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
subwoofer (if you have one), then the receiver
(press  RECEIVER).
• Make sure the setup microphone is
disconnected.
2 Select the input function you want to
play.
You can use the input function buttons on the
remote control, INPUT SELECT, or the front
panel INPUT SELECTOR dial.

3 Press , then press AUTO/ALC/
DIRECT (AUTO SURR/ALC/STREAM DIRECT)
to select 'AUTO SURROUND' and start
playback of the source.
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 Listening to your system on
page 59 for information on different ways
of listening to sources.
Note
1 Make sure that the TV's video input is set to 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).
2 If you need to manually switch the input signal type press SIGNAL SEL (page 63).
3 • You may need to check the digital audio output settings on your DVD player or digital satellite receiver.
• 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 (see Listening in surround sound on page 59 if you
need to do this) if you want multichannel surround sound.

It is possible to check on the front panel
display whether or not multi-channel playback
is being performed properly.
When using a surround back speaker, PLIIx
MOVIE is displayed when playing Dolby
Digital signals, and DTS+Neo:6 is displayed
when playing DTS 5.1-channel signals.
If the display does not correspond to the input
signal and listening mode, check the
connections and settings.
4 Use the volume control 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.
