Press the POWER switch (button). 3 2 ON/STANDBY Light (Main unit) (Remote control unit) When pressed, the power turns on and the display lights. The sound is muted for several seconds, after which the unit operates normally. When pressed again, the power turns off, the standby mode is set and the display turns off. Whenever the ON/STANDBY button is in the STANDBY state, the apparatus is still connected on AC line voltage. Please be sure to unplug the cord when you leave home for, say, a vacation. 4 The front speakers switch as shown below each time the FRONT SPEAKER button is pressed. 4 (Main unit) (Remote control unit) FRONT A FRONT B FRONT A+B 41 Playing the input source 1 1 5 1 3 2 3 5 1 Select the input source to be played. Example: CD FUNCTION (Main unit) (Remote control unit) To select the input source when ZONE2/REC OUT or TUNING PRESET is selected, press the SOURCE button then operate the input function selector. 2 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-2803/983'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 played. 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" (exclusive PCM signal playback) or "ANALOG" (exclusive PCM signal playback) mode. Select the AUTO or 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.

Set the frequency (Hz) below which the bass sound of the various speakers is to be output from the subwoofer. This selects the subwoofer speaker for playing deep bass signals. This parameter is for optimizing the timing with which the audio signals are produced from the speakers and subwoofer according to the listening position. [. . . ]
