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 12 in all the way. Make sure that each video component is properly 13, 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 OUT. 14, 30 If the video source is connected to a composite video 14 input, your TV must be connected to the corresponding composite video output. If the video source is connected to an HDMI input, 13, 30 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. ■ There's no picture from a source connected to an HDMI IN Reliable operation with an HDMI-to-DVI adapter is 50 not guaranteed. In addition, video signals from a PC are not guaranteed.
