Playing the input source
1
Select the input source to be played.
Example: CD
(Main unit) (Remote control unit)
To select the input source when
ZONE2/REC OUT is selected, press
the MAIN button then operate the
input function selector.
2
Select the input mode.
• Selecting the analog mode
Press the ANALOG button to switch to the analog input.
(Main unit) (Remote control unit)

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-1803/883’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.
Use this mode to play Dolby Digital signals.
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.
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.
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.
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. If
so, play in the DTS mode.
•
In some rare cases the noise may be generated when you
preform the operation to stop playback of a DTS-CD or DTS-LD.
