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
 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 the front
panel INPUT SELECTOR button. In this case, the remote
control won’t switch operational modes.
4 Press AUTO/DIRECT to select ‘AUTO SURR’ 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 VOL +/– 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.
• If channel levels are calibrated using Auto MCACC setup,
“0 dB” represents a level roughly equivalent to the volume
of a movie theater (i.e., it is loud; please be considerate of
small children and neighbors when adjusting the
volume.)
Note
• When digital input (optical or coaxial) is selected, this
receiver can only play back Dolby Digital, PCM (32 kHz to
96 kHz) and DTS (including DTS 96 kHz/24 bit) digital
signal formats. The compatible signals via the HDMI
terminals are: Dolby Digital, DTS, SACD (DSD 2 ch only),
PCM (32 kHz to 192 kHz sampling frequencies), Dolby
TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus, DTS-EXPRESS, DTS-HD
Master Audio and DVD Audio (including 192 kHz). With
other digital signal formats, chose analog input.
• You may get digital noise when a LD or CD player
compatible with DTS is playing an analog signal. To
prevent noise, make the proper digital connections
(page 12).
• Some DVD players don’t output DTS signals. For more
details, refer to the instruction manual supplied with your
DVD player.
