What Those Teeny Little Lights Mean

On/Off Surround Button

This button switches between surround sound and 2 channel stereo.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The Dolby Digital (AC-3) mode can be selected only when either LD, DSS Digital, or DVD inputs are selected. If you have selected a digital source with a Dolby Digital soundtrack and you cannot get the “3/2.1” indicator on the display (see page 24), the most likely causes are:

1.The DVD player is not set to send out a 5.1 channel Dolby Digital signal. In this case check the DVD player’s operation manual.

2.The 5.1 soundtrack has not been selected on the DVD disc. In this case press the disc menu button on your DVD player to access the DVD disc’s menu, and select Dolby Digital 5.1 on the disc’s set-up menu. Consult your DVD player’s operation manual for more information.

3.The DVD disc does not have a 5.1 surround soundtrack. This is especially true of pre-1985 movies.
