The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons. The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance. [. . . ] The presence or absence of digital signals is detected, the signals input to the digital input jacks are identified and decoding and playback are performed automatically in DTS, Dolby Digital or PCM (2 channel stereo) format. If no digital signal is being input, the analog input jacks are selected. W PCM (exclusive PCM signal playback mode) Decoding and playback are only performed when PCM signals are being input. Note that noise may be generated when using this mode to play signals other than PCM signals. E DTS (exclusive DTS signal playback mode) Decoding and playback are only performed when DTS signals are being input. R ANALOG (exclusive analog audio signal playback mode) The signals input to the analog input jacks are decoded and played. IN (external decoder input jack selection mode) The signals being input to the external decoder input jacks are played without passing through the surround circuitry. NOTE: • Note that noise will be output when CDs or LDs recorded in DTS format are played in the “PCM” (exclusive PCM signal playback) or “ANALOG” (exclusive analog audio signal playback) mode. Select the AUTO or DTS (exclusive DTS signal playback) mode when playing signals recorded in DTS from a laser disc player. Notes on playing a source encoded with DTS • Noise may be generated at the beginning of playback and while searching during DTS playback in the AUTO mode. € In some rare cases noise may be generated when you preform the operation to stop playback of a DTS-CD or DTS-LD.

MASTER VOLUME Input signal display • DOLBY DIGITAL SIGNAL DIGITAL MASTER VOL • DTS SIGNAL DIGITAL The volume level is displayed on the master volume level display. (Main unit) (Remote control unit) • PCM SIGNAL DIGITAL The volume can be adjusted within the range of –60 to 0 to 18 dB, in steps of 1 dB. However, when the channel level is set as described on page 30, if the volume for any channel is set at +1 dB or greater, the volume cannot be adjusted up to 18 dB. (In this case the maximum volume adjustment range is “18 dB — (Maximum value of channel level)”. ) Input mode when playing DTS sources • Noise will be output if DTS-compatible CDs or LDs are played in the “ANALOG” or “PCM” mode. When playing DTS-compatible sources, be sure to connect the source component to the digital input jacks (OPTICAL/COAXIAL) and set the input mode to “DTS”. The DIGITAL indicator lights when digital signals are being input properly. If the DIGITAL indicator does not light, check whether the digital input component setup (page 21) and connections are correct and whether the component’s power is turned on. NOTE: • The DIGITAL indicator will light when playing CD-ROMs containing data other than audio signals, but no sound will be heard. [. . . ] Before playing DTS signals for the first time, turn down the master volume to a low level, start playing the DTS disc, then check whether the DTS indicator on this unit (see page 33) lights before turning up the master volume. 3 A DVD player with DTS-compatible digital output is required to play DTS DVDs. a DTS Digital Output logo is featured on the front panel of compatible DVD players. Recent DENON DVD player models feature DTS-compatible digital output – consult the player’s owner’s manual for information on configuring the digital output for DTS playback of DTS-encoded DVDs.
