PCM/DTS fix mode
In rare cases, the unit may have trouble recognizing the digital
signals on discs.
• With the PCM signals on CDs, this may cause the beginning
of a track to be cut off. Engage the PCM FIX mode if this
occurs.
• With DTS, the signals may not be recognized at all. Engage
the DTS FIX mode if this occurs.

The current mode is displayed. Press again to change the mode.
Each time you press the button:
AUTO → PCM FIX → DTS FIX
When a FIX mode is on, the unit cannot process other signals.
This may cause noise to be output. Select "AUTO" if this occurs.
The mode returns to AUTO when you switch the unit to standby.

but it isn't playing properly, then do the following after step 1
above:
On the Main unit

2. Press [TUNE 2 or 1] to select "ON".
3. Press [MENU].
If this causes noise to occur, return the setting to "OFF". (This
