• ON/STANDBY
¢
The power turns on and power indicator is lit.
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 operation switch to this
position to turn the power on and off from the
included remote control unit.
• OFF
£
The power turns off and power indicator is
off.
In this position, the power cannot be turned

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 (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-
1804'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
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.
