Notes on input mode selection
●
The input mode for a TV/DBS source is selected with
function “12. TV/DBS INPUT” in the SET MENU mode.
This unit will be automatically set to the selected input mode
when the power is turned on.
●
Set the input mode to the following mode to play a DVD/LD
source encoded with Dolby Digital.
U.S.A., Canada and Australia models: AUTO
China, Singapore and General models: AUTO or D.D.RF
●
Select the ANALOG mode to play a normal 2-channel
source with a Dolby Pro Logic Surround program.
●
The sound output may be interrupted in some LD and DVD
players in the following situation:
The input mode is set to AUTO. A search is made while
playing the disc encoded with Dolby Digital or DTS, then
disc playing is restored. The sound output is interrupted for
a moment because the digital input signal was selected
again.
●
The input mode cannot be changed for PHONO, TUNER,
VCR 1, VCR 2 and VIDEO AUX sources because only
analog signals are used.
●
The present input mode appears on the front display and
monitor screen when the input source is changed to
DVD/LD, CD, TAPE/MD or TV/DBS, or the input mode is
changed.
The present input signal is also shown on the monitor
screen when the input mode is changed to AUTO, as shown
below.
* However, the present input signal will not be shown when
the input mode is switched during the speaker test mode.
Only AUTO will be displayed.
Notes on playing a source encoded with DTS
●
Select the DTS mode when playing an LD or CD source
encoded with DTS. (Red “dts” indicator is illuminated on
the display panel.) If the “AUTO” mode is selected, a
noise may be heard just after playback begins.
Do not play these sources in the ANALOG mode
because only background noise will be output from the
speakers.
●
This unit is automatically locked in the DTS decoding
mode when playing a CD or LD source encoded with
DTS in the AUTO mode to prevent background noise in
future operation. The red “dts” indicator will be flashing.
In this mode, no sound will be heard if a disc with normal
digital signals (PCM) is played from a CD or LD source.
To play back the disc normally, press the INPUT MODE
button on the front panel, or, the input selector key for the
current source on the remote controller.
