Make sure the speakers are configured correctly. 30 ■ The surround speakers produce no sound When the T-D (Theater-Dimensional), Stereo or - Mono listening mode is selected, the surround speakers produce no sound. Depending on the source and current listening mode, - not much sound may be produced by the surround speakers. Try selecting another listening mode. Make sure the speakers are configured correctly. 30 ■ The center speaker produces no sound When the Stereo or Mono listening mode is selected, - the center speaker produces no sound. Make sure the speakers are configured correctly. 30 ■ The subwoofer produces no sound The subwoofer outputs no sound while only Speak- 10 ers B is on. Turn on Speakers A. When you play source material that contains no - information in the LFE channel, the subwoofer produces no sound. Make sure the speakers are configured correctly. 30 ■ There's no sound with a certain signal format Check the digital audio output setting on the con- - nected device. On some game consoles, such as those that support DVD, the default setting is off. With some DVD-Video discs, you need to select an - audio output format from a menu. Depending on the input signal, some listening modes 25-27 cannot be selected. ■ Can't get 5.1 playback When speaker B is turned on, Speakers A is reduced 10 to 2.1 channel playback. You can not always select all of the listening modes, 25-27 depending on the number of the speakers connected. ■ The volume cannot be set to 79 After the volume level of each individual speaker has 31 been adjusted, the maximum volume may be reduced. ■ Noise can be heard Using cable ties to bundle audio cables with power - cords, speaker cables, and so on may degrade the audio performance, so don't do it. An audio cable may be picking up interference. Try - repositioning your cables. ■ The Late Night function doesn't work Make sure the source material is Dolby Digital, 34 Dolby Digital Plus, and Dolby TrueHD. ■ About DTS signals When DTS program material ends and the DTS bit- - stream stops, the AV receiver remains in DTS listening mode and the DTS indicator remains on. This is to prevent noise when you use the pause, fast forward, or fast reverse function on your player. If you switch your player from DTS to PCM, because the AV receiver does not switch formats immediately, you may not hear any sound, in which case you should stop your player for about three seconds, and then resume playback. With some CD and LD players, you won't be able to - playback DTS material properly even though your player is connected to a digital input on the AV receiver. This is usually because the DTS bitstream has been processed (e.g., output level, sampling rate, or frequency response changed) and the AV receiver doesn't recognize it as a genuine DTS signal. In such cases, you may hear noise. When playing DTS program material, using the - pause, fast forward, or fast reverse function on your player may produce a short audible noise. This is not a malfunction. ■ The beginning of audio received by an HDMI IN can't be heard Since it takes longer to identify the format of an - HDMI signal than it does for other digital audio signals, audio output may not start immediately. Video ■ There's no picture Make sure that all video connecting plugs are pushed 13 in all the way. Make sure that each video component is properly 14, 15 connected. If the video source is connected to a component video input, you must assign that input to an input selector, and your TV must be connected to COMPONENT VIDEO MONITOR OUT. 15, 29 If the video source is connected to a composite video 15 input, your TV must be connected to the corresponding composite video output. If the video source is connected to an HDMI input, 14, 29 you must assign that input to an input selector, and your TV must be connected to the HDMI OUT. On your TV, make sure that the video input to which - the AV receiver is connected is selected. En 45
