Basic Operation
Switching ANALOG/DIGITAL Signal Input
This button selects the type of input signal, ANALOG, DIGITAL or 2 RF, sent to the amplifier. 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, MPEG or DTS surround sound material but it would have to be on analog to
record from the ANALOG out jacks on the amplifier. The default setting is AUTO which chooses digital over
analog when both are available but goes with whatever is available if it is the only choice.

Press the SIGNAL SELECT button on
the SUB screen.
Each press switches the signal in the order below:
AUTO ANALOG DIGITAL 2RF
memo
• In the AUTO setting, amplifier chooses the signal, based on availability, in the following order of priority:
2 RF, DIGITAL, ANALOG.
• When DIGITAL signal is selected, 2 DIGITAL lights when a Dolby Digital signal is input; DTS lights when a
DTS signal is input.
• If no digital inputs (see p.80) are assigned, the SIGNAL SELECT will default to ANALOG.
• Because the audio signal from a karaoke microphone and LDs are recorded with analog audio only, they are
not output from the digital outputs. Set SIGNAL SELECT to ANALOG to listen to these formats.
• When an LD with DTS is played back with the SIGNAL SELECT set in ANALOG, digital noise caused by
playing back the DTS signal directly (with no decoding) is output. To prevent noise, you need to make digital
connections (See p.24 & 25) and set SIGNAL SELECT to AUTO or DIGITAL.
• Some DVD players don’t output DTS signals. For more details, refer to the instruction manual supplied with
your DVD player.
• This amplifier can only play back Dolby Digital, MPEG, PCM (32kHz, 44kHz, 48kHz, 88kHz and 96kHz
sampling frequency), and DTS digital signal formats. If your source is not one of these select ANALOG for
playback.
• Make sure you connect your DVD/LD or LD players using the 2 RF jack. If your player has a 2 RF output
this will ensure you can use all LDs. Refer to p.19.

Playback of 96kHz 24 bit sound formats
This amplifier is capable of playing back 96kHz/24bit sound formats (such as DTS 96/24 and PCM 96kHz (up to
24bit).
To Playback with the Best Sound Quality (all processing is done at 96 kHz).
For DTS 96/24 5.1 format, connect both center and surround left/right speakers, set LISTENING CH SELECT to
AUTO or 5.1, choose STANDARD mode and turn off all sound functions. For 96kHz 2ch format (either DTS or
PCM) choose STEREO mode and turn off sound functions. For both these playbacks, "96kHz" will appear in the
amplifier's display. If it doesn't the processing is being done at 48kHz.
You can listen to DTS 96/24 soundtracks through this amplifier if your DVD player has a DTS output feature,
even if it can't output 96kHz digital signals. For PCM 96kHz soundtracks, however, you won't be able to listen to
them with digital connections if your DVD player can't output 96kHz digital signals. Also, if you set RE-EQ on you
won't be able to get 96kHz processing.
Check the manual that came with your DVD player to confirm what it can output and for more information on
these formats.
