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 (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-5800’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 RF (exclusive RF signal playback mode)
This can only be selected when the program source is set to VDP.
Decording and playback are only performed when RF signals are
being input. This is used when the LD player has an Dolby Digital-
RF (AC-3RF) output jack, but does not have a PCM digital output
jack.
t ANALOG (exclusive analog audio signal playback mode)
The signals input to the analog input jacks are decoded and
played.
y 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” or “ANALOG” mode. Select the
“DTS” mode when playing signals recorded in DTS from a laser
disc player or CD player.
Note on playing a source encorded 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.
