Checking the Settings on Your DVD (or other) Player
If you don’t set the following two features correctly you may experience problems with your surround sound (for
example: no sound whatsoever; the sound is unidimensional or lacks punch; or other problems).
1 Digital output from your DVD player or other component outputting a digital source
Set the DVD player so the signals below are output from the optical terminal (if you are unsure how to do this
check the manual that came with your DVD player). It may or may not be necessary to set the digital output on
other components, like a satellite tuner. Check the manual that came with the component.
• Dolby Digital
• DTS
• 96 kHz PCM (2 channel stereo)
2 Checking the soundtrack on your disc
Choose the surround sound signal (for example, Dolby Digital 5.1 ch or Dolby Surround) that you want to hear
from the disc. Check the manual that came with your DVD player for more information.
• Depending on your DVD player or source discs you may not be able to output sound from other than digital 2
channel stereo and analog. In this case you need to change the listening mode to SURROUND if you want
multichannel surround sound.
Program Format/Speaker Channel Indicators
One very useful feature of this receiver is the Program Format/Speaker Channel Indicators. This indicator looks
something like this:
With this indicator you can determine which channels are present in a Dolby Digital or DTS source as well as the
speakers that are currently being used. The letters L, C, R, LFE, LS & RS represent the signal being input for each
channel respectively, with LFE being the Low Frequency Effects channel which feeds your subwoofer. These letters
will only appear if the input is a Dolby Digital or DTS signal.
The triangular segments and SW represent the output from the receiver. The upper segments represent the front
left, center, and front right speakers while the bottom segments represent the surround left and surround right
channels. SW represents the subwoofer channel. If you have all of these speakers connected and are using either a
multichannel signal (for example, Dolby Digital 5.1 ch or Dolby Surround), or a listening mode to get five
channels sound, all five of the segments will light. For stereo signals only the front left, center, and front right
speakers segments will light.
In some cases, depending on the source and listening mode, the output channels may not light up.
