I have 4 inputs CD (Optical 1), DVD (Coax 1), DBS (Coax 2) and Video (Analogue phono connectors).
Video, DBS and DVD are set to dts NEO:6. (even the analogue video.)
When Dolby Digital or dts Surround is detected on the DVD coax 1, it switches to DD 5.1 or dts 5.1.
CD is in direct mode.
According to the American 3801 manual (P.55), you should be able to do the same. Try selecting dts NEO:6 while playing an analogue source with the "SELECT knob".
The following is a quote from the manual:
NOTE:
When playing PCM digital signals or analog signals in the DOLBY PRO LOGIC, DTS NEO:6 modes and the input signal switches to a digital signal encoded in Dolby Digital, the Dolby surround mode switches automatically. When the input signal switches to a DTS signal, the mode automatically switches to DTS surround.
you should be able to set your 3801 up the same as my AVC-A1SE - or am i missing something???
Mark.
