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
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.
• The input of the receiver will switch over, and you will be
able to operate other components using the remote
control. To operate the receiver, first press
on
the remote control, then press the appropriate button to
operate.
• The input source can also be selected by using
INPUT
SELECT
buttons on the remote control, or by
using the front panel
INPUT SELECTOR
dial. In this case,
the remote control won’t switch operational modes.
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.
When using a surround back speaker,
2
D+PLIIx
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,
2
D
is displayed
when playing Dolby Digital signals.
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 MASTER 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.
Press
, then press SIGNAL SEL to select the
audio input signal corresponding to the source component.
