IMPORTANT NOTE:
The FM radio, AM radio, CD, and Tape audio inputs do not have
corresponding video inputs. When you select any of these sources,
you will see a blank screen on your TV (if your TV is on).

Surround Button

This button switches between the various surround sound modes and
2-channel stereo (except when the 6 Channel Audio input is used).

IMPORTANT NOTE: The Dolby Digital (AC-3) and DTS modes can be
selected only when either DSS Digital, cable Digital or DVD inputs are
selected. If you have selected a digital source with a Dolby Digital or
DTS soundtrack and you cannot get the 3/2.1 indicator on the display,
the most likely causes are:

1. The DVD player is not set to send out a 5.1 channel Dolby Digital or
DTS signal. In this case check the DVD player’s operation manual.

2. The 5.1 soundtrack has not been selected on the DVD disc. In this
case press the disc menu button on your DVD player to access the DVD
disc's menu, and select either the Dolby Digital 5.1 or DTS 5.1
selections on the disc's set-up menu. Consult your DVD player's
operation manual for more information.

3. The DVD disc does not have a 5.1 surround soundtrack. This is
especially true of pre-1985 movies.
