ENGLISHBasic Operation Basic Operation18Connect the headphones to the PHONES jack.• The pre-out output (including the speaker output) isautomatically turned off when headphones are connected.NOTE:• To prevent hearing loss, do not raise the volume levelexcessively when using headphones.Listening over headphones2 On-screen displayPress the VIDEO SELECT button repeatedly until thedesired source appears on the display.Combining the currently playing sound withthe desired image (VIDEO SELECT)Use this switch to monitor a video source other than theaudio source.IN=V SOURCEChecking the currently playing programsourcePress the ON SCREEN button.Each time an operation is performed, a description of thatoperation appears on the display connected to the unit’sVIDEO MONITOR OUT terminal. Also, the unit’s operatingstatus can be checked during playback.Such information as the position of the input selector andthe surround parameter settings is output in sequence.• Canceling simulcast playback:q Select “SOURCE” by pressing the VIDEO SELECT button.w Switch the program source to the component connected tothe video input terminals.Press the SPEAKER A or B button to turn thecorresponding speaker pair on.Selecting the front speakersThe front speaker A, B setting can be also be changed withthe SPEAKER button on the remote control unit.2 Using the dimmer functionPress the DIMMER button.The display brightness changes in four steps (bright,medium, dim and off).AUTO (auto mode):In this mode, the types of signals being input to the digital andanalog input terminals for the selected input source aredetected and the program in the AVR-2106’s surrounddecoder is selected automatically upon playback. This modecan be selected for all input sources other than PHONO andTUNER.The presence or absence of digital signals is detected, thesignals input to the digital input terminals are identified anddecoding and playback are performed automatically with theDTS, Dolby Digital or PCM (2 channel stereo) format. If nodigital signal is being input, the analog input terminals areselected.Use this mode to play Dolby Digital signals.DTS (exclusive DTS signal playback mode):Decoding and playback are only performed when DTS signalsare being input.PCM (exclusive PCM signal playback mode):Decoding and playback are only performed when PCM signalsare being input.Note that noise may be generated when using this mode toplay signals other than PCM signals.ENGLISHPress the ANALOG button to switch to the analoginput.2 Selecting the analog modeANALOG (exclusive analog audio signal playback mode):The signals input to the analog input terminals are decodedand played.NOTE:• Input mode when playing DTS sources:Noise will be output if DTS-compatible CDs or LDs areplayed in the “ANALOG” or “PCM” mode.When playing DTS-compatible sources, be sure to connectthe source component to the digital input terminals(OPTICAL/COAXIAL) and set the input mode to “DTS”.Input modeThe AVR-2106 has an AUTO signal detection mode thatautomatically identifies the type of incoming audio signals, but isalso equipped with a manual mode that can be switchedaccording to the type of input audio signals.2 Selecting the AUTO, PCM and DTS modesAUTO PCM DTSPress the INPUT MODE button.The mode switches as shown below each time the INPUTMODE button is pressed:
