a. Digital Input
This setting tells the DTR-6.3/5.3 which input source button on the
front panel is connected with which digital input jack on the rear
panel.
For example, if the input source selected at the front panel is CD and
the compact disc player is connected to DIGITAL INPUT
OPTICAL 2, then select “OPT2” here. If the input source selected is
not connected to a digital input, then select “----.”
OPT1, 2: Select if the input source is connected to either of the
DIGITAL INPUT OPTICAL 1 or 2 jack.
COAX: Select if the input source is connected to the DIGITAL
INPUT COAXIAL jack.
––––: Select if the input source is not from a digital input jack.
The default settings are given below.
Input source Digital input
CD OPT 1
PHONO* ----
TAPE ----
DVD COAX
VIDEO 1 ----
VIDEO 2 ----
VIDEO 3 OPT 2
---- : Available for digital input but not set in initial settings.
* DTR-6.3 only
Notes:
• This item will not appear if the selected input source button is
Tuner.
• Since VIDEO 4 is fixed to the optical digital terminal on the
front panel, this item will not appear if VIDEO 4 is selected.
b. Digital Format
Sets the digital signal type to which priority is given during signal
detection at the selected digital terminal. The default setting is “All.”
If “----” is selected for this input source at the Digital Input setting,
then this setting will not appear. Although you can use this default
setting as is, you may change it as desired depending on the input
signal format or if you know that you will always be listening to a
certain input signal format from a particular input source.
All: Select for automatic detection of the input signal format.
The input signal format (Dolby Digital, DTS, or PCM) used by
the selected input source is detected automatically to execute the
required decoding process.
DTS: Select for DTS signal processing. The decoding process is
executed only when DTS signals are input.
PCM: Select for PCM signal processing. The decoding process
is executed only when PCM signals are input.
Notes:
• If “All” is selected and a compact disc or LD is fast-forwarded
during playback, decoded PCM signals may produce a skipping
sound. In such cases, change the setting to “PCM.”
• If a DTS signal is not input when “DTS” is selected, the DTR-
6.3/5.3 will not automatically switch to analog output even
though “Auto” is selected with the Audio Selector button.
Input Setup
Notes on DTS:
• If you play a DTS-formatted CD or LD when the “PCM” setting
is selected on the DTR-6.3/5.3, the DTS encoded signal will not
be decoded and noise will be output. This noise could damage
the amplifier and speakers. Therefore, be sure to select “All” or
“DTS” and use the digital input jacks (OPT or COAX) to
connect the DTS source.
• If you play a DTS-formatted CD or LD when “All” is selected,
you may hear a noise for a short while until the DTS decoder
recognizes the DTS-encoded signal and starts operating. This is
not a malfunction.
• If you press the pause or skip button on the player while playing
a DTS source, a short noise may be heard. This is not a
malfunction. In such cases, try playing the source in the “DTS”
selected.
• The DTS indicator on the DTR-6.3/5.3 lights while a DTS
source is played. When playback finishes and the DTS signal
transmission stops, the DTR-6.3/5.3 remains in DTS mode and
the DTS indicator remains lit. This prevents noise when you
operate the pause or skip button on the player. Therefore, if the
source is immediately switched from DTS to PCM, the PCM
signal may not be played. In this case, stop the playback of the
source on the player for about three seconds and then resume
playback.
• You may not be able to play some DTS source signals from
certain CD players and LD players even when you connect the
player to the DTR-6.3/5.3 digitally. This is because the digital
signal has been processed (such as the output level, sampling
frequency, or frequency response) and the DTR-6.3/5.3 cannot
recognize the signal as DTS data. Therefore you may hear noise
when you play a DTS source while processing the signal.
• The outputs for the VIDEO 1 OUT, VIDEO 2 OUT, and TAPE
OUT output analog audio signals. Do not record from CDs or
LDs that support DTS using these outputs. If you do, the DTS-
encoded signal will be recorded as noise.
• If a CD or LD encoded in the DTS format is played back with
“PCM” selected, only noise will be produced. Always select
“All” or “DTS” when playing back DTS-encoded sources.
c. Multichannel
This setting is available when the input source is DVD.
Select “Yes” when using a DVD player with a 5.1-channel audio
output port. The default setting is “Yes.”
Note:
Press the Audio Selector button to select Multich during playback.
d. Component Video
If the video signal from a component is input to one of the
component video input banks (1 or 2), then which input source and
which component video input bank must be set here.
The Component Video setting is available when the input source is
DVD or VIDEO 1-4.
The default settings are given below.
Input source selected Component video input
DVD INPUT 1
VIDEO 1 INPUT 2
VIDEO 2 INPUT 2
VIDEO 3 INPUT 2
VIDEO 4 INPUT 2
