For your reference

In rare cases, the unit may have trouble recognizing the digital signals on
discs. 

¡

With the PCM signals on CDs, this may cause the beginning of a track
to be cut off. Engage the PCM FIX mode if this occurs.

¡

With DTS, the signals may not be recognized at all. Engage the DTS
FIX mode if this occurs.

While the input source is selected:

1. Press [INPUT MODE] to select “DIGITAL”
2. Press and hold [INPUT MODE] for four seconds.

The current mode is displayed. Press again to change the mode.
Each time you press the button:
AUTO 

/

PCM FIX 

/

DTS FIX

When a FIX mode is on, the unit cannot process other signals. This may
cause noise to be output. Select “AUTO” if this occurs.
The mode returns to AUTO when you switch the unit to standby.

Press [–/L] or [+/R] to adjust the effect.

speakers.
You can choose a level between –3 and +3 – Increase the level to move
sound to the front speakers, decrease to move it to the surround speakers.
The default is level 0.

Press [–/L] or [+/R] to adjust the effect.
