Before operating

When the CURSOR/PAGE button is pressed
and the display is in half-tone dot mesh, the
joystick operates as the cursor up/down and
left/right buttons and the ENTER button. (This
is called the cursor mode.)
The display switches between normal and half-
tone dot mesh each time the CURSOR/PAGE
button is pressed, thus switching between the
page mode and the cursor mode. (When the
display is normal, the page mode is set.)

• ¢ 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 switch to this position to turn
the power on and off from the included
remote control unit (RC-871).
• £ 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-
871).

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
AVC-A1SR’s surround decoder is selected
automatically upon playback. This mode can be
selected for all input sources other than PHONO.
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. (page 23)
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.
