Input Selection Problems

If you find that certain inputs cannot be selected, Check the INPUTS menu of the OSD (page 53), and make sure that the input has not been disabled in that particular Zone.

There is No TV Picture

Make sure that the video input of your TV monitor is connected to the Main monitor output on the DMC- 1 rear panel.

Check that your Monitor is selecting its correct video input.

Check the video connection from your selected source component into the DMC-1.

Make sure that you are using the correct video connections. If in doubt, try connecting the video output from your source directly to your TV monitor. This will help you narrow down the problem.

Use only one type of Component Video, S-Video, or Composite Video connection on a given input.. If more than one are present at the same time, the DMC-1 will choose higher quality format and the S-Video and the Composite Video output will be off in this case.

No Tone Control Functions

Remember that the tone controls are non-functioning whenever the DMC-1 is using the 8-CH input, Source Direct mode, or in Zone 2.

No Dolby Digital or DTS Playback

See pages 65-66

Look for the Dolby Digital or DTS Logo on the source program’s box or sleeve. Make sure your player’s digital output is set to BITSTREAM for Dolby Digital or DTS. This is often a player’s setup menu item, not the disc’s menu. Some discs are available with a number of different options, such as Dolby Digital or Dolby Pro Logic. Make sure that you have selected the correct mode from your player’s menu. Only digital inputs will work for these modes. Check that your player’s digital output is connected to the appropriate corresponding digital input on your DMC-1.

There is no AC-3 RF input connection for Laserdisc players. You will need an external RF demodulator.

Check the calibration procedure from time to time. This is an excellent way of checking that all speakers are working correctly.

Noise bursts are heard when DTS encoded CDs or LDs are played. Compressed DTS data uses the normal digital audio tracks of CDs and LDs. This analog noise may be heard in your system before the DTS digital signal is locked on, or it may appear as a background hiss. To reduce or prevent this noise, disconnect any analog connections to your CD, DVD, or Laserdisc players. Just use the Digital connections and see if this addresses the problem.
