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-A11SR’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 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” 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 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.

The volume can be adjusted within the range of
–70 to 0 to 18 dB, in steps of 1 dB. However, when
the channel level is set as described on page 14 or
page 27, if the volume for any channel is set at +1
dB or greater, the volume cannot be adjusted up to
18 dB. (In this case the maximum volume
adjustment range is “18 dB — (Maximum value of
channel level)”.)
Input mode when playing DTS sources
• Noise will be output if DTS-compatible CDs or LDs
are played in the “ANALOG” or “PCM” mode.
When playing DTS-compatible sources, be sure to
connect the source component to the digital input
jacks (OPTICAL/COAXIAL) and set the input mode to
“AUTO” or “DTS”.
