What to Do If You Can’t Select a Listening Mode

•Is the source component connected digitally? The Dolby Digital and DTS listening modes can be selected only if your DVD player is connected to the TX-L55 with a digital audio (coaxial or optical) con- nection (see page 23).

•The Dolby Digital or DTS listening modes can be selected only when the input signal is Dolby Digital or DTS, respectively.

•Check the digital output settings on the source compo- nent. If the digital output is set to PCM, change it so that other signal formats can be output as well.
