AUTO Automatically selects input signals in
the following order:
(1) Digital signals

DTS Selects only digital signals encoded in
DTS. If no DTS signals are input, no
sound is output.
ANALOG Selects only analog signals. If no
analog signals are input, no sound is
output.
When “INPUT MODE” is set to “AUTO”, this unit
automatically switches to the appropriate decoder if a Dolby
Digital or DTS signal is detected.
Use this feature to automatically set this unit to the
standby mode after a certain amount of time. The sleep
