Listening to your system05

Chapter 5:

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

and

subwoofer (if you have one), then the receiver

(press  RECEIVER).

• Make sure the setup microphone is

disconnected.

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.

3 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, 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.

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,

2D+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, 2D

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.

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 If you need to manually switch the input signal type press SIGNAL SEL (page 41).

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 if you want multichannel surround sound.
