Playing a source
Here are the basic instructions for playing a source (such
as a DVD disc) with your home theater system.

1
Turn on the power of the playback component
(for example a DVD player), your TV and subwoofer
(if you have one).
• If your source is the TV's built-in tuner, then switch to
the channel you want to watch, otherwise make sure
that the TV's video input is set to this receiver. (For
example, if you connected this receiver to the VIDEO
1 jacks on your TV, make sure that VIDEO 1 input is
now selected.)
2
If the receiver isn't already on, press
RECEIVER to switch it on.
3
Change the receiver input to the source you
want to play.
You can use the front panel INPUT SELECTOR knob or
Input/remote control mode select buttons on the
remote.
4
Start playback of the DVD (or other component).
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.
• See also Home theater sound on page 27 for more
information on different ways of listening to sources.
