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
).
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.
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
/–
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.
