b. Digital Format
Sets the digital signal type to which priority is given during signal
detection at the selected digital terminal.
The default setting is “All.” If “----” is selected for this input source
at the Digital Input setting, then this setting will not appear.
Although you can use this default setting as is, you may change it as
desired depending on the input signal format or if you know that you
will always be listening to a certain input signal format from a
particular input source.

All: Select for automatic detection of the input signal format.
The input signal format (Dolby Digital, DTS, PCM or Analog)
used by the selected input source is detected automatically to
execute the required decoding process.

• If a DTS signal is not input when “DTS” is selected, the TX-
NR900/900E will not automatically switch to analog output
even though “Auto” is selected with the AUDIO SELECTOR
button.

Notes on DTS:
• If you play a DTS-formatted CD or LD when the “PCM” setting
is selected on the TX-NR900/900E, the DTS encoded signal will
not be decoded and noise will be output. This noise could
damage the amplifier and speakers. Therefore, be sure to select
“All” or “DTS” and use the digital input jacks (OPTICAL or
COAXIAL) to connect the DTS source.

• The DTS indicator on the TX-NR900/900E lights while a DTS
source is played. When playback finishes and the DTS signal
transmission stops, the TX-NR900/900E remains in DTS mode
and the DTS indicator remains lit. This prevents noise when you
operate the pause or skip button on the player. Therefore, if the
source is immediately switched from DTS to PCM, the PCM
signal may not be played. In this case, stop the playback of the
source on the player for about three seconds and then resume
playback.

• You may not be able to play some DTS source signals from
certain CD players and LD players even when you connect the
player to the TX-NR900/900E digitally. This is because the
digital signal has been processed (such as the output level,
sampling frequency, or frequency response) and the TX-NR900/
900E cannot recognize the signal as DTS data. Therefore you
may hear noise when you play a DTS source while processing
the signal.

• The outputs for the VIDEO 1 OUT, VIDEO 2 OUT, TAPE
OUT, and ZONE 2 OUT output analog audio signals. Do not
record from CDs or LDs that support DTS using these outputs. If
you do, the DTS-encoded signal will be recorded as noise.

2-2. Multichannel Setup Sub-menu (When NET
AUDIO is not selected as the input source)
AUDIO is not selected as the input source)
When any input source other than NET AUDIO is selected, this sub-
menu appears and allows you to set the multichannel input setting.
The setting in this sub-menu is normally set to “No,” and only needs
to be changed to “Yes” if a DVD player, MPEG decoder, or other
component that has a multi channel port is connected to the MULTI
CHANNEL INPUT port for 5.1-channel, 6.1-channel, or 7.1-
channel audio. For example, if a DVD player is connected to the
MULTI CHANNEL INPUT port, then select DVD at the front panel
as the input source, bring up this sub-menu, and select “Yes” for the
Multichannel setting. You can only select Multichannel with the
AUDIO SELECTOR button when “Yes” is selected here.
