as a DVD disc) with your home theater system.
1 Switch on your system components and receiver.

If you’re playing a Dolby Digital or DTS surround sound
source, 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 Listening to your system on page 52 for
information on different ways of listening to sources.
It is possible to check on the front panel display whether
or not multi-channel playback is being performed
properly. For details, see Auto Surround, ALC and Stream
Direct with different input signal formats on page 103.
When using a surround back speaker, 2D+PLIIx
MOVIE is displayed when playing Dolby Digital signals,
and DTS+Neo:6 is displayed when playing DTS 5.1-
channel signals.
If the display does not correspond to the input signal and
listening mode, check the connections and settings.
4 Use the volume control to adjust the volume level.
Turn down the volume of your TV so that all sound is
coming from the speakers connected to this receiver.
Playing a source with HDMI connection
• Use INPUT SELECT to select the HDMI input you’ve
connected to (for example, HDMI 1).
You can also perform the same operation by using the
INPUT SELECTOR dial on the front panel or by pressing
HDMI on the remote control repeatedly.
• Set the HDMI parameter in Setting the Audio options
on page 59 to THROUGH if you want to hear HDMI
audio output from your TV (no sound will be heard
from this receiver).
• If the video signal does not appear on your TV, try
adjusting the resolution settings on your component
or display. Note that some components (such as
video game units) have resolutions that may not be
converted. In this case, use an analog video
connection.
