Basic Operation
Press the ANALOG button on the main unit or
INPUT MODE button on the remote control unit to
switch to the analog input.
2 Selecting the analog mode
ANALOG (exclusive analog audio signal playback mode):
The signals input to the analog input terminals are
decoded and played.
NOTE:
• Input mode when playing DTS sources:
Noise will be output if DTS-compatible CDs or LDs are
played in the “ANALOG” or “PCM” mode.
When playing DTS-compatible sources, be sure to
connect the source component to the digital input
terminals (OPTICAL/COAXIAL) and set the input mode to
“DTS”.
NOTE:
• When the input mode is set to EXT. IN (1 or 2), playback
in the DIRECT, STEREO, STANDARD (DOLBY/DTS
SURROUND), HOME THX CINEMA, 9CH STEREO and
DSP SIMULATION modes are only possible when “DSP”
mode is selected for the “Setting the EXT.IN Setup”
( page 105).
• In play modes other than the external input mode, the
signals connected to these terminals cannot be played. In
addition, signals cannot be output from channels not
connected to the input terminals.
