Note
1 • When digital input (optical or coaxial) is selected, this receiver can only play back Dolby Digital, PCM (32 kHz to 96 kHz) and 
DTS (including DTS 96 kHz / 24 bit) digital signal formats. The compatible signals via the HDMI terminals are: Dolby Digital, 
DTS, SACD (DSD 2 ch), PCM (32 kHz to 192 kHz sampling frequencies), Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus, DTS-EXPRESS, DTS-
HD Master Audio and DVD Audio (including 192 kHz). With other digital signal formats, set to 
A (analog) (TUNER).
• You may get digital noise when a LD or CD player compatible with DTS is playing an analog signal. To prevent noise, make 
the proper digital connections (page 23) and set the signal input to 
C1/O1/O2 (DIGITAL).
• Some DVD players don’t output DTS signals. For more details, refer to the instruction manual supplied with your DVD player.
2 When the 
HDMI option in Setting the Audio options on page 38 is set to THRU, the sound will be heard through your TV, not 
from this receiver.
