Start by switching on the playback component (for
example a DVD player), your TV
have one), then the receiver (press  RECEIVER).
• Make sure the setup microphone is disconnected.
Note
1 Make sure that the TV's video input is set to this receiver (for example, if you connected this receiver to the VIDEO1 jacks on your TV, make
sure that the VIDEO1 input is now selected).
2 If you need to manually switch the input signal type press SIGNAL SEL (page 68).
3 • 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 (see Listening in surround sound on page 62 if you need to do this) if you want multichannel surround
sound.
