to “Center”.

 

Make sure the speakers are configured correctly.

When the T-D (Theater-Dimensional), Stereo or

Mono listening mode is selected, the surround

 

speakers produce no sound.

nected device. On some game consoles, such as

 

those that support DVD, the default setting is off.

 

 

 

With some DVD-Video discs, you need to select an

audio output format from a menu.

 

Depending on the input signal, some listening modes

3742

cannot be selected.

 

Can’t select the Pure Audio listening mode

The Pure Audio listening mode cannot be selected — while Zone 2/3 is on.

Can’t get 6.2/7.2 playback

The speaker volume cannot be set as required (The volume cannot be set to Max(100.0))

Check to see if a maximum volume has been set.

If the volume level of each individual speaker has

29, 49

been adjusted to high positive values, then the maxi- mum master volume possible may be reduced. Note that the individual speaker volume levels are set automatically after Audyssey MultEQ® XT32 Room Correction and Speaker Setup function has been completed.

Noise can be heard

Using cable ties to bundle audio cables with power — cords, speaker cables, and so on may degrade the audio performance, so don’t do it.

An audio cable may be picking up interference. Try — repositioning your cables.

Make sure the source material is Dolby Digital,

63

Dolby Digital Plus, and Dolby TrueHD.

 

The analog multichannel input doesn’t work

Check the multichannel input connections.

Make sure that the multichannel input is assigned to

47

the input selector.

 

Make sure that the multichannel input is selected.

64

Check the audio output settings on your source com- — ponent.

About DTS signals

When DTS program material ends and the DTS bit- — stream stops, the AV controller remains in DTS lis- tening mode and the DTS indicator remains on. This

is to prevent noise when you use the pause, fast for- ward, or fast reverse function on your player. If you switch your player from DTS to PCM, because the AV controller does not switch formats immediately, you may not hear any sound, in which case you should stop your player for about three seconds, and then resume playback.

With some CD and LD players, you won’t be able to — playback DTS material properly even though your player is connected to a digital input on the AV con- troller. This is usually because the DTS bitstream

has been processed (e.g., output level, sampling rate, or frequency response changed) and the AV control- ler doesn’t recognize it as a genuine DTS signal. In such cases, you may hear noise.

When playing DTS program material, using the

pause, fast forward, or fast reverse function on your

 

player may produce a short audible noise. This is not

 

amalfunction.

The beginning of audio received by an HDMI IN can’t be heard

Since it takes longer to identify the format of an

HDMI signal than it does for other digital audio sig-

 

nals, audio output may not start immediately.
