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, press
SIGNAL SEL to select the audio input signal for
playback.
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.
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
