Troubleshooting
Sound
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.
With a Dolby Digital program or DTS program, the loud sounds
aren’t very loud and the quiet sounds aren’t very quiet
Check that volume extremes are not automatically being balanced. See
“Midnight Theater Function” on page 16 of this manual.
All I hear is loud static when I play DTS discs
• Check that Digital has been set as the input type. DTS discs do not
output analog sound. See “To Set Input Mode manually” on page 23.
• DTS discs can only be played in Zone A
I hear a hum when I select the PHONO input
Check that:
• The audio cables are connected securely to the Phono jack set. See
Chapter One of the Connections and Setup Guide.
• The turntable is grounded on the receiver. See Chapter One of the
Connections and Setup Guide.
Audio is not output only when a 96 kfs compatible disc is played.
• The optical cable may be bent. Distribute optical cables as straight as
possible.
• Check that the optical cable connector is connected properly.
• Certain DVD player models or DVD discs inhibit digital output. Use
analog cables with such a DVD player.
Sound is intermittent
Attach the provided protective cap to the unused OPTICAL inputs. If the
light from a fluorescent lamp or direct sunlight enters through this con-
nector, the played audio will be intermittent.
