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 TX-
SR700/700E/600/600E will not automatically switch to analog
output even though Auto is selected with the AUDIO
SELECTOR button.
Notes on DTS:
If you play a DTS-formatted CD or LD when the PCM setting
is selected on the TX-SR700/700E/600/600E, 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 TX-SR700/700E/600/600E lights
while a DTS source is played. When playback finishes and the
DTS signal transmission stops, the TX-SR700/700E/600/600E
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 TX-SR700/700E/600/600E digitally. This is
because the digital signal has been processed (such as the output
level, sampling frequency, or frequency response) and the TX-
SR700/700E/600/600E 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.
Input Setup
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
e. IntelliVolume
This setting allows you to adjust for the volume differences between
your various input source components.
When switching input sources, you may find that the output level for
different components or input sources connected to the TX-SR700/
700E/600/600E is different even though the main volume setting is
the same. Under normal circumstances, you would then have to
change the volume setting each time you change the input source.
This Intelli Volume setting allows you to preset a volume level for
each input source separately so that when you do switch from one
input source to another, the TX-SR700/700E/600/600E adjusts the
volume accordingly and the volume stays the same. If the volume is
quieter than that of other sources, increase it with the
cursor
button, and if it is louder than that of other sources, decrease it with
the
cursor button.
The Intelli Volume can be adjusted between 12 and +12 decibels.
