Switching between 
digital and analog audio
 
(INPUT MODE)
When you connect equipment to both digital 
and analog audio input jacks on the receiver, 
you can fix the audio input mode to either of 
them, or switch from one to the other, 
depending on the type of material you intend 
to watch. 
1
Press input button to select the 
input source.
You can also use the INPUT SELECTOR 
on the receiver.
2
Press INPUT MODE repeatedly.
The selected audio input mode appears on 
the display panel.
• AUTO: Gives priority to digital audio 
signals when there are both digital and 
analog connections.
 
If there are more than one digital 
connection, HDMI audio signals have 
priority.
 
If there are no digital audio signals, 
analog audio signals are selected.
 
When TV input is selected, priority is 
given to the Audio Return Channel 
(ARC) signals. If your TV is not 
compatible with the Audio Return 
Channel (ARC) function, the digital 
optical audio signals are selected.
• COAX: Specifies the digital audio 
signals input to the DIGITAL 
COAXIAL jack.
• OPT: Specifies the digital audio signals 
input to the DIGITAL OPTICAL jack.
• ANALOG: Specifies the analog audio 
signals input to the AUDIO IN (L/R) 
jacks.
Notes
• Some audio input modes may not be set up based 
on the input.
• When “A. DIRECT” is being used, audio input is 
set to “ANALOG”. You cannot select other modes.
• The Audio Return Channel (ARC) function does 
not work in the following cases.
– Your TV is not compatible with the Audio 
Return Channel (ARC) function.
– “CTRL.HDMI” is set to “CTRL OFF”.
– When you do not connect the receiver to the 
ARC compatible TV’s HDMI jack via an HDMI 
cable.
Using the sound/images 
from other inputs
You can reassign the HDMI, COMPONENT 
VIDEO and DIGITAL input jacks to other 
input if the default settings of the jacks do not 
correspond to your connected equipment.
After you have reassigned the input jacks, you 
can use the input button (or INPUT 
SELECTOR on the receiver) to select the 
equipment you connected.
Example:
When you connect the DVD player to the 
OPTICAL SAT/CATV IN and 
COMPONENT VIDEO SAT/CATV (IN 2) 
jacks.
– Assign the OPTICAL SAT/CATV IN jack to 
“BD/DVD”
– Assign the COMPONENT VIDEO 
 
SAT/CATV (IN 2) jacks to “BD/DVD”
Note
Before you reassign the HDMI input jacks, be sure 
to set “CTRL.HDMI” to “CTRL OFF”.
