2 The RF mode can only be selected when the program
source is set to VDP.
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.
1AUTO (All 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-5700’s surround decoder is selected
automatically upon playback. This mode can be selected for all
input sources other than PHONO, TAPE-2 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.
With a VDP input (used most often for Laser Disc), the presence
or absence of a Dolby Digital AC-3 RF signal is also detected. If an
AC-3 RF signal is detected at the Dolby Digital AC-3 RF jack, the
RF signals are decoded and played with priority.
2DIGITAL (Digital auto mode)
The signals being input to the digital input jacks are identified and
decoding and playback are performed automatically in DTS, Dolby
Digital or PCM format
3PCM (exclusive PCM signal playback mode)
Decoding and playback are only performed when PCM signals are
being input.
4RF (exclusive RF signal playback mode)
This can only be selected when the program source is set to VDP.
Decoding and playback are only performed when RF signals are
being input. This is used when the LD player has an AC-3 RF
output jack, but does not have a PCM digital output jack.
5ANALOG (exclusive analog audio signal playback mode)
The signals input to the analog input jacks are decoded and
played.
66CH/8CH 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:
• When the AUTO (all auto) mode is selected for the VDP program
source and the mode is switched from pause or chapter skip, etc.,
to playback while playing the Dolby Digital sound of an LD, the
PCM/analog sound may be output momentarily before the sound
switches to Dolby Digital. If this happens, switch to the “RF”
(fixed RF input) mode and the sound will not be interrupted. That is
due to the fact that when paused or during chapter skip, the AC-3
RF signal is interrupted.
• When playing PCM signals in the DIGITAL (digital auto) mode, the
sound may be briefly interrupted when playback starts after
searching on CDs or LDs, depending on how the signals are
recorded on the disc. If this happens, switch to the “PCM”
(exclusive PCM signal playback) mode to prevent the sound from
being interrupted.
• 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 (all auto) or DIGITAL (digital auto) mode when playing
signals recorded in DTS from a laser disc player.
