Sound

A Dolby Digital Surround EX-encoded source is played with THX Surround EX set to “Auto”, but the source is not reproduced in 6.1- channel audio.

•Some encoded sources (discs) do not contain the recording of the encoding identification signal. To reproduce such sources in 6.1-chan- nel audio, set THX Surround EX to ON. See “To set the THX Mode” on page 24 of this manual.

Sound from one (or more) of my components is abnormally loud or soft

Adjust the analog input level for that component: See “Adjusting the Input Level” on page 15 of this manual.

I can’t hear sound from some of my laser discs

Check that the disc contains a digital soundtrack (the disc’s cover will bear a “digital sound” logo). Some older laser discs contain only analog soundtracks. If the disc does not have a digital soundtrack, change the input type to Analog. See “Switching Input Modes” on page 23 of this manual and also read the manual of your laser disc player.

There wasn’t any sound recorded on tapes made on my VCR or tape deck

Check that:

•The audio cables are connected properly for the component.

•The source is connected via an analog jack set . See Chapter One of the Connections and Setup Guide.

•Analog has been set as the input mode. Digital inputs such as Dolby Digital, DTS or MPEG need to be downmixed into two channels for recording to analog media (such as VHS or audio tape). See “Digital to Analog Recording” on page 48.

The initial sound is intermittent or non-existent when I start to play from a Dolby Digital, DTS, DTS-ES or MPEG source

•Some DVD players simply have intermittent start-up sound.

•Check that the correct digital cable is being used. The cable must be a digital coaxial or optical cable. See Chapter One of the Connections and Setup Guide.
