trated in the center speaker.
Make sure the speakers are configured correctly.

cannot be selected.

An audio cable may be picking up interference. Try
31
repositioning your cables.

About DTS signals
31
When DTS program material ends and the DTS bit-
stream stops, the AV receiver remains in DTS listen-
ing mode and the DTS indicator remains on. This is
to prevent noise when you use the pause, fast for-
—
ward, or fast reverse function on your player. If you
switch your player from DTS to PCM, because the
AV receiver does not switch formats immediately,
you may not hear any sound, in which case you
—
should stop your player for about three seconds, and
then resume playback.
With some CD and LD players, you won't be able to
31
playback DTS material properly even though your
player is connected to a digital input on the AV
receiver. This is usually because the DTS bitstream
— has been processed (e.g., output level, sampling rate,
or frequency response changed) and the AV receiver
doesn't recognize it as a genuine DTS signal. In such
31
cases, you may hear noise.
When playing DTS program material, using the
pause, fast forward, or fast reverse function on your
11
player may produce a short audible noise. This is not
a malfunction.

The beginning of audio received by an HDMI IN
can't be heard
31
Since it takes longer to identify the format of an
HDMI signal than it does for other digital audio sig-
nals, audio output may not start immediately.

Video
■
— There's no picture
Make sure that all video connecting plugs are pushed
26–28
in all the way.
Make sure that each video component is properly
connected.
If the video source is connected to a component
11
video input, you must assign that input to an input
selector, and your TV must be connected to COM-
PONENT VIDEO OUT.
26–28
If the video source is connected to a composite video
input, your TV must be connected to the correspond-
ing composite video output.
If the video source is connected to an HDMI input,
32
you must assign that input to an input selector, and
your TV must be connected to the HDMI OUT.
On your TV, make sure that the video input to which
the AV receiver is connected is selected.
