If you’re playing a Dolby Digital or DTS surround sound
DVD disc, you should hear surround sound. If you are
playing a stereo source, you will only hear sound from the
front left/right speakers in the default listening mode.
• See also
Listening to your system
on page 61 for
information on different ways of listening to sources.
It is possible to check on the front panel display whether
or not multi-channel playback is being performed
properly.
When using a surround back speaker,

is displayed when playing Dolby Digital 5.1
channel signals, and
DTS+Neo:6
is displayed when
playing DTS 5.1-channel signals.
When not using a surround back speaker,
DOLBY
DIGITAL
is displayed when playing Dolby Digital 5.1
channel signals.
If the display does not correspond to the input signal and
listening mode, check the connections and settings.

Use the volume control 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.
Playing a source with HDMI connection
•
Use INPUT SELECT to select the HDMI input you’ve
connected to (for example, HDMI 1).
You can also perform the same operation by using the
INPUT SELECTOR
dial on the front panel or by pressing
HDMI
on the remote control repeatedly.
Note
1 Make sure that the TV’s video input is set to this receiver (for example, if you connected this receiver to the

input is now selected).

3 • 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 (see
Listening in surround sound
on page 62 if you need to do this) if you want multichannel surround
sound.
