Yamaha RX-SL100RDS User Manual

k

n

Analog

Selects only analog signals. If no 
analog signals are input, no sound is 
output.

Auto

Automatically selects input signals in 
the following order:
1) Digital signals*
2) Analog signals

dts

Selects only digital signals encoded in 
DTS. If no DTS signals are input, no 
sound is output.

* If this unit detects a Dolby Digital or DTS signal, the 

decoder automatically switches to the appropriate sound 
field program.

■

Analog

In this mode, only analog input signals 
are selected, even the unit is receiving 
digital signals at the same time.

Auto

In this mode, the input signal is 
selected automatically as follows:
1) Digital signal
2) Analog signal

dts

In this mode, only digital input signals 
encoded with DTS are selected, even if 
the unit is receiving another signal 
simultaneously. 

y

You can adjust the default input mode this unit selects when the 
power is turned on with the SETTING parameter in Input Mode 
(see page 44).

• When the SETTING parameter in Input Mode is set to Fixed, 

you cannot switch the input mode by pressing INPUT (see 
page 44).

• When Auto is selected, this unit automatically determines the 

type of signal. If it detects a Dolby Digital or DTS signal, the 
decoder automatically switches to the appropriate setting.

• When playing a disc encoded with Dolby Digital or DTS on 

some LD or DVD players, there is a delay in sound output for a 
moment when playback resumes after a search, because the unit 
must select the digital signal again.

• When playing an LD source that has not been digitally 

recorded, the unit may not output any sound for some LD 
players. In this case, set the input mode to Analog.

■

The digital input jacks of this unit can handle 96 kHz 
sampling digital signals. Note the following when a digital 
signal with a sampling frequency greater than 48 kHz is 
input to this unit:
• You cannot use any DSP programs.
• The unit will output sound as 2-channel stereo from the 

front left and right speakers only. Therefore, you 
cannot adjust the level of the surround speakers while 
listening to such a source.

■

• If the digital output data of the player has been 

processed in any way, the unit may not be able to 
perform DTS decoding even if there is a digital 
connection between this unit and the player.

• If you play a source encoded with a DTS signal and set 

the input mode to Analog, the unit may reproduce the 
noise of an unprocessed DTS signal. In this case, 
connect the source to a digital input jack on this unit 
and set the input mode to Auto or dts.

• If you switch the input mode to Analog while playing a 

source encoded with a DTS signal, the unit does not 
output any sound.

• If you play a source encoded with a DTS signal with 

the input mode set to Auto:
– The unit automatically switches to the DTS 

decoding mode (The “t” indicator lights up) 
after detecting the DTS signal. When playback of 
the DTS source is completed, the “t” indicator 
may flash. While this indicator is flashing, the unit 
can only reproduce DTS source. If you want to play 
a normal PCM source immediately, change the 
input mode back to Auto.

– When the input mode is set to Auto and a search or 

skip operation is performed during playback of a 
DTS source, the “t” indicator may flash. If this 
state continues for longer than 30 seconds, the unit 
will automatically switch from “DTS-decoding” 
mode to PCM digital signal input mode. The 
“t” indicator will turn off.
