1Turn on the power of the playback component (for example a DVD player), your TV and subwoofer (if you have one).

•If your source is the TV’s built-in tuner, then 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 1 jacks on your TV, make sure that VIDEO 1 input is now selected.)

2If the receiver isn’t already on, press

RECEIVER to switch it on.

3Change the receiver input to the source you want to play.

You can use the front panel INPUT SELECTOR knob or the DVD, STB, DVR/TV, VIDEO, FRONT or FM/AM buttons on the remote control.

4Start playback of the DVD (or other component). If you’re playing a Dolby Digital or DTS surround sound DVD disc, you should hear surround sound. If you are playing a stereo source, you will only hear sound from the front left/right speakers in the default listening mode.

•See also Home theater sound on page 23 for more information on different ways of listening to sources.

5Use MASTER VOLUME (front panel or remote) to adjust the volume level.

•Turn down the volume of your TV so that all the sound is coming from the speakers connected to this receiver.

•If you need to change the input signal type from digital to analog, press SIGNAL SELECT (see also Selecting the input signal type on page 29).

•For more detailed surround sound setup, see The System Setup menu on page 31.
