2 OUT output analog audio
signals. Do not record from CDs or LDs that support
DTS using these outputs. If you do, the DTS-encoded
signal will be recorded as noise.
