[. . . ] To use the analog input, set the input source's format to Analog (see the following section). The format of the digital input signal appears on the display, as shown: DOLBY DIGITAL, DTS, DTS-ES, or PCM (stereo). DOLBY DIGITAL PCM DTS DTS-ES Press [RCVR/ TAPE] to select RCVR mode. CH + CH SEL LEVEL AUDIO SEL Input selector buttons VOLUME / / Selecting the Source AV Component 1 DVD VIDEO 1 VIDEO 2 VIDEO 3 VCR TAPE TUNER CD Use the following input selector buttons to select the AV component: [DVD], [VIDEO 1], [VIDEO 2], [VIDEO 3], [TAPE], or [CD]. The name of the selected source appears on the display, as shown. A & B speakers indicators Volume Remote controller Other Functions: See page 32 for functions that you can use while listening to your AV components. Listening Modes: See page 34 for information on the listening modes that you can use while listening to your AV components. Remote Controller: See pages 40, 41 for information on using the TX-SR501/ TX-SR501E's remote controller to control your other AV components. Setting the Input Signal Format Selected input source If you're using a MiniDisc recorder, you can set the display to show "MD" instead of "TAPE. " See page 25. 2 A SPEAKERS B Remote controller Use the SPEAKERS [A] and [B] buttons, or the remote controller's [SP A] and [SP B] buttons to select the speaker set that you want to use. Press the remote controller's [RCVR/ TAPE] button to select RCVR mode before using the remote controller. The A and B speaker indicators show whether each speaker set is on or off. With this function you can choose which signal format (analog or digital) you want to use for AV components that are connected to a digital input and analog input. When an input source is assigned to an OPTICAL or COAXIAL digital input (page 24), the digital input has priority over the corresponding analog input. However, with this function you can override that and force the TX-SR501/TX-SR501E to use the analog input. In addition, you can set the DVD input source to use the multi-channel inputs. 1 DVD VIDEO 1 VIDEO 2 VIDEO 3 VCR TAPE TUNER CD Press the input selector button for the source that you want to set: [DVD], [VIDEO 1], [VIDEO 2], [VIDEO 3], [TAPE], or [CD]. The name of the selected source appears on the display. 3 28 Start playback on the selected AV component. 2 AUDIO SELECTOR Press the [AUDIO SELECTOR] button. The current format appears on the display for about three seconds. Playing Your AV Components--Continued 3 AUDIO SELECTOR While the format is being displayed, use the [AUDIO SELECTOR] button to select: Auto, Analog, or Multich (DVD input source only). Using the Multi-Channel Inputs The multi-channel inputs are for connecting an AV component with individual 5. 1-surround analog outputs, such as a DVD player or MPEG decoder. See "Connecting Your AV Components" on page 13 for connection information. While "Auto" is displayed, the name of the digital input currently assigned to the input source (page 24) is displayed in parenthesis. For example, "Auto (COAX). " The possible inputs are OPT1, OPT2, and COAX. Auto: The assigned digital input will have priority over the analog inputs. Analog: The analog inputs will be used even if the input source (i. e. , AV component) is connected digitally. Multich: The multi-channel inputs will be used even if the input source is connected digitally. Notes: · When you assign an input source to COAX, OPT1, or OPT2 on page 24, if the signal format for that input source was previously set to Analog, it's automatically set to Auto. · When you assign an input source to "­ ­ ­ ­" on page 24, if the signal format for that input source was previously set to Auto, it's automatically set to Analog. Fixing the signal format at DTS or PCM If you experience either of the following issues when playing DTS or PCM source material with the Auto setting, you can fix the signal format at PCM or DTS, as explained below. · If the beginnings of tracks from a PCM source are cut off in Auto mode, try fixing the format at PCM. · If noise is produced when fast forwarding or reversing a DTS format CD or LD in Auto mode, try fixing the format at DTS.
