Press the ON SCREEN button.
Each time an operation is performed, a description of that
operation appears on the display connected to the unit’s
VIDEO MONITOR OUT terminal. Also, the unit’s operating
status can be checked during playback.
Such information as the position of the input selector and
the surround parameter settings is output in sequence.
• Canceling simulcast playback:
q Select “SOURCE” by pressing the VIDEO SELECT button.
w Switch the program source to the component connected to
the video input terminals.
Press the SPEAKER A or B button to turn the
corresponding speaker pair on.
Selecting the front speakers
The front speaker A, B setting can be also be changed with
the SPEAKER button on the remote control unit.
2 Using the dimmer function
Press the DIMMER button.
The display brightness changes in four steps (bright,
medium, dim and off).
AUTO (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-2106’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 with the
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.

2 Selecting the analog mode
ANALOG (exclusive analog audio signal playback mode):
The signals input to the analog input terminals are decoded
and played.
NOTE:
• 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 terminals
(OPTICAL/COAXIAL) and set the input mode to “DTS”.
Input mode
The AVR-2106 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.
