■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.

■The Late Night function doesn’t work

Make sure the source material is Dolby Digital,

57

Dolby Digital Plus, and Dolby TrueHD.

 

■About DTS signals

When DTS program material ends and the DTS bit- — stream stops, the AV receiver remains in DTS listen- ing 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 receiver 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 receiver. This is usually because the DTS bitstream has been processed (e.g., output level, sampling rate,

or frequency response changed) and the AV receiver doesn’t recognize it as a genuine DTS signal. In such cases, you may hear noise.
