• ¢ ON/STANDBY
The power turns on and “ON/STANDBY”
indicator is light.
Several seconds are required from the time
the power operation switch is set to the “¢
ON/STANDBY” position until sound is output.
This is due to the built-in muting circuit that
prevents noise when the power switch is
turned on and off.
Set the power operation switch to this
position to turn the power on and off from the
included remote control unit (RC-904).
• £ OFF
The power turns off and “ON/STANDBY”
indicator is off.
In this position, the power cannot be turned
on and off from the remote control unit (RC-
904).

Turn on the power.
Press the POWER operation switch (button).

• Selecting the AUTO, PCM and DTS modes
The mode switches as shown below each
time the INPUT MODE button is pressed.
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-
2802’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 from a laser disc player or CD player.
Note 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.
