Input mode selection function

Different input modes can be selected for the different input sources. The selected input modes for the separate input sources are stored in the memory.

qAUTO (auto mode)

In this mode, the types of signals being input to the digital and analog input jacks for the selected input source are detected and the program in the AVR- 3802’s surround decoder is selected automatically upon playback. This mode can be selected for all input sources other than PHONO and TUNER.

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.

•Selecting the PCM mode

MODE

AUTO PCM DTS

(Remote control unit)

Use this mode to play Dolby Digital signals.

wPCM (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.

eDTS (exclusive DTS signal playback mode)

Decoding and playback are only performed when DTS signals are being input.

rANALOG (exclusive analog audio signal playback mode)

The signals input to the analog input jacks are decoded

and played.

tEXT. 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 PCM signal playback) mode. Select the AUTO or DTS mode when playing signals recorded in DTS from a laser disc player or CD player.

The volume can be adjusted within the range of

–70 to 0 to 18 dB, in steps of 1 dB. However, when the channel level is set as described on page 13 or page 27, 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)”.)

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 14) 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.

•Selecting the AUTO mode

Press the AUTO button to switch to the auto

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”.
