Switching ANALOG/DIGITAL Signal Input
This button selects the type of input, ANALOG, DIGITAL or AC-3 RF, sent to the receiver. You need to take special care to
switch to the appropriate input, when necessary. For example, the switch would have to be on DIGITAL to hear DOLBY
DIGITAL or DTS surround sound material but it would have to be on analog to record from the ANALOG out jacks on
the receiver. The default setting is AUTO which chooses digital when all three are available but goes with whatever is
available if it is the only choice.

Basic Playback
In the AUTO setting, SIGNAL SELECT chooses the signal, based on
availability, in the following order: AC-3 RF, DIGITAL, ANALOG.
If all the DIGITAL INPUT SELECT (see p.32) choices are set to OFF,
the SIGNAL SELECT will default to ANALOG.
Because the audio from a karaoke microphone and LDs recorded
with analog audio only is not output from the digital output, set
SIGNAL SELECT to ANALOG.
This receiver can only play back Dolby Digital, PCM (32kHz, 44kHz,
48kHz, and 96kHz), and DTS digital signal formats. It cannot play
back digital signals other than these so for those kinds of formats
you'll have to play them back in an analog manner (making sure
your equipment is hooked up with analog connections and setting
the SIGNAL SELECT to ANALOG).
When an LD or CD with DTS is played back with the SIGNAL
SELECT set in ANALOG, digital noise caused by playing back the
DTS directly (with no decoding) is output. To prevent noise, you
need to make digital connections (See p.10, 11) and set SIGNAL
SELECT to AUTO.
Some DVD players don’t output DTS signals. For more details, refer
to the instruction manual supplied with your DVD player.
