Configuring Input Settings Suitable for Your Connections—Continued
a. Digital Input
This setting tells the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E 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 IN OPT 1, then select “OPT1” here. If the
input source selected is not connected to a digital input,
then select “----.”
OPT1-3: Select if the input source is connected to
any of the DIGITAL IN OPT jacks 1 through 3.
COAX1-3: Select if the input source is connected to
any of the DIGITAL IN COAX jacks 1 through 3.
----: Select if the input source is not from a digital
input jack.
b. Digital Format
Sets the digital signal to type given priority during sig-
nal 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
cannot be selected. 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: The digital signal suitable for the input signal
will be preceded for playback. When there is no dig-
ital signal input, analog signal will be played.
DTS: Select this if you play DTS-formatted CD in
“All” mode and hear noise during fast-forward or
rewind operation. Non-DTS sound input will not be
output.
PCM: Select this if you hear sound gap between
PCM tracks such as ones on CD in “All” mode. Non-
PCM sound input will not be output.
Notes:
• When you play DTS-formatted CD or LD, be sure to
select “All” or “DTS.” If you select “PCM,” noise will
be heard.
• If a DTS signal is not input when “DTS” is selected,
the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E 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-NR801/
TX-NR801E, 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
(OPTICAL or COAXIAL) 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 with the “DTS” selected.
• The DTS indicator on the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E
lights while a DTS source is played. When playback
finishes and the DTS signal transmission stops, the
TX-NR801/TX-NR801E 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-NR801/
TX-NR801E digitally. This is because the digital sig-
nal has been processed (such as the output level, sam-
pling frequency, or frequency response) and the
TX-NR801/TX-NR801E 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,
TAPE OUT, and ZONE 2 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.
Multichannel Setup Sub-menu
(When NET AUDIO
is not selected as the input source)
When any input source other than NET AUDIO is
selected, this sub-menu appears and allows you to set
the multichannel input setting.
The setting in this sub-menu is normally set to “No,”
and only needs to be changed to “Yes” if a DVD player,
MPEG decoder, or other component that has a multi-
channel port is connected to the MULTI CH INPUT
port for 5.1 channel, 6.1 channel, or 7.1 channel audio.
The default setting for “DVD” is set to “Yes” and the
one for other input sources is set to “No.” When the ana-
log output from a DVD player is not connected to the
MULTI CH INPUT port, change this setting to “No.”

dures, see “Enjoying analog multichannel audio play-
back” on page 64.
