When a decode mode which differs from the type of
disc being played is selected
Insert a DVD disc in the center unit to display the type of audio
being played in the Decode mode indicator in the display window.
Audio cannot be played if a decode mode which differs from the
displayed mode is selected.
The selected decode mode flashes to indicate that the selected
decode mode does not allow audio playback.
Example: When DTS is selected as the decode mode for Dolby
digital audio.
Adjusting the Input Signal Level
When using the DSP mode effect during playback from an analog
device, the sound will occasionally be distorted due to a overly-
strong input signal. In these instances, it is possible to adjust the
level of the input signal. Only input signals from analog devices (TV
SOUND, VCR, TAPE, AUX, FM, AM, MD, DBS) may be adjusted
in this way.
On the front panel only:
1
Press and hold INPUT ATT. (DSP MODE).
Release the button when the display window shows “INPUT
ATT ON,” or “INPUT NORMAL.”
Pressing and holding the INPUT ATT. Button further cycles
through the following modes:
INPUT NORMAL: Playback source without adjusting the input
signal level. This is the default setting.
J
INPUT ATT ON: Lower the input level and playback source.
The ATT mark will light up.
To change the input signal level, press and hold INPUT ATT.
until “INPUT NORMAL” or “INPUT ATT ON” is displayed.
Note:
• When in “INPUT ATT ON” mode, ATT will light up in the
display window. However, when the playback source is digital
(DVD, etc.) it will go off. Lighting up will resume if playback is
switched to an analog device.
• Even while in “INPUT ATT ON” mode, if the DSP mode is
turned off (“DSP OFF”), playback will continue without any
reduction of the input signal.
