Note

1If your source is the TV’s built-in tuner, switch to the channel you want to watch, otherwise 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 selected). Turn down the volume of your TV so that all the sound is coming from the speakers connected to this receiver.

2• This receiver can only play back Dolby Digital, PCM (32 kHz to 96 kHz), DTS and WMA9 Pro digital signal formats. With other digital signal formats, set to ANALOG.

•You may get digital noise when a LD or CD player compatible with DTS is playing an analog signal. To prevent noise, make the proper digital connections (Connecting other audio components on page 15) and set the signal input to DIGITAL.

•Some DVD players don’t output DTS signals. For more details, refer to the instruction manual supplied with your DVD player.

3• During playback from the multichannel inputs, you can’t use any of the sound features/modes and only the volume and channel levels can be set.

•You can’t listen to your speaker B (Second Zone) system during playback from the multichannel inputs.
