The display is dark.• The display DIMMER button is pushed. • Press DIMMER on the remote control repeatedly to return to the default set- ting (see page 56).

You can't get DIGITAL to come up when using the SIGNAL SELECT button.

•Either the digital connections or the DIG- ITAL IN SELECT is incorrect.

•MULTI CH IN mode is on.

•Make sure the digital connections (see pages 17 and 22) and the DIGITAL IN SELECT (see page 81) are done cor- rectly.

•Turn MULTI CH IN mode off (see page 53).

The digital format indicator doesn't light up even when playing a non-PCM digital source.

•The player is paused or stopped.

•There is a mistake in the player settings for audio output.

•Play the source.

•Fix the audio settings (check the man- ual that came with your DVD player).

A compressed digital source is being played, but the digital format indicators don't light up.

•Although it's a non-PCM digital source there is a possibility the present track is not the proper format (5.1, 6.1, or 7.1 channel).

•There is no problem. The indicator won't light when the track is not a com- pressed digital source.

During playback of a compressed digital source, the PRO LOGIC II or NEO:6 indicators show in the display.

•The digital signal is not being sent with the source.

•The audio is in two channel format.

•It has already been Dolby surround encoded.

•Choose DIGITAL or AUTO with the sig- nal select button (see page 44).

•This is not a malfunction. Check the manufacturer information for the source.

During playback of a Surround EX or DTS ES source on the AUTO setting, the EX and ES indicators won't light.

•The source may be 6.1 playback compat- ible, but there is no signal from the source to indicate this.

•Switch the SB CH MODE to ON (see page 54).

During playback of a DVD audio source, the player shows a transfer rate of 96kHz, but the receiver does not.

•The multichannel connections are ana- log, so there is no digital transfer.

•This is not a malfunction. See the player's manual for more details.
