19ENGLISHOPERATION3 4342Before operating• ¢ ON/STANDBYThe power turns on and power indicator is lit.Several seconds are required from the timethe power operation switch is set to the “¢ON/STANDBY” position until sound is output.This is due to the built-in muting circuit thatprevents noise when the power switch isturned on and off.Set the power operation switch to thisposition to turn the power on and off from theincluded remote control unit.• £ OFFThe power turns off and power indicator isoff.In this position, the power cannot be turnedon and off from the remote control unit.• The front speaker A, B setting can be also bechanged with the SPEAKER button on theremote control unit.121 Refer to “CONNECTIONS” (pages 6 to 10) andcheck that all connections are correct.(Main unit) (Remote control unit)4 Select the front speakers.Press the SPEAKER A or B button to turn thespeaker on.(Main unit) (Remote control unit)5132Playing the input source311 2 51 Select the input source to be played.AUTO PCM DTS• Selecting the external input (EXT. IN) modePress the EXT. IN to switch the external input.• Selecting the AUTO, PCM and DTS modesThe mode switches as shown below eachtime the INPUT MODE button is pressed.Input mode selection functionDifferent input modes can be selected for the differentinput sources. The selected input modes for theseparate input sources are stored in the memory.q AUTO (auto mode)In this mode, the types of signals being input to thedigital and analog input jacks for the selected inputsource are detected and the program in the AVR-1804’s surround decoder is selected automaticallyupon playback. This mode can be selected for allinput sources other than PHONO and TUNER.The presence or absence of digital signals isdetected, the signals input to the digital input jacksare identified and decoding and playback areperformed automatically in DTS, Dolby Digital orPCM (2 channel stereo) format. If no digital signal isbeing 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 whenPCM signals are being input.Note that noise may be generated when using thismode to play signals other than PCM signals.e DTS (exclusive DTS signal playback mode)Decoding and playback are only performed whenDTS signals are being input.r ANALOG (exclusive analog audio signal playbackmode)The signals input to the analog input jacks aredecoded and played.t EXT. IN (external decoder input jack selection mode)The signals being input to the external decoderinput jacks are played without passing through thesurround circuitry.2 Select the input mode.• Selecting the analog modePress the ANALOG button to switch to theanalog input.(Main unit) (Remote control unit)(Main unit) (Remote control unit)(Main unit) (Remote control unit)(Main unit) (Remote control unit)2 Set the remote control unit’s slide switch to theAUDIO position.
