• If you want to play DTS-encoded sources, you need to
have digital connections. If ANALOG is selected,
you’ll hear digital noise through your speakers.
• Make sure you connect your DVD/LD or LD players
using the 2 RF jack. If your player has a 2 RF
output this will ensure you can use all LDs. Refer to
Connecting other video sources on page 19.
• The input signal for unassigned i.LINK-equipped
components is fixed to . See Assigning the i.LINK
inputs on page 84.
Selecting USB and multichannel analog input
channels
When you’ve selected the USB interface or the
multichannel analog inputs as your input source, the
SIGNAL SELECT button is used to specify the number of
input channels.
• After selecting USB or MULTI CH IN as your input
source, press SIGNAL SELECT to choose the number
of input channels.
Select one of the following options:
• 2 CHANNEL
• 6 CHANNEL
• 7 CHANNEL
• 8 CHANNEL
The 8 CHANNEL setting is the default.
Listening to high-sampling formats
This amplifier supports 88.2/96kHz (24-bit) digital formats
(such as DTS 96/24 and PCM 96kHz sources up to 24-bit)
when connected to a compatible DVD player with digital
connections. If you have connected this amplifier to an
i.LINK-equipped component, 176.4/192kHz (24-bit) digital
formats (such as DVD-A and SACDs) are also supported.
You can listen to these formats without downsampling in
one of three ways:
• Switch the Stream Direct mode on.
See Using the Stream Direct mode on page 43.
For the following options, the 2 Pro Logic modes cannot
be selected for DTS 96kHz (24-bit) sources without
downsampling:
• Select one of the Home THX modes.
See Using the Home THX modes on page 41.
• Select the STEREO or STANDARD listening mode
and switch off any other sound processing features.
These features include:
• Real Phantom (page 47)
• Virtual Surround Back (page 47)
• Midnight/Loudness (page 48)
• Digital Noise Reduction (page 49)
• Dynamic Range Control (page 87)
Note that you’ll still be able to use the tone control (see
Using the tone control on page 48).
Note
• You will see the sampling frequency in the display
(with DTS 96kHz (24-bit) sources, 96 is only displayed
when the signal is being processed at 96kHz).
• Even if your DVD player can’t output 96kHz (24-bit)
digital signals, you can still listen to DTS 96/24
sources processed at 96kHz if it has a DTS output
feature. Other formats (such as PCM192/96kHz
sources) are not compatible unless the digital output
of your DVD player supports high-sampling digital
signals.
