Input mode The AVR-3806 has an AUTO signal detection mode that automatically identifies the type of incoming audio signals, but is also equipped with a manual mode that can be switched according to the type of input audio signals. (Remote control unit) The mode switches as shown below each time the INPUT MODE button on the remote control unit is pressed: AUTO PCM DTS EXT.IN ANALOG AUTO (All auto mode): In this mode, the types of signals being input to the digital and analog input terminals for the selected input source are detected and the program in the AVR-3806'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 terminals 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 terminals are selected. Use this mode to play Dolby Digital signals. 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. DTS (exclusive DTS signal playback mode): Decoding and playback are only performed when DTS signals are being input. 29

s operating
status can be checked during playback.
Such information as the position of the input selector and
the surround settings is output in sequence.

Front panel display
Press the
STATUS
button.
Descriptions of the unit
s operations are also displayed on
the front panel display. In addition, the display can be
switched to check the unit
s operating status while playing a

(All auto mode)
:
In this mode, the types of signals being input to the digital and
analog input terminals for the selected input source are
detected and the program in the AVR-3806
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 terminals 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 terminals are selected.
Use this mode to play Dolby Digital signals.
DTS
(exclusive DTS signal playback mode)
:
Decoding and playback are only performed when DTS signals
are being input.
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.
