connected to these terminals cannot be played.
Cautions when playing DTS sources:
• For DTS sources, be sure to connect the device to the digital
input terminal and set “AUTO” or “DTS” for the input source.
Noise will be generated if you play in the “ANALOG” or “PCM”
mode.
• When playing DTS signals in the “AUTO” mode, noise may be
generated when you first start playing and during searching. If so,
play in the “DTS” mode.
• Canceling the EXT. IN mode:
Press INPUT MODE or
<
ANALOG

to switch to the desired input
mode.
•To use the EXT. IN mode together with a picture, select the input
source to which the video signal is connected first, then set the
input mode.
• The “DIGITAL” indicator lights when digital signals are being input
properly. If the “DIGITAL” indicator does not light, check whether
the Digital In Assignment mode ( page 19) and connections are
correct.
