Basic playback

Playing a source

Here are the basic instructions for playing a source (such as 
a DVD disc) with your home theater system.

1

Switch on your system components and receiver.

Start by switching on the playback component (for 
example a DVD player), your TV and subwoofer (if you 
have one), then the receiver (press 

Í

RECEIVER

).

Make sure the setup microphone is disconnected.

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 the 

DIRECT

 button.

Change the listening mode as necessary.
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 

VOL +/–

 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.

 …

Press 

AUDIO SEL

 to select the audio input signal 

corresponding to the source component. 

Each press cycles through the following:

H

 – Selects an HDMI signal. 

H

 can be selected for  

BD/DVD

CBL/SAT

STRM BOX

 or 

GAME

 input. For 

other inputs, 

H

 cannot be selected.

-

When the 

HDMI

 option in 

Setting the Audio options

 

on page 25

 is set to 

THRU

, the sound will be heard 

through your TV, not from this receiver.

C1

cannot be changed.

For the 

TV

 input, only 

A

 (analog) or 

C1

/

O1

 (digital) can be 

selected. However, if the 

ARC

 at 

HDMI Setup

 is set to

 (HDMI) and cannot be changed.

/

O1
