Start by switching on the playback component (for example a DVD player) and your TV, then the receiver (press ÍRECEIVER). 2 Switch the TV input to the input that connects this receiver. For example, if you connected this receiver to the VIDEO jacks on your TV, make sure that the VIDEO input is now selected. 3 Press input function buttons to select the input function you want to play. If you selected the proper input source and there is still no sound, select the audio input signal for playback (see Selecting the audio input signal below). 4 Press AUTO/DIRECT to select 'AUTO SURROUND' and start playback of the source. If you're playing a Dolby Digital or DTS surround sound DVD disc, with a digital audio connection, you should hear surround sound. If you're playing a stereo source or if the connection is an analog audio connection, you will only hear sound from the front left/right speakers in the default listening mode. It is possible to check on the front panel display whether or not surround sound playback is being performed properly. If the display does not correspond to the input signal and listening mode, check the connections and settings. Note • You may need to check the digital audio output settings on your DVD player or digital satellite receiver. It should be set to output Dolby Digital, DTS and 88.2 kHz/96 kHz PCM (2 channel) audio, and if there is an MPEG audio option, set this to convert the MPEG audio to PCM. • Depending on your DVD player or source discs, you may only get digital 2 channel stereo and analog sound. In this case, the receiver must be set to a multichannel listening mode if you want multichannel surround sound. 5 Use VOLUME +/- to adjust the volume level. Turn down the volume of your TV so that all sound is coming from the speakers connected to this receiver. Selecting the audio input signal The audio input signal can be selected for each input source. Once it is set, the audio input that was selected will be applied whenever you select the input source using the input function buttons. 2 4 RECEIVER AUDIO SEL 34 DVD SAT STREAM BOX ...
