Playback using the external input (EXT. IN) jacks 1 Set the external input (EXT. IN) mode. Press the EXT. IN (on the EXT. IN button EXT. IN on the remote control unit) to switch the external input. The playback switches as shown below each time the button is pressed. EXT. IN-1 EXT. IN-2 (Main unit) (Remote control unit) Once this is selected, the input signals connected to the FRONT-L, FRONTR, CENTER, SURR.-L (surround left), SURR.-R (surround right) SB-L (surround back left) and SB-R (surround back right) channels of the EXT. IN jacks are output directly to the front (left and right), center, surround (left and right) and surround back (left and right) speaker systems as well as the pre-out jacks. In addition, the signal input to the SW (subwoofer) jack is output to the PRE OUT SW (subwoofer) jack. Playback using the external input jacks (EXT.IN-1 and EXT.IN-2) q When the "ANALOG" mode is selected at "EXT.IN SETUP" at system setup: The surround playback mode button does not function. w When the "DSP" mode is selected at "EXT.IN SETUP" at system setup: The surround playback mode button functions. Press the SURR.PARA button to display the surround parameters screen. Select the parameter (jog stick up/down) and select the setting value (jog stick left/right). Press the SURR.PARA button to complete. • Input CH parameter 2 CH: Select when the input source being played is a 2-channel source. MULTI CH: Select when the input source being played is a multi-channel source. 2 Cancelling the external input mode To cancel the external input (EXT. IN) setting, press the INPUT MODE or ANALOG button to switch to the desired input mode. INPUT MODE ANALOG 21 2 2 1 (Main unit) (Remote control unit) • When the input mode is set to EXT.IN (1 or 2), playback in the DIRECT, STEREO, DOLBY/DTS SURROUND, HOME THX CINEMA, WIDE SCREEN, 5CH/7CH STEREO and DSP SIMULATION modes is only possible when DSP MODE is selected for Ext.In Setup at System Setup. • When the DIRECT button is pressed while the input channel parameter is set to "MULTI CH", the MULTI CH DIRECT mode is set. When the DOLBY/DTS SURROUND button is pressed, the MULTI CH IN mode is set. (See pages 64 and 65.) NOTES: • In play modes other than the external input mode, the signals connected to these jacks cannot be played. In addition, signals cannot be output from channels not connected to the input jacks. • The external input mode can be set for any input source. To watch video while listening to sound, select the input source to which the video signal is connected, then set this mode. 2 Playback using the DENON Link connector Digital transfer and multi-channel playback of DVD audio discs and other multi-channel sources is possible by connecting the AVR-5803 to a Denon DVD player equipped with a Denon Link connector using the connection cable included with the DVD player. With discs on which special copyright protection measures have been taken, however, the digital signals may not be output from the DVD player. In this case, connect the DVD player's analog multi-channel output to the AVR-5803's EXT.IN-1 or EXT.IN-2 terminals for playback. Also refer to your DVD player's operating instructions. 44
