Basic playback

Here are the basic instructions for playing a source (such as a Blu-ray Disc) with your home theater system.

1

Switch on your system components and receiver.

Start by switching on the playback component (for example a Blu-ray Disc player), your TV and subwoofer (if you have
one), then the receiver (press  STANDBY/ON).

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.

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.

control won’t switch operational modes.

Press AUTO/DIRECT to select ’AUTO SURR’ and start playback of the source.

If you’re playing a Dolby Digital or DTS surround sound Blu-ray/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.
