Switching Analog and Digital Signal Input
This switch moves the input fed to the receiver between analog, digital and 2 RF sources. You need to take
special care to switch to the appropriate input, when necessary. For example, the switch would have to be on
DIGITAL to use DOLBY DIGITAL, DTS or MPEG surround sound but it would have to be on ANALOG to record
to the analog out jacks on the receiver. The default setting is AUTO (priority is given to a digital signal, if there is
one).
1 Put the remote control slide switch in USE.
2 Press the SIGNAL SELECT button to select
the input signal corresponding to the
source component.
Each press switches the signal in the order below:
AUTO ANALOG
AC-3RF DIGITAL
3 When SIGNAL SELECT is set to DIGITAL,
AC-3 lights when a Dolby Digital signal is
input, and DTS lights when a DTS signal is
input.

• In the AUTO setting, SIGNAL SELECT chooses the signal,
based on availability, in the following order: AC-3 RF, DIGITAL,
ANALOG.
• If all the Digital In Select (see p.32) choices are set to OFF, the
SIGNAL SELECT will default to ANALOG.
• Because the audio from a karaoke microphone and LDs
recorded with analog audio only is not output from the digital
output, set SIGNAL SELECT to ANALOG to listen to these
formats.
• This receiver can only play back Dolby Digital, PCM (32kHz,
44kHz, 48kHz, and 96kHz), and DTS and MPEG digital signal
formats. It cannot play back digital signals other than these so
for those kinds of formats you'll have to play them back in an
analog manner (making sure your equipment is hooked up with
analog connections and setting the SIGNAL SELECT to ANA-
LOG).
• When an LD or CD with DTS is played back with the SIGNAL
SELECT set in ANALOG, digital noise caused by playing back
the DTS directly (with no decoding) is output. To prevent noise,
you need to make digital connections (See p.13,14) and set
SIGNAL SELECT to AUTO.
• Some DVD players don’t output DTS and/or MPEG signals. For
more details, refer to the instruction manual supplied with your
DVD player.
