Basic Operation

¢Input mode display

•In the AUTO mode
•In the DIGITAL PCM mode
•In the DIGITAL DTS mode
•In the ANALOG mode
Depending on the input signal.
•In the EXT. IN mode

Press the ANALOG button on the main unit or

INPUT MODE button on the remote control unit to

switch to the analog input.

¢Selecting the analog mode

ANALOG (exclusive analog audio signal playback mode):
The signals input to the analog input terminals are
decoded and played.
NOTE:
•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
terminals (OPTICAL/COAXIAL) and set the input mode to
“DTS”.

¢Input signal display

•DOLBY DIGITAL
•DTS
•PCM
Depending on the input signal.
•The “HDCD” indicator lights when digital
signals are being input with a player that
supports HDCD playback.
Depending on the input signal.
•The “DSD” indicator lights when the DENON
LINK or IEEE1394 have been connected and
the DSD signals have been inputted (
page 34, 37).

Press the INPUT MODE button.

The mode switches as shown below each time the
INPUT MODE button on the main unit is pressed:

¢Selecting the AUTO, PCM and DTS modes

(Remote control unit)

When operating the remote control unit:

AUTO (All auto mode):
In this mode, the types of signals being input to the
digital and analog input terminals for the selected input
source are detected and the program in the AVR-
4806CI’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 terminals 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 terminals are selected.
Use this mode to play Dolby Digital signals.
DTS (exclusive DTS signal playback mode):
Decoding and playback are only performed when DTS
signals are being input.
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.

Input mode

•The AVR-4806CI has an AUTO signal detection mode that
automatically identifies the type of incoming audio signals,
but is also equipped with a manual mode that can be
switched according to the type of input audio signals.
