Playback using the external input (EXT. IN) jacks
1
Set the external input (EXT.
IN) mode.
Press the EXT. IN to switch
the external input.
(Main unit) (Remote control unit)
Once this is selected, the input signals connected to the FL
(front left), FR (front right), C (center), SL (surround left), SR
(surround right), SBL (surround back left) and SBR (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 without passing through the surround circuitry.
In addition, the signal input to the SW (subwoofer) jack is
output to the PRE OUT SUBWOOFER jack.

Cancelling the external input mode
To cancel the external input (EXT. IN) setting, press the input
mode (AUTO, PCM, DTS) or ANALOG button to switch to the
desired input mode. (See page 48.)
(Main unit) (Remote control unit)
• When the input mode is set to the external input (EXT. IN), the
surround mode (DIRECT, STEREO, DOLBY/DTS SURROUND,
5/7CH STEREO, WIDE SCREEN or DSP SIMULATION) cannot be
set.
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.

Playing audio sources (CDs and DVDs)
The AVR-3803/1083 is equipped with three 2-channel playback modes exclusively for music.
Select the mode to suit your tastes.
1
PURE DIRECT mode
In this mode, the music is played with an extremely high level
of sound quality.
When this mode is set, all the video-related circuits are turned
off so that music signals can be reproduced with high quality.
When an analog mode is selected, the digital processing
circuitry is also turned off to achieve analog sound with even
higher purity. (See NOTES)
• The PURE DIRECT indicator lights.
(Main unit) (Remote control unit)
2
DIRECT mode
Use this mode to achieve good quality 2-
channel sound while watching images. In
this mode, the audio signals bypass such
circuits as the tone circuit and are
transmitted directly, resulting in good
quality sound.
(Remote control unit)
3
STEREO mode
Use this mode to adjust the tone and
achieve the desired sound while watching
images.

NOTES:
• The system setup function cannot be used when the PURE DIRECT
mode is set. To use the system setup function, cancel the PURE
DIRECT mode.
• The ZONE2 video output is not output in the PURE DIRECT mode.
• The channel level and surround parameters in the PURE DIRECT
mode are the same as in the DIRECT mode.
• When the PURE DIRECT button is pressed or the SELECT knob is
turned while in the PURE DIRECT mode, the PURE DIRECT mode
is cancelled.
• The subwoofer’s channel level must be set to “OFF” in order to
turn off the digital circuit in the PURE DIRECT mode.
