Switching ANALOG/DIGITAL signal input
This switch moves the input fed to the receiver between analog, digital and AC-3 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, DTS surround sound and MPEG audio (VSX-D938TX only) but it would have to be
on analog to record from the analog out jacks on the receiver. On the VSX-D938TX, the default setting is AUTO
(which chooses digital when all three are available but foes with whatever is available if it is the only choice), on
the VSX-D908TX/D908TX-G is ANALOG.

SIGNAL
SELECT
VSX-D938TX
• In the AUTO setting (VSX-D938TX only), SIGNAL SELECT
chooses the signal in the following order: AC-3 RF, DIGITAL,
ANALOG.
• If the Digital-In Select (see p.37) 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 play back Dolby Digital, PCM (32kHz,
44kHz, 48kHz, and 96kHz), DTS, or MPEG digital signal
formats. It cannot play back digital singals other than these so
for those formats you will 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 “DIGITAL”(VSX-D938TX could
also be set to “AUTO”).
• Some DVD players do not output DTS signals. For more
details, refer to the instruction manual supplied with your
DVD player.
