• Some laser discs have only analog audio signals. If your laser disc
is this type, use the ANALOG setting.

kHz) digital signals only. For other formats of digital signals, use
the ANALOG setting.

strong, the overload indicator (a dot above the 2nd character position)
lights. If this happens, press
