Select the input source to be played.
AUTO PCM DTS
• Selecting the external input (EXT. IN) mode
Press the EXT. IN to switch the external input.
• Selecting the AUTO, PCM and DTS modes
The mode switches as shown below each
time the INPUT MODE button is pressed.
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-
1905’s surround decoder is selected automatically
upon playback. This mode can be selected for all
input sources other than 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.

Select the play mode.
Press the SURROUND MODE button, then turn

The volume can be adjusted within the range
of –70 to 0 to 18 dB, in steps of 1 dB.
However, when the channel level is set as
described on page 23, if the volume for any
channel is set at +1 dB or greater, the volume
cannot be adjusted up to 18 dB. (In this case
the maximum volume is adjusted to “18 dB
— (Maximum value of channel level)”.)
Input mode when playing DTS sources
• Noise will be output if DTS-compatible CDs or LDs
are played in the “ANALOG” or “PCM” mode.
When playing DTS-compatible sources, be sure to
connect the source component to the digital input
jacks (OPTICAL/COAXIAL) and set the input mode to
“DTS”.

Start playback on the selected component.
• For operating instructions, refer to the
component’s manual.

The volume level
is displayed on

To select the surround mode
while adjusting the surround
parameters, tone defeat or tone

does not light, check whether the digital input
component setup (page 15) and connections are
correct and whether the component’s power is
turned on.

NOTE:
• The indicator will light when playing
CD-ROMs containing data other than audio
signals, but no sound will be heard.
DIGITAL
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.
Notes 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.
• In some rare cases the noise may be generated
when you preform the operation to stop
playback of a DTS-CD or DTS-LD.
Example: Stereo
(Main unit)
• Selecting the analog mode
Press the ANALOG button to switch to the
analog input.
