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.
q AUTO (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-2801/981’s surround decoder is selected
automatically upon playback. This mode can be selected for all
input sources other than PHONO, CDR/TAPE 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.
w PCM (exclusive PCM signal playback mode)
Decoding and playback are only performed when PCM signals are
being input.
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.
t EXT. 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.
NOTES:
• 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.
• Noise may be generated at the beginning of playback and
while searching during DTS playback in the AUTO mode. If so,
play in the DTS mode.
• In some rare cases noise may be generated when you preform
the operation to stop playback of a DTS-CD or DTS-LD.
