Switching Analog and Digital Signal Input
This switch moves the input fed to the receiver between analog, digital and 2 RF sources. 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 use DOLBY DIGITAL or DTS surround sound but it would have to be on ANALOG to record to the
analog out jacks on the receiver. The default setting is AUTO (priority is given to a digital signal, if there is one).
1 Put the remote control slide switch in USE.
2 Press the SIGNAL SELECT button to select
the input signal corresponding to the
source component.
Each press switches the signal in the order below:
VSX-37TX model
AUTO
AC-3RF
ANALOG
DIGITAL
VSX-36TX model
3 While SIGNAL SELECT is set to DIGITAL, AC-3
lights when a Dolby Digital signal is input,
DTS lights when a DTS signal is input.
In the AUTO setting, SIGNAL SELECT chooses the signal in the following order: AC-3 RF (VSX-37TX only),
DIGITAL, ANALOG.
If the Digital-In Select (see page 31) choices are set to OFF, the SIGNAL SELECT will default to ANALOG.
Because the audio from a karaoke microphone and LD recorded with analog audio only is not output from
the digital output, set SIGNAL SELECT to ANALOG.
This receiver can only playback Dolby Digital, PCM (32kHz, 44kHz, 48kHz, and 96kHz), and DTS digital
signal formats. If you have some equipment that outputs digital audio in a format other than these you'll
have to connect and playback via the receiver's analog inputs (make sure that SIGNAL SELECT is set 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 pages 13 and 14) and set SIGNAL SELECT to DIGITAL or AUTO.
Some DVD players don’t output DTS signals. For more details, refer to the instruction manual supplied with
your DVD player.
