Chapter 4:
Listening to your system
Important
• The listening modes and many features
described in this section may not be
available depending on the current source,
settings and status of the receiver.
Basic playback
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
1
and
subwoofer (if you have one), then the receiver
(press
RECEIVER
).
2
Select the input function you want to
play.
You can use the input function buttons on the
remote control,
INPUT SELECT
, or the front
panel
INPUT SELECTOR
dial.
If you need to manually switch the input signal
type (digital or analog audio) press
SIGNAL
SEL
(see
Choosing the input signal
on
page 26).
3
Press AUTO/DIRECT to select ‘AUTO
SURROUND’ and start playback of the
source.
2
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 (see
Display
on page 8).
If the display does not correspond to the input
signal and listening mode, check the
connections and settings.
4
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.
Note
1 Make sure that the TV’s video input is set to 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).

2 • 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.
